A few years ago, I decided to go vegetarian. I invested a lot of time testing out meatless recipes. When I’d find a winner, I’d save it somewhere, then forget about it. Or I’d take these veggie dishes to parties and get asked...how did you make this? It’s yummy! I’d say, here’s the online recipe, but I changed this or added that. I couldn’t keep track. Time to get organized.

At the time, I was working heavily in ASP.NET Web Forms and MS SQL Databases. Version 1 of VeggieMike.com is built with this technology. In Version 2, I’ve upgraded the public side of the site using .NET Core MVC and Entity Framework.
