Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care. 

Emily Griffith Lil Bucks

Emily Griffith, founder of Lil Bucks, comes on the podcast today with two purposes: one, to explain what the heck sprouted buckwheat seeds are (and how to eat them), and two, to recommend connecting your pandemic culinary explorations to past (or future!) travel aspirations while also practicing things you can take with you post-quarantine. We hear about a near-disastrous Indian cooking attempt that got a little too real, Emily’s go-to coconut curry sauce, how to create a restaurant-like atmosphere at home, and more.
