TODAY on MHTV: There’s a few things I always like to keep in the pantry- pasta, oils and dried herbs- to name a few. If you’ve got pasta, try it with tuna and tomato; it’s a favorite of Calder’s and comes together in minutes. A quick and simple side salad gets lots of flavor from basil, tomatoes and avocados and if you’re looking for a delicious dessert, my busy-day chocolate cake is baked, frosted and served all in the same pan.

    I love watching you on TV and today was no different. I love the blouse you have on today and wondered if it is possible to know where you got it. Thank you for making cooking look so effortless and fun.
