The holiday season is meant to be spent with activities and people you love, not in the kitchen creating some elegant concoction (unless that’s your #1 passion, then go for it!). Even worse, your waistline won’t love you ordering DoorDash every night and eating warmed up fast-casual restaurant food. Where’s the sweet spot? Karen Nochimowski is the tour-de-force behind Momma Chef, and she today will share recipe ideas from her new 6-Minute Dinners cookbook. It turns out, you don’t have to be Gordon Ramsay to make a delicious meal AND it doesn’t have to take long to prep, either.
In our headlines segment, we dive into recent comments made by Morningstar CEO Kunil Kapoor about direct index investing, and how it can turn index investing “fun.” Is that a good thing? We’ll share some thoughts. Plus of course, no show would be complete without Doug’s trivia and a call into the Lifeline from Paddy, who’s worried about FinTech company Blooom closing the doors to customers. Where does he turn for asset allocation suggestions?
