It’s Valentine’s Day. It’s a day when lovers exchange greeting cards, flowers, and chocolate. Nobody is quite sure about its’ exact origins. But, some point back to the Romans when it seems that men hit on women by actually hitting them. Well, we’re not going to be hitting anyone today. But we will hit it […]

Episode 7 – “Will You Be My Valentine?”

I’ve heard there’s a football game being played tonight. Is that right? Well, in that case we have to celebrate with the “Big Game” Episode. It’s Super Bowl L (that’s 50) and here’s what we’re serving up! In our Make Your Own Segment, we’re making a Big Game classic: Guacamole. You’ll learn how to ripen, peel and […]

Episode 6 – There’s a “Big Game” today?

In 1950’s post-war America, it’s not an exaggeration to say that almost everyone served in some capacity. The war affected everyone. This wasn’t some stand-off at a distance war fought by pilotless drones. Everyone volunteered and did their bit, not just the less than one percent of the population who serve in our wars today.

Episode 3 – “Good to the Bone.” Bone Broth and Butchers

You don’t always need a recipe. Sometimes the best food is prepared, and eaten in the moment. I hope that episode 2 of From My Mother’s Table inspires you to break free of recipes! Enjoy!

Episode 2 – Cooking in the Moment

The day is finally here. After many months of writing, some agonizing, planning, more writing, recording, audio editing and production, more agonizing, and some re-recording, my podcast From My Mother’s Table launches today. Over the course of the next year, I hope to share the stories my mother told to me. When I was a […]

Episode 1 – Prologue

A weekly audio magazine about food, recipes, clean eating, growing and making your own food and more. Everything I know about food, cooking, and life I learned from my mother. She was right about many things, and she would NEVER eat a tomato out of season.
