I love papanasi. I really do. 😁 But while I’ve always been more of a fan of the fried ones, loaded with sour cream and jam, this time I decided to give the boiled version a try. The idea came after a friend challenged me to make boiled papanasi. I […]
I’ve been meaning to try making some snacks that I could take with me after the gym, but I kept putting it off because I was always missing the main ingredient: dates. Or, when I did have some, *le husband would eat them before I had a chance to actually make anything […]
