Coconut Sushi, White Lilacs + Rosé: The Perfect Girls’ Night In At Home

Girls' night out is one thing, girls' night in is another. Whether for brunch, tea, lunch or dinner, there's nothing like having a few of your own girl tribe over for healthy bites and even healthier conversation. There's nothing that can't be discussed when the rosé-fueled, girls-only conversations take place in your own home! And that's what girls' night in is all about - catching up and winding down for a few moments to build up the women around us in life. If rosé has a higher purpose, this is it. For this particular girls' night in, we gathered for golden hour with a few of our favorite friends in wellness who know how to get down in the kitchen. Our own editor, Suzanne Hall huddled up with raw chef and author, Meredith Baird, baby whisperer-slash-holistic doula, Erica Chidi Cohen of Mama Circle, and one of our favorite wellness bloggers Lacy Phillips of Free + Native. We whipped up girl food recipes like no other at Meredith's Venice home and took full advantage of the home's rooftop garden for one of the last bright evenings of the season. Make our menu at home and invite your own tribe over! Below you'll find Meredith's incredible coconut sushi recipe from her new book the Coconut Kitchen and Lacy's sprouted fall grain salad with mint and pomegranate arils. We also enjoyed a few glowy bottles of rosé courtesy of Club W and gorgeous local florals from our girl crush, Finch Floral (white lilacs, anyone? Swoon.) Here are a few notes on making these delicious hand rolls at home... Hand-rolled sushi makes a great lunch or dinner - it’s a straightforward and uncomplicated presentation. Young coconut meat is an excellent fish substitute. Rice is not used in the following version, but this dish can definitely be served with any grain you would like; black rice offers a really nice contrast to the white coconut, and quinoa is also a great choice. Serve with a little pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce or coconut aminos. Try serving hand rolls with as many ingredients as possible and letting everyone make their own.
