🥩🧀 MY PHILLY CHEESESTEAK!! 🔥🥖 Living in North Alabama, I have yet to find anything that even remotely resembles a legitimate Philly cheesesteak, so I finally had to take matters into my own hands!! 😂 sounds like a job for my @traegergrills FLATROCK GRIDDLE 🧀 First up, THE CHEESE!! I finally discovered that BJ’s Wholesale carries @coopercheese cheese in their deli section, which, to me, is the second most important component of a proper cheesesteak, right behind the bread!! 🥖 Speaking of bread… I headed to Publix and found some pretty decent hoagie rolls. Are they Liscio’s or Amoroso’s? Absolutely NOT!! But they definitely got the job done!! 🙌 🌶️ Now for my two controversial ingredients… I’ve ALWAYS enjoyed mayonnaise and cherry pepper relish on my cheesesteaks, and I WILL NOT apologize for it!! 😂🔥 If you’ve never tried that combination, you’re seriously missing out!! Look, I’m not saying this is the ONLY way to make a Philly cheesesteak, but it’s MY way, and I’m sticking to it!! 💪 👇 Now let me have it in the comments!! Would you give my version of a Philly cheesesteak a try, or did I lose you at the mayonnaise?! 😂🥩🧀 by @culinarylion

🍫🫘 BLACK BEAN BROWNIES — HEALTHY HACK OR HARD PASS?! 🤔 I have mixed feelings about this one… 😂 On paper, black bean brownies sound like a pretty solid swap. You’re getting some added fiber from the beans, there’s no butter or oil, and I can honestly say — YOU DO NOT TASTE THE BLACK BEANS! 🙌🍫 BUT… the texture was just a little off for me. 😬 Now, that could absolutely be something I did wrong, so all you black bean brownie experts need to get in the comments and tell me your secrets! 👇😂 Did I over-blend? Over-bake? Do they need to chill overnight? Is there an ingredient I’m missing?? Here’s exactly what I did: 🛒 BLACK BEAN BROWNIES 🫘 1 can black beans, rinsed & drained 🍫 1 box brownie mix 🥥 1/2 cup coconut water or tap water 🥚 2 large eggs 🔥 INSTRUCTIONS 1️⃣ Add the drained and rinsed black beans, brownie mix, coconut water, and eggs to a blender. 2️⃣ Blend for about 2 minutes, or until completely smooth. 3️⃣ Pour the batter into a lined 8x8-inch oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly. 4️⃣ Bake according to your brownie mix temperature for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 5️⃣ Let the brownies cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing. 🍫🫘 The flavor? Surprisingly good. 💪 The added fiber and no butter or oil? Definitely a win. 🤔 The texture? I think we can do better! BLACK BEAN BROWNIE PEOPLE — WHAT’S THE SECRET?! 👇👇👇 Drop your tips in the comments because I’m willing to give these another shot! 😂🍫 by @culinarylion
