This episode is for you if you’re looking for inspiration in the kitchen.

I am so excited to welcome Tieghan Gerard of Half Baked Harvest to the show. I have loved her website and her recipes for years and now she has a new cookbook out called Super Simple: More Than 125 Recipes for Instant, Overnight, Meal-Prepped, and Easy Comfort Food.

In our quick chat, Tieghan tells me about how she came from a family of 9, and as a teenager took on the bulk of cooking dinners for the family. This led to starting her food blog at the age of NINETEEN.

She’s built a really impressive food empire online and I love hearing about her team (made up of family!) and how she wrote Super Simple as a response to the reader feedback who needed easy dinners for a busy life.

FYI: Her first cookbook Half Baked Harvest is also amazing. Both of these books would make for great gifts this holiday season.

I hope this conversation is just the shot of inspiration you need to get in the mood for holiday cooking and time around the table.

This place is about connection, with each other and with ourselves. We can only do this by opening our eyes and seeing others and (even harder) by letting ourselves be seen.

Let’s tell our stories.

Let’s share our stuff.

I’ll go first.
