1 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Hi everybody. I'm Kelsey Nixon and this is Kitchen Prescription, 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: the podcast you listen to when you don't know what 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: to make for dinner. Today's episode one hundred and seventeen 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: Slow Cooker cheat Sheet. I am fresh off a warm 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: weather vacation to Hawaii, smack dab in the middle of winter, 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: and if I'm being honest, I don't have much to 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: complain about since I live in southern California, but I 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: know so many of you are dealing with snow and 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: super low temps right now, and I'm sorry. We spent 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: the last week in Maui with my parents, siblings and 11 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: all of their kids, and we had the time of 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: our lives. It really was such a blast, with the 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: highlights being perfect weather. I am talking like seventy six 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: in sunny, no rain, like it just was perfect. But 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: the other huge highlight was whale watching. And I have 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: never been to Hawaii during whale season, but my goodness, 17 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: the only word I can think of for it was 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: like it was spectacular. We did like an official whale 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: watching tour that just exceeded all of our expectations. We're 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: on this big boat and it had like the nets 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: that you sat on and we got to see like 22 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: not just one whale, like we're talking pods of whales, 23 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: five six whales swimming together, you know, doing their blowhole 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: thing and coming in and out of the water. It 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: just was incredible. It was so amazing. I can't wait. 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: It feels like this bucket list thing, but I can't 27 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: wait to do it again. It was. It was really cool. 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: And not only was the whale watching tour itself really neat. 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: The thing that I think blew my mind the most 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: is even just being on the beach. If you were 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: on the beach looking out into the ocean, it does 32 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: not take more than a few minutes to see whales spouting, 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: whales breaching, like they are everywhere, even to the extent 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: that as we were driving to the airport on our 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: last day, you know, my husband's driving, my kids are 36 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: in the car casually looking out the window, and we 37 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: saw the most epic will breach out of the water, 38 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: as if it was a moment from Free Willie. And 39 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: it's like here we are just driving on the road 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: and witnessing the these whales. So if you don't have 41 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: that on your bucket list, I highly recommend it. It was 42 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: really really cool with all that whale talk. We have 43 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: officially re entered into reality and we're making the most 44 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: of it. Kids are back at school, my husband Robbie, 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: and I are back at work. And one of the 46 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: craziest things is we attempted to start our re entry 47 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: was on our flight back home. I found myself being like, Okay, 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: I know there's no food in the house because we 49 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: were gone for a whole week, and so I logged 50 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: into Recipe Club to take a look at the weekly 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: meal plan. This was Saturday, and I literally ordered my 52 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: groceries using her one click grocery shopping from over at 53 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: the pace fake ocean. I was like mid flight Hawaii 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: to La, ordering my groceries to be delivered to my 55 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: house within minutes after I got home. I'm like, helln sane? 56 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: Is that that? That feels like the Jetsons. I cannot 57 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: believe that we live in a world where you can 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: order your groceries from the sky in the middle of 59 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: an ocean and you can make a plan for what 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna feed your family that week, just like total 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: pintry moment.

But you know, I should call 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: this Greatest Hits Week. It's funny as I planned this, 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm like looking at this list and these are very 73 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: popular recipes for making this speak So number two Indian 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: buttered chicken. That is more and more of you are 75 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: making it and love it so much. It really does 76 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: just include a handful of ingredients, but it tastes like 77 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: it's been simmering all day and it is so delicious, 78 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: so full of flavor, such a hit with kids, great 79 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: served over rice, like it's got the protein in there. 80 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: It's just a really great recipe. So if you're in 81 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: Recipee Club and you haven't made it, you must make it. 82 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: If you're not in recipe Club, use that code try 83 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: me for a dollar to spend first month poking around, 84 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna make anything, make this Indian butter chicken. 85 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: And another recipe on my list for this week is 86 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: my baked CD. If it feels like I've been making 87 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: it often, I maybe have. The honest truth is my 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: family just loves it. And whenever I am not in 89 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: the mood to make decisions and I say what do 90 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: you guys want for dinner this week, they still always 91 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: say baked CD. So in the winter month especially, we 92 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: probably have it at least once a month, maybe sometimes 93 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: twice a month. So Indian buttered chickens on our list 94 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: for this week. Famous Big Zd's on this list for 95 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: the week, and also my slow cooker white chicken chili, 96 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: which is like embarrassingly easy. You basically just throw everything 97 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: into the slow cooker and let it do its thing, 98 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: or if that's how you want to approach it, set 99 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: it and forget it great. Or you can also throw 100 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: it into an instant pot and we have directions for 101 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: that where it happens quicker. But I probably prefer this 102 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: low coal conversion just a little bit, as it allows 103 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: you to develop more of those flavors all right. There 104 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: are three recipe ideas for the week. You can find 105 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: and print them all in Recipe Club individually or in 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: our weekly meal plan that has an easy to follow 107 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: shopping list that's broken down by recipe. You guys all know. 108 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: The Recipe Club is a resource that I created that 109 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: allows you to access family tested, quick and simple recipes 110 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: on the Internet without being bombarded with banner ads, long 111 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: blog posts, or drawn out stories. Not to be really frustrating, 112 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: as I was looking for recipes every week, so I 113 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: have very intentionally created a space where I try and 114 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: make that process easier. So if you're interested in checking 115 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: it out, and like I said, if you are going 116 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: to check it out, I highly recommend starting with the 117 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: baked ZD in the Indian butter Chicken. You can use 118 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: the code try me at checkout for our monthly membership 119 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: and try the first month for just a dollar and 120 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: see if you like it. Print out the recipes that 121 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: look exciting to you. If it doesn't seem like the 122 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: system's a good fit for you, no big deal, I'll cancel. 123 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: But my guess is you are going to love it. 124 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: You're going to love the community, You're going to love 125 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: the simple dinner system it provides and stick around. All right, 126 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: let's jump into the back half of the podcast and 127 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: discuss how my slow cooker cheat sheet is saving me 128 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: in my kitchen. Right now, we are in the thick 129 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: of slow cooker season, if that's even an official season, 130 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: it is in my house. For most of you, it's 131 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: smacked ub in the middle of winter with colder temps 132 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: and that desire for easy, set it and forget it 133 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: comfort foods. And I get a lot of requests for 134 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: slow cooker recipes and Recipe Club one thing we do 135 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: every month is we ask our members what types of 136 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,559 Speaker 1: recipes they're wanting, and always during those fall and winter months, 137 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: we get so many requests form more slow cooker recipes, 138 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: so many that I decided to really dedicate an entire 139 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: month in February to adding more slow cooker recipes new 140 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: recipes to our library. So with the launch of these 141 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: new recipes this past month, I also wanted to put 142 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: together a cheat sheet that I had found myself longing for. 143 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: I love a cheat sheet. We have probably ten fifteen 144 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: different cheat sheets in Recipe Club, just quick, one page 145 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: reference guides that make your life easier in the kitchen. 146 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: But what I really wanted for this one is not 147 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: only did I want a quick reference guide for converting 148 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: slow cooker to instant pop recipes, but I also wanted 149 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: a one pager that included how I could batch cook 150 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: a few shredded proteins that I could easily incorporate into 151 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: weeknight dinners or meals lunch as well. Coming off January, 152 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: where my focus had been to be more protein aware, 153 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily counting my protein my grandm's of protein 154 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: every day, but I am trying to get more protein 155 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: in myself and my family. I'm just always looking for 156 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: any chance that I can toss in a handful of 157 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: shredded chicken, pork, or beef to dinner so that we 158 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: can kind of amp up that protein. And so this 159 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: for me, felt like the easiest way to do that. 160 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: So I set out to work on this magical cheat 161 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: sheet that I had wanted, and I wanted it to 162 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: include one side with my favorite batch proteins that could 163 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: be made in advanced and like I said, use throughout 164 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: the week for lunches or dinners, and then I wanted 165 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: the other side to contain a simple conversion chart. So 166 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: that you could easily convert any slow cooker recipe to 167 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: instant pot and vice versa. So I want to walk 168 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: you through the cheat sheet a little and talk about 169 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: how I developed and tested these things and most importantly, 170 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: the easy lunches and dinners that these bulk proteins can 171 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: turn into. So as it goes with a lot of 172 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: the recipes and resources in Recipe Club, I am likely 173 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: like a lot of you. I am an overwhelmed mom, 174 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: overwhelmed with lots of really wonderful things, but overwhelmed regardless. 175 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm a working mom. I've got multiple kids. I've got 176 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: a daughter who I guess she's inching out of toddler. 177 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: I mean she's four. I've got a four year old, 178 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: I've got an eight year old. I've got a twelve 179 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: year old. So we've got a little bit of toddler, 180 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of preteen. We've got everyone in different stages, 181 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: going a ton of different directions. And as we all know, 182 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: protein has been this big buzzword for the past couple 183 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: of years, and it really is so great. It's so 184 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: great to contribute to a more balanced diet in our homes. 185 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: It fills our kids up, it fills us up, It 186 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: helped with building muscle, it just it in any Honestly, 187 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: it helps me move away from just feeding my kids 188 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: straight carbs. But it's hard. I have found it to 189 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: be very hard to get protein in that is not 190 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: like the same form of protein over and over again. 191 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: So that's why I wanted this batch protein sheet because 192 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: I for a long time I would get a rotisserie 193 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: chicken every week in my grocery order, and to be honest, 194 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: most weeks I still do that because it's actually just 195 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: so cheap. For five bucks if you're a costco shopper, 196 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: I get between three and four cups of shredded chicken 197 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: that is a delicious, and I can just use it 198 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: in all sorts of different things. But I've also started 199 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: buying chicken in bulk a bit more chicken breasts, and 200 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: so if that's the case, I wanted a stellar recipe 201 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: that I could either toss in the instant pot or 202 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: the slow cooker, take two to three pounds of boneless, 203 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: skin less chicken breasts or thighs, give it a bunch 204 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: of seasonings, and then have it on hand to turn 205 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: it into quick meals. So I knew that I wanted 206 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: to focus on three proteins that my family would eat 207 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: most often. Chicken definitely the most but you can only 208 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: have so much chicken before it gets a little boring. 209 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: But like one cup of shredded protein has thirty five 210 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: grams of protein, or one cup of shredded chicken has 211 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: thirty five grams of protein. That is so much. That 212 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: is so much that should not be that hard to do. 213 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Shredded pork is the other one. We do a lot 214 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: of that for tacos and Mexican food and stuff like that, 215 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: and then shredded beef. So I went through and it 216 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: was really important to me that I tested these in 217 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: both my slow cooker and my instant pot, because I 218 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: think people feel passionately about one or the other. What's 219 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: interesting is if I'm making a full recipe, I probably 220 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: prefer the slow cooker, but if I'm doing something like this, 221 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: I prefer my instant pot. So we've got you covered 222 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: on the cheat sheet for both options. So I use 223 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: really I don't want to use theor generic because that's 224 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: going to make it not sound flavoraful, but really accessible 225 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: spices in all of these recipes. For example, the shredded 226 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: chicken has some garlic, salt, paprika, onion powder, a little broth. 227 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: The shredded pork has lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, 228 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and the shredded beef has a little bit of chili powder. 229 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: So just a teeny bit of heat, some garlic powder, 230 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: and then a little bit of worcestersure sauce. That's kind 231 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: of the secret ingredient in shredded beef. That just makes 232 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: it taste like a bit more beefy, like it has 233 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more depth of flavor. But I tested 234 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: those going back and forth because I didn't want anything 235 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: to have too much influence, like I didn't want to 236 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: put cumin in any of these, or coriander, because I 237 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: didn't want the whole thing to be you have to 238 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: be used for one type of cuisine. So the shredded 239 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: chicken could be used in Italian recipes, it could be 240 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: used in Mexican recipes. It could be used just to 241 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: top a basic salad for lune. Same thing with the 242 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: pork and the beef. So with this on the sheet, 243 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: you're going to see the three shredded chicken, pork, and beef, 244 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: and then underneath it you're going to see four recipes 245 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: for each of those that you could easily incorporate these 246 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: shredded proteins in from recipe Club. So, for example, the 247 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: shredded chicken, this would be great if you're going to 248 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: make the apple cheddar green bowls, a really popular salad 249 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: and Recipee Club so delicious, and this would be perfect 250 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: for that. If you're wanting something heardier, more comfort food, 251 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: like the broccoli cheddar bake is perfect for this shredded chicken. 252 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: The chicken and orzo soup is a great soup option, 253 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: or maybe you are wanting something that's super kid friendly, 254 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: the baked chicken tiketos. I did this last week with 255 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: this exact recipe, huge hit. I doubled the recipe. I 256 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: froze half of them because it is my son's absolute 257 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: favorite after school snack is to come home and take 258 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: one of those baked chicken tiktos and toss it in 259 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: the micro So those are some examples of what we're 260 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: suggesting for this shredded chicken. For the shredded pork, we 261 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: have a shredded pork peta recipe in Recipee Club. It's 262 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: got a really delicious yogurt sauce that just takes those 263 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: over the top so good barbecue pork sandwiches, taking that 264 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: shredded pork, tossing it with your favorite barbecue sauce, putting 265 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: it on some sliders, our carnate as pork bowls, which 266 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: is essentially like a burrito bowl, and then the Bondi 267 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: pork sandwiches, which uses some more adventurous spices, But what 268 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: you're really doing is doing that through some pickled veggies 269 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: and a sauce, and then you're putting it on a 270 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: delicious roll and really making a super flavorful dinner with 271 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: like the huge, you know, cheater step of having your 272 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: pork already done. Then for the beef, we've got shredded 273 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: beef tacos where if you've got it in you to 274 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: make those pickled onions and a fresh batch of guac 275 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: will be so delicious. Philly cheese steaks we're gonna sat 276 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: tee off some peppers and onions and add some melted 277 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: cheese on top of that, are skillet beef enchiladas and 278 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: our standard beef pot roast, where you're going to make 279 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: a very simple gravy that's gonna be starved over mashed 280 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: potatoes with peas and rolls Super Delicious. So you'll find 281 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the sheet these directions for slow cooker. 282 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: Combine all the listed ingredients and you're slow cooker. Cook 283 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: on low, chicken for six hours, beef and pork for 284 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: eight hours. Shred and toss with juices. When you are 285 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: storing any of these shredded proteins, I do recommend that 286 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: you store them with the juices. So you're going to 287 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: want to transfer them, let them fully cool so that 288 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: you're all good on storing it in a way that's 289 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: going to be healthy, but keep the juices in there. 290 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: It'll help maintain some of that moisteness. Instant pot it's 291 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: a little bit different, right, you're going to combine all 292 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: of the ingredients in the instant pot, you're going to cover, 293 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: you set that valve to ceiling. You're going to pressure 294 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: cook on high for the time suggested on the backside 295 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: of the cheat sheet. So he went through and made 296 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: sure for chicken, beef, pork, we have those generic suggested 297 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: cooking times. It's usually in fact, let's get into it. 298 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: For chicken, it's so short, it's usually six six minutes, 299 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: ten minutes. If you want to be safe, but six 300 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: minutes of active cooking and then a ten minute release 301 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: natural release before doing a quick release. Beef is a 302 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: little bit longer. Beef is twenty minutes per pounds, So 303 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: if you're doing thirty excuse me, if you're doing three pounds, 304 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: which a lot of like the standard roast you buy 305 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: at the grocery store are, that'll cook for about an hour, 306 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: but that's way shorter than the eight hours it would 307 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: take in the slow cooker. Pork is it doesn't take 308 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: that long. It's really only gonna take about forty five minutes. 309 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: So we've got all of those references on the back side, 310 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: but same thing you're gonna want to toss with the 311 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: juices and store with the juices to really keep that 312 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: meets super super tender. On the backside, you're also going 313 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: to see, like for everything in chicken, we have it 314 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: broken down to breast thighs, a whole chicken. We've got fish, 315 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: we've got soup, vegetarian dishes, all of these different things 316 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: that you can see. If something typically takes two hours 317 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: in a slow cooker like rice, it's only going to 318 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: take you eight to fifteen minutes in the instant pot. 319 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: Or if you are going to do meat balls in 320 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: a slow cooker that might take you four to six hours, 321 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: it's only going to take ten to fifteen minutes in 322 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: the instant pot. And it's funny. As my husband was 323 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: helping me design this, he was like, well, why would 324 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: never be just cook everything in the instant pot. But 325 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: it kind of depends on your lifestyle. Like, if you're 326 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: a working parent, you may want something you can put 327 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: in the slow cooker and just work away all day 328 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: for eight hours and have done by the time you 329 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: get home. If that's not the way you want to work, 330 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: and it's four o'clock and you're like, shoot, I got 331 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: to put something together for dinner, the instant pot's your 332 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: best friend. So the one thing to keep in mind 333 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: if you're not an instant pot user is there are 334 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: some unknowns with the time, meaning you got to wait 335 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: for it to come to pressure, and you don't know 336 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: exactly how long that's gonna take. It's usually a couple 337 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: of minutes. And you're also gonna have to wait for 338 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: it to naturally release some of that pressure. And so 339 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: even though it says on our cheet sheets six minutes 340 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: for chicken breast in the instant pot, you're gonna have 341 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: some time before and after. It's still gonna be way 342 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: shorter than the slow cooker. But that's just something to 343 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: keep in mind. So if you are feeling like this 344 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: would be helpful to you, I want you to have it. 345 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: I want you to have it. Whether it's getting the 346 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: shredded proteins that you can keep on hand, I will 347 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: if i'm I usually do one of these a week, 348 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: the chicken, pork or beef, and then I just incorporate it. Honestly, 349 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm using it most often for lunches for myself and 350 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: for my kids. Like if I'm making a quesadilla for 351 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: my kids, I throw some of that shredded chicken there 352 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: no one even knows, and I've just added thirty five 353 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: grands of protein to help them stay full, to prevent 354 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: them from snacking on crap for the rest of the day. 355 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: I want you to have this. So it's in recipe Club. 356 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: If you join recipeak Club with that trimey code for 357 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: the monthly membership, you not only get access to all 358 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: of our recipes and our weekly meal plans, you get 359 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: access to all of the cheat sheets an awesome area 360 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: called my kitchen where I have gone through every cabinet, drawer, 361 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: everything in my kitchen to show you the tools that 362 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: I use that incare life easier. We have holiday menus 363 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: in there. There's a lot in there, So it's definitely 364 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: worth the one dollar to just give it a go 365 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: for one week. All right, Slow cooker cheat sheet that 366 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: was my baby last month. I spent so much time 367 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: on it and I'm hoping that it's going to be 368 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: a great resource to a lot of you. All Right, 369 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: let's finish with the weekly gimme five. As you know, 370 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: these are five things that made my life easier or 371 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: more enjoyable this week. And we're going to just continue 372 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: this conversation with the shredded proteins because I did this 373 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: where I went and invested in a few more storage containers. 374 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm laughing about because I feel like I talk about 375 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: how obsessed I am with my particular type of storage container. 376 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: You guys know that I feel like anyone over the 377 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: age of thirty deserves to have matching storage containers. The mismatched, 378 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: you know, can never find the lid to this bottom. 379 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: You're better than that. You deserve better than that. So 380 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: pick one brand for me, it is rubber Maid Brilliance, 381 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: where they will all stack, the lids will all be cohesive, 382 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: and it just looks nice and it's organized. Rubber Maid 383 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: Brilliance initially came out with a really hard BPA free plastic, 384 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: and that is what most of my storage containers have been. 385 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: A year or two after they initially launched, they launched 386 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: with glass, but they only had glass containers in a 387 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: few different sizes. Recently, they launched their eight cup glass 388 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: storage container, and that is exactly the size I need 389 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: for one of these shredded protein recipes. So, just like 390 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: everyone's trying to do their best and clean up their 391 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: kits a little bit, I am trying to use less 392 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: like plastic storage baggies, and so I thought, since I'm 393 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: doing this often i'm making a big batch of shredded protein, 394 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: I want some storage containers that are literally reserved just 395 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: for this. What's great about the glass ones is if 396 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: I am gonna use everything that's in there, I can 397 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: just pop it in the oven, I can pop it 398 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: in the microwave easily. And I would like to eventually 399 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: swap out most of my storage containers to this glass variety. 400 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: It's just a bit cleaner, and that's something I'm trying 401 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: to do this year. So that's on my list. Glad 402 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: I finally bought those. It's like twelve bucks per container, 403 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: but I think it's worth it. I mean, you literally 404 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: could bacon them if you wanted to. I wouldn't, but 405 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: they're really really great and durable. Okay, Next, I, as 406 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: you guys know, I was in Hawaii and about eighteen 407 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: months ago, I stopped drinking diet coke daily from my house. Now, 408 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: I did not go cold turkey. I am not. I 409 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: will still get diet coke when I go out to 410 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: a restaurant and I enjoy it, but I am not 411 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: having it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner like I was. 412 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: But when I'm on vacation, all bets are off. And 413 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: so in Hawaii, I went hard on the diet coke 414 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: and it felt great. I just I mean, it's hilarious 415 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: to think it's not like I'm, you know, going on 416 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: an alcohol binge like I had diet coke. But it 417 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: was so good. But I am coming back and realizing 418 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: that those cravings for diet coke are tacking up wards, 419 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: and so I needed to arm myself with all this 420 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: stuff I drink at home. That makes it so I 421 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: don't crave diet coke. And I'm a big fan of 422 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: Better Days, Better Greens. I use those. Those do have 423 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: some caffeine, and then you can buy them with caffeine 424 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: or without caffeine. But I do have one of those 425 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: in the morning to kind of help jump start my day. 426 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: I use one of their hormone products, Better Hormones and 427 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: the delicious Pineapple Coconut Flavor. And then when I'm not 428 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: doing that, I have one of those a day, one 429 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: Better Greens and one Better Hormones, and then other than that, 430 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: I just can't do straight water. I know it's embarrassing. 431 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: I should be able to, but when I'm not doing that, 432 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: I am adding a little true lemon strawberry lemonade packet 433 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: into my water. And what it is is it's crystallized 434 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: lemon and strawberry and it is so good. It's actually 435 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: something that I was given at a Favorite Things party. 436 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: It is not too sweet, it does not taste like 437 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: fake sugar. It does not have any sugar in it. 438 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: It is just like adding a fresh squeeze of lemon 439 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: into your water. And as if you have folded in 440 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: some fresh strawberries. I love it. I love it. In fact, 441 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: I look forward to getting back to it because I 442 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: didn't bring any with me to Hawaii. So that's on 443 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: my list. We have some guests coming this week, my 444 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: mother's coming, which is so exciting, and one of the 445 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: things we needed for a long time is to refresh 446 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: our guest towels. I'm actually embarrassed, like they're scratchy. I 447 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: mean they're only a couple years old, but they have 448 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: been they have been used, and so I have had 449 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: these Turkish cotton towels in my Amazon cart for literally 450 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: months because I've had a couple of people suggest them. 451 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: They've got like forty thousand reviews, they're not that expensive, 452 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: and I finally just ordered them because I have guests coming. 453 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: Number four on my list is my favorite pens. I 454 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: am obsessed with the Muji zero point three eight pen. 455 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: I've used it for a couple of years now. I 456 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: love it so much that I'm actually a person now 457 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: who uses a pen until it dies. I love it. 458 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: I love them in black, my husband likes them in blue. 459 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: And it was time to reorder. And who knew that 460 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: I would feel so passionately about a very specific pen, 461 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: but they're the best, and I think there's kind of 462 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: like a cult following out there. You mentioned that you're 463 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: a Muji pen lover, and people are like, ah, yes, 464 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. And then finally, finally, finally, 465 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: I feel like you guys know, I've had a couple 466 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: of vacations planned, which is not like me. Usually I 467 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: am such a homebody and prefer to stay home. But 468 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: nothing says I just turned forty, like buying a swimsuit 469 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: that has built in shapewear. I know, but I kept 470 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: getting ads for this brand called Stylist st y l 471 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: e st and it literally was created by moms like me, 472 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: over mommed moms, working moms who've got kids who want 473 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: to be comfortable at the pool. But I like one 474 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: of their ads literally said sucking and sucks. I was like, ooh, 475 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: I resonate with that. And so there are these great 476 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: classic bathing suits one pieces, two pieces, and I just 477 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: have a little bit of shape. We're built in, and 478 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: my sister had bought one spoort in Hawaii, and they're expensive. 479 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: It's more of an investment, but I genuinely believe it's 480 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: a suit I'm going to have for the next ten years. 481 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: And I came home. I was like, forget about it, 482 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: I'm buying it. I'm buying it. I also bought because 483 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: it's a pretty classic shape. I bought it in red 484 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: because I love the color red. And I thought, Okay, 485 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: it's a classic shape. I'm gonna buy it in a 486 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: fun color. But it is on its way to me, 487 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: and I'm really excited. I it's one of those purchases 488 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: I've thought about for like the past six months and 489 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: just hesitated because it's an investment. But I did it. 490 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: I bought myself a swimsuit with some shapewear, and I 491 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: am a middle aged woman and I feel great about it. 492 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: All right, that's it for today. You guys, make sure 493 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss 494 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: an episode.
