I know, I might have gone a bit overboard, but all of the elements in the meal are so delicious, I wanted you to know about each individual one!
So, with so many elements, where should I start?

Christmas is a time for joy, for presents, for family, and of course, for EATING. I have to admit, out of all of the ways to celebrate the season, eating good food was at the top of my list. I was lucky enough to host my inlaws this Christmas, and I couldn’t resist planning a set of delicious meals for them while they were here. I’m sharing everything I cooked for Christmas in this blog post.

Happy Friday!
I’m so excited because this Friday is the first during quarantine times that I’m actually heading out of town. The US is starting to open back up again, and I’m celebrating by taking a weekend away at a lake a few hours away in East Texas. Nothing crazy, just some R&R time.
It made me wonder though… since I’m no longer stuck at home, does this mean this is the end to my “cocktails under quarantine” series? Honestly, I’m having so much fun, I really want to keep it going. I might consider a rebrand, though. I can definitely get on board with a Creative Cocktail Night or a Home Happy Hour blog post. Let me know if you have any ideas!

For those who don’t know, I grew up in Kansas City and lived there from age 12 until age 29. So even though I currently reside in Texas, my heart is still very much all about the Kansas City BBQ.
Kansas City BBQ, as it is compared to Texas, Memphis, or Carolina BBQ, is generally sweeter. The meat itself is generally made with rubs more on the sweet side, and the sauce itself definitely is going to have some brown sugar in it. We’re most well-known for our burnt ends and ribs, but my personal favorite meat is pulled pork.
Since I’m in Dallas now, I can’t drive down the street to get the Z-Man at Joe’s KC, or the Triple Threat at Q39. So when I want Kansas City comfort food, I compromise by making my own Kansas City BBQ at home.

Hawaiian roll ham & cheese sliders are a potluck classic. As they say, things are classic for a reason, and that certainly goes for these sandwiches.
These sliders are a potluck dream: You prepare them in advance (you can even prepare them the night before), then bake them off right before you need to go to your potluck. They are perfectly portable, and great for sharing since they are small bites.

Did you say “bacon-wrapped”?
That, on its own, is enough to know that this recipe is good. But if you need anything else to convince you, just keep reading.

Homemade meatballs are such a treat. There’s something about them that makes them special. For me, I think it’s because the act of rolling and frying them individually makes them a bit of a labor of love, and it’s not something I’ll do on an average week.
I was talking to my mom on the phone a few weeks ago and asked her what she was going to make for dinner and she mentioned making Asian-flavored meatballs. I thought about my fridge ingredients and determined that I had the perfect ingredients to make meatballs myself! So I got to work that night, but I decided to go Italian instead.
