You can have it all—healthy, delicious, and actually crave-worthy. This week, we’re joined by the brilliant and bubbly Samah Dada—cookbook author, wellness creator, and the force behind the cult-favorite blog Dada Eats. She’s here to prove that clean eating doesn’t have to mean boring, and that indulgent recipes can still be nourishing. From her viral avocado cream pasta to the frozen date desserts that taste like Reese’s, Samah shares her go-to summer staples, pantry must-haves, and the five spices that will change your cooking forever. We dive into her journey from The Today Show to building her own brand, how she healed her body after a PCOS diagnosis, and why flavor (and fun) are the key ingredients to feeling good.
