I absolutely loveee yuca. In Cartagena, Colombia, I grew up eating it in a super simple form--boiled in salted water. This is so not ~gourmet~ but it's so so good. (because i mean, duh it's a starchy root veggie so it HAS to be good lol) We would eat it with farmer's cheese and 'suero costeño' which is our form of crema. You can make something similar with some sour cream and just add lime and salt!

My grandparents loved eating this at all times of the day and we would it enjoy it the most for dinner just how I mentioned above.

For breakfast, we would eat it with eggs like you are! Its super yummy and with a runny yolk, it's chef's kiss. Although I'm vegan now, I still appreciate the things I grew up eating and love suggesting them to those that still consume animal products. If you're ever feelin a little low effort, try it out!

I hope you have an amazing week ahead and thank you for not being scared to try new things, share your story and put it out into the world <3

I’m not sure if this is true for all the national nooks and crannies but in my home state they’ve discontinued the S’mores Girl Scout cookie which was disappointing this year. While it’s not my favorite (looking at you Tagalongs/peanut butter patties) I was thinking it could be reincarnated in brownie form. Delicious. Although now that I think about it Tagalongs might make delicious brownies too.

I loved listening to the Podcast and am so glad she asked you what you are reading! I love the books you read and am looking forward to starting “Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger!”

Big fan of yuca as well. Didn't grow up eating it but discovered it via the Latin restaurants here in NYC :)

I think the GF toffee cookie is SO underrated and would love to see a spin on that. Also love Samoas and any of the lemon varieties :)
