Slow Cooker Korean Style Pot Roast w/ Kimchi
HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is a new favorite recipe that I need everyone to make ASAP. The Modern Proper gives various different ways to make this dish but I say the best route is LOW and SLOW. This is an easy recipe to prep in the morning and forget until dinner time. I served mine with kimchi from a local Asian market, some cucumbers for extra crunch, and some white rice. I shared some with my mom and her friend & still had more to pack lunches for the week. What’s great about this dish is it’s all the deliciousness of a pot roast without the heaviness. Pat the beef dry and season with...…HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is a new favorite recipe that I need everyone to make ASAP.

Molly Baz’s Cold & Crunchy Green Beans with Garlic Pistachio Vinaigrette
I hope everyone is winding down from a wonderful thanksgiving. I spent the day cooking a feast with my mom and brother and it was absolutely worth it. My brother brought along these green beans as a cold side and OMG were they exactly what we needed. They are snappy and garlicky and absolutely delicious. The recipe comes from Molly Baz’s cookbook. Bring 4 quarts of water + 1 1/2 cups salt to a boil (its a lot of salt Molly knows, but trust her okay) Stir the beans into the boiling water and cook until tender, about 5-6 minutes. While the beans are cooking fill a large bowl with ice and...…I hope everyone is winding down from a wonderful thanksgiving.

Snoop Dog’s ‘Mack & Cheese’
I first off want to clarify that this is Snoop Dog’s WIFE’s, Shante Broadus’s, mac and cheese recipe. I feel that is important to point out because she deserves all the credit here. The original recipe calls for 5 cups of extra sharp cheddar. Instead, I did half with Colby-jack but you do not have to! I bought fall-shaped noodles from ALDI so I was incredibly excited to make this. I have nothing more to say about this recipe other than you need to make it and the nutmeg is game-changing. Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly butter a 9×13 in baking dish. Bring a large pot of water, heavily...…I first off want to clarify that this is Snoop Dog’s WIFE’s, Shante Broadus’s, mac and cheese recipe.

“It’s Fun to Eat at the Rye-MCA” Burger
Another day another Bob’s Burger. This one here is simple, but my goodness is it delicious. The rye bread is a replacement for a bun and you would think it doesn’t make a difference, but it absolutely does! If you’re not a horseradish person I would say to you, think again! The cheese milds out the horseradish while also making the mustard POP! Start with cooking the onions. Melt the butter in a wide frying pan over MED-LOW heat. Add in the sliced onion and stir to coat. Cook over LOW heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and sticky golden brown, about 20-30 min. Make the...…Another day another Bob’s Burger.
