My first guest this week is Yasmin Fahr, she’s a food writer and recipe developer who loves to make easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy dinners (she also has a thing for cheesy phrases). Her first cookbook,Keeping it Simple, is out now and that’s our topic. Learn more about Yasmin.
After a long day at work, heading home to cook a fussy, complicated meal is the last thing anyone wants to do. Keeping it Simple is the ultimate collection to have on hand for these moments. Featuring over 60 quick and easy, drool-worthy one-pot dinners you can whip up in the time in takes to have a glass of wine (or two, let’s be honest), Yasmin Fahr has got you covered. Inspired by her column for Serious Eats, One-Pot Wonders, Yasmin sets out to arm readers with sneaky gems and low-key showstoppers that work every time, and a promise that they will learn at least one new move (if not a good few) to up their skills in the kitchen. The ultimate goal is to get dinner on the 
table quickly, but also to create something truly delicious as a weeknight reward. Why order a takeaway when you can throw together Miso-Ghee Chicken with Roasted Radishes or Rigatoni and Broccoli with Crispy Prosciutto in 20 minutes? And when you can cook it all in one pot, clean-up is a breeze. Featuring humorous and relatable anecdotes and musings on cooking and life, in Yasmin’s witty and energetic style, Keeping it Simple is the book you’ll keep coming back to night after night for inspiration both in the kitchen and out. It’s a collection that will remind you why you love to cook in the first place. Get a copy NOW! Follow Yasmin on Face Book and Twitter.

“This was Wichita’s one chance to play at the highest level of a sport.” That was the Major Indoor Soccer League and they were the Wichita Wings, a team of European party boys who went toe-to-toe with New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and arch rival St. Louis in the crazy 1980s.
Three years in the making, “God Save The Wings” is a feature-length documentary celebrating the team that meshed Wichita’s sports, social and pop culture scenes in the decade of preppies and New Wave. It features Monty Python-inspired animation and several songs of the era, and was scored by the Wrong Kata Trio. Narrated by Andy Chapman and featuring interviews from most every key player of the era, the movie is based on the historical book “Make This Town Big.” Directed by Adam Knapp and Kenneth Linn, creators of the award-winning documentary short “Out Here In Kansas,” and produced by Tim O’Bryhim, Tori Deatherage and Michael Romalis.
