Cooking Tips & Recipe Videos

Tex Mex Calzones (Chef Meg's Makeover)

An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal.

Baked Chicken with Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes (Chef Meg's Makeover)

This dish has 20 cloves of garlic, which become sweet and mild when roasted. Chef Meg took this member-submitted recipe and made a few changes to add flavor without fat and calories.

Chef Meg's Roasted Chicken with Herb Oil

Roasted chicken is a simple and versatile protein. Use it in soups, throw it on pasta or pair it with a simple salad. Tip: Save time and energy by roasting two chickens at once and freezing one (carve it first).

How do you separate an egg without breaking the yolk or making a mess? Chef Meg shows you how--no fancy gadget needed!

Chef Meg's Vegetable Risotto

Risotto is a rich, creamy but time-consuming dish. Usually made with arborio rice, which is a short-grained white variety, this version uses brown to boost the fiber and nutrition.

Spinach Salad with Cherries and Pomegranate Vinaigrette

If ever there was proof that salads don't have to be boring to be healthy, this is it.
