How to Cook a Little Smarter Every Week

Tune in for episode 9 of Burnt Toast! (Want to catch up? Listen to our past episodes here.)

Today we dedicate our whole episode to a roundtable on meal planning: Amanda, Merrill, and Kenzi answer questions from our staff and community about how to cook smarter every week. Highlights include refrigerator graveyards, condiment guilt, and why avocado toast is a little like comfortable underwear.

For those of you interested in the recipes we mention in the episode, here's a list:

• Flank Steak with Green Sauce
• Warm Chicken Salad
• Blueberry Schlumpf
• Nigella Lawson's Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake
• Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter
