All on the Table with Katie Lee Biegel

More vegetables, less effort—and yes, we’re talking about poop! This week on All on the Table, I’m chatting with Carleigh Bodrug, the creator of PlantYou, about her new cookbook, Quickies, and making plant-based cooking work for real life.

Carleigh shares how becoming a mom has changed the way she cooks, easy ways to add more vegetables to everyday meals, and why she’s always sounding the “fiber alert.” We talk about why so many Americans aren’t getting enough fiber and her hilariously named series, “Soups That Make You Poop.” Whether you’re plant-based...

I always love when my husband, Ryan, joins me. He's back for a conversation about something we’re both trying to get better at: being present for the life we’re living right now. So many everyday moments can feel exhausting or chaotic, like getting dinner on the table, or trying to put your child to bed, but these are the moments we will long for one day. What may seem like an ordinary family meal actually means so much , so let's appreciate this time while we are still in it.

I immensely enjoyed my conversation with Chef Kwame Onwuachi. His new cookbook, All Hours, is filled with recipes of the kind of food we all really want to eat. Chef Kwame is one of the most celebrated chefs in the country, yet he is so down to earth and real. We shared a lot of laughs about our shared love of Taco Bell and McDonald's, the ups and downs of feeding our kids, and he described his formative years growing up in both the Bronx and Nigeria, plus the commitment it takes to run his empire of successful restaurants aro...

I have been a fan of Gary Janetti and his books for a long time. He always makes me laugh, especially with his insights on travel.

Bonus: he brought his adorable dog, Theo, along for the interview.
