[olilumgbalu]

It's nice to see men who aren't afraid to get in the kitchen and know how to cook. One thing though: sweet potatoes are already sweet (hence the name) ...I might have added one tablespoon of brown sugar, if any at all, you can simply roast them and brush them with butter (you can consider adding a pinch of salt or other seasonings to the butter if you wish).

[innocentlife]

I love seeing a blk and white man work together as unity, its power in the connection. You both done a magnificent job on the Holiday dishes of 2023.😋

[ericanelson]

AB and Mr. Make It Happen your yams, macaroni and cheese, greens and dressing look excellent.. Seems like what I’ll be doing for Thanksgiving.

[patriciacovington]

Yes!!! The collab we needed once again!

[mdotschrody]

These were some great looking recipes. I got quite the chuckle from "the kind you cook with not the kind that cook you" line. 😂

[cecilnewson]

For stuffing I buy extra necks and put them along with the neck from the turkey and put it on a low boil in salty water for 8-10 hours, then take the necks out and take the meat off the necks. This is some of the richest and tastiest turkey meat you'll ever eat. When making the stuffing, use the turkey stock you just made to moisten the stuffing and cut up (but don't dice) the turkey neck meat and put it in the stuffing along with celery and crushed walnuts and onions.

I love watching two of my favorite chefs

[MauriceCooper-tpxv]

These happen to be my favorite holiday side dishes all day, every day. Happy Holidays!

[kaykepop]

😅 Growing up in the South, I appreciate a big pot of greens! Especially with some cornbread on the side😋. I sauté the stems and add them in before cooking my greens. Helps with making sure they're cooked all the way when it's time to serve without over cooking your greens.
