Lyonnaise Potatoes (sliced potatoes cooked with onions) are as beautiful as the name. Sticky, caramelized onions fried alongside golden crispy potatoes, and topped with buttery garlic and parsley.

But we are in March and...

I have a monitor for the girls’ room and run a diffuser during the night and every time the power blinked it would go off and I would go reset it, but about the third time I moved them to the hall by my room on sleeping bags for the rest of the night. Glad that Monday is beginning with no rain and no thunderstorms. Hope it lasts through the week. T...
