Shout out to this orange cumin roast chicken which is perhaps one of the easiest chicken recipes that I have ever made. The cumin and red pepper flakes adds tons of warmth. While the honey and orange adds a sweet(ish) – sour(ish) quality that kicks up the flavor.

I am kinda obsessed with Family dinner. My family religiously gets together once per week for dinner. For me it is a reminder of what I have and who I am. I love the idea of making big pots of food and sharing it with the people I bicker with the most. In the most loving way possible.

So last night was our family’s official watch party. It’s kinda a big deal. As is a Jamaican tradition everyone carried a big pot with them. Because when he wins, we celebrate by banging on the pots. I kid you not. It is beyond fun! The kids lost their minds because they do that on the daily.

So we shared food, laughs and celebrated. In a way yesterday was the last time that we would be together again during summer vacation. My baby brother is starting college in a week. I can still remember him learning to walk. I’m already crying. So I enjoyed showering him with kisses.
