Well hello lovelies! Yesterday on the Tamron Hall Show, Singer, actress, author, entrepreneur, and living legend Patti LaBelle made an appearance on the show! She talked about her career, her bomb recipes and if she uses half and half or evaporated milk in her mac n cheese. She uses half and half you guys lol. She did a cooking demonstration on the show and I was all in because I too, follow most of her scrumptious recipes.
She said the first pie she ever made was an apple pie, not a sweet potato pie like most would imagine. Her mac and cheese is so good and I follow that recipe every time I make it lol. It’s always so cheesy and moist! Check out a video clip inside and I also share the recipe too, have a wonderful Thanksgiving you guys!
