STUDIO CITY (CBS) — The busy weeknights are a whirlwind of team practices, piano lessons and homework time… so how can a busy family sit down for a meal if you don’t have time to make it? Kitchen Coach Jennifer Bushman stopped by KCAL9 Thursday to share her Flash Food (quick meal) secrets!

Bushman is the author of three books, which are part of her acclaimed Kitchen Coach Series, including “Stress-Free Meals to Make with Your Family.” She has been named the National Culinary Spokesperson for the American Heart Association, and the host of “Make it Easy.”
