Meet cookbook author and instructor Carla Snyder and learn about the key ingredients you'll want to include in your pantry for making quick, easy and flavorful meals for two. Carla will also make parsley pesto and an orange rosemary gremolata, two fresh condiments that dress up countless meals!
Sauté your way to a delicious dinner, whether it's seared chicken breasts with hearty kale or cheese-stuffed pork chops and mango salsa. Carla shows how to turn the pan juices into a simple sauce for an elegant touch that couldn't be easier.
Roasting is a great "fix it and forget it" method of cooking. Carla explains the difference between conventional and convection roasting, then shares a roasted vegetable recipe and shows how to sear and roast rib-eye steaks. Another quick option is miso-roasted salmon with broccoli. Yum!
Let grilling be your go-to method no matter what the season; it's quick and easy with minimal cleanup. Learn about the different grilling options, both indoors and out, then grill up some steak fajitas with Carla's guidance. Or try kebabs of vegetables and prosciutto-wrapped shrimp, an elegant and easy dinner for two.
Go meatless -- deliciously! Even non-vegetarians will appreciate these tasty and healthy meals that are quick to prepare. Carla suggests some hearty grains, legumes and other pantry staples to keep on hand, then prepares a Korean rice bowl and a lentil-based stew.
Eggs aren't just for breakfast! Get tips on shopping for the freshest eggs and discover Carla's recipe for a fabulous bacon and vegetable frittata. Or expand your horizons with shakshuka, a Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce.
Look forward to leftovers! A little bit of this and that combined with pantry staples can make a whole new meal. Carla discusses ways to revitalize ingredients and create no-shop meals such as linguini with tuna or savory fried rice. You'll have dinner for two on the table in no time!
