Did you hear? Hawaii resident Amy Pottinger is headed to Food Network’s Comeback Kitchen!
Amy competed in Food Network Star last year and made it to the final four. If she wins Comeback Kitchen, she’ll compete on Food Network Star again this summer!
This visit, Amy showed us how to make sunrise papaya bowls. Papayas contain papain, an enzyme that aids in digestion, reduces inflammation, and prevents arthritis. It also contains antioxidants that fight free radicals, or electrons that damage cells, proteins, and DNA. Oh, and they’re delicious, too.
Amy stopped by to talk about her Food Network experiences and share her papaya bowl recipe. Catch up with her in the videos below and remember to watch her on Food Network’s Comeback Kitchen on May 27, 2018.
