Winter is almost here, and with the change in the seasons often comes a change in how and what we cook.

Here's what I stock in my winter pantry- plus favorite winter recipes and must-have winter kitchen tools.

It's holiday baking time, and as many of you know- baking is not my forte. I can make a mean Christmas cookie or banana chocolate chip muffins, and I love making pizza dough- but the science around baking (and the accuracy and patience required) is not where I shine. But it IS where today's guest, Lex Daddio of Daddio's kitchen does! Lex Daddio creates twists on classic baking recipes from her home kitchen as one half of Daddio's Kitchen with her husband Thomas (and her three little boys running under foot). Lex's tried and true baked goods are loved far and wide by her followers on Instagram and her blog readers, and soon by her patrons at her new food trailer, Cream + Sugar Baking in Richmond, VA. I am so excited to re-introduce guests on the podcast, and today we are talking all things baking- holiday baking hacks, tips for making your baked goods come out the way you want them too, tips for making baking with kids enjoyable and less-stressed, and so much more!

So in today’s episode, I want to offer a wildly simple but effective tip to make your meals easier this holiday season.

You asked for it-- we’re talking about my favorite dinner shortcut- rotisserie chicken, and alllll the ways you can use a rotisserie chicken for easy dinners. 

Rotisserie chicken is probably the most versatile shortcut you can use– it’s why I love it so much! We grab a rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods probably 2 times a month. It’s inexpensive and great to use in multiple meals. Often, we’ll just grab a chicken and a salad kit and call it dinner- but a rotisserie chicken is an awesome option to use for easy meal prep for so many meals. Here are some of our favorite ways to use rotisserie chicken in your meal prep or weeknight meals.
