Dear Struggle Cooks, I have been introduced to roasting vegetables to make Vegetable Medley as I call it in my house and I can't stop. This was last week's Medley with asparagus, cherry tomatoes, green beans, sausage and broccoli BEFORE I attempted to season it with salt, pepper, garlic and Italian seasoning. My family is really loving these and I can change up the veggies and...it looks like I know what I'm doing🤷🏾‍♀️

This is Us! This Saturday, we celebrated our Granny Dora's 84th Birthday. Our Granny's house has always been a place to be. I have extremely fond memories from living there when I was younger, staying there for Summers to play with my cousins and eating THE BEST greens, cornbread and pancakes I've ever tasted. Dora Lee's lineage is love and support as she birthed 5 kids, has 12 grandkids and 16 great grandchildren. The Roberts-Gobert Clan rolls deep. I love us! #thisisus

So, here's the tea... I realize that I put out my first IGTV last week announcing the inaugural @strugglecooksunite event, Struggle Cooks in the Flesh. In my nervousness to put the video out from being asked every day by @nuepps + @imagesbypapillon on when I'm I going to announce it...I said zero information about the true details of the event. So here it goes 🤗
Saturday, March 7th from 11am to 2pm, I will be hosting an inaugural (First of MANY to come for those unfamiliar; no need to say annual when it is the first ever event. This is hilarious to @audriwrites + @family_twin1 ) This Cooking Class will be led by Chef Lena Trang for the entree portion and I will show you some easy sweets + treats. This will be an intimate event for only 10 Struggle Cooks. There are only 7 tickets left to attend this event. Tickets are $75 and includes your meal, sweets, a goodie bag and a one-on-one opportunity with a real live Chef. This is an event that you don't want to miss!

In full Mommie mode today. Apparently, the State doesn't like when you miss the 15 and 18 month checkups with the doctor because they send notices in the mail. So Drew has a Doctor's appointment for some shots (Joy) 🥴This full-time working has me off my home game a little more than I would like.
.
Clark has a dental appointment and now so does Drew 😩 I know he is going to give them the full Drew and not act right. *I'm writing this at the Dentist Office.
.
And Clark doesn't have something white on his face, the mirror is just dirty 🤷🏾‍♀️

Ya Girl has taught herself how to make chocolate covered pretzel rods! The best part is that it's super easy and cheap. I got the pretzel rods from @heb for about $2 and I bought the candy melts from @hobbylobby for $1.99 each (make sure you google the Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon before you check out). My family doesn't like the sticks totally dipped in chocolate, so I drizzled the candy melts on the pretzels with squirt bottles that I got from Walmart. A quick and easy treat 😝

Yup, I just upgraded this @realduncanhines Coconut Supreme cake to a Pina Colada cake with FRESH whipped cream icing mixed by ME! I'm so proud. When I made macaroons over the Christmas break, and Mark saw that buttercream icing was literally butter and powdered sugar...He said, don't put that icing on my birthday cake (with a stank face) and requested whipped cream icing.

Binge watching Kids Baking Championships for the last couple of days helped me to realize that I had plenty of piping tips that I've never tried. And boom, flower like decor on top of the cake...😝 I'm taking cake orders.
