    Holiday Baking Hacks with Lex Daddio of Daddio's Kitchen

    Holiday Baking Hacks with Lex Daddio of Daddio's Kitchen

    It's holiday baking time, and as many of you know- baking is not my forte. I can make a mean Christmas cookie or banana chocolate chip muffins, and I love making pizza dough- but the science around baking (and the accuracy and patience required) is not where I shine. But it IS where today's guest, Lex Daddio of Daddio's kitchen does! Lex Daddio creates twists on classic baking recipes from her home kitchen as one half of Daddio's Kitchen with her husband Thomas (and her three little boys running under foot). Lex's tried and true baked goods are loved far and wide by her followers on Instagram and her blog readers, and soon by her patrons at her new food trailer, Cream + Sugar Baking in Richmond, VA. I am so excited to re-introduce guests on the podcast, and today we are talking all things baking- holiday baking hacks, tips for making your baked goods come out the way you want them too, tips for making baking with kids enjoyable and less-stressed, and so much more!

Inspiring!

I have been following Kris and cooking her recipes for a couple of years now. They are always spot on, and many of them have made it onto our family favorite list. This podcast, like everything she does, is high quality. If you’re in a food rut she will get you out of it. Need to brush up on your kitchen skills? She can help you with that. Or maybe you need tips for budgeting your grocery shopping or streamlining your kitchen routine and meal planning. Kris has you covered. Plus she’s just a super kind human. I also highly recommend the cooking club over on Patreon! So worth it!

Finding Joy in the Kitchen as a Mama of 2

I recently started a journey of trying to find more joy while in my kitchen. As a mama of 2 (7mo & 2yo) I spend sooooo much of my time in the kitchen getting food together or cleaning up and truly it’s my least favorite. I love good food but it always tastes better when I don’t have to cook or clean. Finding this podcast and Kris’s IG page has given me hope! With helpful tips and a plethora of recipes, I feel like I am on a path to feel comfortable and dare I say able to find joy in my kitchen for the first time in my life. THANK YOU KRIS! 🤍👩🏼‍🍳

5 Star Review

As a mother of two teenagers, mealtime has always been daunting, and then COVID hit. I started listening to Health Mama Kitchen Podcast right at the beginning of COVID. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have come across this incredible resource at such a difficult time. Kris helped me navigate the challenges of weekly meal planning by offering easy-to-follow guidance that allowed me to prepare healthy and nutritious meals without spending a ton of time in the kitchen. Her focus on creating a stress-free meal environment was especially helpful during a period of unprecedented uncertainty.

Kris's extensive knowledge in culinary nutrition has been invaluable in simplifying my meal plan and making healthy eating easy, fun, and delicious. Her weekly planning tips and meal prep hacks have removed all the stress of weekday dinners, instead making it inspiring and fun.

As if the podcast wasn't enough, I joined The Healthy Mama Cooking Club, which has provided a new level of inspiration and creativity to my daily meal prep. Thanks to her delicious recipes and fresh ideas, my teenagers have ventured outside their comfort zones and tried new foods - something I never thought possible. It's been a delightful surprise to hear them comment on my cooking skills and request certain dishes for dinner.

The Healthy Mama Kitchen Podcast has been a real game-changer for my family and our approach to weeknight meals and healthy eating. I highly recommend it to any mama looking for practical and sustainable ways to make nutritious meals for her family. Kris, thank you for making mealtime a stress-free, enjoyable, and tasty experience.
