Our favorite quotes from the episode
“The one thing we have that we can do, that we're in control of, is to boost our immune systems in the right way.” — Jenny Tschiesche
“Really think about the first meal of the day. That first meal of the day, ideally, will contain fiber and protein … That is absolutely key, and if you do nothing else, I would do that one thing because it sets the tone and it sets you up.” — Jenny Tschiesche
“I think this is a really strange time. But I also think it's a very opportunistic time from the perspective that we've got our children at home, they can see us cooking, they can be part of that process, and in fact we're probably more creative now than ever.” — Jenny Tschiesche
