Episode 73: Why Diets Don't Work

9/6/2019

This topic is a big one! After hinting at it for months now...we're here with a definitive stance on dieting once and for all. Today, Jackie and I are talking through why diets don't work and how to approach areas of health that still want attention in light of this fact. Hang tight 'til the end even if this one makes you a little squeamish because I'm offering some help that I hope will feel super practical. So, adopting this quote I love from June Tomaso Wood, say it with me: "My mind is not allowed to bully my body!" Now, let's dive in.

Episode 66: Summer Cooking 2.0, Part 2

7/12/2019

I'm back in the kitchen with you today, continuing our second annual summer cooking series. Today is all about tomato soup! Even though it's a warm recipe and we're not always craving piping hot stuff this time of year, this dish feels so seasonally appropriate to me...the first time I tried playing around with tomato soup recipes was one summer when my parents had more tomatoes than they could possibly eat ripening in their garden. And man, that memory of freshly ripened tomatoes from the garden going straight into dinner the same night sticks with me like the perfect grilled cheese. Wink, wink.
