Prepare Dinner On The Fly With These Cooking Basics From @lifeisbutadish Creator Laney Schwartz

I’m joined by Laney Schwartz, the founder and creator behind Life Is But A Dish, a food blog with over 600 reliable recipes that use simple everyday ingredients. She also has a program called Cook with Confidence to help the overwhelmed and anxious home cook learn how to build foundational cooking skills for life. In our conversation, she breaks down exactly what’s included in that course and how she helps inspire a sense of playfulness and creativity in the kitchen. Laney and I also chat about how to build balanced meals, save money at the grocery store, and set your kitchen up for success. We discuss our different approaches to meal planning for the week and strategies for dealing with picky eaters. Plus, Laney opens up about how she juggles all the different hats that she wears and her top tools for overcoming the pressure to be perfect. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:How Laney transitioned from teacher to food blogger Laney’s tips for achieving juicy, flavorful chicken every single time The number one item that everyone should have in their kitchen Creating a healthy meal without breaking the bank Tips for reinventing your leftovers What to splurge vs. save on when food shopping How Laney got the fruit and veggie hater in her family to become a more adventurous eater RESOURCESUse code GILLEAN for $100 off the Cook With Confidence Program at lifeisbutadish.com/gillean!Redmond SaltThrive Market Bitchin' Sauce No-Fuss Vegetarian Lasagna  Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs Top 10 Life is but a Dish Recipes of All Time  CONNECT WITH LANEYFollow Laney on Instagram: @lifeisbutadishCheck out Life is but a Dish: lifeisbutadish.comCONNECT WITH GILLEANFollow Gillean: @itsgilleanFollow What’s For Dinner Club: @whatsfordinnerclub.officialLet’s TikTok: @itsgilleanText FREE to (866) 551-1989 to try What’s For Dinner ClubLearn more about GilleanListen to more episodes of It’s Gillean
