Today, I'm thankful for airline miles. Yes, airline miles. Because thanks to them, I was able to book a trip to Spain for me and my daughter. A much needed, retail therapy and pampering filled trip to Spain.
We did this two years ago, right before we were ready to launch "May I have that recipe". I took her to Barcelona for ten days and we had the best time with my parents, especially my mom. I was a true girls getaway. Nothing but shopping, good food and laughs. Fun, relaxing... Yes, just perfect.
I'm so excited that we get to do it again! Can't think of a better way to start the year. And I promise I'll do my best to come back with plenty of inspiration for new recipes to share.
But for now, here's a little recipe mash up for you. Think about a potato latka you would eat in Hanukkah, but filled with Thanksgiving stuffing flavors. Just a little twist to a traditional recipe that your vegan and gluten free guests might be thankful for 🙂
What are you thankful for?
Gluten Free Two-Potato, Apple & Chestnut Stuffing (Vegan)
- Total Time: 2 hours 15 mins
- Yield: 6-8 1x
Ingredients

Instructions
- Place grated potatoes on a colander over a bowl. Add one teaspoon of salt and toss well. Set aside for 20 to 30 minutes to drain some of the water out (you can also let them sit in the fridge overnight)
