Hey! It’s been a while. I hope you’re staying safe and hanging in there with everything happening in the world these days. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t posted on One Ingredient Chef in a few months…<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, I didn’t get COVID (yet!), I’ve just been taking a step back to work on a few different projects. In that process, One Ingredient hasn’t gotten the attention it deserved. I know many of you appreciate my content and I’m sorry for not being as consistent as I could have been over the last year or two. In the end, though, I think pressing pause for a few months helped me to gain a better sense of perspective. That’s what I wanted to talk about today…<\/p>\n

This pandemic has thrown a lot of things into chaos. Some of us have been touched directly by the illness, but nearly all of us have been impacted by the reverberations. Just one example: my good friend\u00a0met the woman of his dreams earlier this year<\/a>, but they were in different countries when the pandemic hit and now can’t even be together because of the closed borders.<\/p>\n

All clouds have a silver lining, though, and I think this situation has given us all a chance to reflect on our priorities and what matters most.<\/p>\n

I recently took a little trip through Arizona to run on the trails of Flagstaff and Sedona and reflect on things. One thing that became apparent to me is how much I miss working on One Ingredient Chef, not for the money or stats or followers, but just for the connection \u2013 the opportunity to create and share my passion with you guys.<\/p>\n

As many of us are feeling isolated more and more often, it seems essential to find better ways of creating, sharing, and connecting with each other around the things we care about. My love for plant-based cooking \/ nutrition \/ fitness is huge. I really need an outlet to share that with others, and I’m so grateful to have that here with you guys.<\/p>\n

This isn’t an entirely new thought. About this time last year, I wrote something similar called Let’s Talk About One Ingredient Chef<\/a> and I resonate with everything I said there even more strongly today than I did back then. Some of what I discussed there came to fruition (i.e. a new recipe app<\/a>) and some wasn’t quite ready. It’s almost like that note was a bit ahead of the person who wrote it. I guess I needed a global pandemic for it to all make sense to me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

What’s Coming Next?<\/h3>\n

With that in mind, I’ve already begun working on bringing you guys tons of new content and projects. Lately I’ve been creating with a whole new passion and focus and it feels good to be back in the \u00a0game. Here’s a preview of where my head is at right now and what I have planned…<\/p>\n
