Crack Green Beans

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Crack Green Beans.

When a recipe has the word crack in the name, you already know it will be delicious and addictive and might become a favorite. Something you can’t stop eating. Crack green beans are no exception. Easy prep. Like, beyond easy. Tasty AF! I have only met a green bean I didn't like if it was mush. Even if you don't like green beans, I dare you not to love them. I dare you to make these and not love them. 

Let Mama Miche make your kitchen magic. MMMK, Let's eat!

Smoked Turkey Legs

This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Smoked Turkey Leg

I love family traditions, and one of my love languages is food, so the holiday food traditions warm the cockles of my heart. BUT.  Turkey doesn't rock my world, and the only time we stuffed & roasted a turkey was for the Thanksgiving feast. I always preferred the sandwiches and Turkey a la King leftovers to the bird served at dinner. I make a moist, never-dry, and tasty roast turkey; however, if you want an orgasmic flavor, smoke and serve the most popular part: the leg! It's one of the quickest meats you can smoke on a smoker, and it's fantastic. Try this easy recipe. It's great any time, including Thanksgiving.

Stuffed Acorn Squash

I don't make this enough, and I have no excuse or reason why I don't make this more often. I love stuffing vegetables with yummy fillings. It looks lovely, and it tastes divine. This stuffing is easy to make while the acorn squash cooks, and honestly, when these ingredients combine, your taste buds and your belly will be like, “Damn! You love me! You really love me.”

Green Bean Almondine

This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: Green Bean Almondine (with crispy shallots)

Green beans. I don't know very many people, if any, that don't like green beans. I know many people who don't like broccoli, cauliflower, or squash but most like green beans. They are quite versatile vegetables, with so many ways to prepare them that are delicious and nutritious. This recipe is one of my favorites!

Try it, and let Mama Miche make your kitchen magic!

Ya Ya’s Sweet Potato Casserole

This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: YaYa’s Sweet potato casserole

I don't know about anyone else, but holiday meals make me very nostalgic. Thanksgiving has always been a favorite of mine. Why? It's all my Momster’s fault. She made amazing Thanksgiving feasts. Totally a feast! Not your run of the mill dinner. And prepping for the Big Bird day are my earliest memories of helping her in the kitchen. She gave me big responsibilities. At least, that's how it felt. I made a chopped salad every year. That was my job. I assisted with everything but the salad was all mine to make. I took great pride in making it colorful and delicious.

My favorite side that was a staple at every Thanksgiving spread my Mom hosted was her sweet potato casserole. My daughter requested it so it was time to teach her to make it. There's a new chef in the house! Helping Mama Miche make your kitchen magic.
