Cooking Tips & Recipe Videos

Spinach Mushroom Quiche

A quiche is not only a quick brunch dish but also an easy dinner any time of year. Learn how to lighten yours up!

Chef Meg shows you how to properly slice and dice an onion, and she offers tips on doing it without shedding a single tear.

Chef Meg's Slow Cooker Pork with Greens and Beans

My kids love this recipe! They never complain about eating both beans and greens in one meal when they're served alongside rich, slow-cooked pork.

Life-Saving Lentil Soup

This soup fits my life! On days that we are occupied with homework and sports until dinnertime, I can mix this together in a flash and let the slow cooker do all the work.

Slimmer Sloppy Joes

If ever there was a kid-friendly recipe, this is it! My three boys love these--and my husband does, too.

Chef Meg's Spring Rolls

This is really more of a process than a recipe. Rice paper wrappers, which are available in the ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets these days, are a great way to wrap your veggies and protein for a quick snack or light lunch.
