I’ll admit upfront, I’m a “Date Ball” convert. Love em. Before changing over though, the thought of eating a Date made my face contort and my shoulders hunch. Dates! Ugh!

Mini Chicken and Mushroom Pies
I ditched buying store bought pies a long time ago – they just taste ughhh. Once you’ve become accustomed to a good homemade pie (like these mini Chicken and Mushroom Pies), there is just no going back unfortunately. What do you say?

The thing with entertaining is that you want to serve something stylish but you don’t want to be in the kitchen for hours creating that style, right? Yes, I hear you. We speak the same language.
