Do you have more than one set of dishes in you cupboards? Do you find yourself reaching for dishes from one set more than the others? I have a hypothesis about why this is and it has to do with the dishwasher. Also, these are the Corelle dishes (affiliate link) that I mention that I use to replenish the ones that my mom got for her bridal shower nearly 50 years ago. I still have a lot of the originals and they're still my favorites. These new ones are the same, minus the brown flowered trim <3.

This week I also talk with cookbook author Emily Paster about her new book, Instantly Mediterranean: Vibrant and Satisfying Recipes for Your Instant Pot, Electric Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer (affiliate link). We talk all about Mediterranean food and how to translate those classic recipes and flavors to our favorite new appliances.
