This episode features easy recipes for a plum crumb bar and a one-skillet summer dinner.

What do you make when you want a homemade dessert that feels special, but takes almost no effort to bake? In this bite-sized episode, we share the best things we ate this week to inspire each other — and you! By the end of this episode, you’ll want to make a buttery plum jam crumb bar inspired by Sonya’s grandmother. It’s beginner-friendly, and so delicious you’ll want to eat the whole tray as soon as it comes out of the oven. You’ll also discover a recipe for a quick one-skillet dinner made with sweet summer corn and chew rice cakes, and flavored with nutty miso + brown butter.
