1 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. I'm Kelsey Nixon and this is Kitchen Prescription, 2 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: the podcast you listen to when you don't know what 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: to make for dinner. This is episode fifty one, my 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: fall five ingredient meal Plan. Hello. Hello. We are back 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: after a summer hiatus from the podcast, and I can't 6 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: emphasize enough how exciting it is to be here. I 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: have missed this podcast community terribly, but I am thrilled 8 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: to be getting back into the swing of things this fall. 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: I hope you all had wonderful summers spent with the 10 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: people that you love, doing things that felt like maybe 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: a break from the typical hustle and bustle. My summer 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: looked like a little bit of travel to see family 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: cousins for my kids. We moved to a beach community 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: in February, and this has been our first summer taking 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: full advantage of having the beach just a few minutes away. 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: So it was lots of surfing and boogey board and 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: sand castle building, but mostly just a lot of sand. 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm learning that I'm a person that has to accept 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: the fact that I live with sand everywhere, in my car, 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: in my house, in the sheets, like it's just every 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: hits everywhere, but a small price to pay for being 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: so close to the beach. I've also spent the summer 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: working on a new product we will be launching very 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: soon here and continuing to serve our members in Recipe 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: Club with weekly meal plans, new recipes and tools to 26 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: make getting dinner on the table feel more manageable. This 27 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: summer we launched our cheat sheets in recipe Club and 28 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: they have been a huge hit. Print them all now 29 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: if you were in Recipe Club. We did a salad 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: cheat sheet, a grilling cheat sheet, A lunch cheat sheet 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: is a one pager front and back that you can 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: quickly reference for dinner ideas on the busiest of nights 33 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: or Like the salad sheet sheet, one side is all 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: of the components I put in a sala when I'm 35 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: making a salad. The other side is the six salads 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: I make most often. Our grilling cheat sheet was six 37 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: marinates you can use four grilling anything on the grill. 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: The other side was the six dinners I make most 39 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: often on the grill. So helpful, so make sure you 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: print those off. I keep them in my recipe bhinder. 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: My sister tapes them up on her pantry, wherever you 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: keep them. They are just a fantastic resource. Now, I 43 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: know that back to school season can be a time 44 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: when a lot of us start to reprioritize a habit 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: of weeknight dinners. So my team and I have been 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: working so hard to put together an entire month of 47 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: five ingredient recipes perfect for fall. They're live and Recipe 48 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: Club now, and it's been so fun to hear from 49 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: so many of you how much you're enjoying the lineup. 50 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: So I wanted to spend today's episode discussing how to 51 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: make delicious dinners with only five ingredients. First, we're going 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: to run through three simple recipes you could throw on 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: your meal plan if you're stuck trying to decide what 54 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: to make for dinner this week. And lucky for you, 55 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: they are all five ingredient recipes. So our first recipe 56 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: is this preshudo wrapped chicken with green beans and shallats. 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: You guys, this is so good. So I use a 58 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: chicken cutlet because it cooks faster. I wrap it in pascuto. 59 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: And if you're like perscudo, I don't buy a prostuto. 60 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: You can use bacon. Prescuto's just fancy bacon, really, but 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: I really like the saltiness in presuto. I love the flavor. 62 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: And then you wrap that up, you throw some cheese 63 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: on the top, you put it on a sheet pan, 64 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: and then you're going to cook some green beans with 65 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: shallats and a skillet, and you literally have a complete, 66 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: flavorful meal with just a handful of ingredient. This has 67 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: been a winner for my family. It is definitely in 68 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: our regular rotation at the moment. Okay, Number two, Tie 69 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: steak salad. This recipe was modeled after a favorite salad 70 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: a favorite restaurant. So it's Hillstone has a tie what 71 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: do is? They call it a tie crunch salad. I 72 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: can't remember what it's called, but basically I love that 73 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: salad and anytime I go to Hillstone sometimes the restaurant's 74 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: called Houston's, depending on where you live in the country, 75 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: I always always get it, and so I needed to 76 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: have a quick fix at home. So this is a 77 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: really quick, five ingredient recipe that mimics that salad. It's 78 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: got thinly sliced flank steak and Asian salad kits, some mango, 79 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: some tomatoes, so so yummy, and it's also very colorful, 80 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: very beautiful, Okay. And the third recipe are my apple 81 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: bacon grilled cheese sandwiches. This is a recipe I have 82 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: been making for years and the origin of this recipe 83 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: actually comes back from when I was working on Food 84 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: Network and I spent a lot of time testing recipes 85 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: in the Food Network kitchens and I'll never forget working 86 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: with a producer and we were I can't remember what 87 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: the episode was, but we were doing something with grilled 88 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: cheese sandwiches and she's like, oh, if you ever put 89 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: mustard on a grilled cheese sandwich, And I was like, 90 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? No, that's so weird. Guys. 91 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that a little swipe of 92 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: whole grain mustard on a grilled cheese sandwich with some 93 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: slices of apple and bacon will change your life. Most 94 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: delicious grilled cheese ever. You must try this recipe. I 95 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: love it, especially when I dip it in tomato soup. 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: It's just becomes a full meal and everyone loves it. 97 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: Five ingredients. So there are your recipes for the week. 98 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: You can find all of them and print them out 99 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: and recipe club individually, or we also compile them all 100 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: into a weekly meal planning guide if you prefer, we 101 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: just make all the decisions so you don't have to 102 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: decide at all.

Let's jump into the back 105 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: half of the podcast and discuss the power of five 106 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: simple ingredients. Regardless of what stage of life we're in, 107 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: making dinner can just feel overwhelming. Sometimes it's rooted in 108 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: decision fatigue, like you don't mind cooking, but you just 109 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: hate deciding what to make. Sometimes it's nothing sounding good, 110 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: like nothing just sounds good to eat, Or if you 111 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: live in a house like mine, you get frustrated by 112 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: the thought of cooking something that you're not sure the 113 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: majority of your family will even eat. If you've got 114 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: picky kids, you know what I'm talking about. So, if 115 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: you find yourself falling into any of these categories as 116 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: we begin this new season, like five ingredient recipes might 117 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: just be the perfect fit for you. I started sharing 118 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: five ingredient recipes on Fridays on Instagram about eighteen months ago, 119 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: and they were a huge hit, with millions of views 120 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: and people just really love them, and seeing how many 121 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: people engaged with and save these posts kind of taught 122 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: me that I really struck a chord with this whole 123 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: five ingredient thing. It's like your brain sees the five 124 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: ingredients like, yes, I can do this, I can do this. 125 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: So we started to build a five ingredient library of 126 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: recipes within my membership platform, recipe Club, so that our 127 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: members could have a variety of five ingredient recipes to 128 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: choose from on their busiest nights. Those busy nights for 129 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: me look like the nights when we have baseball games, 130 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: or we've got ballet and baseball, or we've got a 131 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: back to school night which just happened, and you know 132 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: that time is super limited. It also makes grocery ordering 133 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: or grocery shopping so seamless, like very very seamless. And 134 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: chances are, if it's a five ingredient recipe, my guess 135 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: is you're going to have two or three of the 136 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: ingredients already on hand, if not all of them. I 137 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: want to offer up a few tips when it comes 138 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: to cooking with only five ingredients, So I got include 139 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: a disclaimer here that these five ingredient recipes I give 140 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: myself a few freebies, things like salt, pepper, olive oil, butter, 141 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: like basics like that that you'd find in nearly every kitchen. 142 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily include those in the five ingredient lineups. 143 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: So if you can forgive me on that, some of 144 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: you are going to be upset, and I accept your criticism. 145 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: It is what it is. Right, everyone's got to have 146 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: some salt and pepper. And if you don't have salt 147 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: and pepper in your kitchen, let's start with that. The 148 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: first tip I have to offer when it comes to 149 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: making really simple recipes with only a handful of ingredients 150 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: taste great is to not skimp on basic seasoning. Salt 151 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: and pepper go a long way, especially when you're using 152 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: kosher salt and crack black pepper. So what do I 153 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: mean by that some of you might be already on 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: board kosher salt is it's not iodized salt. It's different 155 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: from table salt. It doesn't have iodine in it. It's 156 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: a large grain and I would say is universally loved 157 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: by people in the food cooking chef community. It's what 158 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: most people use. So the way you're gonna do this 159 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: is you're either going you could buy like they sell 160 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: like kosher salt shakers, But the way I like to 161 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: do it is to buy a box of kosher salt, 162 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: and you're going to find a little dish and you're 163 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: going to pour the kosher salt in your dish, and 164 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: you're going to keep that in your kitchen so that 165 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: you can easily access it to seasoned recipes, just like 166 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: a chef would. The cracked black pepper. And I am 167 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: looking at you, Kylie, my sister, because I was just 168 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: at my sister's house and I helped her organize her 169 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: beautiful new kitchen. It was amazing, you guys, but she 170 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: didn't have a pepper grinder. You gotta have a pepper 171 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: grinder a or a spice grinder. Having cracked black pepper 172 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: is aw. And let me just tell you, like the 173 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: tactail process of cooking of taking a pinch of salt 174 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: and doing some turns on the pepper grinder is just 175 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: it just feels nice. It feels nice, and that freshly 176 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: cracked pepper and the kosher salt are going to make 177 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: such a difference when it comes to how your food tastes. 178 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: So if you take nothing else away from this podcast, 179 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: and you live in a kitchen, you live in a 180 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: house with a kitchen that does not currently house kosher 181 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: salt and cracked black pepper. Promise me this week you 182 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: will do that. You you will be shocked at the 183 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: difference it makes. Okay, so don't skimp there. Also, it's 184 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: important to season as you cook and also taste as 185 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: you go. And this is actually something I learned back 186 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: in culinary school years ago, but I'll never forget. Like 187 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: on the first week of culinary school, they they put 188 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: like a little dish in front of you with a 189 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: bunch of tasting spoons, because it's really important to develop 190 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: your palate to taste as you go. But that sounds 191 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: too fancy even for a regular home cook. Tasting as 192 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: you go is going to instantly make you a better cook. 193 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: So what do I mean by this. Let's say you're 194 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: making soup. Right we're heading into the fall soup season. 195 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: Let's say you're making a I have a five ingredient 196 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: tortilla soup in Recipe Club and I think it starts 197 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: with sautaging a chopped onion. So you've chopped your onion, 198 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: you add it into the pot with a little bit 199 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: of oil and you're sauteing it and an instruction say 200 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: season with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper. 201 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: And so you are going to season then, and then 202 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna add your next ingredient, rotissery chicken, and then 203 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna add the salsaberry, and then you're gonna add 204 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: the chicken broth. Now, after all of that's come together, 205 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: you're going to give it a stir. And because you've 206 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: seasoned those onions initially, it's building flavor as everything simmers together. 207 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: Now the tasting as you go. At this point, you're 208 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: gonna taste it and you're gonna say, hmm, that tastes 209 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: a little land to me. Maybe it needs another pinch 210 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: of salt, or I think I could use another crack 211 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: of pepper. And tasting as you go before you serve 212 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: it to your people or yourself is such a great 213 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: habit to develop. So you're gonna season and taste, you're 214 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna dow both of those things. So I like to 215 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: keep a little, let's call it a seasoning station near 216 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: my stovetop with that little bowl of kosher salt, my 217 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: pepper grinder, and I have my olive oil, and I 218 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: have an avocado oil because I use avocado oil for 219 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things and then I can just easily 220 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: reach for them. It's kind of how chefs cook and honestly, 221 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: it's how you should cook too. So I'm gonna share 222 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: a picture of this setup on Instagram this week's you 223 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: guys can see it's it really is a It's gonna 224 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: remind you too, if it's right there to reach for 225 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: that salt pepper and to season as you go, So 226 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: don't skimp on that. It's gonna make a big difference 227 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: for simple recipes. Second, figure out a few core shortcut 228 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: ingredients that you can rely on for quick dinners. Some 229 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: examples include like a jarred marin air sauce, prepared pesto. 230 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: My favorite brand there's the Kirkland pesto, but there are 231 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: lots of great brands out there. A rotisserie chicken. Oh 232 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: my goodness, there was there ever a better short cut ingredient. No, 233 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: the rotisserie chicken is amazing, especially when it comes from Costco. 234 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: I really like farrow. That's something. It's a trader Joe's 235 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: favorite that I use. And these swe all ingredients I 236 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: can keep on hand in my pantry. I mean, the 237 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: rotisserie chicken doesn't win my pantry, but they're almost a 238 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: cue for an easy dinner. So with the rotisserie chicken, 239 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: I almost always include one in my grocery order every 240 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: week because I'm always using that for something. Let me 241 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: give you like a few specific examples. So with the 242 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: Marrinero sauce, something like, Okay, it's busy, You've got you know, 243 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: a parent teacher conference in a baseball game that night, 244 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: but you still got a feature family spaghetti and frozen meatballs. 245 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Now those could be meatballs you made, so those could 246 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: be maintballs you bought by taking some dry pasta, your 247 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: marinair sauce, your meatballs. I know that's like incredibly obvious, 248 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: but I'm here for the obvious. I have a recipe 249 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: in recipe Club that's creamy tomato pasta with sausage and spinach, 250 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: five ingredients, but it uses a jarred marinaire sauce, and 251 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: that is having that on hand, you know, gives me 252 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: one step closer to the recipe. Another thing I make 253 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: all the time is sheet pan chicken palm, and by 254 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: having that Marionnair sauce, it just makes it easier to 255 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: pull that together. Pesto. We just cooked a recipe and 256 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: recipee Club last week, a creamy tortolini with pesto and tomatoes, 257 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: five ingredients. Pesta was a core ingredient tomato basil soup. 258 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: Let me tell you, a tablespoon of pesto and tomato 259 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: basil soup will kick it up. A notch rotisserie chicken agent, 260 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: cashew crunch salad. The tortilla soup I just talked about 261 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: barbecue chicken spiders. So critical for a five ingredient recipe 262 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: that Farrow I mentioned. It's like a grain, and when 263 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: we get a little tired rice, I rely on Farrow 264 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: and it's got Actually it's a little healthier for you 265 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: as well. It's got this great nutty flavor. Trader Joe 266 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: sells a ten minute quick cooking Farrow. It's in a 267 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: blue bag. It's like a buck. It's so cheap. And 268 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: this is such a great shortcut ingredient for me because 269 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: not only can it be a component to a full 270 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: dinner like a hearty grain bowl, whether we're making burrito 271 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: bowls or greek bowls or something like that, but it's 272 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: also a great side a great side dish.

So keep that in mind. Now, 284 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: third five ingredient fancy Okay, go with me here, don't 285 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: discount adding a few finishing ingredients to really amplify a 286 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,479 Speaker 1: basic recipe. I want you to think about a squeeze 287 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: of citrus like lemon, crumbled cheeses, chopped cilantro, parsley, or nuts. 288 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: Those really go a long way. And in the five 289 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: ingredient recipes that I have written for this whole fall 290 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: meal plan, I have to leave some of these out right, 291 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: but I always include them as optional ingredients. So, for example, 292 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: one of the recipes I'm making this week is this 293 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: prostudo wrapped chicken, and with the green beans in the shallats, 294 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: you can saute those green beans and a little olive 295 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: oil with salt pepper in the shallats. It's delicious. But 296 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: you had just to squeeze a lemon juice at the end, 297 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: and boy, hattie, does it take it to the next level. 298 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: Don't discount that, because chances are you've got a crumbled 299 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: feta in the fridge, you've got a lemon or lime 300 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: hanging around on the countertop, and you can finish your 301 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: pacos with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Or you know, 302 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you grow herbs, or maybe you've got some 303 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: slantro left over from making GUACAMOLEI the other night. Think 304 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: about that. It goes a long way, all right.
