Episode description

What’s for dinner? The question that is asked around the world in every single

family!  For me personally, it’s enough to make my head spin.  I know many of my listeners struggle with dinner planning, options and variety.  Thankfully we have people like Jessica Formicola to help us navigate meal decision paralysis!

My guest is founder of Savory Experiments, former Psychotherapist, food critic, TV

personality and mom to two, Jessica Formicola. She is helping us to reframe how we can be in the kitchen and ditch the “I need to make dinner,” to “we are making dinner together” and cook together as a family.  In fact, our kids are more likely to eat what is served if they helped create it!

We are talking about using the 4’s in cooking which include, salt, seasonings,

sauces/swaps, and the 5 senses and how they enrich your meals and level up the

taste.  What I love about Jessica is that she doesn’t see anything wrong with frozen pizza or

mac and cheese in your meal rotation!  She makes them too, does drive thru on busy nights and wants you not to feel bad if you need a quick meal solution!  Hint, for all you busy families, she suggests casseroles to make your life easier!
