SUMMER 2018 FABFITFUNTV PARTNER<\/h6>\n

It’s not every day we come across recipes that check off health, taste, and<\/em> presentation (#foodporn, anyone?). Well, Claire Thomas, blogger (The Kitchy Kitchen<\/a>) and TV host on ABC’s\u00a0Food for Thought With Claire Thomas<\/em>, took her background in food styling, writing, and photography to launch a lifestyle blog with recipes that hit the trifecta.<\/p>\n

From a hearty cauliflower\u00a0appetizer\u00a0to a time-saving one-pan chicken and summer-ready peach dessert, you can whip up a mean full-course meal with Thomas on FabFitFunTV now (sign up today<\/a> to\u00a0get cookin’!)<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, read on to learn how the food blogger finds the time to cook on a busy schedule, five ingredients she always has stocked in her fridge, and the life-changing kitchen item she swears by.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Where do you find inspiration to create new and original recipes?<\/strong><\/em>
\nThrough eating! I love exploring and tasting new things to find inspiration for flavor profiles and recipes.<\/p>\n

What has been your favorite meal to cook as of late?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI\u2019ve been joking with friends that everyone is either a pasta person or a pizza person. You can appreciate both but only one has your heart. I’m a pasta person, and I love how easy it is to create a delicious, fresh meal in under 20 minutes. I\u2019ll brown some butter, throw in whatever is fresh and tender from the farmers market, and finish off the bowl with plenty of parm.<\/p>\n

Any advice for working women who can\u2019t find time to cook?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI get it — I work in food and still can\u2019t find time to cook. Prep has become a great way for me to create shortcuts later in the week. For instance, if I\u2019m making something like lasagna or a bake, sometimes I\u2019ll make an extra one just for the freezer so I always have something in a pinch. I do the same with sauces and soups — I make extra and freeze it for later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are five ingredients you always have in your fridge\/pantry?<\/strong><\/em>
\nButter, eggs, milk, olive oil, and lemons.<\/p>\n

What kitchen item is worth investing in?<\/strong><\/em>
\nIf you love baking, a heavy duty mixer can be life-changing. I also love my food processor.<\/p>\n

Any tips on how to find quality ingredients at the most competitive price?<\/strong><\/em>
\nFor bulk items I always compare prices online — you can find really inexpensive staples, like vanilla beans, if you spend a little bit more time searching for the best price.<\/p>\n

Why should members try out your cooking videos?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI\u2019m all about delicious, beautiful food that’s secretly easy to make. I have a full-time job and a kid, so I don\u2019t have time to fuss over things or spend an entire afternoon making something. I need the food I make to be easy to whip together that tastes as good as it looks.<\/p>\n
