Some people love to cook. Patrick, for instance-with 5 kids, has developed a love of being in the kitchen. Jo-Anna, who spent years eating in the best restaurants for free as a Chef Concierge...not so much.

But, inevitably, if you want to live a healthier-happier life, you'll need to make the kitchen & cooking-your friend! So, we've combined our experiences in the kitchen, to share hacks that have made our kitchen duties, fast, fun & delicious!

From Jo-Anna:

-Don't wash your mushrooms before you sauté them. It ruins their texture & water-logs their flavor. Just pat them to remove the excess dirt, then toss them in oil & spices. You'll taste the delicious difference.

-Want a great sauce Alfredo without a 3-hour stint at the stove? Melt down a package of Boursin spread. Add a bit of wine or lemon juice, & extra spices.Voilà, an Alfredo worthy of your tavolo.

-Don't want to eat nutrition-deficient piecrusts? Try making your quiche or fritatta with a sprinkling of panko crumbs on top.You'll get the crunchy carbo-hit, without the colon-clogging white flour.

-Preferred gadget: Fullstar Vegetable Chopper-Spiralizer-Slicer
