Garten joins to talk simple home cooking and take your calls.
We discuss some the most fun and festive activities of the season with Jennifer Tripucka, editor-in-chief of both The Montclair Girl and The Hoboken Girl. We also take your suggestions on winter-themed carnivals, holiday pop up shops and events.
