When it comes to roasting a whole chicken, it’s the spatchcock way for me! By butterflying the chicken, you cut your cook time in half and allow for all parts of the poultry to cook evenly. Follow the link in bio for my Blackened Spatchcock Chicken recipe & have a Happy Humpday!

Hey y’all, don’t mind me, just reminiscing about my creole crab deviled eggs I made for Easter Sunday. Link in bio for the recipe, have great day!

Steak can be very intimidating but I’ve found the best way to cook them to perfect temp!

This past Saturday, I was invited to prepare a private soul food dinner for five-time Emmy award nominated actor Tituss Burgess @instatituss, and his friends & family at his New Jersey home. It was an experience of a lifetime that I’ll never forget. To be completely in my element cooking MY FOOD MY WAY at this caliber was a dream. It was truly a family affair, as it was my long time bro from undergrad, @mattissuperman , who called me in for the job, and my sis from undergrad @amberjahrahsee who willingly assisted me as my sous chef - I couldn’t have done it without her, and I’m thankful for her heart and positive energy. This was a major milestone for Creole for the Soul, and I look forward to seeing what happens next (in my Drake voice)!

Another quick healthy meal you can make between countless Zoom meetings! Combining Cajun and Asian flavors, these large shrimp/prawns are spicy with hints of sweetness and herbs! If you like trying different vegetables, do like me and complete this dish with with some Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli)! Swipe for the recipe or follow link in bio - Happy Humpday, y’all!

There was no better way to enter into the Spring Equinox than with an at-home crawfish boil! With just 2 cups of @tonychacheres Supreme crab boil, 6 lemons, 2 heads of garlic, and 34 cups of water, 8lbs of crawfish came out perfect! We added in some Cajun smoked sausage too because, why not?! Happy Spring and Happy Sunday, folks!
