<p id=”par-1_107″>Food content creators have been working in overdrive over the past several weeks to prepare for Thanksgiving. If you’re on social media, your algorithm might have served you videos of chefs cooking up both <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/sunny-andersons-4-ingredient-pulled-pork-features-peanut-butter-dismay-some-reviewers.html/”>savory and sweet dishes.</a> Those recipes could easily find their way onto your dining room table. When they are done creating, they have to eat, too, though. Have you ever wondered what dishes they enjoy the most when they are ready to turn off the camera and indulge in the food they’ve cooked? TikTok creator and cookbook author Davon Moseley recently told us exactly which holiday side dish gets special attention from him.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-davon-moseley-has-a-thanksgiving-side-dish-he-likes-better-than-the-rest”>Davon Moseley has a Thanksgiving side dish he likes better than the rest</h2>
<p id=”par-2_57″>On TikTok, Davon Moseley is known as <a href=”https://www.tiktok.com/@royaleeats”>Royale Eats.</a> His recipe for Honey Garlic Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs has been viewed 40 million times. A video featuring his Sausage Fajita Pasta recipe has been viewed almost as much. The food content creator brings big flavors to relatively simple recipes, and he’s built an extensive fanbase around that.</p>

Preheat oven to 400F 2. For dry ingredients, in a large mixing bowl combine sift in the flour. Then, add in Cornmeal, Sugar, Baking Powder, and Salt. Whisk all ingredients together 3. For wet ingredients, in a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Then combine and mix with Buttermilk, melted & cooled Butter, and Sour Cream. 4. Add wet ingredients mixture to dry bowl and fold together until just combined. Be sure to not over mix. Let Batter rest for about 10-15 minutes. 5. For Honey Butter, combine softened butter and honey in a small bowl. Mix together well. 6. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin baking tray with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each muffin cup with about ¼ cup of the batter (about 65g). Once all of the batter is in each muffin cup, lightly tap the bottom of the tray against a counter surface a few times to ensure the batter is even. 7. Bake for about 11-13 minutes. Muffins should be golden brown in color. To test to see if the muffins are done, you can place a toothpick through the center of one, if it comes out clean the muffins are done baking. 8. Once muffins are done baking, immediately brush Honey Butter over each muffin and allow the muffins to cool down for at least 5 minutes before serving.</p> <a rel=”noopener” target=”_blank” title=”♬ original sound – Royale Eats” href=”https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7575272465362848525?refer=embed”>♬ original sound – Royale Eats</a> </section> </blockquote> <script async src=”https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js”></script>

Tiktok Star Tini Younger Announces Her Pregnancy With Cooking Video </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-3_81″>In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, he’s published a few videos that viewers could potentially use for their holiday dinners. When it all comes down to it, he has a favorite side dish. It is one he hasn’t mentioned on TikTok in recent days. We sat down and chatted with Davon Moseley last month ahead of the release of his cookbook. During our chat, he shared a lot about his food philosophy. He also revealed his favorite holiday side dish.</p>
<p id=”par-4_63″>Every holiday season, Moseley looks forward to candied yams. He said, “ I don’t know why, I could just eat a bowl of just that.” Upon further introspection, he admitted that the cinnamon-and-sugar combination is probably what draws him to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/dolly-partons-favorite-southern-recipes-true-classics.html/”>the classic southern side dish</a>. The holiday season also gives him an excuse to indulge in the ultra-sweet dish without feeling any guilt.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-tiktok-chef-has-a-holiday-cooking-tip-too”>The TikTok chef has a holiday cooking tip, too</h2>
<p id=”par-5_86″>While Moseley is pretty confident in the kitchen, whether he is cooking on an average Tuesday or during a high-pressure holiday, he has a tip for cooks who might be feeling a bit overwhelmed. The chef said he likes to focus on the energy he brings to a kitchen session. He said that his family members always told him that if you don’t actually want to make a specific dish, you shouldn’t make it. Moseley explained that he believes energy is carried over in the food.</p>

<p id=”par-6_59″>For less confident cooks, focusing on dishes that they are confident in making or really want to try out might make the entire process a bit smoother. Moseley insists that, for him, wanting to put together a particular recipe is half the battle. Once he’s committed to making it and excited about the process, everything else falls into place.</p>
<p id=”par-7_39″>Davon Moseley shares more tips and tricks for turning ordinary recipes into extraordinary dishes that feed the soul in his cookbook, <em>Let’s Get Into It</em>. The cookbook, released earlier this month, offers more than 100 recipes for novice cooks.</p>
