A slow cooker stew inspired by a classic dip, and a savory cornbread passed down for generations! Our best home cooking bites of the week

Have you ever struggled to get dinner on the table after a busy day? What if you could easily whip together a one-pot meal that’s dinner-party-worthy in your slow cooker? 

In this bite-sized episode, we share delicious moments about the best things we ate this week to inspire each other – and you! 

By the end of this episode, you’ll want to make a weeknight chicken stew that effortlessly braises in your slow cooker (or stove top!) and gets a fresh boost from pantry staples right before serving. You’ll also discover a classic cornbread recipe with irresistibly crispy edges (that’s naturally gluten-free) and comes together in minutes. 

Tune in for a quick dose of home cooking inspiration!
