All the decorations and lights are up. The presents are under the tree and shipped to the far out loved ones we can’t visit this season. The only thing left to plan are holiday meals. I don’t know what it is but I don’t ever have the desire to put as much effort and sweat…

Easy Cheesy Mozzarella Sticks
A girl walks into a bar… Too soon? As of lately this girl is going for long walks to the kitchen. Bar food is a thing of the recent past considering this quarantine. I miss the late night simple things; a juicy burger with fries, buffalo wings, jalapeno poppers, pizza that looks like slices from…
