It’s Chili season! From the New York Times to the streets of uptown West Chester Pennsylvania, bold, flavorful, hearty chili is on the menu. Co-host Marnie Mills (owner of Monsoon Nectar and Yoga in Sedona) joins me to talk all things chili and support our WCHE 1520AM 95.3 FM team Barry D, Steve and Erick who will be competing in the Fiorenza’s Food for Friends 2025 F4 West Chester Chili Cook-Off and fundraiser to end hunger. The streets of West Chester will be heating up Sunday, October 12th with music, community and thousands of tastes the greatest chili cook-off competition!

If you love food, the 44th Annual Chester County Restaurant & Food Truck Festival is where you wanted to be. To get a taste of food sun and fun, Marnie Mills (Yoga In Sedona and Monsoon Nectar), cohost and field reporter reports live from the streets of West Chester. And later, a culinary trip to Poland takes center stage, …and if your looking for some instant fun, as they say, “just add water”…On Saturday September 27th the classic rock band, Just Add Water , will play at the Polish American Citizen’s Club in Phoenixville Pennsylvania from 6-10 PM. Keeping the beat, Rich Burns drummer of Just Add Water joins us to take us back stage to meet the band and get an exclusive in the the positivity you don’t want to miss.

Into a large bowl, empty Polish traditions, culture and food, stir in a whole lot of conversation, then Just Add Water….today we’re serving up music and food baked into a whole lot of fun!

I love broadcasting live from WCHE 95.3 FM 1520 AM Radio.

The act of hunting and gathering food, ingredients and medicine seems so ancient, yet we still have to hunt and gather every day…or at least once a week when we do our weekly shopping. For most people, finding aromatics like 🌿herbs and garlic, 🍄gathering mushrooms for a cacciatori, or 🍵selecting a tea for a scratchy throat…. is a drive to the local supermarket. But for foragers, these ingredients are freely available in nature.

But could HOW we go about getting these necessities— from the supermarket or nature, make a difference?

If the gap between the supermarket and foraging seems vast and and foreign, todays guest Horace Sheffield—👨‍🍳forager and chef, will help you explore the world of foraging which is deelpy rooted in the human experience.

Joined by my sister Marnie, we explore turning foraging finds to culinary creations with passionate forager and chef Horace Sheffield. Horace's youtube chanels are passionate forager and passionate forager 2. And be sure to check out Marsnie's Yoga In Sedona and Monsoon Nectar Chakra Aroma Skin and Hair Care.
