If you are sick of cooking, we’ve got you covered with today’s show. Since March, I’ve been cooking up a storm, and I’ve only been out to eat twice, which is a big deal for me. Maybe quarantine cooking has you frustrated, uninspired, and tired of planning yet another family meal. This episode will give you lots of delicious, healthy ways to get quick, effortless meals on your family’s table night after night and day after day.
Joining me on today’s show are Jessica Jones and Wendy Lopez, fellow dietitians and founders of Food Heaven, an online resource for inclusive and accessible wellness. They also host the popular Food Heaven podcast, named by iTunes as a New & Noteworthy Podcast in 2016. Jess and Wendy are the co-authors of 28-Day Plant-Powered Health Reboot. They write a monthly food and nutrition column for Self magazine, and their Instagram page is a must-follow. Together, we’ve got mealtime hacks and speedy recipes designed to get you in and out of the kitchen quickly and without a single ounce of stress. You don’t want to miss Wendy’s “Avocado Tale of Woe;” I’m still laughing at her crazy story that explains why avocados are NOT her favorite food.
