 What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another video. It's your girl Janice. If you guys are new to the channel, make sure you hit that subscribe button and join the family. So first and foremost, we are back from Miami. We are home. We've been traveling for the past two weeks. It's been very hectic and we haven't had a good home-cooked meal in a while. Isaiah doesn't know I'm making this video because right now he's outside. He's washing my car. Isaiah always does little things like that and I don't even have to ask him for it. He just goes and he does it and honestly like it's still his birthday and we haven't, well it's not his birthday. His birthday passed already but I feel like we haven't had like an intimate moment. We haven't had any you know just like time to just us. So today's our first day back from Miami and I decided that I'm just gonna make him a yummy dinner. It's not gonna be extra with like candle lights and all that stuff but I think it'll be a great time to just like show you guys me making him a special meal and I'm just gonna show you what I have on the table and what I'm about to make. So I'm about to make some baked mac and cheese. It's gonna be my first time making baked mac and cheese. I got a recipe on TikTok and my mom also makes the best baked mac and cheese. I kind of took some notes and hopefully it comes out good and then I also have some crab legs. Now I make pretty good crab legs I would say and I make them in the oven instead of boiling them and I used to make this years ago for my family and I just realized Isaiah was like you've never made me crab legs before and I'm like what? So I ordered all this stuff and let me show you guys what I got and yeah we're about to get cooking. I'm about to chef it up. It's been a minute and I'm excited. All right so this is what I've got. I've got some gluten-free elbows because I can't have regular pasta but Isaiah does like this brand of gluten-free so it works out. Some old bay seasoning, some Cajun seasoning. I have some chicken broth because I'm going to boil the noodles in it so it has some flavor. Heavy whipping cream. Now I know people say to shred your own cheese but I don't have a cheese grater so I just bought all these different kinds. I got triple cheddar blend mozzarella sharp cheddar and then triple cheddar again. I don't know which one to use. This one's like a little thicker and this one's thinner so I was like the more cheese the better. I got this Philadelphia cream cheese and then this is the crab legs that I got. I got like two pounds. We usually have a pound each and then obviously I got four aluminum foil things so I can put the baked mac and cheese and the crab legs in here and then I also got some cranberry and Sprite. Now this weekend in Miami I don't know what happened. We had some cranberry and Sprite for the liquor that we were drinking and I don't drink like that so I put these two together for a mocktail and it was a one so I'm gonna make us some mocktails today because honestly I honestly Isaiah has done enough drinking this weekend so let's go ahead and chef it up and hopefully I'm praying oh I zoomed in a little bit too much there like I think oops oh hopefully the meal comes out 10 out of 10 so let's go ahead and prepare all of this. First things first I went ahead and I put this chicken broth in here. I don't think that it's enough to feel like to the top where it needs to be so I'm gonna add some water at least it's gonna have a little bit more flavor than if it were 100% water and I'm gonna add a little bit of salt so let's go ahead and do that right now. All right now we're just gonna let it boil. So I found this bigger pan underneath in my gavetas so I'm gonna go ahead and put the crab legs in here so they're spread out evenly and I don't have to use more than one pan and then Isaiah's grandfather left this. He used the penile if you don't know peniles it's a pig and they usually make it for like Thanksgiving and stuff but he made it for my aunt's wedding and he left this pan in here and I think it's a lot deeper than this. Do you see the difference? So I'm gonna go ahead and put the mac and cheese in here and I just feel like it's gonna come out better anyways in here so I could layer more of it and more cheese and stuff like that you know what I'm saying? So yeah I'm gonna go ahead and put it in here um and this is still boiling it hasn't gotten to like a boiling point yet so I'm still waiting it's some smoke coming up a little bit so it should get there soon but I'm just so excited I just want to get in the groove so I think I'm gonna start prepping the crab legs marinating them and just letting them sit until I put this in the oven and they bake at the same time. Well I'm about to make the garlic butter seasoning for the crab legs so here I have um some onion powder I have some garlic powder I also have some minced garlic I've got two kinds of butter I have this and a stick of butter I have obey and Cajun seasoning and then salt pepper and some fresh parsley I'm gonna go ahead and put everything in this bowl and then we're gonna pour it on top of the crab legs and then I'm gonna also show you guys me seasoning the crab legs itself and you're gonna see how fire this comes out so let's go ahead and make this garlic butter. All right here I go I'm about to season that actual crab legs so starting off salt and pepper put some salt don't forget to season like in here too because that is crucial because that also needs some flavor because I don't know about y'all but me and Isaiah we eat that part and I'm just not putting too too much seasoning on here because we don't want it to be too salty because remember I put some seasoning into the butter so yeah let's do some garlic powder y'all is about to be busting I'm gonna turn them around to get some seasoning back here uh-huh and I already did a good rinsing cleaned it up on camera on the off camera so don't worry about that y'all onion powder oof degeneracy seasonings please some obey I can't wait to put some obey I'm not putting too much occasion because that's gonna be spoffing crucial key ingredient right here obey needs to come out a little bit more they're not gonna lie I'm probably gonna open it all right that was probably too much but all right putting some like that they already look so good sometimes people just put obey on crab legs which is crazy to me that oh my goodness I am like pouring way too much I mean it's all gonna blend in don't worry it's gonna blend it's gonna be fine I'm gonna rub it in and stuff so yeah some people just put all day and I think that's actually crazy because I wouldn't just put all day on crab legs like why would you do that and then I'm also gonna drizzle some lemons on there and then leave it in there so when I cook it you get some of that lemony flavor y'all this is crazy I might have to make another batch because I want it to be buttered up don't want it to be dry or nothing so I'm about to make some more butter and then I'm gonna mix it up mix it up so I'm gonna show you guys the finished result when I'm done all right y'all so I ended up doing this I just scooped a whole bunch of butter and I left it on there so that way once it goes in and it bakes it's just gonna melt all over so yeah I'm about to put some lemons on it and then we're gonna put it in the oven about to zoom y'all in you see this look at that mm-hmm mama did that now she about to go in the oven for 20 minutes on a 400 degrees and we are gonna go ham so now I'm about to move on to the noodles to the nice yummy mac and cheese all right so the noodles are done someone's to season them with some salt and pepper not a lot of salt comes out of this thing so I'm like vigorously just just doing to do that some pepper and I already started the mixture I put some heavy whipping cream in here and I'm about to put like the cream cheese I honestly forgot I used all the butter for the crab legs so I took a little bit of a spoon of the butter and I put it in here maybe it'll give it a little extra flavor who knows but yeah I'm about to um put some cream cheese in there make it a little thick I'm kind of eyeballing the amount of heavy whipping cream to put so I literally put the whole gallon or not a gallon it's like a quart or something so I put the whole quart but yeah now I'm about to put some cream cheese so let me open this up honestly I've been recording for you guys and snapchat and I think that's what's so hard about like cooking and like like also making content is that you have to just like record and remember so much things like for me when I cook I'm like really concentrated and it's hard for me to be like all over the place with stuff hopefully I'm getting I'm giving you guys a content that you need um and I'm trying to show you guys on snap too so because I'm like trying to be more active on snapchat so if you're not following on snapchat I'd really appreciate it if you do because I'm literally posting daily like everything that I'm doing on social media I am I mean off of social media like I'm literally posting on snapchat nowhere else so go ahead and follow me on that I got the cream cheese in all right y'all so unfortunately my camera died but all I did was I mixed all the cheeses and I started to mix it like this and look how yummy this looks this is like super thick look at the texture like hold on look at that oh so delicious and then I'm gonna put it in here with the noodles and then I just kept a little bit of mozzarella and I kept this one out because it's a little bit thicker so I'm gonna layer it with this and I also have this one to start layering and this is a mess that I make like when I'm doing a million things at once I literally cannot like concentrate but yeah let me pour this into there I'm gonna need two hands for this so I'm gonna show you guys that aftermath when it's done all right so I'm gonna spread it around in here and then I'm gonna flatten it out and then I'm gonna use um some cheese to like layer it and then put it in the oven I'm putting hello cheese because the more the better right babe mm-hmm Isaiah just came inside because I needed some help recording since the camera died put some of this and this one and then I'm about to layer another um part on top of putting this on top and then we're gonna put it in the oven oh excited so this is how the mac and cheese is looking put a lot of cheese some seasonings so I hope it comes out five year about to put this in the oven my yummy crab legs in the oven as well here I go that looks awesome maybe I should boil it I think I'm gonna put it back in and boil it so the skin is like the skin yeah like the cheese at the top yeah I'm gonna boil it but I'm gonna take the crab legs out first to them I want to borrow the crab leg um that looks good oh my gosh oh my gosh how's it looking babe how's it look it's here delicious delicious and then we can pour the because I didn't squeeze the lemons all the way out so that way when we're eating it we can pour like the lemon juice on it yeah so I'm gonna go ahead and put this back in and we'll broil it until the top gets a little crispy looking so the skin gets crispy the cheese at the top so it gets crispy and then we're gonna go hang on here is the final results this is my mac and cheese I broiled it for a little bit so the top gets crispy and here are the crab legs all right it is time to go in I'm hurry up
