Hey there, friend! Are you feeling overwhelmed by the thought of cooking dinner tonight? We've been there. In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, we're diving into the world of easy, delicious meals that won't drain your energy or your wallet. In this second installment of their two-part series, Kathi Lipp and Tonya Kubo continue their discussion about Kathi's new book, Sabbath Soup , offering practical tips and strategies for stress-free meal planning and cooking. They discuss the importance of valuing both time and energy when it comes to meal preparation, and offer encouragement to listeners who may feel overwhelmed by the daily task of feeding their families. Listeners will discover: The importance of cooking ahead and freezing leftovers for low-energy days Strategies for involving family members in meal planning and preparation The value of establishing clear expectations and dividing kitchen responsibilities Insights into the recipes featured in Sabbath Soup and their ease of use for both novice and experienced cooks Listeners will leave this episode with practical strategies for making meal planning and preparation less stressful and enjoyable, even during busy or low-energy periods. And as promised: Kathi's Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Hint: This dough can be frozen as pre-scooped balls or ready-to-slice logs. Prep Time: 20 Minutes Bake Time: 10 minutes Yield: 112 cookies (recipe may be halved) Ingredients: 5 cups oatmeal 2 cups butter, room temperature 2 cups granulated sugar 2 cups brown sugar 4 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 4 cups flour 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 24 oz. chocolate chips 1 8 oz. Hershey bar, grated 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2. Measure the oatmeal and place it in a blender to blend into a fine powder. 3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir to combine with the butter mixture, then stir in the flour, blended oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate and nuts. 4. Scoop the dough into balls and place about 12 to a cookie sheet, evenly spaced, baking in batches. Bake for 10 minutes. 5. To freeze for later baking: Flash freeze scooped dough balls on a cookie sheet. Individually frozen dough balls are easier to handle and will keep their shape better when transferred to a freezer bag for longer-term storage. Alternately, form the dough into a log about 2 inches around and wrap in plastic wrap. Put the dough in the bag and write baking directions on the bag. I like to experiment with the cookies and find out what the baking time and temp is for frozen dough as well as thawed dough. Bake for 10 minutes, and then keep checking every 2 minutes to get them just perfect. Did you miss Part 1 of this conversation?

Stuffed Italian Zucchini Boats with Italian Sausage Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 35 minutes Ingredients: 4 medium zucchini 1 lb. Italian sausage 1 large onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano Salt and pepper, to taste 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 2 tablespoons olive oil Directions: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet or dish. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and use a spoon or melon baller to hollow out the centers, leaving about a 1/4 inch thick zucchini "boat". Place the zucchini on the baking sheet. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent. Add the diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for a few more minutes. Add back the sausage and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined. Spoon the sausage mixture into each zucchini boat, pressing it down and filling to the top. Top each zucchini boat with a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Did you miss #634 Time Saving Strategies For Busy Cooks: Sabbath Soup Secrets ? Listen in now.

Do you ever say you'll start holiday prep early, but then suddenly it's December and you're in a tinsel-covered panic? Well, no more! In this episode, Kathi and co-host Tonya Kubo dive into part two of their discussion on preparing for the holidays in August. They offer practical advice for early holiday planning. Kathi and Tonya emphasize the importance of considering family needs, budgeting, and self-care in the planning process. Listeners will discover: How to plan for those perfect holiday photos How to plan for budget-friendly holiday travel How to create a realistic holiday decor plan (even if your husband Roger thinks there's no such thing as too many Christmas lights.) Throughout the episode, Kathi and Tonya offer relatable anecdotes and practical strategies to help listeners reduce holiday stress by planning ahead. Kathi shares her love for early holiday meal planning and cookbook perusing in this episode. She mentions one of her favorite recipes called Raclette. Check out Raclette photos in the banner as well as the recipe below! Raclette 3 to 7 oz. raclette cheese per person, sliced to fit the small trays under the raclette grill. (We find this at Trader Joe’s and at some of the fancier stores from around November through February, and we’ve even found it on Amazon.) 4 to 6 potatoes new potatoes per person, boiled with the skins on. (You have better things to do with your life than peel tiny potatoes.) Optional Ingredients: Everything else is what you like or have on hand. That’s the beauty of this meal—you get to make it what you love. Here are some ideas: bacon, beef fillet, thickly sliced, pork sausage, zucchini, thickly sliced, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, white pearl onions, bell peppers, thickly sliced, cornichons or pickled gherkins (traditional dinners call for sweet pickles, but we only use dill), pickled baby corn, asparagus, crusty hearty bread, barbecue sauce or ketchup (I have found this to be a game changer) Directions 1. Turn the raclette grill on to medium-high heat. 2. If you are using bacon, place the slices on the grill plate and cook to your liking. 3. Use the bacon fat to cook the other ingredients. (If you are not using bacon, simply brush the grill plate with some olive oil.) 4. Place some meat and vegetables on the hot grill plate. (When we have vegetarians or vegans visiting, we use two grills. You could even just use a tabletop skillet for the veggies and the raclette skillet for the cheese and meat.) 5. While the meat and vegetables are cooking on the grill plate, place slices of raclette cheese on the small trays and put them under the heating element. 6. Slice or smash the potatoes on your plate. Scrape the melted raclette cheese out of the tray and serve it over the warm potatoes. It is also common to place the melted cheese over the cooked vegetables. Some people even put slices of potatoes into the handled trays so that the cheese melts directly on top. About eight people can use one raclette set at a time. This is a warm, hearty dinner that is a universal hit at our house and with our guests. If you want to keep the whole meal on the tabletop, you can even use it to prepare dessert. Just clean off the grill and roast marshmallows over it to create tabletop s’mores. (Is there a better way to end a meal than with chocolate and marshmallows?)
