Instead of beer and pizza it was meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

To continue the tater theme here’s a recipe from my twin!
I made it right before my son’s very last asthma flare in June. We have since found out that he is allergic to milk. I try not to think too hard at the fact that I may have thrown him into an attack with this [...]
