Marisa is on maternity leave, and today I’m with author and New York Times contributor, Anna Goldfarb.

First up, in the food news segment, we talk about a recent New York Times opinion piece, Opinion: To Treat Chronic Ailments, Fix Diet First. Duh.

In our What’s for Dinner segment, Anna outlines her standby dish: turkey pasta.

And in the How’d You Make That? segment this week, we’ve got sweet potato tacos al pastor. Recipe here!

We talk about how strategic use of bottled or packaged ingredients helps us make dinner faster and more interesting. Special shout out to Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce.

And finally, in What We’re Loving, Anna tells all about her favorite Penzey’s seasoning blend: Fox Point. Ingredients: salt, freeze-dried shallots, chives, garlic, onion and green peppercorns.
