Cookbook Progress: “The First Pass”

Things are getting pretty exciting for us, guys.

If you haven’t caught wind on social media (Follow us here on IG or here on FB), we have “The First Pass” of our cookbook in our hands.

This means we have the first paper copy of our book in our possession. I’m trying really hard to contain the explanation points, dear friends…!

In a moment of inspiration, I created a little video to share more about what this means for us. Bear with me as I grow more comfortable talking to my camera on a tripod. 🙂
