This week’s episode is brought to you by Breyers® CarbSmart

You asked for it, you got it! Another What We’re Eating Now episode — and an extra special one, too, if you ask us. Not only has spring sprung, bringing us some of the best ingredients of the year, but we’re also still in quarantine. How do these two things interact? What are we finding at the markets? How are we finding joy in cooking when we’ve been cooking non-stop for weeks and weeks? We answer all of these burning questions, and hopefully reinvigorate your cooking as we do.

What We’re Cooking Now

These are normally our favorite episodes to record; we love sharing what we are cooking with you. But still in quarantine, we’re tired of cooking too. Did we really have anything new to offer?

As we dove into recording, we realized that we do. We’re actually cooking a lot of new stuff and approaching some of our cooking differently too. More than that, we realized that talking it through with each other helps bring the inspiration. We hope that listening to this week’s episode reinvigorates your cooking as well.

Stacie is obsessed! And, honestly, so are her kids and Meghan, too, and none of them watch carbs or care about much of anything when it comes to frozen treats except TATSE! And these TASTE DELICIOUS.

Breyers CarbSmart comes in tons of flavors in both tubs (vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter) and bars (almond, vanilla, fudge, mint fudge and caramel swirl). It’s PERFECT for your next sweets craving.
