This week, we're talking about one of our favorite parts of summer, getting together with people over food. In this episode, we're getting into all things potlucks and group gatherings, from the nostalgia of food to the practical side of actually hosting a group meal.
We talk through what makes a potluck successful, what dishes hold up well (and which ones you might want to reconsider), how to handle dietary needs for your guests, and why a themed potluck might be the best idea you haven't tried yet! We also get into the stressful parts of hosting, and share some advice for making it feel more enjoyable and less overwhelming.
This week, we're talking about the full lifecycle of food in our homes, from the moment it's planned all the way to the moment it's eaten (or thrown away).
We talk through the most common breakdown points in the planning, cooking, and shopping, and why every ingredient needs a clear purpose. We also cover how to shop your fridge and pantry before you head to the store, how to build flexibility into your meal plan, and what it looks like to treat your leftovers with the same intention as a planned meal. Enjoy!
