On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Comfort Food with food writer, baker, and novelist Aaron Hamburger (Hotel Cuba); Natalie Kalmar, founder of Fitness Foodie STL, and Marissa Rothkopf, author of The Secret Life of Chocolate Chip Cookies and host of The Secret Life of Cookies. They cover community, cookies, food advocacy, and so much more.

Goals

- Natalie: Stop shaming yourself for enjoying things that bring you comfort. Enjoy it! Also remember moderation

- Marissa: Share with others, if you are able to, whether it's bake, bring canned food to the local food pantry, or donate to World Central Kitchen

- Aaron: Have a great pantry at home, so you always have good food at your fingertips. You will be more likely to want to cook

Final Thoughts

- Aaron: Make an extra effort to be extra kind to others

- Natalie: Wishing everyone a stress free enjoyable holiday season. Find the joy!

- Marissa: Anybody can make pie crust. It's only a meal; if it doesn't turn out the way it's supposed to, it's fine. Always keep chickpeas in the kitchen
