Holiday Challenge – Week 2 – Mini Chocolate Pies

Hasselback Potatoes
My opinion on Hasselback Potatoes is that they are simply baked potatoes made fancy. In the theme of making every meal special one dish at a time, this is a great way to change things up. Your family will experience the baked potatoes that they love in a whole new way. I started this dish…
