It’s been a week since it’s been raining and the weather has changed a bit, one would feel cold under a fan. I’ve been cooking veggies for a long time and to bring change instead of going out and eating some junk I decided to cook something really creamy at home. I started looking for the stuff available at home and decided to cook creamy sausage shells. We also recorded a video.
