1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Hi there, everyone. Welcome to this week's episode of Kitchen Prescription,

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: the podcast you listen to when you don't know what

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: to make for dinner. How is everybody? It seems like

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: it has been a wild couple of weeks for so

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: many of us, as you're maybe dealing with school closures

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: or quarantines or wild winter weather, whatever it may be.

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: You know, we've had our fair share of school disruptions

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: and Huntingtown COVID tests. But luckily everyone in my house

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: has been healthy, and for that, I am so grateful,

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: and I hope it's been the same for you. So

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: I've been in the thick of recipe testing and development

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: for recipe Clubs February Recipes, which means that I'm making

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: the same recipes over and over again, and as you

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: can imagine, my family kind of tires of that. So

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I usually end up taking the leftovers to a neighbor

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: friend after I've made something once or twice, and they're like,

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: no more Mom, no more tourt a lady. But then

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: I still have to feed my family, So there's still

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: a ton of super simple dinners on days when I

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: have been in recipe testing, because to cook all day

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: and then come home and cook at night. Like I said,

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I feel the dinner dread just like you do, if

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: not even more sometimes, and I think that there are

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: people out there who assume that my family has a

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: gourmet meal every single night. I practice what I preach

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: when saying that what's most important to me is that

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: we get everyone to the table. I love wonderful recipes,

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: but it's more about the people to me, So like,

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: just know that we have our spaghetti hot dog weeks,

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: just like everybody else. And if that's what it looked

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: like this past week for you, you're doing a good job.

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: But I have a confession that I just couldn't feel

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: good about keeping from all of you. I've been working

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: late this week, trying to kind of find my new

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two rhythm with a projects I have lined

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: up for this year, like Recipe Club and this podcast.

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: And what that's meant the first couple of weeks of

38
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the year is a lot of late nights. And one

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: of the benefits of late nights is the justification of

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: a late night snack. I have a current snack that

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: is so ridiculously good that I can barely help myself

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: from not planning to indulge in it every single night.

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: In fact, when I know that I've got work to

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: do that night, if I know that I'm having the snack,

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: it's easier for me to do it. Okay, here it is.

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: Start with honey crisp apple slice, honey crisp. For me,

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,559
Speaker 1: it's got to be honey crisp because I want the sweetness.

48
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: Then I very excitedly walk to the refrigerator and pull

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: out the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar from my fridge and

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: slice just enough of this cheese to put on top

51
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: of each apple slice for like that slightly sweetened salty crunch,

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: because I got to have that balance. Then I take

53
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: a handful of these chips that are so good. I

54
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: purchase them at my local Kroger grocery store. It's their brand,

55
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: their in house brand called Private Selection, and it is

56
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: a salt and balsamic vinegar chip and they are change

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: your life good. They're so good. So that's it. That's

58
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: my snack. My sliced apple with my unexpected cheddar cheese

59
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: from Trader Joe's and my balsamic vinegar chips, and it

60
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: is currently my perfect snack to keep me going when

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm working late and you don't have access to a

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's, keep an eye out for the Beacher's flagship cheese.

63
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: I love this just as much, and I actually think

64
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: they taste pretty similar. It's like a sharp white cheddar

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: with a healthy dose of parmesan, and every bite oh

66
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: so so good. Anyways, thank you for going on that

67
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: snack journey for me. I just thought to myself, more

68
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: people need to know about this. Do you have that?

69
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Do you have like a perfect snack combination? Oh? That

70
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: is just doing it formulately. All right, enough about snacking.

71
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: You're likely listening to this podcast for dinner ideas, and

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: I have got three for you this week to help

73
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: you as you a meal plan for the upcoming week.

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. This is one of those recipe

75
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: not required recipes. This is one of those things that

76
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: once you make it, maybe once or twice, you shouldn't

77
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: even need to look up the recipe in the future

78
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: because it's that simple. And it is my roasted sweet

79
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: potatoes with the Cuman yogurt sauce. It's so delicious and

80
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: such a hit. In fact, if you look, if you

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: follow me on Instagram, I did a reel of this,

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: I believe. I said it's entitled need an easy lunch idea.

83
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: So this is something that I do for lunch or dinner.

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: But you roast off some sweet potatoes, would you can

85
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: totally do in advance, And I actually recommend that if

86
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: you're going to go to the effort of roasting sweet potatoes,

87
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: throw a few extra in there and use them throughout

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: the week. But after roasting the sweet potatoes, or while

89
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: they're roasting, I like to toss together some black beans

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: and a skillet with some spices cuman I think a

91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: little coriander in their little salt, and if you like

92
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: some heat, you can do a dice talopeno in there

93
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: as well. And it is just those nice warm spices

94
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: with the beans are so delicious. And then I make

95
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: a cuman yogurt sauce, so it is Greek yogurt with

96
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: some lemon juice. You could also use slame juice obviously

97
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: human seasoning, some salt and then some cilantro in there

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: and that all mixed together. So once your potato is

99
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: roasted and delicious, salt and pepper it if you want

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: to put a little butter on top of it. I'm

101
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: not gonna be mad, but if you're trying to keep

102
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: things healthy, you certainly don't need to because the yogurt

103
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: sauce is so rich. So then you do the black

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: beans over the top, and then I like to do

105
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: the big dollop of the cuman yogurt sauce, and then

106
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: I finish with a diced avocado and another hit of cilantro.

107
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: And what's great about that is it's another really easy

108
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: meal to deep construct for my kids. So I can

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: dice up the sweet potatoes they call them orange potatoes.

110
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: I can serve with the black beans on the side,

111
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: and these if you don't do a halopeno the beans

112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: are not spicy, or if you needed to keep the

113
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: spices out, like if they're not gonna like that human,

114
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: then you could do that. I do recommend you trying

115
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: to introduce spices to your kids sooner rather than later.

116
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: And that's a really healthy meal for my kids. So

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: it's another one that's just I know it's gonna work

118
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: for me and my husband where we don't feel like

119
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: we're eating kid food, but it also works for my

120
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: pick here kids. So okay, that's the first one. Once

121
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: you make it. You'll be making it every week because

122
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: it's such a great, great option. Okay, the second one.

123
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to share this because if you've just found

124
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: me and you're new here, this is my most popular

125
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: recipe ever, hands down, and this is the perfect time

126
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: of year to make it, when it's a little chilly outside,

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: when maybe you want to make something extra to stick

128
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: in the freezer. It's my baked ZiT and it is

129
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: my favorite baked pasta dish. You can do it with

130
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: sausage or without, so you can make it vegetarian or

131
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: you can add the sausage for those meat levers in

132
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: your life. And it utilizes some great pantry staples that

133
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Yo sauce. I'm telling you, I cannot help myself. In fact,

134
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: as I'm developing these February recipes right now, I'm like,

135
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: it's a state like there. It is the definition of

136
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: staple in my pantry, meaning that it just saves me

137
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: so much time. And unless I am making tomato sauce

138
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: from scratch with fresh garden tomatoes in August, then I'm

139
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: not convinced you can get as kind of a flavor

140
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: like it's really or someone's Italian grandma making it like

141
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: it's just so good, such a hit with my kids.

142
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: Great for leftovers, it freezes wonderfully. You can make it

143
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: a couple of days in advance, stick it in the fridge,

144
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: have it ready to go. So for example, if you

145
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: wanted to prepare this on Sunday, it could sit till

146
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: really Tuesday or Wednesday. All of these directions for the

147
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: Baked City are on my website Kelsey Nixon dot com.

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: But if you make no other recipe of mine, make

149
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: this one. It's a really good one. One last thing

150
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: I want to say about it is if you are

151
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: taking a meal to someone, maybe someone's recently had a baby,

152
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: maybe someone's been sick, maybe someone just needs a little

153
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: pick me up, this is a great recipe for that.

154
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: And usually what I do is I pull the Baked

155
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: City together and I drop it off with a Caesar

156
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: salad kit, a loaf of French bread or garlic bread,

157
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: and some ice cream, and that is that's my hope

158
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: you feel better meal. Third chicken and orzo soup with

159
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: lemon and garlic. And this is a January recipe Club recipe.

160
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: To me, this is like an elevated version of chicken noodle. Soup,

161
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people have been sick lately,

162
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: so I want to recommend a soup, and chicken soup

163
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: really is good. I isn't there signed tific evidence or

164
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: something saying that chicken soup actually does make you feel better.

165
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a chicken soup recipe that's

166
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit different than what you've had in

167
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: the past. I like that there's oar zone instead of

168
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: the traditional noodle. Flavors are really developed and deep. There's

169
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of garlic in it. You start by cooking

170
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: the chicken in the pot, and then you keep the

171
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: chicken in there and so it really flavors the broth,

172
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: and then you shred it before serving and it's just

173
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: really delicious. So if you are interested in that recipe,

174
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: join Recipe Club with us. We have such a great time.

175
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: And that is a January recipe. All right, those are

176
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: your three meal ideas for this upcoming week. One last

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: thing I want to say is that if you have

178
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: a particularly busy week ahead, I'm mostly thinking of I

179
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: know a lot of people who have had school canceled

180
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: and you've maybe got your kids home a little bit

181
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: more often or whatever, it may be maybe works crazy.

182
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Sunday and you're staring down the barrel of

183
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: the week and you're like, this week is going to

184
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: be so insane. Don't forget to ask whether it's a spouse,

185
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: a partner, a teenager in your house, to take a

186
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: night to be in charge of dinner. Tell them it

187
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what they make or pick up. You just

188
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: need them to have food on the table at five

189
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: thirty on a Thursday or Tuesday or whatever it may be.

190
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: That has been like a really good tip for me.

191
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: And to know that I get one night off for sure,

192
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: like I've completely delegated it. It's so nice, is so nice.

193
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to throw that out there in

194
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: case you're feeling like you've got a particularly busy week ahead.

195
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: All right, now that we've discussed the recipes, let's get

196
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: into the kitchen prescription for the week. So I'm really

197
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: excited to introduce you all to my kitchen Prescription guests today.

198
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: This guest is one of my favorite people on the planet.

199
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: I never met anyone who is a better friend than her.

200
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: She's incredibly talented as a designer and a photographer, and

201
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: is the most loving mom and fun mom. She's really fun.

202
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: She gives the best advice. My guest today is none

203
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: other than my sister, Kylie. Kylie, Welcome to the podcast. Hi,

204
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to be here. I am so thrilled.

205
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Thank you for being my first official guest. And I

206
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: have to tell you guys that the reason I wanted

207
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: Kylie to be on the podcast was because I often

208
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: refer to her as my avatar. And what I mean

209
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: by that is as I create content for Recipe Club,

210
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: my Instagram page, my website, I always have her in mind.

211
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: And that's who it's because that's who I feel like

212
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to help the most, someone who is trying

213
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: to get dinner on the table for a bunch of

214
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: little or big people under their roof while also trying

215
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: to do all the other things like work and pursue

216
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: passion and occasionally find time for themselves. And that is Kylie.

217
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: So if you see something I post or publish, chances

218
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: are it has Kylie's stamp of approval. And this works

219
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: because she's so honest with me. And in fact, Kylie,

220
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: I was trying to remember just a day or two ago,

221
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I told you an idea and you're like, no, I

222
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: think it was. Remember I was asking about would you

223
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: make a focaccia pizza if you had to wait for

224
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: it to rise, and you were like no, too hard.

225
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: So this is my official public thank you for being

226
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: the world's best sister and sounding board and I'm just

227
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: so happy to have you here. All right, Well, I

228
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: have no business being your first guest, but I'm happy

229
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: to help. Oh, I love it. Okay, So, Kylie, we

230
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: are going to go through the kitchen prescription process, and

231
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: if you're new to the show, this is the cooking

232
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: meats organization part of the show where I consult or

233
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: coach a guest on how to make their kitchens function

234
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: just a bit better by discussing the ways they're organized, outfitted,

235
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: and how we can help them set up smart kitchen

236
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: systems to optimize for easy cooking. All right, so Kylie,

237
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: first tell us all just a bit more about the

238
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: makeup of your family and then maybe some of the

239
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: pain points you have in your kitchen right now. Okay, So,

240
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: I my husband and I have three little kids ranging

241
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: from my oldest is six and then my middle is four,

242
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: and my baby is sixteen months. So we're in the

243
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: little little kid phase where you know, it's just physically

244
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: exhausting getting through the days, and by the time dinner

245
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: comes around, if I am not totally prepared and buttoned

246
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: up about dinner, it is just chicken nuggets, you know, which,

247
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: no hate, no shade to chicken nuggets, because we eat

248
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: a lot of them in my family. But it's like

249
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm pulling something out of my freezer. And it always

250
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: feels so good when I get a meal on the

251
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: table for my family, even if they don't eat it,

252
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: I just feel good providing that for them. But like

253
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I said, it, if I am not totally prepared, it

254
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. And I have a hard time being motivated

255
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: to be prepared. I get overwhelmed with, you know, like

256
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: what to make and then actually executing it is the

257
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: hard part for me, right right. I think that's so

258
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: common and even me my kids are a little bit

259
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: older than Kylie's, but I feel a lot of those

260
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: same things where And I just want anyone who listens

261
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: to this podcast to know that no one should ever

262
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: feel bad about feeding their family any type of food.

263
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: That is, there is no place for that here because

264
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: food is food. And getting your family to the table

265
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: is the most important thing, and we do plenty of

266
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: chicken nugget nights as well. But Kylie, before we talk

267
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: about maybe some things we can do to help relieve

268
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: some of those stressors, what is working in your kitchen

269
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: right now, Like, is there any system or things that

270
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: you have organized, or maybe a tool that you're using

271
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: that's working really well for you. I will say that

272
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: I am a less is more kind of person, and

273
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: something that works really well for me is that I

274
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: don't have a ton of stuff in my kitchen. My

275
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: pantry is really organized right now, it is at least

276
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: and like as far as like my cookware goes, I

277
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: don't have like a ton of pots and pans, but

278
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: I have a couple of really nice ones as a

279
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, as of last year, I've started investing in

280
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: some nicer stuff. My husband and I were like in

281
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: a student phase of life for the first eight years

282
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: of our marriage, so we got by on very little,

283
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: and so I've kind of just gotten used to not

284
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: having a ton of stuff and that works for me,

285
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: Like I don't have too much stuff to get overwhelmed by.

286
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: I have slowly been investing in more long term pieces

287
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: for my kitchen, like I recently bought a Stob skillet

288
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: that I'm really loving, and I bought the I got

289
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: the Caraway cookwear for Mother's Day last year, which I

290
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: have loved. I'm addicted to buying bins for everything, as

291
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: you know. I will like send Kelsey like, I'm Marco

292
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: Polo mid day of my newest collection of bins. And

293
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: it's just totally thrilling and embarrassing that that is my life.

294
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: But it is, and I'm to be embarrassed about when

295
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: it comes being thrilled by a bin. I am right

296
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: there with you. And on the Stob pan, I just

297
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: want to say that's the same piece of cookwear I

298
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: talked about last week that I am loving as well,

299
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: and so I'll be sure to include a link in

300
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: the show notes. But it's a three and a half

301
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: court brazer, is what it is. So it's got two handles,

302
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: and it's heavy, and it's got this clear glass lid.

303
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: But don't you find that it's just really great to

304
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: cook with, Kylie, Yes, it's awesome. I just I mean,

305
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: obviously I'm not as technical of a cook as you are,

306
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: but I find it very easy to cook with, and

307
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: like all of your skillet meals are awesome for it,

308
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: and I love cooking chicken in it. And I've only

309
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: had it a few weeks, but so far it's been

310
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: an awesome investment. I'm in total agreement with you. I

311
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: feel like, of all of the pieces of cookwear and

312
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: really tooled in my kitchen as far as serving multi

313
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: purpose right now, that is the one tool that I

314
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: love the most. So or if you are in the

315
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: market for I hesitate calling you a skillet because technically

316
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: it's not. But like you said, Kylie, you can make

317
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: all your skillet meals in it, whether you're doing stir

318
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: fry or like the skillet Towrtalining Form recipe club last month.

319
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. Okay, So I want to talk

320
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: about a couple of things. It sounds like to me

321
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: a little bit that one of the things that you

322
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: deal with that would just east and burns is this

323
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: idea of dinner decision fatigue. Do you find yourself asking yourself, like,

324
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: I just hate having to decide what to make for dinner.

325
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: Walk me through, like what your approach to meal planning is.

326
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't because I don't have like a

327
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: set approach. Unfortunately, I will say that ever since you

328
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: launched Family Meal make Over and Recipe Club, I that's

329
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: the only place I've been going for recipes because they

330
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: are just so perfect for the kind of meals I

331
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: want to make, which I always I don't know, I

332
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: think you use this term a lot too, but like

333
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: elevated but easy, like I still feel like I'm making

334
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: something good and like exciting, but it's not too hard

335
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: or too fussy, right. I'm so happy. I'm so happy

336
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: to hear that. I'm just going to give you a

337
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: little tip and we'll see if you're up for implementing this.

338
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: But I love this idea of making the decision about

339
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: what you're going to make for dinner once instead of

340
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: seven times per week, so that if you take a

341
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: day and you decide I'm going to make this, this, this,

342
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: and this, and even if you don't make it on

343
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: the day, no problem, when you still have a meal

344
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: ready to go. And so for me, on Thursdays, after dinner,

345
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: that is my special time. My husband does bedtime, and

346
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: that is when I think about what we're going to

347
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: cook for the upcoming week. And if I make the

348
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: decision once then I don't find myself having to wonder

349
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: throughout the week what am I going to make? And

350
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: that has been really helpful. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly

351
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: what I need to do. It's just a matter of

352
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: actually doing it. I don't know if maybe I should

353
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: set it like an alarm in my phone, or if

354
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: you should harass me every Thursday or what it might be.

355
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: But having like a set system is really exactly what

356
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: I need. I just I need the motivation to actually

357
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: go through with it and implement it. How is your

358
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: picky eater situation right now? Do you feel like you're

359
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: dealing with a lot of pickiness? Well, if you know me,

360
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: you know that I have a child who is extremely picky,

361
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: Like I think that she's on the pretty extreme end

362
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: of things. Well, it's getting a little better, and I

363
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: will take any progress that I can. In short, we

364
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: definitely have a picky eater situation. The kid plate suggestions

365
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: is super helpful for us. Good good, I'm so so

366
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: happy to hear that. Here's another thing that I think

367
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: would be really helpful with your age of kids. That's

368
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: been great with my kids. One thing I do is

369
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: when I'm cleaning up dinner, I pull out the lunch

370
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: boxes or I pull out a plate for lunch the

371
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: next day, and if there's something they didn't finish that

372
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be just fine to serve them tomorrow.

373
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Whether I put baby carrots on their plate or Nora

374
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: loves pickles right now, like, whatever it may be, I

375
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: just put them directly onto the lunch plate or in

376
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: the lunch box. And I'm finding that I'm wasting a

377
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: lot less food. And it's that decision thing. I'm not

378
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: having to decide the next morning or the next afternoon,

379
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: what are they going to have for lunch. Along those

380
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: same lines, I think you shared this tip with me

381
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: that is totally a game changer. I while I'm cooking dinner,

382
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: as I'm kind of wrapping things up, well, actually, I

383
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: guess i'd do it before I even start cooking. Usually

384
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: I lay out on my island three little plates, and

385
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: if I know that there's a chance that my picky

386
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: one is going to eat something deconstructed as I'm cooking throughout,

387
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: I just put the food on her little plate, and

388
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: by the end I'm not kind of scrambling, because that

389
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: end part of serving dinner when it's time to actually

390
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: serve up that feels so chaotic to me. Always, even

391
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: if I'm whether I'm hosting or whether I am just

392
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: cooking dinner for my own little family, that time is

393
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: so chaotic. It's like everyone needs a fork and a drink,

394
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: and this kid wants milk and this kid wants water,

395
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: and it's just chaotic, and there's always something else that

396
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: needs to be like pulled out of the oven or whatever.

397
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: Baby pulling out the plates remove some of the chaos,

398
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: and then it also eat better. Yeah, and then I've

399
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: got one more tip for you with picky eaters. And

400
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: then this whole idea of decision fatigue is maybe on

401
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: that Thursday day, so maybe you do set an alarm

402
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: on your phone. You ask, you tell Kate and Molly.

403
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: Those are her daughters, Kate, Molly and then her little

404
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: boys Jack. You'd stay to Kate and Molly guess what

405
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: next week dinner is going to be so fun because

406
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Kate you get to pick something we're gonna have on Tuesday,

407
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: and Molly you get to pick what we're going to

408
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: have on Wednesday. And if you want to, you can

409
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: give them some suggestions. Right, So obviously you would pick

410
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: something that you know Kate or Molly would eat. But

411
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: I think by involving them in that process a little bit,

412
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: it can help, and it can get them really excited.

413
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: And you know, in a perfect world, you let them,

414
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: you know, help you contribute to making that meal to

415
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: a certain extent. But let's not get crazy here, right, Like,

416
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: let's be realistic. But that's something you could try too,

417
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: is your meal planning with those picky eaters. And when

418
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: it's like I don't I find myself all the time

419
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: saying I don't care what I'm going to make for dinner.

420
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: I just don't want to have to decide. And so

421
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: when I ask my kids, it's a really good habit

422
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: to get into in that regard. Yeah, I definitely should

423
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: try that. I need to start now that they're getting

424
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: a little older, I need to start giving them more

425
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: responsibilities and liberties. I just I've been in like the

426
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: little kid phase for so long, little little and now

427
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I need to start letting them have

428
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: more independence. Well, if anything, it just gets them, it

429
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: just gets them a little bit more excited about it. Then.

430
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: The last thing I'm gonna say, and this is another

431
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: good system that my family uses is I have a

432
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: greatest Hits list in my phone. Try to remember if

433
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: you do something like this. But when I make a

434
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: meal and it's a success, meaning most people at the

435
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: table eat it and most people like it, then I

436
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: add it to the greatest Hits list in my phone.

437
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: And same thing. When I'm trying to make decisions about

438
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: what we're going to make for the week ahead, is

439
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: I order groceries, then I refer to that list, and

440
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: that way I'm not scanning, you know, the internet trying

441
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: to pick five new recipes when I can pull from

442
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: things I know are going to work because it's amazing

443
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: how I make things, and then I forget when everybody

444
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: actually really liked them. So that's something you could do

445
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I've always wanted to print out our

446
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: greatest Hits recipes and laminate them and just have them

447
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: in a cupboard somewhere in my kitchen so that I

448
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: can pull them out at any time. I need to

449
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: just do that, because I think that would help me out.

450
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Because I also hate cooking from a screen because I'm

451
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: always worried I'm going to like splash on it or

452
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just don't like it, like it

453
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: sleeps and then I have to touch it with my

454
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: chicken fingers and whatever. I know, I'm with you. And

455
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: when Kylie had her most recent baby, I went out

456
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: to help a little bit and I got her all

457
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: set up for grocery delivery and order. And you like it, right, Yes,

458
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's game changer for sure. If you're

459
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: not doing it, you really should. And don't you think

460
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: Kylie did. As far as the mistakes that go, like

461
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: you gave me nine bananas instead of seven bananas, it's

462
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: really not that bad, right, Yeah, I don't care because

463
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: I didn't have to take my three three kids to

464
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: the story. And I will say I was super hesitant

465
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: when you were trying to get that set up for me,

466
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: Like I was just like, I just don't I don't

467
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: know what it was about it. I just it was

468
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: so foreign to me. I think that I didn't want

469
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: to do it. But now that I have it in

470
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: my routine, it's so awesome. I don't know how I

471
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: ever did anything else. I you can't be mad at me,

472
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: But I am going to ask you to tell me

473
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: one story. It's one of my favorite cooking stories ever.

474
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: And I know what you're gonna say, and you guys

475
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: must know. First of all, I'm gonna start this by saying,

476
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: I may be good at kitchen stuff, but do you

477
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: know what my sister is the best at. Well. First

478
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: of all, she's an incredible photographer, amazing organizing digital photos

479
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: and family books. She's also amazing at toys, like, she's

480
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: the most fun mom ever. She has the best toys

481
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: and she's so good at toy organization. Okay, So with

482
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: that said, Kylie, tell us one of your most embarrassing

483
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: moments in the kitchen. Okay, I'm wondering if we're thinking

484
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: of the same thing. I think we are. But I

485
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: was I in college. I think I was in college,

486
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: and my mom she had a bunch of still pats

487
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: that we always used for baking at home, and they're

488
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of rubber looking. And anyways, I was at BYU

489
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: and my roommates and I were making cookies and one

490
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: of my roommates had a what I don't know, it

491
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: was plastic, a plastic cutting board, which I had never

492
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: seen before because the lilims the ones you get an Ikea.

493
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: But Kylie, a lot of people have those, I know

494
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: they do. I have owned them since, but I had

495
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: never seen one because my mom always had heavy duty

496
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: wood cutting pot. Yeah. Anyway, so I thought it was

497
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: a skill, pat And I don't know what I thought

498
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: it was that I put it on the cookie sheet

499
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: and I baked cookies on it and it did not

500
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: end well. I love it so much. Anyways, Kelsey, you

501
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: have guided me through many of mishaps in the kitchen

502
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: and I actually feel like I am a I'm not

503
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: going to say good cook, but I'm decent decent, and

504
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say that as you've developed the skill. It's

505
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: like you said at the beginning, it's a rewarding skill

506
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: to develop. And it's like a euphoric feeling. It's like

507
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: a dopamine hit when you put a meal on the

508
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: table for your family. So it does. It feels so good.

509
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: It feels really good to do that. I'm with you.

510
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: It's something that's worth prioritizing. And I think I shared

511
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: this last week, but Kylie, I had said to you

512
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,200

00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: It's a hard thing to do but it's it's totally

516
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,240
