Yes, my measuring spoons do get super chatty. ⁠ Seriously though, did you know that digestion begins at the sight and smell of food? I'm sure even the sound of sizzling plays a part. The body primes itself to absorb nutrients as the food is being prepared—just one more reason to consider cooking at home more often. ⁠ ⁠ Check out the blog for recipes with step-by-step instructions.
