This week’s lineup leans into cozy comfort, bold global flavors, and a mix of indulgent classics with lighter, feel-good bowls. There’s a strong balance of creamy pastas, crisped proteins, and plant-forward dinners that still feel hearty. Some of my faves include:
Crispy Chicken Bacon Alfredo: parmesan-crusted chicken and smoky bacon tossed through rich, creamy alfredo with spinach and broccoli — unapologetically comforting and weeknight-friendly
Creamy Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry: deeply spiced, tomato-rich masala with tender chickpeas and cauliflower that delivers big flavor while staying fully plant-based
Umami Salmon Fried Rice: ginger-soy glazed salmon folded into stir-fried rice with edamame, chili flakes, and a sunny-side-up egg for a fast, craveable bowl
Hope you enjoy! — Rhys
Dry January Just Got Way More Delicious and Uplifting 🍸✨
January doesn’t have to feel dull or restrictive. It’s a chance to reset, feel amazing, and still enjoy the ritual of a great drink. Enter Vesper, Pique’s newest release—and my favorite upgrade to Dry January.
Pique is known for blending ancient botanicals with modern science to create elevated wellness essentials, and Vesper is no exception. This non-alcoholic, adaptogenic aperitif delivers the relaxed, social glow of a cocktail—without alcohol or the next-day regret.
It’s what I reach for when I want something special in my glass. Each sip feels celebratory and calming, with a gentle mood lift, relaxed body, and clear, present mind. No haze. No sleep disruption. Just smooth, grounded ease.
Crafted with L-theanine, lemon balm, gentian root, damiana, and elderflower, Vesper is sparkling, tart, and beautifully herbaceous—truly crave-worthy.
Dry January isn’t about giving things up. It’s about discovering something better. And Vesper makes every pour feel like a yes.
