Being a home chef is no easy task. A commercial kitchen often has an entire crew of people to ensure everything runs at top efficiency, but those of us at home normally run a team of just one (or 2, if you're lucky). That means it's crucial to have all the right tools and equipment to make your meals (and life) much easier. All the kitchen equipment on this list can be found in our kitchen, and our success in the kitchen is, in great part, thanks to these items. Just so you know, we may collect a share of sales from the links on this post, but you will not pay more … [Read more...]

Meal Planning 101
Meal planning. It sounds daunting and scary and definitely not something else you can possibly fit into your hectic schedule, right? WRONG. First of all, I believe in you, and you want to know why? Because if I, the queen of taking the easy road, can do it...so can you!

Having lived in Nashville my whole life, I'm a little biased when I say that it is truly awesome. However, in the last few years, we have really made our way up in the world and are a bit...dare I say, trendy.
