Do you know how to store Parmesan cheese? If it's in a block, unopened from the store, it can stay out until you open it. Once opened I usually store it in a plastic bag in the fridge. We go through it pretty quickly as my husband loves to do a pasta night on his nights to cook. But to store a block of Parmesan for a long period of time, wrap it in wax paper to keep the humidity. Then in aluminum foil.

People can get really overwhelmed when it comes to cooking turkey in the oven so I wanted to make it really simple and straightforward in a beginners style recipe. No dry turkey here! Just juicy turkey breast that goes from oven to table with a beautiful presentation. I think you'll enjoy this roasted turkey breast very much. I love that it comes with a built-in side dish of root vegetables (roasted carrots and onions) and love the flavor when the back of my fork squeezes the juice out of the wedges of lemon and onto my plate. The whole roasted garlic soaking in butter at the bottom of the pan gives it massive flavor, too. Sure it's Thanksgiving menu and Christmas dinner approved, but this recipe is simple enough to make for a weekend dinner for the family or guests. And bonus: leftovers make delicious turkey avocado sandwiches. Here are a few other ways to make tasty turkey: Have a smoker? Try this Traeger smoked turkey breast recipe. Have an Instant Pot sous vide machine? Try my sous vide turkey breast. Love your air fryer? Check out my air fryer turkey breast tenderloin.

Here are some of my favorite modern thanksgiving menu recipes and dishes I think you'll love. First up? TURKEY... For Thanksgiving dinner you can always make a roasted turkey breast in the oven, but why not use one of your new kitchen tools? Grill a Traeger smoked turkey breast, or cook an underwater sous vide turkey breast, or even air fryer turkey breast. For sauces, drizzle jalapeño ranch dressing on your turkey instead of gravy. What about appetizers? Start the whole Thanksgiving dinner with a fruit salad (like my peach salad, but you can use apples or pears) and a creamy labneh dip. Switch up the traditional Thanksgiving casserole with a pesto lasagna - you can even make it gluten free with keto friendly pasta sheets. Or serve up something like chorizo sausage stuffing. It's so good - one of my husband's top recipes! For sides, new twists on roasted vegetables and onions are a must. And for dessert - try mini apple pies or blueberry turnovers. I have so many other tasty dishes to try this year… head over to Sip Bite Go to check out the full lineup of modern Thanksgiving menu recipe ideas.

Magnificent Tri Tip Steak is a cut of beef that has really nice marbling - you know, the streaks of fat running through meat that give it flavor. Other names for tri tip include “triangle roast” because of its triangle shape and the "Newport steak". It's easy enough to make for a weeknight meal for a family, but fancy enough to add to Thanksgiving as a main dish alternative or to your Christmas party menu. And football fans like my family love slicing it up thin and adding it to sandwiches for game day. Tri tip can be cooked deliciously different ways like on the Traeger as smoked tri tip, or as a sous vide tri tip recipe, but this recipe will teach you how to get perfect tri tip baked in the oven and exactly how to cut tri tip the right way.

Love smoked foods? Fire up the Traeger grill, or invite yourself over to someone's house who has one and bring a whole chicken… because today I'm sharing my best Traeger smoked whole chicken recipe. It's loaded with flavor from the pellet smoker. And it's so easy - you don't even need a brine. I'm walking you through it in today's chat. You can also see the smoked whole chicken recipe video. For sauces to add to smoked whole chicken, try this romesco sauce, a simple peppercorn sauce, my creamy jalapeno ranch dressing, or mix together a glaze of equal parts honey and bbq sauce with a splash of water (or bourbon!). Serve this Traeger smoked chicken with a classic potato side dish like sous vide little potatoes, a topping of caramelized onions, and a vegetable like sauteed carrots or sous vide asparagus are great ideas.

Samantha Milner loves kitchen gadget cooking, and teaches people how to use them, particularly the air fryer, instant pot, soup maker, slow cooker, and bread machine. And, believe it or not, she has only used an oven a handful of times in the last 5 years. Today we talk about why people are obsessed with air frying. She started because she wanted to lose weight with air frying. The first thing she air fried was frozen breaded chicken, then fries and fish and chips. She went on to air fry chicken breast, zucchini, salmon, sheet pan meals, and her new favorite air fryer recipe - shrimp fajitas with frozen shrimp. She talks about what she thinks are health benefits including the reduction in oil and cooking foods for weight watchers, keto diets, and more. For people with arthritis or cooking for one. We talk about her Phillips Airfryer XL, and she even convinces me to buy one! Plus how toaster ovens differ from air fryers.

Description Hey coffee lovers: check out this new episode of the Sip Bite Go podcast with Emanuele Bizzarri, the owner of Caffé Umbria Italian Coffee Roasters. He's a 3 generation coffee roaster from Italy who has tips on how you can enjoy coffee the best. We chat about how his grandfather started coffee roasting in Umbria, Italy, when he came back from prison camp. How he met a woman in Perugia, Italy, and decided to move to the United States to open a coffee shop. First they thought to open a new coffee shop in San Francisco with a little roasting facility. But even back then San Francisco was very expensive. And so he decided to start in Seattle and now has shops all over, including in my local city - Portland, Oregon.

To some it all up: intentional living is a powerful way to help yourself and help the planet. How to live a more sustainable life as a foodie Here are tips from Stephanie: Start by tackling food waste - right in your own kitchen, get in the habit of reducing food waste by creating a section in the fridge of produce to eat first (before it goes bad).

You are never too old to change the direction of your life. Of course, if you don’t believe that, you will always be too old to steer your life in a new direction. Approaching 40, when others may feel stuck in their ways, today’s guest quickly pivoted careers at the start of the pandemic.

I get in at six in the morning then I look up at the clock, and it's 5pm. And I don't even know what happened.” - Lisa Hildebrant HUNGRY FOR MORE?

Calling all mushroom enthusiasts… Did you ever think that a mushroom foraging hobby could lead to a career change and selling food products on Amazon? That’s the story of Thomas Hong of vegetarian mushroom jerky company, Vegky. He went down a few other paths in life before getting into the food business.

Imagine building a successful foodie career you love, and then having the pandemic come and suddenly wipe out your income. Imagine taking that disaster and turning it into triumph by using your time and skills in a way you’d never had a chance to explore, discovering new abilities and talents in the process. Imagine seeing your life change into something you’d hardly have been able to imagine possible, where you get to spend your working hours doing something you are completely passionate about. That’s what happened with Caroline Chambers. She pulled herself up by her own bootstraps and, with a lot of hard work and persistence, built herself a solid career in recipe development. Then, overnight, all her contracts dried up. The pandemic hit and no-one had a marketing budget to spend on recipe development anymore. An empty schedule, and no money coming in, meant it was time to think different. But if the big corporations weren’t willing to spend on recipes, the people were. Everyone quarantined in their homes without ready-made food suddenly wished they knew how to cook—and Caroline decided to help them. Through her website, a weekly newsletter, and eventually teaching online cooking classes with Airsubs, she soon became a go-to for people wanting to learn how to make simple, delicious meals with basic ingredients and a limited amount of time. In return, they payrolled her through subscription services and pay-per-seat online classes. HIGHLIGHTS: What does a freelance recipe developer do? How Caroline transitioned from catering to recipe development. The business pivots made in light of COVID. Juggling cooking classes with being a full-time mom. Building real online communities through cooking classes. Tips for joining an online cooking class. Creating multiple streams of income through new online platforms. QUOTABLES: “When you work for yourself especially, but also in a more traditional career, these opportunities just present themselves. And you either grab them or you don't. And that kind of decides where you wind up in life.” - Caroline Chambers “Some people would find it awkward to talk about finances and talk about income and money. But I think especially women working in a non-traditional space, I think it's really empowering to share wins like this.” - Caroline Chambers HUNGRY FOR MORE?

That's the one thing that you need to teach yourself in order to make great connections with people, in order to make great connections for work, in order to do pretty much anything and do it well.

Her parents had dreams of her going to law school, but at the last minute, Meredith Laurence decided to pursue culinary school instead.

And when you get your hands on the dough, you're doing something that people have done for thousands of years before you and it's kind of cool.

Did you know: sushi + burrito = sushirrito?? It’s a thing - and the people of Portland, Oregon are obsessed with it! The amazing food in Portland, Oregon is one of the major reasons people visit, and sometimes decide to ultimately move to this city I call home. That’s what happened to me, and that’s what happened to today’s guest, Ryan Moy. We both live here in large part for the food! Today Ryan Moy, owner of Rollin' Fresh — one of the most quintessential Portland food carts — which specializes in sushi burritos, poke' bowls, and poke' salads. The sushi burritos he makes mix Asian and Latin flavors. The tempura is so crunchy, the fish is brought in fresh daily, and the sauces… don’t even get me started on how freakin’ amazing they are! He had to start bottling them up and selling them, they became so popular. He’s a humble guy, so I’ll have to toot his horn for him: he’s been featured on Food Network and with 3 food carts in Portland booming, he opened a brick and mortar Portland restaurant during the pandemic. I’m so happy for his success. In this episode, Ryan chat’s about how his grandparents in particular encouraged him to pursue a steady “real job” in accounting, but also spent quality time with him in the kitchen, teaching him how to cook food they grew up with in Honolulu. He talks about the ride of almost two decades working as a chef and GM of the food industry, scaling a food business, traveling to foodie cities, expanding his restaurant menu, and ultimately, the story of how he merged his accounting degree with his passion for food. HIGHLIGHTS: What is a ‘sushirrito’ and what goes into one? The importance of knowing your numbers. Making adjustments to COVID-19. Managing the food cart space, team, and business. Ryan’s top food cities to visit. Chasing your passion for food: Where to start and what to do. Transitioning from brick and mortar to the digital space. QUOTABLES: “Restaurant margins are really, really small. And in order to be successful, you have to have the numbers dialed in at the end of the day. If you lose track of that, then it's just going to go downhill from there.” - Ryan Moy “Whatever effort you put into your business is what you're going to get out of it.” - Ryan Moy HUNGRY FOR MORE?

From medicinal mushrooms to herbal tea, this episode uncovers some really fascinating studies of ancient plants and their benefits for humans. In today’s chat, sisters Hollie King and Mallory Schillinger help debunk the difference between medicinal mushrooms and psychedelic mushrooms. But the conversation goes much deeper than that. They chat about how Hollie’s obsession with “food as medicine” was fueled by a desire to know what she was putting on her kids, and ultimately helped her treat a cancer scare. Her holistic approach to cancer recovery helped fuel Sweet Bee Organics all starting with pretty simple Facebook ads to find consumers. At the end we kind of geek out about how your body is literally eating every product you put on your skin, Mallory’s easy recommendations for drinking more herbal teas, and Hollie’s daily routine, which, you guessed it, includes medicinal mushrooms for breakfast. So let’s talk ‘shrooms! HIGHLIGHTS: Growing up and making memories in the same kitchen How Hollie and Mallory’s “Food as Medicine” journey started. What exactly are medicinal mushrooms and their medicinal properties? How should you eat your mushrooms? The processes behind Sweet Bee Organics products. Evaluating the quality of your ingredients in your skincare products. The difference between eating vs. putting products on your skin. Hollie and Mallory’s daily routines. Growing your own herbs to drink in your tea. QUOTABLES: “These mushrooms are so wise; they've been on our planet longer than us and they have developed ways to protect themselves, and so I think that is why they're so powerful” - Mallory Schillinger “People are genuinely good people and they just want to see companies that are doing good things succeed. So there are always people there to help. I really believe that.” - Hollie King “If you keep waiting for the right moment, that moment never comes.” - Jenna Passaro HUNGRY FOR MORE?

You never know when a gift will change your life. That’s exactly how I got into sous vide cooking and went on to write and publish my sous vide cookbook. Yes, I didn’t intentionally get into cooking this way. One of my favorite food hobbies actually came to be because we received a sous vide machine as a wedding gift from the CEO of my husband’s company. I literally had no idea what it was at first. My story is similar to Chris Cook from Happy Hydro Farm. One day, after decades in combat, he went down to his basement, found an old hydroponic gardening kit from God knows when, dusted it off, and then began his food hobby obsession: indoor hydroponic gardening. Along the way, Chris found his love of growing plants indoors to soothe his PTSD and started a blog to share all the details with beginner hydroponic growers. In this episode, Chris recounts how his foodie plant hobby began, makes us jealous that he has two kitchens - he has one dedicated just to his plants - and chats about his favorite foods to grow using hydro gardening techniques. You’ll leave hungry and inspired. HIGHLIGHTS: Getting into hydroponic gardening: how it all started for Chris. How web design turned into a hobby of its own. Chris’s current plant system. What is deep water culture? Choosing your equipment. Chris’ relationship with grocery shopping as a hydroponic farmer. Happy Hydro Farm - what is it and who is it for? How gardening can improve your mental health. Chris’ favorite things to grow. QUOTABLES: “When I started growing plants I noticed that it had an extremely positive impact on my anxiety and just my overall outlook on life. And that is definitely something that, above anything else, I want to put out to people - that you can get a lot of happiness and self-care by taking care of plants.” - Chris Cook “There's kind of like a meditative state that growing plants brings to you. And you're saying that you take care of the plants, but it's also growing food that's good for you that you can decide what nutrients you're putting in front of yourself - that's your own self-care.” - Jenna Passaro HUNGRY FOR MORE?

If you’ve ever searched for a recipe online, you’ve probably seen the popular food blog, Budget Bytes, pop up with a tasty dish. What you might not know about the budget-friendly site is that it started out as a food hobby for owner Beth Moncel, who became more-than-obsessed with counting each and every penny of her monthly budget as she paid back student-loans for a Nutritional Science degree. Yup, the cost savings meal prep tips Budget Bytes was founded on originally started out as Facebook posts to just Beth’s friends. One of the many things I found remarkable about this conversation with Beth is how she continued on in her higher education and achieved a second degree, this time in Clinical Laboratory Science, all while running her booming blog. As you probably know, she chose the path less traveled, running a full-time food blog that highlights the cost of each recipe down to the individual serving. In this episode, we chat about her long-standing blog, cookbook, food app, and how she helps people eat deliciously on small budgets. HIGHLIGHTS: How Beth’s relationship with food blossomed. Beth’s food blogging journey and how she monetized her blog. Taking the leap: How Beth made her career change. Things to consider when starting a new project. Being a part of the Budget Bytes community. Finding a balance between business and personal. How to get started on food blogging. Adapting to changes in the digital world. QUOTABLES: “It's exhausting but you have to love that part of it to be successful as a blogger. Because if you don't love the actual process of doing it, you're gonna give up way, way sooner than you're ever going to start making money. So you have to enjoy the day-to-day.” - Beth Moncel “If you stick with it and keep learning and learning, eventually you will become an expert. And people will pay you for that expertise. So if there's something you're passionate about, don't tell yourself no before even trying.” - Beth Moncel HUNGRY FOR MORE?

Becoming a parent completely changes your life. If you’ve been through a pregnancy, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It impacts everything from your energy level, to your ability to stomach different foods, to preparing to adjust your job for maternity leave. So what happens when you’re a pregnant food blogger? When you all of a sudden can’t eat certain foods for the safety of the baby, have food cravings readers won’t be able to relate to, and have food aversions during pregnancy? And what happens when you’re a new mom running a food blog and working for yourself? How do you get back to work, managing time between taking care of a baby and running a blog, and adjusting to your new norm? If any of what I’ve said resonates with you, you’re going to love today’s chat with Karen Young from The Tasty Bite. She and I have so much in common, including writing a cookbook with Callisto Media, a well-known book publisher, running a food blog, and adjusting to becoming a new mom — all in the same year, and all during a pandemic. So join us as we chat about new mom life and how to juggle running a food blog at the same time. HIGHLIGHTS: Karen’s pregnancy and cookbook journey. Creating recipes with pregnancy cravings and aversions. The process of writing a cookbook through the different trimesters. Food safety during pregnancy and COVID. Cooking for your baby as a new mom. Food photography routines. Juggling food blogging and motherhood. QUOTABLES: “Take it one piece at a time. Being pregnant is already super hard. And I think sometimes, as women too, you want a lot on your plate, and people have expectations about what you can do. But if you're having problems like vomiting or nausea or you feel like you have some sort of food preference during your pregnancy, just give in to it.” - Karen Young “You can't not change as a person once you have a child. You're going to grow into another person. But I think now, being two years out from having my child, just knowing that it will take time but you will get back to who you are and what you're about.” - Jenna Passaro HUNGRY FOR MORE?

If you’re still not convinced that you can build a life around your most wild desires, you clearly haven’t heard the story of Dave Hoyle. Summed up in just one word, he’s a farmer. But upon further investigation, he’s up to some crazy, inspired shit. And I mean that in the best possible way. I first heard of Dave’s cannabis-eating pig farm, Moto Perpetuo, when he was listed as a vendor for one of the most prestigious restaurants in town, Paley’s Place. You see, Dave raises pigs that are “smoked” - no pun intended, after a generous life eating “leftovers” from his cannabis farm. Renowned chef Vitaly Paley, amongst others, honor and celebrate these pigs at upscale pig roasts and cannabis-themed cookouts playfully dubbed “High On The Hog” Dinners. Yup, that’s a thing! In this conversation with Dave, we chat about a plethora of stories anyone who considers themselves a foodie will eat up. He talks about meticulously sourcing rare seeds and overnighting them at a moment’s notice, so they can be grown into beautiful pieces of produce and showcased in some of the top restaurants in Portland. We chat about why it took so damn long for Top Chef Portland to film in our beloved city, and chat about past contestants who are part of this city’s famous food scene - Gregory Gourdet and Doug Adams. It was so much fun to chat about Portland food and the special connection between farmers and chefs with Dave Hoyle. If you’re interested in learning more about him, my past interview with chefs at Vitaly Paley’s restaurants, and more, check out the show notes. HIGHTLIGHTS: The process of starting and running a farm. Farm, Restaurant, and Community relationships. The impetus behind the cannabis-fed pig: Vitaly Paley. A blank canvas: The creative process of farm to table. Earning your stripes: Working with the kitchen mindset. The story of Tails and Trotters, the butcher shop. How cannabis-fed pig farming came about. The relationship between the pig and the farmer. QUOTABLES: “As much as the physical act of farming drives us, it is knowing that somebody is going to be so appreciative of what we do, and use their passion and craft to put it on a plate for somebody. They're going to taste that love, excitement, and passion that we as farmers and the chef shared.” - David Hoyle “I honestly feel like my life is a gift. I'm the luckiest man I know to have been in the right place at the right time with the right attitude on so many different occasions, that I feel like I have to wake up every day to earn the right to get to do what I get to do.” - David Hoyle HUNGRY FOR MORE?

My life is forever changed from this conversation about the birds and the bees with hobby farmer Nicole Gennetta from Colorado. In today’s chat, we’re covering all the details… exactly what is a hobby farm? What do you need to know about how to start a hobby farm before diving in? What is it like to raise chickens in your backyard? Why bees die after stinging you -- yea, you don’t want to miss that grossness! And the cringe-worthy details about buying eggs at a grocery store vs. a farm that raises chickens for eggs. Nicole takes us from her curiosity about farming as a child to the transition from being a medic to running a farm filled with chickens, quail, ducks, turkeys, honey bees, and more. About halfway through this interview, I started craving cheese boards with honey and sous vide soft boiled eggs. So apologies in advance if you can hear me drooling through the audio. I am amazed at how complex this chat with Nicole was and how much I’m taking away from it. There were some seriously interesting factoids on raising bees and backyard chickens for eggs. I can guarantee things we discussed will be popping up in many conversations to come whenever a bee, chicken, or egg is brought up. HIGHLIGHTS: The (misplaced) fear of bees. From firefighter to beekeeper: Nicole’s career transition How to get started on Beekeeping and Backyard Chickens. The inner workings of a bee colony. The relationship between the bee and the beekeeper. How to support the bees! (Hint: it’s not by beekeeping) The difference between backyard chicken eggs and store-bought eggs. Food safety and chicken eggs. QUOTABLES: “People are starting to realize that food actually comes from animals, plants, and farmers and doesn't show up at a grocery store. So that kind of farm-to-table realization of where food comes from and people wanting to empower themselves to have that food security is really great.” - Nicole Genetta “It's so neat that people are returning to these really fulfilling hobbies, now that they have the time to do it. And they're not just thinking about commuting to work each day.” - Jenna Passaro HUNGRY FOR MORE?

If you’re a home chef, you’ll never look at a peppermill the same way after hearing about Cleve Oines and his obsession with them. In this episode, this Alaska born foodie shares details on launching kitchen item crowdfunding campaigns on platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. He shares how it all started with a sudden and tragic loss of a job, how he couldn’t have done it without the support of his wedding photographer wife, and the ins and outs of reinventing better kitchen products and selling them online at MannKitchen. If you’ve ever felt frustrated at your spatula, chef’s knife, peppermill, or another kitchen tool and thought: there has to be a better way, this episode is for you. HIGHLIGHTS: How Cleve gets his kitchen product ideas. The ins and outs of developing and selling kitchen products. Marketing products on different online platforms. MannKitchen’s product launch process: The Pepper Cannon. Pre-ground pepper and freshly ground peppercorns - what’s the difference? The many setbacks that Cleve experienced. What’s next for MannKitchen? How to take the big leap: Cleve’s advice. QUOTABLES: "Do it. Take that step. And hopefully, you've got someone who believes in you and has faith in you like I had with my wife. But even If you don't, take that risk. You never know what's on the other side of it until you try and I'm so glad that I am where I am now." - Cleve Oines "It's kind of amazing when someone in your life has that support for you that you don't have for your own vision. Like when you want to do something, it really helps when someone external continues validating it and supporting you." - Jenna Passaro HUNGRY FOR MORE?
