Cheers, It’s Friday.

You've made it! Take a step back and breathe in that sweet outside air. Don’t be alarmed if it’s smokey, it’s probably just these 🔥🔥🔥 recipes.

First thing’s first, THANK YOU. Thank you for supporting me and this idea. Thank you for being a founding pillar of this community. Seeing your engagement (and recipes) never fails to bring a smile to my face:)

Let's eat! 

Our first recipe comes from Pilar Alvarez. These Spring Rolls are healthy, simple, and damn tasty. There’s no time of day where this won’t hit the spot, especially with that peanut sauce. 

Sushi in a bowl?

There certainly is an art to fishing. If there are 2 things I’ve learned over my 21 years, it’s that I am no artist, and it’s way easier to buy fish at the grocery store than to catch it yourself. It’s no wonder the group has been filled with epic poke bowls. This recipe comes from Priscilla Hwang (top right) and includes Reya Andrews' rendition (bottom left.) ***note: we love seeing peoples remakes in the Facebook group!!

And of course, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. You could liken this award to Michelin stars, but objectively speaking, it’s something much more prestigious. Think, bigger. Like the Grammys or Oscars but for food. (Are these actually more prestigious than Michelin stars? Idk, but I’ve certainly never had a Michelin Star watch party with my family before.)  

The Supreme Chef of The Land Award goes to Eva Larsen for this Thicccc Chewy Mushy Choco Chippo Cookie. 

I would argue that this recipe is just as healthy as the first two, because it contains nutrients for your soul. Give yourself the reward you deserve after another week zooming by. (Ps, don’t overcook them like me. Preserve the chewyness!!)

Buen provecho,

Conrad
