Cooking Your Way Through Life

This is the Season 4 question for everyone and it's, if you could have any super power what would it be?  This episode turned out so cool and I never would have guessed what people choose, also it's funny that the 2 chefs on the this season choose the same power lol.

This is the last episode of Season 4 and it is appropriately named too because I think I've moved on from so many things this year already.  We discuss our past choices and decisions with moving on as well as give you some tips and tricks how not to get stuck or overthink the idea of moving on.  Today I created a dessert inspired by ChefLeen herself and it is an Apple Cheesecake Crumb Pie, which turned out to be really delicious.

On today's episode I wanted to explore the idea of understanding the narrative.  Lot's of times we are told what the narrative is in a situation and we throw our common sense out the window to believe it.  Sometimes your gut tells you the real narrative and you are just afraid to go against what your are being told.  Also today I make a version of a surf and turf using two of my favorite proteins, duck and scallops.

Today's episode really goes over why having perspective can really change your entire life.  Sometimes we are going through things or just not in a good space and if we stop and look at it differently everything can change.  I also make my favorite cake of all time, pineapple upside cake.

You might have seen my co-host Tinesha on Million Dollar Listings, but today she tells you some real tea about her industry.  We talk everything from nepotism to faking it online and not backing it up in person.  We also make an amazing pineapple teriyaki salmon skewer with a spinach salad.
