Hi, I’m Jenny, and yes, this whole site is essentially an ode to one very specific dish that changed everything for me and my boyfriend, Eric.
It started one lazy Sunday afternoon. We were both broke, a little hungover, and trying to decide whether to go out or “just throw something together.” I opened the fridge, saw a lone sweet potato, half an avocado, and some sad-looking tortillas. Eric raised an eyebrow. “Taco bowl?” he said. And just like that, our favorite comfort food was born.
I know it sounds silly, but that bowl became our thing. We kept tweaking it, adding little touches of roasted corn, chipotle crema, and black beans with garlic until it was perfect. And somehow, every time we made it, we’d slow down, talk more, laugh more. It became a kind of ritual, our reset button.
Eventually, our friends started asking for “the bowl” every time they came over. Then they wanted the recipe. Then they said, “You two should just start a blog.” So… here we are.
This site isn’t trying to be the next big food empire. It’s just our tiny corner of the internet, where we celebrate the magic of simple, comforting food – the kind that makes you feel held, full, and just a little bit in love.
If you’re here, maybe you’re hungry. Maybe you’re curious. Maybe you’re in your own sweet potato love story. Either way, welcome. We’re glad you found us.
Jenny (and Eric, who does the dishes)
