    Food Heaven Cookbook Launch Party

    Cookbook

    Our first ever cookbook launch party! Where do we even begin?! We wanted to put together an event to celebrate this huge accomplishment with friends, family, colleagues, and followers of the blog. And that’s exactly what we did. We danced, laughed, had a few dranks, and exchanged so many warm hugs with you all. The party was everything and more!

    Thank you to everyone who came out and supported by purchasing the cookbook and other Food Heaven goodies. A special shoutout to Hudson Terrace for accommodating us, DJ Taela for blessing us on the 1’s & 2’s, our sponsors, Nubian Heritage, Taza Chocolate, & Davidson’s Organics. Also big ups to the amazing Gezaw, who photographed all the beautiful faces you’re about to see. If you posted photos of the event, make sure to use the #plantpowered28 so we can see!

    But first, if you haven’t copped your copy of the 28-Day Plant-Powered Health Reboot, get yours now. We promise you’ll love it! We literally had a line wrapped around the room with folks buying copies of the book.

    Here are some snapshots from the evening’s festivities:

    Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are Crispy on the outside, oozy on the inside, we are using @cabotcheese seriously sharp cheddar to make these bolitas de yuca for your superbowl turn up! A mouthwatering Dominican appetizer made with my favorite root vegetable, these bolitas feed a crowd and pair perfectly with Cabot cheddar, which is naturally aged and 100% lactose free. See below for the full recipe! #cabotcreamery 

Ingredients 
🧀 1 pound yuca, peeled and chopped into small chunks 
Salt
🧀1 tablespoon butter 
🧀1/2 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped 
🧀1/4 teaspoon of garlic
🧀1/4 teaspoon of paprika 
🧀4 ounces of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, cut into small 1/2” chunks 

Directions:
🧀Preheat the oven to 450F.
🧀Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil and add the yuca. Boil for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain the yuca, remove all of the fibrous stems and add to a medium sized bowl. 
🧀Mash the yuca well with butter, jalapeño and spices until completely smooth. Adjust for salt and set aside until cooled. 
🧀Grab about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the yuca mix, put the cheddar cheese in the center and roll it up into a ball. Repeat for the remaining yuca and cheese. 
🧀Add the yuca balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet OR air fryer and spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes (or air fry for 10-12 minutes) until crispy and browned on the outside. Enjoy on their own or with your favorite sauce! 

TIPS: 
👉🏽If the balls are extra sticky, wash and dry your hands throughout the rolling process - this will help. 
👉🏽If your yuca mash is bulky, add a little bit of water while mashing to make it smoother.
    Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people w Ya’ll, let’s normalize checking in on people when we see them versus commenting on their bodies. It’s just not it. Over the holidays, I had to check several family members about this. For many including myself, it’s awkward, uncomfortable and even if well-intentioned, it can be triggering for people. And you just never know what’s going on (maybe they’re sick, maybe they’re on medication, maybe they’re pregnant and don’t want you in their business)

What are some other ones you’ve been told? The latest on my roster has been “damn that ass is fat” 🤣 (can’t make this up)
    NEW MONTH, NEW SERIES. This time we’re talking a NEW MONTH, NEW SERIES. This time we’re talking about relationships. Do you ever wonder what science has to say about maintaining a fulfilling long-term relationship? Today on the podcast, we interviewed acclaimed relationship scientist, #tytashiro. His book, The Science of Happily Ever After, shows how our decision-making abilities falter when choosing mates and how insights from social science can help us make smarter decisions. 

You don’t want to miss an episode of our dating and relationships series! We are going to speak to everyone from @tenneshawood the founder of the first ever matchmaking firm dedicated to black professionals, to @loganury the author of How Not to Die Alone & director of relationship science at the dating app Hinge. And of course we can’t talk about relationships without talking about divorce, so we will interview @chautethompson, a counselor who helps couples and families grow healthier relationships.
