Season 2, Episode 10: A Culinary Blend - Crafting Everyday Eats with Jessica Hollows

In this episode, we're whisking you away into the delicious world of everyday eats with the incredibly talented Jesseca Hallows of One Sweet Appetite. As a self-taught home chef and author, Jesseca has mastered the art of simplicity in the kitchen, crafting go-to recipes that are both fast and fabulous.

Join us as we chat with Jesseca about her journey, her passion for creating easy recipes with pantry staples, and how she's turned her culinary challenges into a thriving blog and cookbook series. Whether you're a busy parent or just someone who loves a good meal without the fuss, Jessica's approach to food is all about making life tastier and easier.

We dive into the versatility of sheet pan meals, the charm of cupcakes, and the surprising joy of tinfoil dinners. Plus, Jesseca shares her top tips for meal planning on a budget, prepping ingredients for the week, and making the most of your freezer for those hectic days.

But it's not all about the human palate! Jessica and Julie share a heartwarming discussion on homemade dog treats, proving that our furry friends deserve a seat at the table too. Get the recipe: https://www.juliehoagwriter.com/2020/08/05/homemade-dog-treats-with-rolled-oats-dogs-will-love/ And skip the cheese if desired, the recipe works great without any cheese as well. Mix it up and use different fruit/veggie flavors too! I just made this today using apple, pumpkin, turkey, and sweet potato baby food and my dogs gobble it up!

Season 2, Episode 9: Join me for a delightful dive into the world of backyard poultry with the charming Lisa Steele, a fifth-generation chicken keeper and the creative force behind Fresh Eggs Daily. In this episode, we're exploring the rustic charm of raising chickens, ducks, and geese, and uncovering the secrets to those deliciously diverse egg colors.

Lisa's roots trace back to her great-great-grandmother in Finland, weaving a rich tapestry of family tradition that spans continents and generations. With her grandparents' chicken farm a stone's throw from her childhood home, Lisa's passion for poultry is as deep-seated as it is infectious.

Lisa shares her treasure trove of tips for aspiring chicken enthusiasts. From the nuances of eggshell hues to the surprising simplicity of geese, she shares insights that'll have you rethinking your next omelet. And for those curious about the pecking order, Lisa debunks the myths surrounding "cage-free" and advocates for the bliss of pasture-raised poultry.

But it's not just about the birds—Lisa's culinary prowess shines as she whips up recipes that celebrate the versatility of eggs. Whether it's a sumptuous soufflé or a rustic frittata, her dishes are a testament to the joys of farm-fresh ingredients. Plus, she offers a sneak peek into her upcoming cookbook endeavors, promising more egg-centric delights on the horizon.

Venture beyond the coop with Lisa's TV show, "Welcome to My Farm," where she brings the pastoral pleasures of Maine to your screen. From strawberry patches to the art of ice fishing, Lisa's show is a heartwarming invitation to experience the simple pleasures of country living.
