Today I'm chatting with one of the OG Vegetarian/Vegan cookbook authors, Nava Atlas, who was publishing cookbooks on the subject WAY before eating plant-based was popular.

John Shuman is the President and CEO of Schuman Farms, a family-owned farm in Reidsville, Georgia that has been growing RealSweet Vidalia Onions for over 35 years. It was so great to get to chat with John since he truly is an expert when it comes to these delicious onions. We learn all about Vidalia onion season, how Vidalias are similar to Champagne, and how John's farm cleverly diversified to make sure sweet onions were available to customers year-round.Links:Schuman FarmsRealSweet.comIG: @realsweetonionsFried Potatoes and OnionsSubway Copycat Sweet Onion SauceFrench Onion SoupCucumber SaladOnion GravySteak MarinadeIG: @COOKtheSTORYAll New Chicken CookbookRecipe of the Day PodcastRecipe of the Day Facebook Group
Loot, loot and more loot! How do you handle all of that loot you give to your PCs? How do you keep it interesting? Is there more to roleplaying than just the accumulation of loot? We chat all about loot in this episode of RotD!
My guest this week is Dorella Walters, Senior Director of Business Development & Community Partnerships at God's Love We Deliver, the AMAZING New York City charity that cooks and home-delivers nutritious, medically-tailored meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves. We talk about how many people they serve (11,000!), the logistics of cooking and delivering 3.4 million meals, how they are working (with the White House!) to raise awareness nationally of the importance of providing medically-tailored meals, and how this emerging service can result in huge cost savings in the healthcare sector.Links:God's Love We DeliverIG: @godslovenycFood is Medicine CoalitionGround Beef and Rice SkilletChimichurri SauceMediterranean Eggplant BurgerShrimp BurgerThe Best MargaritaThe Best Pico de Gallocookthestory@gmail.comTikTok: @cookthestoryAll New Chicken CookbookRecipe of the Day PodcastRecipe of the Day Facebook Group
