Betina and Jen discover they have diametrically opposite versions of a perfect night at home. Even though she recently relocated from California to the Midwest, Betina is closer to home than she’s ever been. After years spent feeling homeless within herself, Jen decks out her house with everything her childhood self would have wanted and describes how she transformed her value system to bring family into the center. Betina teaches Jen how to cook with abandon and abundance, never leaving out the secret ingredient of love.
