Summary

#15: In this episode, I chat with my friend, Alex Snodgrass, the cookbook author and creator of The Defined Dish. Alex and I started chatting on Instagram a few months ago and instantly became friends and "colleagues" of sorts in the food blogging space. She is one of the most kind and down-to-earth women and I am so excited for you guys to hear more about her story. We dive into the back story of starting her "Whole30-ish" food blog and what inspired her to begin making recipes and share them with us. Alex creates the most delicious weeknight type recipes that recently turned into a cookbook that is also called, The Defined Dish. She shares more on the cookbook process in this episode and also what it was like traveling on her tour throughout the country. We dive into what it is like staying present in real life while also being with our families and also where she sees her business going next. For more from Alex, follow @thedefineddish and head on over to thedefineddish.com for more recipes + order her cookbook here. Thank you If You Care for sponsoring this episode! Their products are a staple in our home. I run through my favorites over on my amazon page and love using their baking sheets, parchment bags, roasting bags, muffin liners and their gloves are the best for cleaning (they save my manicures with dishes!). For more from me, head on over to @rachLmansfield and rachLmansfield.com. My cookbook, Just the Good Stuff is also officially in stores.

0:09.3	who is living the very glamorous life sitting on the floor in, I'm sitting on the floor in my closet
0:16.0	right now because we are all still quarantined right now and I am home with my husband and my 15 month old,
0:24.6	actually yeah, I returned 15 months yesterday, 15 month old son Ezra and I needed a quiet space.
0:31.6	So the closet floor it is. I tried the bathroom and I was a little too echoy. So I'm going to stick with my nice closet space and it's actually making me see all the places in my closet that we need to clean and dust a little bit.
0:45.3	But anyways, welcome back to the show.
0:48.0	In case you are new around here, my name is Rachel Mansfield and I am a cookbook author, recipe developer, podcast host, and currently

1:21.9	And, you know, I received a lot of feedback from you guys that you're enjoying episodes
1:27.1	and content and such that's
1:29.2	almost a distraction from what's going on. You know, there's a lot of podcasts that are focusing on
1:33.7	what to do in your quarantine, what to eat, how to sleep and how to breathe. And those are great.
1:38.8	And I listen to a lot of the daily updates on those as well. But I do want to provide and give content that you guys are
1:46.5	craving and interested in. So thank you so much for that feedback. And I will continue to do my
1:51.2	best and give you guys some content that could help distract us from the current situation.
