Marigold Sweets joins First Smoke of the Day to break down everything you've ever wanted to know about edibles. From her time on Bong Appétit to becoming a leading voice in cannabis cooking, Vanessa dives deep into infusion techniques, dosing, decarboxylation, temperature control, concentrates vs flower, and how to make edibles that actually taste good.

If you always want a lil sweet treat... this episode is for you! This episode will help you decode your cravings (without shame)! Jesus reminds us that we do not live on bread alone—but on every word that comes from God (Matthew 4:3-4). That truth matters not only for our spiritual lives, but also for how we understand our bodies. Sometimes, even after a full meal, we still crave something sweet—and that doesn't mean we've failed or lacked self-control. Often, it means something deeper (at a soul-level) is asking for attention. In this episode, you'll learn: Why cravings are not sinful, but often informative Common physical reasons you may want something sweet after eating How underfueling, imbalance, restriction, dehydration, or eating too fast can play a role When cravings are about dopamine, comfort, or pleasure—not hunger How to build a “dopamine menu” so food isn't your only source of enjoyment Why dessert isn't the problem—but expecting food to meet every need is If you want help learning how to listen to your body while staying rooted in Scripture, you don't have to figure it out alone.
The 'Growing Grapevine' team takes you inside Kilwin's on Main Street to see how manager Elizabeth Bartlett gets ready for the day. While there are no fizzy lifting drinks or dangerous rivers of chocolate on this tour, you'll come to see Elizabeth's journey as its own kind of magic elevator ride.
It's a new year and we're doing something different! Karen takes us to the Land of Sweets and we discuss Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. Why this show endures, the importance of live musicians, and how a hot air balloon can change everything.
Most people don't get into trouble with desserts because of sugar. They get into trouble because of context. In this episode, Nate breaks down how he eats sweets, baked goods, and desserts without wrecking his energy, digestion, or body composition. This isn't rigid nutrition science or a fat loss "hack." It's a practical framework he follows about 70 percent of the time that works extremely well in the real world. You'll learn why eating dessert in isolation is the biggest mistake people make, how insulin really works as a nutrient traffic signal, and why pairing carbs with protein leads to very different outcomes than pairing carbs with fat. Using the green lights metaphor, Nate explains how carbs raise insulin, why insulin doesn't choose what gets stored, and how controlling what's already circulating in your body changes where those calories end up. The episode also covers the best times to eat dessert, including post workout and pre workout scenarios, plus what to do in worst case situations when dessert is happening no matter what. Nate outlines simple pairing strategies that reduce damage, improve recovery, and keep food from turning into a stressor. This episode is for anyone who wants to enjoy sweets without guilt, stop fearing carbs, and start eating like their body is a system instead of a morality test. Key topics covered: Why dessert itself isn't the problem The green lights metaphor for insulin and nutrient storage Why carbs plus fat is the worst pairing Why carbs plus protein works better Best and worst times to eat sweets The 70 percent rule for sustainable eating Carbs don't decide what gets stored. They decide how fast things move.
|沒想到會有解除封鎖的一天| 「你只是在專業地盡責,我卻在瘋狂地動心。」 前景提要|時間回到 2021 年,剛退伍的迪克正困在走樣體態帶來的極度焦慮中。透過安迪的介紹,他走進了查理的健身房。對查理來說,迪克只是一個需要幫助的學生;但對當時破碎的迪克而言,查理每一次推蹬的指導、每一句專業的鼓勵,都成了他過度解讀的溫柔。 在每個組間休息的眼神裡,迪克試圖捕捉並不存在的曖昧,想方設法在冰冷的器材間創造相處的火花。然而,查理越是細心、越是認真,迪克就越在「教練與學生」那條清晰的界線前感到挫敗。 這種「看得到卻觸碰不到」的距離,逐漸讓愛慕變質成不甘心。迪克一邊在查理面前努力維持學生的樣子,一邊卻在內心被無聲的拒絕反噬。最終,這場單方面的過度期待在壓力下徹底崩塌,那場不歡而散,與其說是兩人的爭執,不如說是迪克對這場荒謬單戀最心碎的抗議。 闊別多年,這份從未傳遞成功的「不甘心」始終懸在那裡。今日就要攤開來說。 ♥ 節目時間軸得給大家 00:00 最愛的日本零食團購回來了,熊貓蛋糕超可愛 09:21 該面對了,堪比我咖修羅場的訪問(偶有沈重情緒) 49:41 限量款男孩的誕生!新銳網黃怎麼會橫空出世 ♥ 也歡迎大家多多善用Fansone!來看限量款男孩新作 -

CJ Bruce is the Founder and CEO of The Missing Ingredient, a Sacramento-based food marketing agency that helps healthful and sustainable food and beverage brands grow. The agency specializes in performance marketing, paid media, influencer campaigns, and AI-driven strategies. Since 2016, CJ has led a team of 15, working with brands like Amy's Kitchen, Sumo Citrus, Baskin-Robbins, and Milk Bar. A certified plant-based chef and former food influencer, he combines his passion for food and technology to help brands stand out, connect with consumers, and scale. In this episode… What makes some food products stand out while others fade into obscurity? Why do certain brands go viral, gaining devoted fans almost overnight, while others never leave the shelves? Could the secret lie in the right mix of marketing creativity, influencer partnerships, and technology? As noted by food marketing veteran CJ Bruce, the intersection of creative passion, tactical strategy, and AI integration defines the modern path to success. He highlights the importance of building genuine relationships with influencers rather than relying on one-off partnerships, creatively engaging consumers through contests, and leveraging digital workflows to scale brands quickly. By combining micro-influencer campaigns, viral video content, and AI-driven processes, even niche products can gain cult followings and achieve measurable growth. He emphasizes that balancing technology with authentic human connection is key to capturing attention in today's fast-moving food landscape. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with CJ Bruce, Founder and CEO of The Missing Ingredient, to discuss mastering food and beverage brand growth in the digital era. They explore how CJ uses AI to streamline campaigns, the strategies behind viral influencer marketing, and how to tap into emerging food trends for rapid growth. CJ also shares practical tools and workflows that help brands scale while staying agile.
This week on Not Your Granny's Quilt Show, my guest is Charles Cameron of Felt Like Sweets. If you know him, you know his work. Charles creates striking, expressive quilts and shares his thoughtful approach to improv quilting through workshops and lectures with guilds and quilters around the world. Charles began quilting about seven years ago after discovering the work of Pie Lady Quilts. Her improv style struck a chord, so he ordered some fabric and jumped in with a stack of fat quarters and a prayer. By reverse engineering the styles that inspired him online, Charles developed his own improv methods, began designing patterns, and never looked back. Since his first quilt, Charles's work has been featured in Quilt Folk Magazine, QuiltCon Magazine, Curated Quilts, and more. His quilts are currently on display at the National Quilt Museum through March 24, 2026, and he will also be teaching a workshop March 12 through 14, so be sure to grab your spot. Charles's curiosity and willingness to dive in and figure things out have inspired quilters everywhere to think outside the box, explore new ideas, and trust the skills they already have. This is an energizing and encouraging conversation you will not want to miss.Want to see more?

Leslie Iwerks and her team searched through over 100 hours of raw material from Disneyland in its earliest days. - https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disneyland-handcrafted-release-date-and-more-details/ The first part of the Disneyland Forward project has a permit, with work beginning soon. The permit is for a 3.2 million square foot, 8-level open parking structure with 302 EV charging spots. This is the first part that needs to be completed before the additional capacity can be built and opened with the rest of the project. The new structure should hold 6,000 vehicles and feature a rideshare area, and transit hub. Construction is predicted to begin after runDisney at the end of January, since the space is currently used to facilitate the event. - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-files-permit-for-eastern-parking-structure/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioc6c8v6HIY At the milk stand in Galaxy's Edge, we have had blue milk, green milk, and now a new color - pink milk!

Haddy, a 3D printing company, has partnered with Disney to create a boat that will be installed in The Jungle Cruise as a prop. The process from design to completion will be sped up with the 3D printing process, as opposed to the previous molding process that could take thousands of hours to get just right. The new 3D printing technique only takes 70 robot hours. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/12/22/news-disney-uses-3d-printing-to-create-new-ride-elements/ As the holiday season winds down, the refurbishment calendar is heating up. The Mark Twain Riverboat will be closing on January 12th through the 16th, the Haunted Mansion will return to the non-holiday overlay from January 11th through the 23rd.

Bedtime History: Inspirational Stories for Kids and Families
The Nutcracker is one of the most famous ballets in the world, and its unforgettable music was written by Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky. First performed in 1892, the ballet tells the magical story of Clara, her Nutcracker toy, and their journey to the Land of Sweets. While the ballet wasn't very popular at first, it later became a holiday tradition, especially in the United States. Today, millions of people watch The Nutcracker every December. This episode explores Tchaikovsky's life, how he wrote the music, and why the ballet has become a beloved holiday classic. Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App
This week, we're celebrating the holidays by looking beyond, into global stories that shape the season. First, we talk with Hetty Lui McKinnon about her new book, Linger: Salads, Sweets and Stories to Savor, and what the holidays look like in Australia, where Christmas is hot and the seafood markets buzz at midnight. Hetty reflects on the vegetable forward meals that defined her Chinese Australian upbringing and leaves us with her recipe for Coronation Cauliflower and Chickpeas. Then, we turn to writer Yasmin Khan for a deeper look at Yalda Night, the Persian winter solstice celebration that reminds us of the return of the sun, after the longest night of the year. Her latest cookbook, Sabzi: Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes, explores vibrant vegetarian cooking rooted in Persian culture. Yasmin shares how Yalda brings people together through poetry, pomegranates, and seasonal comforts, and leaves us with her recipe for Eggplant Fesenjan.Broadcast dates for this episode: December 19, 2025 (originally aired)Subscribe to @TheSplendidTable on YouTube for full podcast episodes and full-length video interviews!Generous listeners like you make The Splendid Table possible.

The conversation drifts through the books that shaped her craft — Michel Suas' Advanced Bread and Pastry, Jeffrey Hamelman's Bread, Sarah Owens' Sourdough, and Martin Philip's Breaking Bread — and into the broader world of flavor, inspiration, and community that keeps her baking.Mentioned in this episode:Kate's Bread microbakery + NewsletterAshley Lima photographySan Francisco Baking InstituteMichel Suas, "Advanced Bread and Pastry: A Professional Approach" (SFBI Textbook)Jeffrey Hamelman, “Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes”Sarah Owens, “Sourdough: Recipes for Rustic Fermented Breads, Sweets, Savories, and More”Martin Philip, “Breaking Bread: A Baker's Journey Home in 75 Recipes”Michael James, “The Tivoli Road Baker”David Leibovitz, “My Paris Kitchen: Recipes and Stories”Tadashi Ono, Harris Salat, “Japanese Soul Cooking: Ramen, Tonkatsu, Tempura, and More from the Streets and Kitchens of Tokyo and Beyond”Joshua McFadden, “Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables”Rebekah Peppler, Le Sud Kitchen Tape is hosted by Rose Wilde @trosewilde and Crystal Slonecker @crystalslonecker, edited by Dressler Parsons @dresslerparsons of The Regenerative Baking Podcast, with original theme music by Dan Crabtree.Follow us on Instagram @kitchentapepodcast and hit like and subscribe to stay up to date on new episodes and behind-the-scenes crumbs.
For the 100th ride around this unhinged wheel of nightmares, Arthur and Steve decided subtlety can go cry in a corner. They show up fully transformed into Snagz and Mr. Sweets, stomping into the studio like two escaped fever dreams ready to break the internet.This episode goes live with all the chaos the Dark Carousel faithful expect. Mr. Sweets (Steve) comes in swinging his bat like he's conducting an orchestra of fear. Snagz (Arthur) looks like he crawled out of a meat locker, cackling like someone dared him to behave. Spoiler: he didn't.Then Arthur, in a moment of spectacular self-sabotage, hooks a TENS machine to “the boys.” It goes exactly how you think. He twitches, jerks, convulses, and basically Irish-step-dances in his chair while Steve tries not to pass out from laughing. The viewers get a live-action reminder that Arthur's pain threshold is questionable at best, nonexistent at worst.Between the costumes, the electric chaos, and the two of them roasting each other like it's a competitive sport, this episode isn't just a milestone. It's a full-blown circus riot.100 episodes. No filters. No brakes. No dignity.This carousel will never stop spinning.

This past week, locations were removed from the service. Disney's Wonderful World of Sweets in Downtown Disney, Pooh Corner, and Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen in Disneyland, Bing Bong's Sweets, and Trolley Treats in Disney California Adventure are no longer using the system. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/11/22/news-mobile-order-removed-from-some-locations-on-disneyland-app/ Buying tickets to the Disneyland Resort might start to look more like booking tickets on an airline in the coming years. Dynamic pricing, or the ability for Disney to change the pricing depending on several factors throughout the day, week, or year, is already in place at Disneyland Paris, and according to Disney Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston, might be coming to the US parks. Ultimately, this will remove flat-rate pricing for specific days, and go to a range of prices for a day, which can vary based on attendance and weather, to name a few. - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disney-parks-dynamic-pricing-coming-to-domestic-parks/ As the expansion to Avenger's Campus continues, Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the recent progress, which includes the canopy connecting Avenger's Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab being assembled.

Enhancements will include play areas inspired by Altadena's Deodar Cedar pinecones, a splash pad, bridges, boulders, slides, swings… and what looks like a grove of giant clovers which might be from the old Bug's Land. - https://www.micechat.com/427679-disneyland-news-holiday-hights-lows-pricing-woes-talking-tree/ Olaf coming to Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoPN02bmzrE https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRcmtaHChvF/?igsh=MXN2d2t1aHBiaGxw SnackChat: Disney Recipe Ideas for Thanksgiving Leftovers - https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disney-eats-thanksgiving-leftovers-recipes-from-disney-parks/ Lunch coming to River Belle Terrace - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-river-belle-terrace-adds-lunch/ TriviaLand: Pirates of the Caribbean ride through - https://youtu.be/SakgAjh6xc4?si=FsCigo3y89B7dePE Discussion Topic: Director, Animator, and Tiki Enthusiast Paul Briggs - https://instagram.com/paul_briggs_tiki https://archive.org/details/the-illusion-of-life-disney-animation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The "Call of the Day" features Jim from the Jersey Shore, a furious Yankee fan who "savages" Brandon Tierney for not being more aggressive in his criticism of Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner. Jim blasts Hal as a "trust fund puke" for complaining about the team's payroll during the COVID pandemic and vows a boycott, calling any attending fan a "sucker." The passionate rant leads to a discussion about accountability: Sal suggests frustrated Yankee fans should raise their kids as Mets fans, noting that Steve Cohen's spending ensures management is held accountable. The hosts then debate a great listener question: Which GM—Cashman or Stearns—would be better at operating under a hypothetical salary cap? They conclude that Stearns' experience in Milwaukee gives him the edge
Fairy tale retelling are having a moment, a moment that has extended for, like, millennia, but now the trend feels particularly hot. Host Susan Maguire sat down with librarian and Booklist reviewer Lucy Lockley about what's behind the fanfare and some titles and authors you should know.

Finally, Books for Youth's Ronny Khuri and I chatted about picture books about poop and other topics. We cover everything!

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 12th Publish Date: November 12th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, November 12th and Happy Birthday to Al Michaels I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb, Marietta teaching excellence pays off — in horsepower Nathan Deal calls for civility, bipartisanship GMDT’s The Nutcracker will be Thanksgiving weekend All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Cobb, Marietta teaching excellence pays off — in horsepower This week, two of Cobb County’s best teachers got the surprise of a lifetime—a brand-new car to drive for a year. In a tradition that never gets old, the Cobb Chamber, with help from Voyles Automotive Group, handed out free one-year car leases at their monthly luncheon. Hailey Howdyshell, a first-grade teacher at Hickory Hill Elementary, drove off in a sleek Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, while Amanda Dillard, a special ed teacher at Pope High, snagged a Kia Telluride. Other honorees? Caleb Garrett (Compton Elementary) got a Honda Passport, and Lakeisha Gray (Betty Gray Middle) scored a Jeep Wrangler. Teachers, you deserve it. STORY 2: Nathan Deal calls for civility, bipartisanship Former Gov. Nathan Deal didn’t hold back this week when he spoke to the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, urging lawmakers to ditch the shouting matches and rediscover bipartisanship. In a candid chat with Superior Plumbing CEO Jay Cunningham, Deal reflected on how politics has changed—and not for the better. “It used to be you had to prove you could govern,” he said. “Now, it’s just about who yells the loudest and raises the most money.” Deal, who led Georgia from 2011 to 2019, highlighted his bipartisan work on criminal justice reform, calling it “the right thing,” not a political win. Before wrapping up, Deal shared a personal project: his children’s book, Veto the Governor’s Cat, inspired by his late wife, Sandra. “Kids listen to animals more than adults sometimes,” he joked. The book teaches lessons on courage, patience, and embracing differences. Cunningham called Deal “a man of humility and integrity,” thanking him for his service to Georgia. STORY 3: GMDT’s The Nutcracker will be Thanksgiving weekend The Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre is bringing the magic of The Nutcracker back to Marietta this holiday season, with performances Nov. 28-30 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre. Picture this: the Stahlbaum family’s festive party, a mysterious magician stirring up chaos, toy soldiers battling giant mice, and a journey through a snowy forest to the dazzling Kingdom of Sweets. It’s everything you love about the holidays, wrapped in one enchanting ballet. This year’s cast features dancers as young as seven alongside high school seniors, plus guest artists Alex Gonzaga, Raul Peinado, and D Patton White. Tickets start at $25—grab yours at georgiametrodance.org! We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: Smyrna man accused of DUI after crash leaves driver seriously injured Eriberto Cante, 25, of Smyrna, is facing serious charges after a crash on Oct. 12 at the intersection of Church Street and N. Marietta Parkway. Police say Cante, driving a blue 2003 Toyota Rav4, ran a red light and was hit on the passenger side by another car with the right of way. The collision, caught on Cobb County’s Real Time Crime Center cameras, left a man unconscious with a brain bleed and fractured ribs. Officers reported smelling alcohol on Cante, who admitted to drinking five Modelo beers earlier. His blood alcohol level? A staggering .234. He also didn’t have a valid license. Cante was arrested Oct. 24 and released three days later on a $15,000 bond. STORY 5: Pro women's soccer team could be headquartered in Marietta Arthur Blank, the billionaire behind Atlanta United and the Falcons, is reportedly bringing an NWSL expansion team to Atlanta, according to The Athletic. The price tag? A record $165 million. The team, set to debut after the 2026 season, will play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, just like Blank’s other teams. But will it call Marietta home? Atlanta United’s $90 million training facility on Franklin Gateway seems like a natural fit. With six fields, a podcast studio, and plans for hydrotherapy rooms, it’s already top-notch. Plus, Blank owns extra land nearby—plenty of room to grow. Marietta Councilman Johnny Walker is hopeful. “It’d be a win-win,” he said. Break: STORY 6: Mayor Tumlin reelected as Cobb County certifies tight race It’s official: Steve “Thunder” Tumlin will stay Marietta’s mayor, edging out challenger Sam Foster by just 89 votes. The Cobb County Board of Elections certified the Nov. 4 results Monday, locking in Tumlin’s 50.3% to Foster’s 49.7%. Close? Absolutely. Turnout was low—just 24.9% of Cobb’s 565,686 eligible voters showed up. Most voted on Election Day, but Acting Elections Director Michael D’Itri noted a few hiccups: abandoned ballots, long lines at Thompson Community Center, and a handful of discrepancies. “It was a tough day,” D’Itri admitted, but praised poll workers for pulling it off. Runoffs for Marietta City Council Wards 3 and 5 are set for Dec. 2. Early voting starts Nov. 22. STORY 7: Braves complete coaching staff, retain Hyers, Perez The Atlanta Braves shook up their coaching staff Tuesday, announcing a mix of familiar faces and fresh hires for Walt Weiss’ first year at the helm. Tim Hyers is back as hitting coach for his second season, and Eddie Perez—yes, the 1999 NLCS MVP—is returning for his 37th year with the organization. That’s loyalty. New faces? Tommy Watkins takes over as third base coach after years with the Twins, Dustin Garneau steps in as catching coach, and Darnell Coles joins as assistant hitting coach, bringing over a decade of experience. Tony Diaz rounds out the group as a major league coach. Oh, and Tony Mansolino, originally hired as third base coach, will now serve as Weiss’ bench coach. Big moves all around. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 7 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

Cynthia Tice started Lily's Sweets at the age of 60 and sold it to Hersey's 11 years later for $400 Million. Wow! Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So, here's one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. I'm Dave Young, that guy next to me is Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. We're talking about businesses that started with nothing and grew to be huge, as we say. And today, Stephen whispered in my ear the topic and I've never heard of it. No idea. Stephen Semple: Yay, finally stumped. It doesn't stump Dave very often. Dave Young: Thanks for listening to The Empire Builders Podcast. That's all we've got for you today. Oh, no, wait. Stephen Semple: Because clearly if Dave- Dave Young: Oh, wait. Stephen Semple: Because clearly if Dave's not heard about it, it's not interesting. Dave Young: Wait a minute. I forgot to have you tell me about them, so go ahead. Go ahead with your little story there, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Yeah, so it's a company called Lily's Sweets. Now, they're a chocolate company and they make sugar-free chocolate. And I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of them, but here's the reason why I think they're worth talking about, is 11 years after the business started by Cynthia Tice, it was sold to Hershey's for $400 million. Dave Young: That's a nice little getaway. Stephen Semple: Yeah, that's worth talking about. Don't you think? Dave Young: So it's owned by Hershey's now. Stephen Semple: It's owned by Hershey's now. Dave Young: Do they still operate under the name Lily's Sweets or is it all just a- Stephen Semple: Yes, they do. Dave Young: ... Hershey's conglomerated candy corporation. Stephen Semple: The bar is called Lily's Sweets, so you can still get Lily's Sweets bars. They're made by Hershey's. And as I said, Cynthia sold it to the company after 11 years for- Dave Young: 11 years? Stephen Semple: ... $400 million. Yes. Dave Young: That's brilliant. Stephen Semple: Now, here's the other thing is she started the company at the fine young age of 60. Dave Young: I love this story. Stephen Semple: Right? Now you understand why I wanted to share this story. Dave Young: There may yet be hope. Stephen Semple: And so they do these sugar-free chocolates, and the goal for her was always to make a good, enjoyable chocolate product. Because we go back to early days of the sugar-free products, they were marketed to people who are diabetic and who are trying to lose weight, and they really didn't taste good. But the anti-sugar movement triggered something that was bigger because people started to discover that sugar's tied in inflammation, and there's been this explosion in these products. To give you an idea, in 2024, the no-sugar chocolate area as a category doubled. That's how much the growth is. Dave Young: 2004? Stephen Semple: 2024. So still even today- Dave Young: 2024. Doubled in '24? Stephen Semple: Still even today, yes, the growth is really rapid. But this is what Cynthia saw, so let's go back to 2008 in Philadelphia. Cynthia Tice is a food consultant and a graduate of Temple University. And Temple University is actually a big presence in Philadelphia. I had a chance to speak at Temple and it's in downtown Philly, and downtown Philly's pretty neat. And look, if you're ever in Philadelphia, you have to go do the Rocky statue, right? Dave Young:

Cofield and his company dive into the fun and chaos of Halloween, breaking down the best and worst costumes and candies. The conversation shifts from sweets to sports as they debate college football rumors about G League players possibly joining the college ranks and react to the NFL's latest controversy with the Ravens being fined over Lamar Jackson. They also touch on the Jaguars losing Travis Hunter right before their matchup with the Raiders Tim and Matt Neverett join Cofield to talk Rebels football and the energy surrounding the team's impressive 6–1 start. They dive into why fans being upset over a single loss is actually a good sign, which is proof that expectations are higher than ever. They also discuss the major roster improvements, UNLV's growing potential to collect trophies across multiple sports. Cofield then hears from UNLV's Alani Makihele, who shares his perspective on the team's growing expectations and what it means to be part of a program that's building something special. Makihele talks about the pride that comes with representing UNLV and the excitement surrounding the team's success this season.

Desserts without drama? Yes, please. In this candid, mom-and-dad chat, I bring my husband Josh on to talk about how we handle sweets at home—without bribes, battles, or obsession. We unpack the counterintuitive strategy of serving dessert with meals, the fears that come up (sugar! meltdowns!), and what actually happened when we offered puppy chow […] The post Stop the Sugar Battles—How We Handle Sweets with Josh Miller appeared first on Nutrition for Littles.
Halloween is here and so are the overflowing candy buckets, sugar highs, and parental questions about how much is too much. In this episode, Tara, Elizabeth, and Maria have a real, honest conversation about what it looks like to help kids enjoy Halloween candy without guilt, fear, or restriction. You'll hear personal stories from childhood Halloween memories, the “Switch Witch” phase, and how each host has evolved in their approach as parents. Together, they break down how to raise intuitive eaters who can enjoy the fun of Halloween and learn how to listen to their bodies. In this episode: Why restricting candy often leads to binging later How to give kids freedom around sweets without losing structure What “intuitive eating for families” actually looks like in practice The power of letting kids experience their body's feedback (“my tummy hurts”) How to talk about candy without making it “good” or “bad” Setting up mealtimes that help everyone feel nourished before the candy rush Modeling self-compassion and balance—for your kids and yourself Wellness: Rebranded is turning 3 years old!

Food Network star Zac Young returns to the pod to catch up with Jaymee to talk about the 10-year anniversary of his viral PieCaken creation, from humble beginnings to holiday tradition, and why it still surprises him every year. He dishes on Sprinkletown, his shop that balances playful creativity with customer favorites, and how his love of pastry unexpectedly translates into home renovation projects. Then it's all things Halloween as Zac previews Season 11 of Halloween Baking Championship. He teases the haunted mansion set, outrageous costumes, and the new twist that forces bakers to “bake for their lives.” Zac also shares behind-the-scenes stories with fellow judges Carla Hall, Stephanie Boswell, and host John Henson. Rapid fire covers everything from his biggest fear to Broadway dream roles, guilty-pleasure snacks, and which childhood treat he wishes would return.
