#ad If you know me, then you know that eating my favorite Southern meals makes me the most excited. Growing up, I remember my grandmother, aunts, and uncles being in the kitchen for hours whipping together some of the best meals that I can remember. 😬

But now, I’m so glad that I can get a taste of my childhood best memories in an easy, quick way—thanks to my Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid. This Southern meal is one of my faves——Crispy Buffalo wings, creamy mashed potatoes, with a side of cornbread + roasted broccolini.

No more switching lids! The Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid combines the best of smart pressure cooking with air frying, using a single lid for all cooking.

I was able to whip together the wings and mashed potatoes in just 30-35 minutes, using both the air fryer for the best crispiness and the Pressure Cook function for the most tender potatoes—which make for the creamiest when mashed.

All in all——this @instantpotofficial Duo Crisp has whisper quiet Technology – with the quietest steam release and ‘OK to open lid’ message that makes everything a breeze! Available @Target and on sale for $199.99 until 6/4‼️

Thanks SO MUCH for 50k! 🎉🎉🎉

Words can’t describe how much your consistent love, support, + engagement on the work that I put in daily means to me.

For awhile I felt stuck, uninspired because of the pressures of blogging, and a host of daunting emotions due to not always doing things the conventional way. BUT as I re-centered myself last month and got back to my “why”, I noticed a shift. Thank you for that shift.

Each and every one of you are why I do what I do. Thanks for rocking with me. Xx 💋

That’s all. God is good.

Hey, Hi, Hiya ya’ll! 😬 I have a ton of NEW fa

Hey, Hi, Hiya ya’ll! 😬 I have a ton of NEW faces and so I wanted to introduce myself and THANK YOU SO MUCH for choosing to follow me along this food journey! ✌🏾 My name is Shanika and I’m the one behind all of the deliciousness behind Orchids + Sweet Tea! 🍸

I create all of the recipes that you see, style everything for the complete perfect shot 📸, while my Husband shoots it with our camera + does all edits—-he’s the “techy” one in our family. I know—-we’re a dynamic duo! 💋

I was born/raised as a Southerner (Florida to be exact🌴), but I currently live in Brooklyn (the Empire State of Mind 🗽), and MOST of my family is Jamaican (about 90% 🇯🇲). I’m one big melting pot of polarizing cultures/customs.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

🍍I’m a boy mom to both a 6-year old and pup. It’s actually fun being the only girl in the house. 🤣

🍍The very first thing that I learned to master in High School was cheesecake (not entirely from scratch—-thank goodness for that @keebler crust). 😬

🍍My biggest pet peeve is seeing Jerk chicken recipes with raisins. Sorry——it doesn’t belong there FYI. 👀😩😩

🍍I’m not vegan, despite popular belief. However, I do eat vegan + plant-based a lot more than not. I rarely eat red meats whenever I do eat meat.

🍍When I’m not doing anything food related, I’m very much into Interior Design. 👩🏾‍🎨

🍍My dream places to visit are Italy + Paris. I’m dying to see all the fashion, scenery, and the food. 🍝

🍍Growing up, my nickname was “chicken wing” because I was both skinny and also because I’m obsessed with chicken wings. It’s just innate.🤣🤣🤣

🍍Pasta, pizza, sandwiches of any form, and chicken are like my kryptonite. I can’t help it.🥸

🍍I have to listen to a FULL PLAYLIST while cooking. It creates a total vibe. That’s the secret!👌🏾

🍍I’m more of a movie lover than series lover. Give me that Psychological thriller, Romance, or Action any day. 🙌🏾

🍍I’m still not the biggest fan of vegan meats. Sorry. I’d rather use other ingredients to create a meat-like feel. 🤷🏾‍♀️
