I feel like I’m up for the challenge of veganizing pretty much anything. I mean, I’ll at least give it a shot. Sometimes it’s an epic fail, but more often than not, I’m pretty impressed at how I can recreate a dish using no butter, 

Sweet & Sour Meatballs {Vegan}

Sweet & Sour Meatballs {Vegan}

When I was growing up, my mom made this dish. It’s one of those dishes that has all the comfort food vibes: Sweet & Sour Meatballs. For a variety of reasons, I haven’t eaten this dish in many, many years. One is, my mom is

Well, okay then. Here we are in 2021. Weird how hopeful we were for those first few days, especially, though really not much has changed. We’re still in the middle of a global pandemic. But there are glimmers of light on the horizon; a new

2020: The Year that Was

Honestly, I thought I might skip the “year in review” post this year. I mean, I certainly wasn’t ready to write it while it was still 2020. Normally these “year in review” posts go something like: here’s how many posts I wrote this year, this

Well, I don’t know how brave you guys have been, but I haven’t been doing a lot of eating out lately. Yeah, I logged some hours on some patios this summer, but for the most part, any restaurant food I’ve eaten has been mostly takeout. 

My Mom’s Date Squares

My Mom’s Date Squares

About a year ago, I came into possession of my mom’s recipe box. Now, I lost my mom to cancer 12 years ago, so this is somewhat of a treasure to me. Not just because these are recipes I remember her making (and me loving),
