There is something special about cooking a Haitian meal on Sunday for my family. This was a request by my niece, Sierra, and there was zero way that I could tell her no! She even wanted the roasted cauliflower with some peri peri seasoning. Also, are you even Haitian if you don’t put some of the sauce on your rice? 🤣🇭🇹

If you’re not making your wings on a rack in the oven, you’re doing it all wrong! I’m that person who prefers to not fry food in the heat of summer, so this is a perfect alternative. Not to mention that it’s healthier, and tastes so darn good!⁣

Lemon pepper wings are my absolute favorite. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘰-𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴?

Who is ready for another one pan meal? 🙋🏽‍♀️ This is easily one of my favorites because of the sauce. There's something about it that makes you want to cook this meal over and over. ⁣⁠⁣⁠⁣

Y'all know I'm looking for easy meals. If I have to be a teacher on top of everything else, I have to simplify some of the process for my cooking...and this meal was another win! 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘷𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘩?⁣⁠⁣

My favorite slow cooker meal of all time. Mississippi Pot Roast. I’ve been using the same recipe for years, and it never disappoints. Super flavorful and takes all of 5 minutes to prep, if that. ⁣
⁣
For the first night I always pair the meat with mashed potatoes, which I cook myself. No boxed mashies round here. Then to repurpose the meal a couple of nights later, I will typically do a French dip type sandwich. It’s truly the meal that keeps on giving. ⁣

4lb Chuck Roast⁣
1 packet ranch dressing/dip mix⁣
1 packet au jus mix ⁣
1 stick butter⁣
5-10 pepperoncini peppers⁣
⁣
Put roast in crock pot. Sprinkle ranch mix and gravy mix on top. Add butter and place the peppers around it on top of the meat. Cook on low 8-10 hours.I actually turn my roast over mid way. I’ve noticed it shreds better for me that way, but it’s totally necessary.

I tested a new recipe tonight! Slow Cooker General Tso Chicken. It was DELISH! I didn’t make mine as spicy as it could have been due to kids, but honeeeeeey it was good anyways. I’m working hard to try recipes that require minimal work, but provide maximum flavor. I paired it with steamed broccoli, because who doesn’t love Chinese food with broccoli as the side? ⁣

Nothing makes me happier than scoops of ice cream on a Friday afternoon. Seriously. Through COVID I'm learning to find the joy in every little thing. While I've always loved to cook and learn about the art of cooking, I'm now taking my craft more seriously. I'm enjoying the flavors of what I create more than ever before. I think you deserve a scoop of ice cream for all of your hard work this week, 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶?⁣
