If you've ever rushed into the kitchen and frantically tried to throw dinner together—or if that's how you always cook—you know that feeling of fight-or-flight doesn't actually make for a tastier meal. Nicki Sizemore, the author of Mind, Body, Spirit, Food, chats with The Dinner Plan's host Maggie Hoffman about how she gets out of that state of stress at the end of the day—and gets more out of the cooking process as a result. Nicki shares advice for getting through the dark days of winter, tips on cooking when you just don't feel inspired, and a few recipes she loves to make when the weather's cold. Head to The Dinner Plan's newsletter at TheDinnerPlan.Substack.com for a recipe from Nicki and a chance to win a copy of the book.
