Here's our roundup of all good things, good advice, good feelings. It’s the happy hour of blog posts! Up this week: The Team is dishing all about foods they'd want if stranded on a desert island!

Welcome to The Friday Buzz, our roundup of all good things, good advice, good feelings. It’s the happy hour of blog posts! Up this week: The Team is dishing all about being stranded on a desert island!

Let’s talk desert islands for a minute. I rewatched Castaway for the umpteenth time (it’s a fave!) and it got me thinking on how I would even survive on a desert island. That’d be quite the comical scene, let me tell you. Truth be told, camping is a stretch for me, so Desert Island Claudia isn’t going to be anything pretty. I’m definitely a girl of modern conveniences, buuuut I’m sure if it came down to the wire and I had to survive, I would be able to. #determination

I thought it’d be fun to see what desert island food (or foods) of each member of The Simply Recipes Team would choose. I asked them what they would be able to eat for the rest of forever and not get sick of it…. Let’s see what they all said, shall we?

DESERT ISLAND MUST-HAVES

Emma, Editor-in-Chief: Eggs are a must. They’re nutritious and delicious. Also: POPCORN.

Eggs are a must. They’re nutritious and delicious. Also: POPCORN. Summer, Associate Editor: Berries or watermelon. She’s also desert island savvy and is thinking beyond food so she’d also take a knife, her phone, and solar charger.

Definitely potatoes. Then cookies. Then berries. Megan, Marketing Director: Avocados, ice cream, chocolate covered almonds. Now, wait a minute… she is now adding COCONUT CAKE to the list!

What about you?! What’s your desert island food?

Slamming Delicious!! Butternut squash…awesome surprise. This recipe is now permanently placed in my rotation.
