    What if the secret to a better life is learning to do… nothing?

    Francesca Montillo, better known as The Lazy Italian, is living a little bit of the “Under the Tuscan Sun” dream. After years of working, saving and planning in Boston, she finally made her dream of owning a home in Tuscany a reality.   And along the way, she discovered something Italians call “the sweetness of doing nothing.” It’s more than simply slowing down—it’s about savoring life, enjoying good food, lingering around the table, and making time for the things that matter. Francesca takes us inside that Italian way of life through simple recipes, authentic food experiences and tours that offer a very personal look at the culture and traditions of Italy. And wait until you hear about some of the regional specialties she introduces her travelers to—including grape cake and grape risotto! 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Behind the Badge: The Battle You Don’t See

    Www.Hopeforheroestx.org They’re the people we count on when something goes terribly wrong—the police officers, firefighters, paramedics and other first responders who run toward situations most of us would run from. But what happens after the sirens stop? What does carrying those experiences day after day do to the mind and the heart? Behind the badge, the uniform, and the calm exterior are human beings who can face extraordinary levels of stress, trauma and emotional pressure. Today, we’re talking about the mental challenges first responders face, the importance of asking for help, and the wonderful group that is providing confidential, free counseling to these heroes. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Walking in the Footsteps of Paul in Rome w/ Sally Cardenas |Tanji Patton's Goodtaste for the Soul

    Amid the ancient ruins, iconic landmarks, and layers of history that make Rome so captivating, it's easy to miss some of the city's most significant sites—especially if you don't know where to look. I've been to Rome a handful of times, but never before had I traced the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and St. Peter. This time, I saw the Eternal City through a completely different lens. Our guide, Araceli Cardenas, is a very special longtime friend who now lives in Rome. Araceli works at the United Nations, but she also leads faith-based excursions that trace the footsteps of Paul and Peter through the city and the surrounding region.  Not only are her special tours remarkable but so is her story--one of pain, long suffering and redemption. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Parables in Pencil w/ Bill Nichols | Tanji Patton's Goodtaste for the Soul

    BUY HIS BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Parables-Pencil-Sketches-Devotionals-Favorite/dp/B0H7YZXMX4 What can a pencil teach us about Jesus?   Quite a lot, as you’re about to see through the work of my guest today, Bill Nichols. Bill is a very gifted Texas artist, pastor, even the cofounder of a major cable network.  These days, he creates in a beautiful—and surprisingly simple—way to bring the timeless parables of Jesus to life. His medium? A pencil. In his new book, Parables in Pencil, Bill uses pencil drawings to help us see these familiar stories in a fresh way—sometimes making us pause, look a little closer and think about a truth we may have heard a hundred times, but never quite seen this way. Bill holds a PhD in philosophy, but what struck me most about his work isn’t simply what he knows. It’s how he sees. There’s something beautiful about taking these stories Jesus told 2,000 years ago and giving them new life through something as humble as a pencil. And I think you’ll discover, as I did, that there’s a lot more behind these drawings than pencil and paper. There’s a beautiful soul, a deep faith and a gift for helping the rest of us see timeless truths in a new way. This is a special book—and Bill is a very special storyteller. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Don Brady Texas Winemaker Goodtaste with Tanji

    Today's interview is with a Texas winemaker who's producing some notable red wines in California's beautiful Paso Robles wine region. I first discovered Brady Vineyards after spotting their Zinfandel on the shelf at H-E-B. Truth be told, I don't usually reach for Zinfandel, but there was something different about Brady's. It wasn't the typical fruit bomb. Instead, it was beautifully balanced, with nuance and layers of flavor that kept me coming back for another sip. While I enjoy the Brady Zinfandel, Don Brady says the true stars of his portfolio are his Old World-inspired reds, including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Don at one of my favorite San Antonio restaurants, Boudro's on the River Walk, to talk about his winemaking journey, what makes Paso Robles such a special place to grow grapes, and why he's focused on crafting elegant wines that let the fruit—and the vineyard—speak for themselves. https://www.bradyvineyard.com/ 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Spiritual Warfare with Pastor Ed Newton

    We don't talk much about spiritual warfare anymore, but maybe we should. What if some of the greatest battles we face aren't the obvious ones—or even come disguised as something good? To dive deeper into what can be a heavy topic, I reached out to Community Bible Church Pastor Ed Newton in San Antonio, TX, a guy who isn’t your ordinary pastor – a man who has the ability to connect with just about anybody on any level.  My interest in the subject really grew after reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis a couple of years ago. It challenged me to think differently about the quiet, everyday ways we're influenced and distracted.  Any Wormwoods in your world?  There were in mine…still are. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Chemical Exposure and Parkinson's What You Need To Know!!

    Have you ever stopped to think about what toxins you're exposed to every day—and what it might be doing to your brain? Most of us don't think twice about the air we breathe, the chemicals used on our lawns or crops, or the environmental toxins we encounter throughout our lives. But what if those everyday exposures are having a bigger impact on our brain health than we realize, especially for people in states like Texas? Researchers are taking a closer look at why neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease are becoming more common and appearing in younger adults.  Could a slight tremor, changes in your handwriting, a diminished sense of smell, or even problems sleeping be your body's way of signaling that something isn't quite right? Knowing what to watch for could make all the difference. The good news is there's never been more hope. New diagnostic tools and groundbreaking treatments—including Deep Brain Stimulation and focused ultrasound—are helping people live fuller, more active lives, and many of those advances are happening in San Antonio at the new Center for Brain Health at UT Health San Antonio. Today, we're joined by Dr. Okeanis Vaou to separate fact from fear and to explain the symptoms you should never ignore. Whether you're thinking about your own health, your parents, or your children, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!
