my dad a meal that he only gets when he goes to see his parents.\u00a0 I made several of our favorite foods from MamaSara and Papa&#8217;s house&#8230;the best Lebanese and Italian cooks I know!\u00a0 Maybe one day I&#8217;ll post these recipes.\u00a0 For now I am posting pics because it was a pretty delicious meal and reminded me so much of my sweet MamaSara.\u00a0 In fact, my sister and mom gave me the best compliment they could possibly have given me when they said, &#8220;It smells like MamaSara&#8217;s house in here!&#8221;\u00a0 Oh how I treasure that smell!<\/p>\n<p>So, to any of you who can appreciate Lebanese or Italian foods&#8230;I made stuffed squash, spaghetti with homemade spaghetti sauce, Kibbee (Kibba, Kibbie, however you choose to spell it), <a
