How I learned to not hate cooking - Ep 99
from Create and Consume · host Austen Tosone
Is your brain fried when you log off for the day and it’s time to make dinner? In this episode, I’m telling you how I was able to go from takeout devotee to culinary girlie and find a way to actually like cooking when I wasn’t sure that was possible for me. I’m sharing the city-specific struggles with grocery shopping, how I plan simple weeknight meals so I can cook them quickly and easily in between running my business, and the cookbooks, kitchen tools and things that help set the vibe right in my kitchen. Whether you’ve just been boiling pasta water for years or you’ve got a couple of recipes under lock, I hope this episode inspires you to have fun with cooking.Mentioned in episode 99:Content mini series on IGHow to be your healthiest selfFree box HelloFreshHot Mess KitchenThe Dude DietTrader Joe’s 5 Items or Less cookbookTrader Joe’s 5 items InstagramKarissa’s InstagramThe Practical Kitchen InstagramTara Michelle’s YouTubeWhat things should cost TikTokLemon juicerAir FryerTrader Joe’s hit list episodePasta machineAlessandra’s InstagramChicken meatballs recipeShrimp couscousPasta amatricianaCilantro lime steak bowlsFollow Create & Consume:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | PinterestFollow Austen:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | BlogPodcast inquiries can be sent to [email protected] the website: https://www.createandconsumepodcast.com/Music credit: Babak Bazgosha via Pond5
