Remodeling your kitchen? It doesn't have to be a nightmare. We've got tips and an interview with a kitchen designer from Denver.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, the duo who's written almost three dozen cookbooks. In this episode, we'll give you our top tips for remodeling a kitchen (and what we'd do differently if we did it again). We'll also interview kitchen designer Bill Mickelsen to get his take on what you need to do in a kitchen remodel.

We've also got a one-minute cooking tip to keep your fingers safe in the kitchen. And we'll tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
