Have you ever felt overwhelmed in the kitchen?

In this latest episode, I chatted with Jen McNabb, a technology project manager turned passionate cook. Jen’s story is a journey of rediscovering a love for cooking, sparked by watching chefs on the Food Network. From feeling isolated to entering cooking contests and creating her “101 Sauce” on Lifetime’s "Supermarket Superstar," Jen’s journey is truly inspiring. It’s a reminder that passion can be found in the unlikeliest of places, and it’s never too late to pursue it.

She made a crazy, unexpected brain switch while watching the Food Network. She suddenly thought “Shit! I can totally do this cooking thing!” Jen taught herself to cook through cookbooks and the early Internet days, which definitely was NOT what it is today, and became an accomplished contest cook as her hobby. She’s won several contests and has been on two cooking competition television shows, most recently the latest season of Food Network's Outchef'd where she had to cook against Chef Rocco Dispirito and had NO IDEA this was happening.

Jen’s goal is to help others cross that gap from completely overwhelmed to “let’s see what I have to throw together deliciously tonight” and hope to see that lightbulb moment in others!
