Wow, it’s been a minute.
I cannot believe how many months it has been since I’ve last posted. Everything 2020 has brought has been very overwhelming. This is one of those super simple meals that I’ve made during quarantine that doesn’t seem too daunting or challenging.
One of my favorite meals my mom used to make when I was little was sloppy joes. I’d always imagine eating it like Mary Kate and Ashley in It Takes Two but I never did because obviously, my mom would not be happy with me. If you don’t get the reference, you have to go watch it! It’s the perfect, happy, and silly movie to watch, especially right now. Plus, these sloppy joes make great leftovers.
