Brown’s first cooking rule is all about flavor.
Her recipes are packed to the brim with flavors, seasonings and spices.
EatingWell: What are some recipes that have been in steady rotation for you lately?
Tabitha Brown:Well I just came back from three weeks of traveling for work and vacation.
I love mushrooms, I’m always doing something with them.
But recently, I was making portobello steaks, portobello ribs, portobello fajitas.
I’m just in a “mushroom thing” right now.
You know, they’re good for your brain, but they’re also a great meat substitute.
One of my favorite salads right now is with kale.
Listen: it is the best salad of your life.
You get a little pinch of salt and pepper on top if you want to.
It sounds so simple but the flavor is so good.
EatingWell: What are some of your refrigerator or pantry staples?
Tabitha Brown: Well, of course, garlic powder!
Avocados are a must.
I love avocado, whether it’s avocado toast or avocado on top of my scramble.
Oh and dill pickles!
Gotta have it.
I hate sweet pickles, but honey, I do love a Claussen dill pickle!
Tabitha Brown: Well, I always say, “Let’s start with our ‘why.'”
Why do we want to go on the journey?
EatingWell:What does “eating well” mean to you?
And I always want to feel well!
