A Family Affair with Angela and Alison
Episode 19 Season 2: I took notes so you didn’t have to…. So grab your apron and let's get into it!
I am a lover of people. I love making friends. I am really good at and keeping in touch with them for decades. It’s one of my super powers for sure. Ang and Ali are some of those friends who I have known my entire life. Our families have always been close and they are truly so much more than just old friends but family for sure which is why I am excited to share this conversation with all of you.
We talk about a lot of things but one thing that has been brought up time and time again on recent episodes of the podcast is the new Half Baked Harvest Cookbook. I have been cooking from it for a few months now and it’s a total winner. I have loved Tieghan’s blog for a long time and her first cookbook but this new one is a total chef’s kiss!
Many times over we have chatted about how to host effortless events. One thing that Ali said during our conversation that really stood out to me was, “A messy kitchen is more inviting”. Love that thought. I fall into the camp of trying to do my best to pick up and clean before people come over but honestly our big fluffy baby, Oliver, sheds so much that even after we vacuum there is fluff everywhere. And we love having the windows open so there tends be a little more dust than I would like. We don’t live in filth but we totally have a lived in look to our home when people come by. I also never fully clean the kitchen because I am always in it. So hearing that line it almost took a weight off my shoulders a little bit and I host all the time.
Angela is known for her amazing chicken wings and she loves to cook them in the air fryer! She doesn’t have an exact recipe because she literally “wings it” (sorry I had to) every time. But here’s one to get you started. Also she loves a ginger garlic sauce!
So you are traveling with family and trying to save a little bit of money. Both Ali and Angela each have two kids and love traveling with them. One of the ways Ali and her family like to save a little bit of money while traveling is to do is to get great take out from local spots and create indoor and outdoor picnics with the kids. You can eat some yummy food, bring your own adult bevies and have it all on your own time line while saving a little bit of money in the process. Angela loves to stay in Air Bnb’s and cook together as a family. It gives her a change to shop at local markets and support those smaller markets and shops as well as saving a little bit of money.
We all spoke about a few organizations we wanted to shine some light on. I listed them below if you were looking for a few places to donate to or learn more about.
