Yo Mama | Seafood Gumbo

We have dairy farm friends from Upstate New York who've never had gumbo before. So I made it! I tried not to put anything strange in it, as to not scare them. I've been eating gumbo my entire life and sometimes the things my mom puts in there still scare me. As a result, I left out the okra, oysters, chicken hearts, and alligator boudin this time around. If you like those little accoutrements though, feel free to add them to the recipe.

Yo Mama | Macaroni & Cheese

I love my mom and grandma's macaroni and cheese, and most everyone I know does too. In high school, I once tried to make myself and it came out horrible! I've never made it again for fear of what would come out of the oven. I figured it's time to try again. However, this time I did it under my mother's supervision. I apologize for my worse-than-usual picture quality, I only had my camera phone when I was in LA. It may not look like here, but you'll want to make a pan of it everyday if you can.
