For those feeling like you've only been eating pasta for the past few days, this is for you! Simple recipes, just a few ingredients, using proteins you may already have in your freezer, and wilting greens before they go -- think, 5-ingredient steak and escarole. ?? Keep Calm. Cook On.

I made this video for you awhile back to help improve your technical skills, but I think it's good to share it with you now. Learning to properly sear food is essential to lock in flavors and make even the most basic ingredients delicious, so if you're quarantined and getting sick of plain chicken, I promise this will help change the game. Plus, it's an #EasyAF skill you'll be using for life! Stay healthy. Sending you love. ❤️ #cheflife #eeeeeats #whatsfordinner #howtocook #foodstagram #foodies #igfood
