I woke up today feeling under the weather. Man, the weather is darn crazy these past few days. Just like yesterday, when I stepped out of the house the sun was burning and then it suddenly rained. When I woke up earlier I was so weak to even stand up, but hey the husband is here so he prepared my favorite. Homemade Sloppy Joes! This beauty cheered me up like crazy! The sweet and savory combination is insanely good, messy but satisfying. My husband nailed it! Not too sweet, not too spicy, just perfectly balanced Sloppy Joes to cheer me up! This homemade sloppy joe is the best in history! Mouthwatering and super delicious!
