I also cook 🧑🏿‍🍳

2025/9/10 Edited to

... Read moreCooking family meals that bring everyone together is truly rewarding. One classic combination that never fails to satisfy is pot roast paired with green beans, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread—a hearty, comforting meal perfect for any day of the week. When choosing green beans, fresh or frozen selections like those from Hanover or Del Monte offer great taste and nutrition. Sautéing green beans with a bit of garlic and butter can enhance their natural flavor, or steaming them lightly keeps their vibrant green color and crunch. Macaroni and cheese, a beloved side dish, can be made extra creamy with a blend of cheeses such as cheddar and mozzarella, and baking it with a breadcrumb topping adds a delightful texture. For the pot roast, selecting a quality chuck roast from trusted sources ensures tenderness and rich flavor after slow cooking. Braising the roast in a flavorful broth with herbs and vegetables creates a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Don't forget classic Southern-style cornbread, which adds a slight sweetness and crumbly texture that complements the savory dishes perfectly. Preparing these meals not only provides nourishment but also creates an opportunity to bond with family and enjoy homemade comfort food. Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or a cozy weekday dinner, these dishes bring warmth, taste, and a sense of home to the table.

Salmon is essential in my diet, and when I say “diet” I just mean the meals I eat, not a literal diet. I gym 6x per week and have a high protein diet, and salmon is high in protein so it’s perfect. I believe there are 2 types of salmons: one with high grams of fat and another one with less gr
