This week I'm talking with Roger Anderson, host of the cooking podcast The Kitchen Counter, about how he got into podcasting and our mutual love of podcasts as a form of passive learning. Roger also has a robust private group on Facebook, The Kitchen Counter Coffee Break, for home cooks to share cooking tips and recipes.

The meal plan that I walk you through in this episode features recipes that use Easter leftovers. This week we are cooking up Spaghetti Carbonara to use up some of that leftover ham and the BEST Egg Salad (spoiler alert: it has bacon in it!).  Head over to COOKtheSTORY.com/MealPlans to get the meal plan with links to recipes, and the printable grocery list that goes with it. This one is Meal Plan #81.
