With just two ingredients and a hands-off cooking method, this pastrami couldn’t be an easier main course. The total package! It’s economical as far as meat is concerned, features just two ingredients (plus the meat), and is super crowd-pleasing. I got this recipe from a friend years ago and I can’t begin to tell you…

Because kids don’t want prune or apricot anyway. We’re going to have a lot of fun today. Can’t you tell? Do sprinkles just make you happy? (Or, at least, do they make your kids happy?)

Corn Riblets
You can make them at home. And, surprise, they taste even better than in any restaurant. I went to my WhatsApp history and actually looked this up, because it was kind of important for me to know, and yes, already back in the beginning of 2022 we wrote a corn riblets recipe. No, you never…
