    Things have been so crazy around here.  We are hopefully almost done working through technical issues (Yay!).  You may notice that the URL is now https://wendypolisi.com instead of httpS://wendypolisi.com.

    For some of you that means that you may click on a link and your browser will automatically revert to the old https and if this happens you need to clear your cache OR in some cases just manually deleting the s that your browser put into the url will work.

    Sorry for the trouble...and to make up for it I have some comfort food for you.

    You know I love Mexican food and while I love rice or quinoa with it, every now and then I like to mix things up.  These Mexican smashed potatoes are a fun way to do it.

    Don't eat white potatoes?  This would also be good with sweet potatoes - just boil them until they are tender.
