    This Old Baker Podcast Episode 49: Small Batch Recipes

    Cooking for one or two? Most recipes still assume you're feeding a crowd. In this episode, Kim talks about the shift nobody prepares you for — when the kids move out, life changes, and suddenly that nine-by-thirteen casserole doesn't make sense anymore. She breaks down why small batch cooking isn't about settling for less, how it actually saves money over big-batch leftovers, and why dinner can feel exciting again when you're not eating the same pan of food for five days straight. If you've ever stood in your kitchen wondering what to make for one or two people without wanting an entire chocolate cake on the counter all week, this one's for you.

    This Old Baker Podcast Episode 48: What's Actually Worth Making Homemade?

    Not everything needs to be made from scratch — and I think that's worth saying out loud. In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between cooking smarter and making life harder. Because my goal has never been to have you spend every waking hour in the kitchen. It's always been about saving money, reducing waste, and making home cooking work for real life. We're talking about what's actually worth the effort, what isn't, and how to stop feeling guilty about it either way. listen now →

    This Old Baker Podcast Episode 47: Why Summer Food Hits Differently

    There's a reason a cold glass of lemonade on a hot day tastes better than anything you could make in February. In this episode, Kim digs into why summer food hits differently — the science, the nostalgia, and the simplicity that makes it work. She also shares what's been happening in the This Old Baker kitchen, including a brand new homemade lemonade dry mix with five flavor variations, a peach cobbler for two that bakes in a muffin pan in 25 minutes, and the copycat seasoning series that makes grilling season easier.

    This Old Baker Podcast Episode 46: Choosing Appliances Without Regret

    In Episode 46 of the This Old Baker Podcast, we're talking about how to choose appliances without regret. From air fryers and dehydrators to refrigerators, coffee makers, and everything in between, I'll share the four things I consider before making a purchase: price, quality, customer service, and features. We'll discuss why buying for your real life is more important than buying for your fantasy self, how to look past marketing hype, and why the best appliance isn't always the one your favorite influencer recommends. If you're considering a major purchase for your kitchen or home, this episode will help you make a decision you'll be happy with for years to come.

    This Old Baker Podcast Episode 45: You Don't Have To Be Superwoman

    Episode 45: You Don't Have To Be Superwoman Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that being strong means doing everything ourselves. We juggle work, family, homes, responsibilities, and expectations while convincing ourselves that asking for help is somehow a weakness. In this episode, I'm talking about the pressure to be "Superwoman" and why it's okay to put down the cape. We'll chat about burnout, unrealistic expectations, giving ourselves grace, and learning that our worth isn't measured by how much we can carry. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or like you're responsible for holding everything together, this conversation is for you. Grab a cup of coffee and join me as we explore what happens when we stop trying to do it all and start giving ourselves permission to simply be human.
