168 Hours of Meals: We All Have to Eat! EP 379

In '168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think,' Laura Vanderkam challenges the common narrative that people are starved for time. After interviewing dozens of successful and happy individuals, she found that they allocate their time differently, prioritizing important activities over lesser ones. The book provides strategies for optimizing time use, such as logging your time, focusing on core competencies, outsourcing non-essential tasks, and making the most of downtime. Vanderkam argues that with careful planning and discipline, it is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise regularly, pursue hobbies, and maintain quality time for work, family, and other important aspects of life.

In 'Dinner in One', Melissa Clark offers a collection of one-dish recipes that include sheet pan, skillet, pasta, Dutch oven, and casserole dinners. These recipes are designed to be cooked in under one hour, using streamlined steps to minimize kitchen time and cleanup. The book includes a variety of international flavors and ingredients, and many recipes have options for vegetarian and vegan adaptations. It also features a chapter on one-bowl cakes for easy dessert options.
