OK, I love love this interview <3 I've been following Alexis since the Tasty days so delighted for this new cookbook. A fun one for a speedy dinner, there's a version of a garlicky lemony breadcrumb over spaghetti and a fried egg on top that just ticks all the boxes and is ready in like 15 minutes. My favorite thing to make when I want food NOW but want more than just buttered noodles!
My family loves it when I cook Sausage, kale and beans. It’s easy and everyone knows how to cook it so if I start and have to rush to yoga, the next person home takes over. We only have it when just the three of us are eating. No one wants to share.
Ok so this one requires a bit of self-awareness and foresight into whether or not I’ll be up to cooking, but easily “no fail roast chicken”. I’ve made it enough times that I have it memorized and it’s just a few simple ingredients. Put them in the pan, put it in the oven and voila! Amazing dinner with very little effort - just need to factor in the cooking time
"Cooking" is used loosely here, but tuna melts with sweet and spicy jalapeno relish, good mayo, sourdough, hopefully salty chips on hand. Whatever the crisper has in it. Just can't be bothered dinner, yet tasty.
Pasta + tomato + butter! That was my go-to COVID meal and now that my cherry tomatoes are coming in I’m taking advantage! Thanks for the book recommendation too 😍
Love this interview and excited for the cookbook! When I don't want to cook at all, I toss fresh or frozen veggies in the oven with a spritz of EVOO and some garlic salt. Instant comfort and nutrition!
I live *just* outside of the Catskills! I often make chicken tikka masala (using jarred sauce) when I want something yummy but quick and easy for dinner
*immediately adds Nights and Weekends to reading list*
When it’s hot and I’m too tired and sweaty to cook, I love a summery dinner sandwich: fresh bread (or a leftover croissant), burrata, sliced peach, drizzled with Gaby Dalkin’s basil vinaigrette.
When I’m too tired to cook, we have a “picnic.” I get a variety of cheeses out of the fridge, add some really crusty bread from the bakery across the street, slice up some local tomatoes with basil from the garden and fresh mozzarella, and put some prosciutto and sliced soppresetta on a platter. Slice up some fruit that’s in season, and grab olives and roasted peppers from the fridge. Break out the fancy crackers from the pantry. Open a bottle of wine. It’s perfect. :)
Pasta carbonara checks all of my boxes and makes my kids happy, too!

Oh my gosh! I love when people have seen this very long journey play out. I hope you love the cookbook ❤️❤️❤️

Quesadillas! Tortillas in the freezer make this an easy meal with whatever is in the crisper or hanging out as leftovers

Perfect. No notes.
Fancy grilled cheese. Some sharp cheddar, prosciutto, thinly sliced apples. It feels fancier than a sandwich and hits all the notes I’m looking for.
Oven baked quesadillas with beans cheese and chicken! Quick for family meals and a party fav as well!
Truly - what a quesadilla won’t do!

Perfection!
Balsamic penne with asparagus

So simple!!

My lazy, go-to dinner is steamed shrimp with Old Bay + some type of roasted potato or veggie. Dinner can be done in less than 15 minutes.

That sounds incredible!
For us, it's Sweet Paul's Chicken Thighs with Olives, Lemons, and Capers. This new book looks incredible!
