And thanks to the team @marinerbooksforbetterliving for setting them up. These segments will air (or have already aired!) in Portland OR, Denver, Nashville, Raleigh, Tampa, and Milwaukee. 😅 More to come next week! #bareminimumdinners #bts

🌟 I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be teaching an IRL cooking workshop next Friday @the_upstate_table in Kingston NY! Link to register in my bio.

We’ve decided to move ahead with cooking workshops for fall, doing it as safely as possible, taking one workshop at a time. 🤞

First up, FRIDAY, SEPT. 24, chef, cookbook author and Real Simple Food Director @jennahelwig joins us in the studio to share highlights from her new book Bare Minimum Dinners!

If you’re feeling in a Covid cooking rut, Jenna’s ideas for big flavor and simple prep may just be what you need. She’ll lead us through cooking her Chopped Salad, Kimchi Cabbage Cakes, Chile Lime Salmon and Tahini Coconut Noodles with Chicken. Plus everyone goes home with a signed copy of her book.

I was the food editor @parents for nearly seven years. It was my first magazine job, and I still can’t believe they hired me. I LOVED that job and learned so much. All this to say, I am thrilled and honored to see recipes from my new cookbook Bare Minimum Dinners excerpted in the beautiful October issue! When I wrote this book I was thinking of busy people who wanted to cook at home, but were short on time, inspiration, and energy…basically, parents!

The recipes you’ll find here: Miso Chicken Ramen, Bacon and Corn Frittata, Broccoli and Shrimp Orzo, Instant Pot Turkey Chili, and Baked Rigatoni. All easy and all yum!

A big thank you to @juliasedelstein @mirandanyc @agnethe12 @mrsfurlani @ywikiel @churwitz23 and all my other friends at Parents! 💜

So fun the see the Apple-Cheddar Dutch Baby from Bare Minimum Dinners over @epicurious! I feel like every time I talk about recipes from the book I say, “This one is SO easy…” 😂. Anyway, this one really is! And it’s delicious with a little hot sauce and/or maple syrup on top. Link in my bio! Epicurious copy and credits here:

Our Easiest Week Ever continues with breakfast for dinner. This puffy, golden apple and cheddar Dutch baby from cookbook author Jenna Helwig (@jennahelwig) is just the thing to get you through midweek. It only needs a few ingredients that you likely already have on hand and comes together in one pan in about 30 minutes. What are you waiting for? Grab the recipe at our link in bio, and head to our Stories to watch Associate Editor Joe Sevier (@pithzester) make it! Photo @j_deleo, Food Styling @kaitlinwayne

I started writing my new cookbook Bare Minimum Din

I started writing my new cookbook Bare Minimum Dinners in January 2020, with a deadline of July 2020. And, well, you know what happened in the interim. (One result of this timing is there are more pantry meals in this book than there might have been otherwise!)

No surprise that one of the normal book things that was up in the air was the photo shoot. Amazingly, thanks to my publisher @marinerbooksforbetterliving and the incredible photo team—photographer @linda.xiao, food stylist @monicapierini, and prop stylist @maeve_sheridan —we were able to pull it off safely in September 2020. I was on set for a couple days of the six day shoot, we all wore masks, of course, and ate our lunches in opposite corners of the studio. After she took each photo, Linda printed out a copy for the wall so we could see them all together. Watching these recipes come to life was SO exciting, especially since Linda, Monica, and Maeve are so extraordinary at their jobs. I am so grateful for their beautiful work under difficult circumstances! And did I mention that they are lovely human beings? They are, 💯.

Bare Minimum Dinners will be in bookstores and in your mailbox in one short week, on September 7! I can’t wait to share these easy recipes and gorgeous photos with you!

When I pitched the idea for Bare Minimum Dinners,

When I pitched the idea for Bare Minimum Dinners, my new cookbook, I wasn’t yet working @real_simple. That came just a couple months later, and I think it must have been pre-ordained by the gods of simplicity and ease 😊. I am so excited and grateful to have the magazine feature the book and some of my favorite recipes in it: Whole Wheat Pasta With Chard and Pine Nuts, Lemony Chopped Salad With Pita (the cover star!!), Slow-Cooker Deep Dish Pizza (you heard that right), Fish Stick Tacos, Saucy Simmered Eggs, and Kimchi-Cabbage Cakes. These recipes are EASY crowd-pleasers, and I think you will love them! Get all the recipes at the link in my bio (and, of course, for more yumminess like this, buy my book! Link also in my bio).

A super-big thank you to @lizvaccariello and @rorevans for your endless support. @ananda_eidelstein 😘 And thank you to our incredible design team @emilykehe @deanna_lowe @lwrncjmsw and @linalegare. And, of course the talented folks @meredithfoodstudios for making this story such a stunner:
