Cooking shouldn’t feel this hard anymore, and that’s exactly why COOKforTWO was born. In this episode I talk about how C42 is shifting the way empty nesters cook by making meals simpler, more intuitive, and way less stressful. It’s about letting go of the pressure to cook like we used to and finding new rhythms that fit the lives we have now. And then I talk with Jill from @cookingupmemoriesinsta about her own different cooking shift. That ones about condensed soup, y'all. So many changes, but always tasty food. Listen now!

Big news is coming! I’m finally almost ready to share what I’ve been hinting at for months: my brand-new project, Cook for Two. It’s been such a joy building this, and we’re so close to launch that I can hardly keep it to myself. And so in today's episode, I blather on about it a lot. I'm so excited!

In this episode, I also chat with Christine McMichael from Jar of Lemons about her best tips for getting quick and easy dinners on the table, even with picky eaters in the mix. Christine shares how she makes mealtime simpler for her family while keeping things healthy and fun.

As I relistened to our conversation, I couldn’t help thinking about how that same “quick and easy” mindset connects to cooking for two, although the reasons behind the desire for ease are a little different. I'll also say that a big perk of cooking for two is fewer pickiness restrictions because the fewer people you're cooking for, the more you get to focus on what you love to eat, without all the compromises.
