Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone! Can you believe we are officially celebrating America’s Semiquincentennial? 250 years is a massive milestone, and I wanted to do something incredibly special to celebrate the Freedom 250 weekend with the entire Cookhouse community.
If you haven't seen it yet, my latest video is officially live! This one is a true labor of love, blending together everything that makes life sweet: incredible food, summer travel, lifestyle vlogs, and brand-new original music.
π΅ A Soundtrack for the Summer: Original Cantonese Pop
Music has a way of bringing people together, no matter where we are. For this historic weekend, I am sharing some of my original Cantonese Pop tracks. Whether you are driving down the coast or hanging out in the backyard, I hope these melodies add a little extra magic to your holiday.
π What's on the Menu? Summer Food & Travel Vlogs
You can't have a holiday weekend without amazing food! In this episode, I'm taking you along on my summer travels and showing you some of my favorite lifestyle moments. We talk everything from classic holiday BBQs to creative twists on side dishes.
Speaking of food, our community is already cooking up some genius ideas! Shoutout to viewer @LaurenNHall77 who recently shared an incredible recipe for crispy rice balls mixed with chickpeas, lentils, red onion, and parsley—fried right in tallow! It has me thinking about all the ways we can elevate simple ingredients this weekend (garlic rice, anyone?).
