Once upon a time, people had the time needed to prepare more time-consuming meals for dinner. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!! Yeah… right.

Fasolakia Yiahni (Greek Green Bean and Potato Stew)

Posted on June 16, 2021 by Dorie

There are a variety of dishes that I wasn’t fond of when I was a kid. I look back and wonder what the heck was wrong with me. Please don’t answer that question for me!
