Three Ingredient Meals

3 Ingredient Meals

A cooking competition

Like everyone else in America, I’m working from home and avoiding leaving my house as much as possible. In other words, nothing has changed for me. It is a totally new lifestyle for most of my friends, and they’ve been finding creative ways to maintain community.

Today, my friend Haley livestreamed a cooking competition on Instagram. Anyone who wanted to could enter. The only rule was you have to make something with 3 ingredients. There were some funny ones (mac and cheese with pizza rolls and an Advil) and some gross ones (green bell pepper sautéed in red wine with marshmallows). Overall it was a really fun time, and lots of our friends tuned in.

I made two 3-ingredient things. The first was bucatini with white bean sauce and sautéed kale. I blended white beans with a little pasta water to make a more sauce-like consistency. The second item was ice cream made with coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. I’m happy to say I won the competition.
