Season 2, Episode 10: A Culinary Blend - Crafting Everyday Eats with Jessica Hollows

In this episode, we're whisking you away into the delicious world of everyday eats with the incredibly talented Jesseca Hallows of One Sweet Appetite. As a self-taught home chef and author, Jesseca has mastered the art of simplicity in the kitchen, crafting go-to recipes that are both fast and fabulous.

Join us as we chat with Jesseca about her journey, her passion for creating easy recipes with pantry staples, and how she's turned her culinary challenges into a thriving blog and cookbook series. Whether you're a busy parent or just someone who loves a good meal without the fuss, Jessica's approach to food is all about making life tastier and easier.

We dive into the versatility of sheet pan meals, the charm of cupcakes, and the surprising joy of tinfoil dinners. Plus, Jesseca shares her top tips for meal planning on a budget, prepping ingredients for the week, and making the most of your freezer for those hectic days.

But it's not all about the human palate! Jessica and Julie share a heartwarming discussion on homemade dog treats, proving that our furry friends deserve a seat at the table too. Get the recipe: https://www.juliehoagwriter.com/2020/08/05/homemade-dog-treats-with-rolled-oats-dogs-will-love/ And skip the cheese if desired, the recipe works great without any cheese as well. Mix it up and use different fruit/veggie flavors too! I just made this today using apple, pumpkin, turkey, and sweet potato baby food and my dogs gobble it up!
