Hi food friends! How are you all these days? I for one is glad that the sunshine is coming back. I mean just a month ago we were in full snow-storm mode in Vancouver. Hence my desire to enjoy a hot bowl of papaya snow fungus dessert soup.
Mother deer always makes this when we’re sick too because it helps with your immune system, breathing, cough, and digestion. If you want to add extra collagen, you can add in collagen peptides when you’re cooking it. I’ve been adding a scoop of it to practically everything these days and you don’t even notice it’s there.
