I grew up spending summers at my grandma’s in Kansas City. Walking into her kitchen smelling the yeast from the bread. Going to the garden and picking everything fresh for the meals. Those days were so precious to me. As I grew up and took my mother out we would go to restaurants and pay a lot of money for tasteless BBQ that no one wished to box and take home. That inspired me to learn how to smoke meat, watch the competitions and do what the winners did. I started smoking around 2010.
About Veronica
I grew up with a stay at home mom who made fresh bread, pies from boiled down pumpkin, and home made cakes. It was always a treat to come home and see her doing something in the kitchen that I could help with. When I had a family I continued to do make them cakes for birthdays and fresh pies. I realized it’s not common in our society anymore as we become more busy and looking for a quick buy. I wanted to bake for our community and went to Johnson and Wales before they closed after COVID-19, unfortunately not graduating but learning how to hone my skills and cook for dietary restrictions while earning my Food Safety manager certificate.

“My experience with Meats and Sweets was great. They were recommended to me from a colleague who went to a tasting, experienced their food and friendly demeanor, and came back with high praise. So, I reached out and could tell immediately that warm and friendly hospitality was built into the business. This husband-and-wife team were very communicative and excited for the opportunity to supply a bid as I narrowed down our catering options.”
