Maybe an introduction would be a good place to start. We are two angry millennials that are sick of being controlled by consumerism and atrociously unhealthy food. We are among the many people that are tired of seeing wasted food, non-recyclable material, and painfully inactive lifestyles. Ok so maybe that was a little bit aggressive but I guess that's the essential motivation behind this blog.
We are two young adults living in the Northland. Two young adults struggling finding their place in the complexity that we call life. We're a student and a post grad who are getting real sick of feeling like their own life is out of their control. We're two humans ready to begin our journey to having our own health, physical and mental alike, in our own hands. How are we gonna do that? No. Idea. But we're gonna try.
I guess we should specify a little more about ourselves. Like I said before, we are two adults living in the upper Midwestern portion of Minnesota. We're roommates, best friends, and adventure buddies (yes that means we're dating). We don't really feel like using our real names so we are going to be obnoxious and use nicknames: Panko (long hair male-type human) and Sriracha (other human). When we first decided to take this journey, we started with cooking more creatively. One of our first recipes called for Panko breadcrumbs and Sriracha. I (Sriracha) looked at our cart and said to Panko: "We have panko and sriracha...we are real hipsters now." So there you go.
Things you should know about Panko:
- Vegetarian
- He/Him

Things you should know about Sriracha:

- Working as a Youth Care Counselor
The last thing you need to know about us is that our favorite thing in the universe is dogs. Like actually, we love dogs so much. The only things we love more in this world than dogs themselves is our own waggly tail: Buddy. Buddy is our rescue Pit Bull mix and he is the light of our world. He loves snuggles, peanut butter, and shadow puppets. He is three and a half years old and about eighty pounds of pure joy.
Ok so the annoying intros are over and you're still reading so that's cool. So what is this blog going to be? This blog is going to be the visual documentation of Panko and Sriracha's attempt to having a healthy, mindful, green lifestyle. This means a life with minimal waste, nutrient-rich food (good bye processed junk), and a focus on mental and physical well being. We will be posting recipes, adventures, and anything in between. This blog is an experiment and something for Panko and Sriracha to do together that isn't Netflix.
We're real stoked to see where this journey takes us. Feel free to stop by and say hey, give suggestions or general feedback. We always appreciate being shared on social media.
Talk to you soon fam.
Peace out,
Sriracha
