Kelsey treats us to a simple technique that cooks up some winning creations: a savory Sausage, Bacon and Duck Confit ready in just 45 minutes; a Chicken Cacciatore flavored with onion, mushrooms, red peppers and garlic; and a steamy Fish Stew or Bouillabaisse featuring clams, mussels and shrimp. Amazing to eat and only one pot to clean up!

Mary Berg is making low-effort recipes that cook slowly while filling the house with the most delicious aromas. Porchetta is two meals in one, starting with a pork dinner with sausage and pancetta filling slow roasted over a bed of fennel.

Mary Berg works smarter, not harder with some kitchen relay meal prep that starts with a Tex-Mex Chicken skillet.

The final stop in the kitchen relay combines all the remaining bits from the last three meals into a Leftover Sausage and Chicken Soup.
This one-pot dish is perfect for a weeknight meal. The corn provides a depth of flavor while the sausage and chicken create a meaty broth perfect to spoon over a bed of rice.
