Pure Yummyness!

This past weekend I decided I needed to have cheesy scalloped potatoes and NOT that crap that comes from a box. So I did the old Google search and found this AMAZING recipe! Basically, I can't get enough of these things in my mouth. Amazing.

I wish I'd taken a photo but I forgot...and I'm not about to show you the one serving left in the pan. Just a few notes....This is really a super easy dish to make. I added 2 cups of cheese to my milk and onion mixture and I'm glad I did......here you go. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
