вЂњBut if youвЂ™re not on a diet, feel free to stop by for some of it.вЂќ вЂњThis segment of the interview just ainвЂ™t for you,вЂќ Roberts said. She said itвЂ™s not a meal you eat if youвЂ™re on a diet. вЂњYou eat something good, it better touches your soul.вЂќ вЂњSoul food means that youвЂ™re about to eat some food that makes you feel fantastic,вЂќ she said. She said she wishes she could make soul food every day, because soul food - like her momвЂ™s mac and cheese recipe - is the type of food that brings people together. вЂњEverybody knows that my house is the food house,вЂќ she said. Now Roberts is an adult, sheвЂ™s taken on the role of a cook and she regularly feeds her best friends - or her вЂњLogan family.вЂќ вЂњYou could come home from school knowing there is a hot plate of food waiting for you.вЂќ Roberts, who was born in the Caribbean and grew up in New York, learned about the recipe from her mom, who learned it from her mom.

She was making a special soul food mac and cheese recipe which was featured at USUвЂ™s Black Student UnionвЂ™s Soul Food Dinner. вЂњThese girls are my best friends theyвЂ™re my family,вЂќ said Jeunee Roberts, a graduate student, as she stirred together a thick cheese mix and noodles. A flag bearing the Yik Yak symbol hung on the wall next to a photo of five friends smiling at the camera. The smell of homemade mac and cheese filled the air.
