She has trekked in the Himalayas, Patagonia, Thailand; run 52 marathons in 18 U.S. states, 11 countries, on 5 of the 7 continents; cycled down the western coast of the U.S. and from the Pacific to the Atlantic.; climbed Africa's tallest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft.), Japan's Mt. Fuji (12,388 feet) and Colorado's Pike's Peak (14,115 ft.); backpacked the 2200 mile Appalachian Trail (Georgia to Maine), as well as other trails in Europe and the US. Future plans include the 480-mile Colorado Trail in the Rockies in August 2023, continuing Ohio's Buckeye Trail and the Florida National Scenic Trail, and exploring the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland in 2024. She is now in her fourth year of enthusiastically following a WFPB SOS- and gluten-free way of eating, specifically Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn's plan for preventing and reversing heart disease, which has made all the difference in the world in her health, energy, stamina, and recovery rate from these endeavors. What does the future hold? With her primary focus on her way of eating, she also thrives with her time moving outdoors, daily meditation and yoga, Pilates and working out with weights, and is grateful for the great support from her husband of nearly 50 years. At the age of 70, but feeling 20+ years younger, she anticipates many more years ahead of her for great explorations. You can read her accounts of these journeys on the Appalachian, Buckeye and Florida trails, including her implementation of the WFPB way of eating, on her blog at: thetrek.co/author/Ruth-Morley.

So, you're ready to get down and dirty in the kitchen- but do you have the equipment you need to cook it in?   Well, we're here to give you real deal advice on what you need, and what you don't.    There are a ton of shiny pretty things to choose from when it comes to kitchen gear (no shame in splurging on them either)- but there's ALOT you can do with the basic essentials we share here.    Also, be sure to listen in on our easy breezy spring recipes that will carry you through the holidays effortlessly.    Let's unlock your kitchen confidence!   Mariela & Eric   Lets Connect!    

Not having a well stocked fridge is costing you.  There's always a better way to do things, and just like Lisa Simpson, we're answering the question that no one asked- but SHOULD be asking:    “What should you stock in your freezer?”  

How do low-effort, high-payoff recipes sound?   We're all about making cooking easy, approachable, and fun- and this 3rd installment of our kitchen basics series is our crown jewel.    Keeping pantry staples on a budget that work FOR you is the name of the game in this episode, and the tips (so many tips) we chat about today will change your approach to all things canned and/or dry.   This pantry items list will be as much a workhorse for you as photo shop is to ALL the Kardashians- even Khloe (remember when she was our favorite?).    Let's unlock your kitchen confidence!   Mariela & Eric   Let's Connect!    

What's the perfect recipe to learn how to cook?   Learning how to cook for beginners can seem like a daunting task- but we're here to show you what cooking looks like in the real world.   You won't find impossible recipes or cooking lessons you won't ever be able to implement into your everyday life here.    We're all about teaching cooking basics from the lens of the busy, budgeted, and hungry who are willing to discover how to cook and make it a good time.    So, pull up a chair and let's get to know each other. Let's unlock your kitchen confidence!   Mariela & Eric   Let's Connect!    

What's the deal with the zillion cooking oil options on the market?   Using fats and oils in your cooking is essential, but which ones do you need, and which cooking fats are a waste of time?   One of the main building blocks of learning how to cook is knowing which oil is best for cooking and when to use them.   Fear not, we've got your back- and we're demystifying which is the best olive oil for cooking, which is the best cooking oil for frying, and which oils you MUST have on hand to build a functioning and delicious kitchen.   So, stop fearing fat and have a chat with us.     Let's unlock your kitchen confidence!   Mariela & Eric   Let's Connect!    

What are the ESSENTIAL spices for cooking?   Using spices in cooking can be tricky if you don't know which are the best seasonings to use and when.   In today's episode, we're covering THE list of common spices you should have in your kitchen to make your life easier and more delicious.    Spices and seasonings need not be intimidating - and we're showing you why (with lots of giggles along the way).    Drop the bland life and come on over to our seasoning list world of joy and flavor!   Let's unlock your kitchen confidence!   Mariela & Eric   Let's Connect!    

Sometimes it's good to get back to basics. And if you're cooking from home, a well stocked spice cabinet can be the difference between bland and fabulous. Simple dishes can be made into something memorable by adding the right spices. In this episode we're going to go over the basic things that most people would like to have in their cabinet. They are not expensive, and should be accessible. In another episode, we're going to go over some of the more unusual spices. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/detroit-conjure-llc-festi/support

It's time to get back to basics! It's easy to get caught up in the latest advancements and headlines related to health and sustainability but one of the simplest things you can do for yourself and the planet is to cook at home.  In this episode, Cait Mizzi, a functional nutritionist, joins my co-host James Connolly to chat about the fundamentals of cooking and kitchen set-up.

S2E3 Happy Thanksgiving! Food, memories, family—on this episode of Smidgen, host Anne Milneck explores each of these elements as she tries to get to the bottom of a childhood Thanksgiving memory she has about a turkey being dropped and the chaos that ensued. As often happens with family memories, it is hard to get one consistent version of events (despite Anne asking several key family members.) After this venture into “turkey true crime,” Anne talks with her son-in-law Ben about a five-alarm event from last Thanksgiving to illustrate that even disasters don’t have to derail a happy holiday. Next, Anne takes some questions from listeners (recorded at our recent Smidgen podcast live recording) about some real-world Thanksgiving issues. Stuffing or dressing; cooking for two; gravy; non-turkey main dishes; and the dreaded clean-up are some of the topics covered. Cooking Segment: Anne and Lili Courtney hit the kitchen to prove that when it comes to Thanksgiving, sides are where it is at with Cast Iron Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. (Can you smell the bacon already?) Mentioned on the show: - RECIPE: Cast Iron Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. Celebrate peak Brussels sprout with this divine side that goes from stovetop to oven to table in your cast iron. - Smoky and delicious, these Brussels are made with Cranberry Balsamic and our available-year-round Cranberry Maple Rub. - Try a new stuffing recipe that is similar to a savory bread pudding. Our Wild Mushroom and Sourdough Stuffing is ready to become your new obsession. - Anne can recommend these turkey stocks (to be used in a pinch) or if you are deep frying your turkey. Kitchen Basics and Swanson.  - Need a little color on your Thanksgiving table? Make a Quick Pickled Red Onion to bring zing and a splash of red to the buffet or table. - Brine turkey easily, wet or dry; breasts only or whole bird. Try the Red Stick Spice Turkey Brine if going wet. Try Anne’s signature combination Dry Brine. - If you want to try something different as your Thanksgiving main dish, consider Crawfish Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Tasso Cream Sauce or a ham baked up with the Red Stick Spice Ham Glaze.  - Embrace Autumn with our seasonal blends here. Anne's go to favorites are Autumn Spice Blend and Pumpkin Pie Spice. - Use discount code SMIDGEN15 to save 15% your entire order at Red Stick Spice Co, special for you, our Smidgen listener. We send you and yours all the best for this Thanksgiving, and tidings for un-dropped turkeys and no dishes engulfed in flames. Tell us about your holiday on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com Welcome to Autumn! I love the month of October! I miss seeing the leaves change color, but the pictures I have stored in my memory are serving me well, while I live in Florida. The fall also brings up fond memories of my grand-mother cooking pumpkin and squash this time of year.  Butternut Squash is soooo good for you! Here are some incredible healthy reasons to eat Butternut Squash: #1.   1 Cup of Butternut Squash has about 500mg of Potassium, which helps lower your blood pressure. #2.   1 Cup also contains about 7 gms of Fiber, which will prevent constipation and maintain a healthy digestive tract by supporting the "good bacteria" in your gut. #3.   Butternut squash is loaded with vitamin A—one cup of squash has over 350 percent of the recommended daily allowance , which is important for healthy eyesight.     #4.    Manganese is also in Butternut Squash, which helps your body maintain healthy bones.  #5.   With half of the daily required dose of Vitamin C contained in one cup, you may have fewer wrinkles in your face. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined links between vitamin C and skin aging in over 4,000 women aged 40-74, and found that higher intakes of vitamin C were linked to a lower likelihood of wrinkles and dryness of the skin. Vitamin C may not cure the common cold, but it may help reduce the length of time you have one, or reduce the risk of developing further complications, such as a lung infection or pneumonia.    #6.   Butternut Squash also contains the anti-oxidant "betacrytoxanthin," which reduces your risk of inflammation type of disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. #7.   With 1 cup having less than 100 calories, 26 gms of Carbohydrates and just about "el zero" gms of fat in one cup, your body will naturally feel full with all that fiber. When you feel full, you will naturally eat less and less calories will mean more weight loss! L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that helps your body make proteins and certain “brain-signaling” chemicals. Your body will convert L-Tryptophan into “Serotonin,” which helps your body regulate your “mood” your “sexual desire” and helps you fall asleep more naturally. 1 oz of Pumpkin Seeds has 161mg of Tryptophan, which is (58% RDI)….that’s how you make yourself “Feel Good” Naturally! With Serotonin being a “Happy” neurotransmitter for your brain, and Butternut Squash helping you feel full & satisfied…..what could be better than a hearty stew to make you feel full….sexy…. and Happy? Here’s a delicious, hearty, Butternut Squash Soup…. I want to share with you this week. Your belly will feel full and YOU will FEEL happy!   Make Me Happy Soup Makes about 4-6 Servings Ingredients 4  Medium Sweet Potatoes 2  can of White “Great Northern” Beans (15-16oz) rinsed good. 3   cans of Diced Tomatoes (no salt added) 1 Tbls. of Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend (No bad salt in Mrs. Dash) 2  Cup of Diced Peppers (I use Red. Use Green if you want) 1 ½  Tbls of Minced Garlic Paste (Amore – 3.02 oz tube in most stores) 2   32 oz container of Kitchen Basics low sodium chicken broth 2  package of fresh or frozen diced butternut squash (15-16oz each) 1  Cup of Raw, hulled Pumpkin Seeds 1  Cup of Raw, Organic Peanut Butter……I use “Once Again” Brand. The ingredients in Once Again Creamy Peanut Butter are……. Peanuts & Salt.       Instructions Peel sweet potatoes, cut into small cubes and put into the crock pot. Add the beans, tomatoes, peppers, seasoning, garlic paste & broth into the crock pot. Cook on high for 2 ½ - 3 hours or low for 4 -6 hrs, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir in the butternut squash the last 30 minutes of cooking time. Chop up the pumpkin seeds or put in a mini-chopper like I do. Stir into stew. Remove 1 Cup of the liquid from slow cooker when done and put in a bowl. Put the Peanut Butter into the bowl of liquid and stir or whisk until blended. Stir the Peanut Butter mixture back into the stew. Serve 2 Cups into your favorite cup or bowl. Add  ½ teaspoon of Sea Salt EAT and FEEL HAPPY!  It’s hard to say how many calories you’ll be eating, since I don’t know how many beans or other ingredients will be in your cup while you  eat it. Let’s play it safe and make an estimate of about  300-400  calories per 2 cup serving. I’ll tell you one thing……This is a Healthy & Happy Stew…..so don’t waste your time worrying about the calories in this Happy Stew! Freeze leftover stew in One Cup or Two Cup containers….so you’ll be able to defrost and eat this “Feel Good” Soup whenever you need it! Thanks so much for listening…….don’t forget to tell your friends & family about Weight Loss Nation! I could use your help in making others healthy!

Now for anyone with men or boys in the house this gift is a MUST have. If the seat is up the light is on. No more wet butts in the middle of the night. I love this idea!!! Website info: www.johnnylight.com contact info: Available by toll-free phone, 888-566-LITE (5483), at www.johnnylight.com, or any of more than 1,000 Lowe's Home Improvement Stores *********************************************************** 3. HANG A MOVIE STAR!! Hang a movie star on your wall with a movie poster from Just Movie Posters. Com. Now it’s possible to be eye to eye with stars from such films as: Bee Movie, Hellboy II—The Golden Army, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Mummy—Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Shrek The Third, The Strangers and more.

If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate….It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal – details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate …the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT “the best chocolate in the world.” It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldn’t You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate™ infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate “increases people’s well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%.” There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate™ is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit. We have great boxes for the holiday that include -- Gratitude, Peace and Joy. Here is the URL www.intentionalchocolate.com ************************************** 5. Very Eco-Friendly Gift to Give. The Olive Smart Sack, 6 reusable bags in one small sack, is a fun and unbelievably practical solution to bringing your own bags. The Sack is designed to fit into the cupholder of your car, and can easily fit into your purse, so that they are always available and you will never have to take consumable bags again. The Olive Smart bags come in a combination of 6 enduring colors, each with over a 20 lb capacity. The fabric is soft, durable and washable supplex nylon. One Sack, $39, can easily carry a whole cart of groceries. There is also the Olive Smart Half-Sack, a 3 bag ($24) solution. The handles on the bags in the half-sack are slightly longer so that you can sling them over your shoulder. The Olive Smart Sack and Half-Sack are stellar products for anyone who is committed to helping the environment and they make terrific gifts because everyone needs to have our own bags! Available online at www.olivesmart.com. ***************************************** 6. This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. It’s a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other “green” bag options is that it’s more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but they’ll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky. THIRD, the BeGreen bag is inexpensive and can be purchased online at www.begreennow.com for only $12.95. One other thing to note: If you examine the bag there’s a small tag inside that gives some statistics about using the bag, including the carbon avoided and the plastic bags avoided annually and per trip.The BeGreen Pod is ideal and not to mention an environmentally friendly, gift or “stocking stuffer” for this holiday season. ************************************************** 7.

It’s TRUE! Soapnuts are the fruit of a tree (Sapindus Mukorossi), found primarily in India, Indonesia, and Nepal, and they are an EXCELLENT alternative to traditional, chemical-laden detergents. How are soapnuts prepared for use in your wash? They are simply harvested, de-seeded, and then dried in the sun. That’s it! No chemicals or unnatural substances are involved! And they WORK — they really, really work! There are a ton of amazing things about soap nuts. They are 100%, totally natural. They are organically grown and are chemical-free, and they are incredibly gentle on clothes AND skin. They are especially great for those with sensitive skin — including babies and those that suffer from allergies, eczema, and psoriasis! They’re totally biodegradeable, so they’re better for the environment than regular detergent, and they’re antimicrobial, so they’re even good for septic and greywater systems! How do soapnuts work? The outer shell of the soapnut contains saponin, a natural substance known for its ability to cleanse and wash. (That’s what makes them so GREAT for cleaning your laundry!) And here’s a cool fact: soapnuts aren’t a new concept! They have been used to clean all kinds of fabric for centuries, and are only now gaining popularity in the Americas and Europe as a powerful, yet natural alternative to modern chemical detergents.

If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate….It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal – details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate …the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT “the best chocolate in the world.” It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldn’t You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate™ infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate “increases people’s well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%.” There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate™ is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit.

If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate….It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal – details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate …the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT “the best chocolate in the world.” It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldn’t You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate™ infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate “increases people’s well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%.” There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate™ is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit. We have great boxes for the holiday that include -- Gratitude, Peace and Joy. Here is the URL www.intentionalchocolate.com ************************************** 5. Very Eco-Friendly Gift to Give. The Olive Smart Sack, 6 reusable bags in one small sack, is a fun and unbelievably practical solution to bringing your own bags. The Sack is designed to fit into the cupholder of your car, and can easily fit into your purse, so that they are always available and you will never have to take consumable bags again. The Olive Smart bags come in a combination of 6 enduring colors, each with over a 20 lb capacity. The fabric is soft, durable and washable supplex nylon. One Sack, $39, can easily carry a whole cart of groceries. There is also the Olive Smart Half-Sack, a 3 bag ($24) solution. The handles on the bags in the half-sack are slightly longer so that you can sling them over your shoulder. The Olive Smart Sack and Half-Sack are stellar products for anyone who is committed to helping the environment and they make terrific gifts because everyone needs to have our own bags! Available online at www.olivesmart.com. ***************************************** 6. This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. It’s a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other “green” bag options is that it’s more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but they’ll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky. THIRD, the BeGreen bag is inexpensive and can be purchased online at www.begreennow.com for only $12.95. One other thing to note: If you examine the bag there’s a small tag inside that gives some statistics about using the bag, including the carbon avoided and the plastic bags avoided annually and per trip.The BeGreen Pod is ideal and not to mention an environmentally friendly, gift or “stocking stuffer” for this holiday season. ************************************************** 7.
