You’re overthinking dinner so save this recipe!Boil 1/2 box pasta in SALTED waterWhile it’s boiling sit down and relax 🤣Drain pasta add back to pan with almost a stick of butter, salt to taste & garlic powder (the secret ingredient to elevate) Stir in milk and cheese - you def need sharp cheddar and in this version I like to balance with meltier mozzarella and spunky Parmesan. This combo is great for kids and adults because it’s not too much but still has great flavor. Add to baking pan and add a bit more milk if it seems too dry. I really want to reference a Megan the stallion line here but 🤐😹Top with cheese bake until golden (again sit down n relax) and dazzzit!

Respectfully who decided peach cobbler belonged in a bowl because I have notes!? This peach cobbler is a gem of a recipe I found on the internet many moons ago with a couple Chefleen elevations of course. The most obvious being serving in a cone so fun but also adds a texture that I personally think peach cobbler deserved. Top with ice cream or if you don’t have access to freezer freshly whipped cream ā¤ļøAre you going to try this? I’ll share full recipe if I get 20 YES comments. by @chefleen

Motherhood doesn’t erase who we are it adds another layer to us. We can love our babies deeply and still love our work, passions, and parts of ourselves that existed before motherhood. Every time I add a new layer I like to think of it as a mom milestone. To the outside world things may look seamless but mom milestones are never earned without a little anxiety, sweat, and sometimes even tears. Thank you to @harlemfinearts and @creolefoodfest- your invitation pushed me to achieve my biggest mom milestone as a mom of two yet. If you are navigating motherhood and trying to find your balance, you are not alone. I’m sharing the honest moments, not just the beautiful ones, along with realistic tips for balancing motherhood, work, cooking, and creating meaningful moments around the table. If that sounds like the corner of the internet you’ve been looking for, I’d love to have you here šŸ’• by @chefleen

It’s Fridayyyy and time for a summer sip with my tiny sous ā˜€ļøšŸ„„ā¤ļøWhat you need✨ Shaved or crushed ice 🄄 Coconut smoothie🄭 Guava juicešŸ‹ā€šŸŸ© LimeCondensed milk & vanilla That’s it. Sweet and tropical guaranteed to make you feel like you’re on vacation—even if you’re just braving NYC heat. One of my favorite things about cooking with Nola isn’t teaching recipes.
