Recently it was brought to my attention a mentor of mine was in the ICU with Covid-19 Delta.

Then he told me how I could help: write him healthy recipes so he can control his own recovery; now THAT I can do!

I’d like to tell you it was an easy labor of love for someone that’s given so much clarity to my future, but the truth is it’s a labor of love alright, but it sure ain’t easy.

Not because writing a recipe is difficult. No. Food manipulation is my strength. No, the difficulty is in that I’m used to writing recipes for myself, but I HATE writing recipes that are for my level of cooking in a way relative layman can understand.

Here’s the good news though: I’m going to send him recipes daily. Now, what does that mean for you, well about 10 minutes ago I decided I might as well share them with the world!

BE WARNED THESE RECIPES ARE NOT TESTED. THESE ARE RECIPES BUILT 100% IN MY HEAD USING 17 YEARS OF MY EXPERIENCE.
