Summary

Did you know we’re spending over 11% of our disposable income on food—the highest amount since 1991? It’s time to take control of our grocery bills and find joy in the kitchen. That’s why we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with New York Times food columnist Melissa Clark, author of Dinner in One, and over 40 other cookbooks. Melissa shares her genius tips for cutting down on time and effort in the kitchen while maximizing flavor. From one-pan wonders to her philosophy of simplifying recipes (and minimizing cleanup), she makes cooking accessible—even for those who think they’re too “lazy” to cook. Plus, Melissa talks about her must-have pantry staples, freezer essentials, and why she no longer keeps potatoes on hand. Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here.
