You know the holiday meals you never cook except on holidays cause that shit takes hella WORK lol


So essentially a meal made with a lot of ingredients, from scratch, and there be STEPS to the shit. Lol Cause I cook regularly. It's just not that extensive and it's quicker.


But I'm starting to build my own traditional menu for special occasions.

▪︎Collard Greens without meat (I've made it so many holidays now I don't need the recipe like that)▪︎Butternut Squash Mac n Cheese


Since my household will be vegan and vegetarian, many of the recipes passed on to me by my mother I can't use. ☹


Although I'm vegetarian fluid who's lactose intolerant. Soooo Mama's ▪︎Deviled Eggs are staying lol▪︎Watergate Salad is a must (and easily can be made vegan)▪︎Mashed Potatoes (I have to work on vegan butter that tastes good)


And since my partner can't eat sweets, I'll be adding sugar free or sugar substitute desserts to my skill set at some point.


But I neeed the recipe for Boston Market's Sweet Potato Casserole. Sooo good!!


He's also allergic to shellfish so he's just gonna have to go away when me and the kids are having our 🦀🦀 sprawled out on the 🗞📰 in the backyard with GoGo playing in the background. Lol D(M)V and yes I'm praying they don't get his allergy lol (I'm rooting for the generations of Maryland genes in me lol)


I also have my dad's Grilled Corn on the Cob recipe 🌽I need to learn how to grill vegetables period. Cause that's not often what the grill is used for in Black Families. Lol


I do want to learn how to make vegan potato salad from scratch.


Will be incorporating a Ghanian Egg Stew, a recipe that my friend generously shared with me.


And I can't wait to learn Guyanese recipes from my partner's mom and aunt!


But I'm excited to be building my known holiday meals menu and to create those traditions within my family 😁❤

Food brings people together. ❤❤❤ and it is so comforting when you know it was your food that did it.
