This week’s guest is Amy Lauren Pottinger, the self-taught chef, food blogger, and caterer behind Caviar and Crayons, a food blog and catering service that focuses on elevated comfort food. Amy gained national attention when she auditioned and landed a spot on season 13 of Food Network Star. Since the show Amy has continued to grow her business and brand, while remaining rooted in her love of food. Amy is the proud military spouse of an Air Force fighter pilot, and she is also the proud mommy of two utterly adorable kiddos. 

In this episode, we talk about Amy’s journey to becoming a chef, her journey from blogger to becoming a Food Network Star contestant, how to incorporate new ingredients in your kids’ diet, how to repurpose one central dish for an entire week’s worth of unique meals, and how you can make your meals better starting tonight.
