Catch my Labor Day segment on the Today Show making Italian sausage burgers!

It was such a treat to be interviewed by The Washington Post about 15 Minute Meals — they shared the inspirations behind the book and a few of the “clever shortcut[s]” in the book. They also included one of my favorite recipes from the book, the shrimp fried rice that uses the flavorful combo of sriracha, ginger and garlic powder. Give it a look!

With Modern Freezer Meals coming out soon I’m excited to start talking about all things frozen to make your life easier. And one of my favorite ways to prep is brining and broiling chicken to then use in salads, tacos, rice bowls or wherever else you need them.

I was recently on Dr Oz chatting about what to look for in pre-cooked frozen chicken and - most importantly - how to easily make it for yourself.

I don’t think anything gets people more excited than fried chicken. But yes, like everything, my recipe for fried chicken is the easiest possible version with only 5 ingredients.

Thanksgiving turkey? Who needs her? With COVID going on, my family’s Thanksgiving is going to be much smaller than usual this year. Instead of basing a massive turkey, I’ve decided to go with making smaller, individual cornish hens. The name sounds fancy, but I promise you - this is the easiest thing you’ll be making this holiday.
