Sweet Harissa Chicken Wings

Were they spicy (hot)? Yes
Did my children complain? No

Harissa spice mix and agave were a gift from a friend.

The tupperware marinader is from Sonnie.

Ever tried baking plantain?
It's my fave way to prepare a big batch.

All you need is oil, spices, salt and pepper.
The baking time is dependent on how thick or thin you slice the plantain.

Wazee hukumbuka 🤣

Baked some blueberry lemon cinnamon rolls for my family just to remind myself that I still got it.

Not to worry, seeing how I can bring them back.
