Happy Thirst-Day, fam! I hope you are all doing well on this hot and sunny weather. We thank God for the sunshine! Now that I’m here, I think we can officially call this meeting to order. Welcome to our daily food meeting, where attendance is compulsory and the only agenda item is: WHAT ARE WE EATING?! So, let’s get straight to business. Our star for today is none other than: Avo and Corn Pasta Rice! We are officially on Day 2 of our avocado meals, and just like I warned you yesterday… we are not playing around! Things are about to go down in this kitchen. I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s meal and that you are ready for today’s one because, trust me, this dish is coming with the same energy. If yesterday had you licking your plate, today might have you questioning why you didn’t make a bigger portion. But enough talking. Before I start making you hungry for no reason, let me show you exactly how to make this deliciousness!
