Happy Friday. Itโs the first weekend of June, which means itโs basically officially summer.
I still canโt cook a whole lot because my unlucky self got a dry socket after my wisdom tooth removal, so Iโm still on soft food. Iโm finally starting to recover, which is almost a shame because Iโve really been embracing my inner Marlon Brando.
I still sound like I have cotton balls in my mouth, but hopefully, Iโll feel 100% next week. I did have a brief moment where I was worried all of this would be permanent, and my stint as a recipe blogger would be over. My oral surgeon assured me that wasnโt the case and that I could stop stressing. Whew!
In other news:
I submitted my upcoming vegan cookbook to a contest! Iโve never done a contest before, but I went for it since the opportunity presented itself! If you havenโt pre-ordered it, you can order it here!
I poured my whole heart into this one, and I canโt wait to see how it does in the contest. Wish me luck!
More updates:
Donโt forget: Juneโs meal plan dropped! It includes exclusive coupon codes for two of my favorite brands! Itโs also chock full of really, really good recipes that you wonโt find on my website or my social media. You can access the meal plan by clicking the button below.
