    Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are using @cabotcheese seriously sharp cheddar to make these bolitas de yuca for your superbowl turn up! A mouthwatering Dominican appetizer made with my favorite root vegetable, these bolitas feed a crowd and pair perfectly with Cabot cheddar, which is naturally aged and 100% lactose free. See below for the full recipe! #cabotcreamery  Ingredients  🧀 1 pound yuca, peeled and chopped into small chunks  Salt 🧀1 tablespoon butter  🧀1/2 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped  🧀1/4 teaspoon of garlic 🧀1/4 teaspoon of paprika  🧀4 ounces of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, cut into small 1/2” chunks  Directions: 🧀Preheat the oven to 450F. 🧀Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil and add the yuca. Boil for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain the yuca, remove all of the fibrous stems and add to a medium sized bowl.  🧀Mash the yuca well with butter, jalapeño and spices until completely smooth. Adjust for salt and set aside until cooled.  🧀Grab about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the yuca mix, put the cheddar cheese in the center and roll it up into a ball. Repeat for the remaining yuca and cheese.  🧀Add the yuca balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet OR air fryer and spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes (or air fry for 10-12 minutes) until crispy and browned on the outside. Enjoy on their own or with your favorite sauce!  TIPS:  👉🏽If the balls are extra sticky, wash and dry your hands throughout the rolling process - this will help.  👉🏽If your yuca mash is bulky, add a little bit of water while mashing to make it smoother.
    Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people w Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people when we see them versus commenting on their bodies. It’s just not it. Over the holidays, I had to check several family members about this. For many including myself, it’s awkward, uncomfortable and even if well-intentioned, it can be triggering for people. And you just never know what’s going on (maybe they’re sick, maybe they’re on medication, maybe they’re pregnant and don’t want you in their business) What are some other ones you’ve been told? The latest on my roster has been “damn that ass is fat” 🤣 (can’t make this up)
    NEW MONTH, NEW SERIES. This time we’re talking a NEW MONTH, NEW SERIES. This time we’re talking about relationships. Do you ever wonder what science has to say about maintaining a fulfilling long-term relationship? Today on the podcast, we interviewed acclaimed relationship scientist, #tytashiro. His book, The Science of Happily Ever After, shows how our decision-making abilities falter when choosing mates and how insights from social science can help us make smarter decisions. You don’t want to miss an episode of our dating and relationships series! We are going to speak to everyone from @tenneshawood the founder of the first ever matchmaking firm dedicated to black professionals, to @loganury the author of How Not to Die Alone & director of relationship science at the dating app Hinge. And of course we can’t talk about relationships without talking about divorce, so we will interview @chautethompson, a counselor who helps couples and families grow healthier relationships. What we cover: What “happily ever after” really means Why we only get 3 wishes for an idea partner Why most people wish for the wrong things Why the seeds of marital conflict can be traced back to your first dates How to improve the quality of your existing relationship Why is it so hard to date these days? What is wrong with online dating? What is the best age to get married? What is the worst age to get married? How to swipe smarter on dating apps. What traits make a great life partner?
