There can never be enough food-focused podcasts, in our eyes, and one ofEatingWell’s favorite celebs, Katie Lee Biegel, just added something to our listening rotation. The cook and co-host ofThe Kitchenjust launched her new podcast,All on the Table with Katie Lee Biegel, and her first guest was a star that she states “needs no introduction.”
Katie Lee Biegel Just Shared the Easiest Lower-Sugar Peach Crisp Recipe
“Cooking has transformed my life 1,000%, it’s everything to me,” Flay shares. “The way that I show my adoration to my friends and family is I cook for them.”
When asked what go-to dinner he cooks for himself, the chef had a clear answer.
“Very simple: it’s usually a piece of fish or a piece of chicken, and it’s usually a pan sauce with capers and lemon,” he says.
Focusing on a protein like chicken or fish is a simple way to ensure a satisfying plate.Proteinis an essential part of your diet as it supports muscle growth, bone health and will keep you full. Pairing it with a citrusy pan sauce will guarantee deliciousness, andcapersare an easy pantry item to quickly add a more complex, briny flavor to a savory dish. We think Flay would love our highly ratedWeeknight Lemon Chicken Skillet Dinneror ourLemon-Garlic Grilled Tilapiawith a simple spinach salad for a complete meal.
Another quick dinner Flay loves? Easy and cheesy pasta.
“One of the great things to eat is pasta with tomato sauce, Parmigiano cheese and some fresh basil, done,” he states. “I mean, it’s delicious, it’s always satisfying.” There’s nothing wrong with a fresh bowl of pasta, andpremade tomato saucemakes it all the more effortless. As for Biegel, she opts for lentil pasta for a quick source of protein and fiber in each bite.
Flay also shares that he loves an elevated pasta dish as his favorite pantry dinner, like cacio e pepe or carbonara. OurCacio e Pepe Pasta with Peasand ourButternut Squash Carbonara with Broccoliare our versions of the chef’s favorites that include fibrous veggies in each serving.
We’re all about these quick meals and the comforting, cozy dinner inspiration as we dream of cooler months. And we think including a side salad or mixing in veggies in each dish is a great way to incorporatemore fiberand nutrients into Flay’s favorites for a fulfilling and delicious meal.
