What I’m Cooking For Dinner

What I’m Cooking For Dinner

What I’m Cooking for Dinner is a food podcast focused on simple ingredients, family cooking, and cooking on a budget. I casually discuss the challenges of cooking for a family and how I manage to put dinner on the table every night with as minimal drama as possible. I don’t shy away from the mistakes I make in the kitchen, recipes that don’t work for me and why, and how I adapt ready-made products into a healthy, well-balanced and tasty meal. I’m obsessed with trying new recipes and new products, especially Trader Joe’s limited seasonal products.

I know it's been a while. Like over a year. I'm sorry! Please forgive me. This episode is a little rough - no intro or outro song, all that jazz. Just me talking into my computer and trying to get things back up and running.

In celebration of Saint Patrick's Day, the theme for this week's episode is green. Dark, leafy greens are some of my favorite vegetables and are great in the winter when there are not as many fresh vegetables available.

The recipes discussed in this episode include gomen (Ethiopian collard gr...
