By Frieda Wednesday, January 26, 2022 0 , , Permalink 0

At the end of last year I received a press package of 2 new Aviko products, Mashed Potato and Churros. Both incredibly tasty. When you think of Spanish treats, you think of Churros, but today I want to talk about my favorite, Mashed Potato.

I recently made a delicious recipe with this variant that I share with you at the bottom of this article. Mashed potatoes are often a challenge to make yourself. Ideally you want to get ...

For the most part you are at home, with the children and the highlight of the day is going to the supermarket to do some shopping (when the delivery service is full). Time flies though, I'm hours short. Half a day you are a teacher, the other half of the day you do your own work.

Basil in Genoa, truffle in San ...
