Now that my sons are older and get to go on social media, it amazes me what they choose to watch. You might be thinking questionable things but it’s actually the complete opposite. They cook with me and they know we can cook anything together so they will often send me recipes they want to make with me. Jacob recently sent me this Hot Honey Fried Chicken paired with a cheesy baked mac and cheese from TikTok that was to die for. I might have made way too many chicken tenders but it made for an awesome amount of leftovers.
