  • Rich espresso bbq sauce
    2026/05/04

    If a barbecue sauce can get 5 stars, this is definitely it. This recipe gets wonderful depth from espresso, its signature tang from apple cider vinegar and the tiniest nod of heat, resulting in a wonderfully balanced sauce perfect for anything you want to grill. With summer around the corner, this is one recipe you won't want to miss!

  • Bonus Bites: All about salt
    2026/04/22

    Today’s Bonus Bite is all about salt. Salt is the unsung hero of any dish and probably the most important ingredient in your pantry. And sadly, many salts on the market come with unwanted microplastics and heavy metals. Join me to learn why sourcing clean salt brands is so important and how cooking whole food at home can significantly lower your sodium intake.

    We'll also compare the sodium in two store brands and a restaurant chain to home cooked versions and you'll be shocked at the difference!

    Please share this important information with anyone you know, whether they’re on a low-sodium diet, or they grab take-out most days, or they’re simply interested in nutrition.
