Getting Hot In The Kitchen

This week's show will be both "sweet and sour" and, definitely, very savoury ... just like pickles. Dr. Dave™ and Venus are helping to celebrate National Pickle Day 2016 with some great information and recipe suggestions including the numerous health benefits that come with pickling foods. From "baby gherkins" to "classic dills", "pickled eggs" to "sauerkraut" ... we have got you covered.

What is being Vegan all about? Tune in for a lively discussion all about being a Vegan including what you can and cannot eat as well as some really cool recipes ideas for some fabulous vegan dishes. Of course, Dr. Dave™ will be discussing some of great health benefits you can expect by going vegan while Venus' "Weird, Wild and Wacky" segment is sure to entertain. Sometimes, Vegans get a bad wrap in the "foodie community" ... let us show you how you can go vegan while enjoying some really tasty meals. Please call in to discuss your reasons for going vegan, when you converted and to share some of your food experiences with us.

Dr. Dave™ and Venus love Halloween. With all the various traditions from doning costumes and makeup through to bobbing for apples, this time of year is so fascinating. It is one of the best times for family and friends to come together to celebrate the richness of life. Please join us to share your specific plans for this time of year including whether or not your kids go trick or treating or you prefer to attend more organized community events. Get ready to carve your pumpkin with us folks ... spooky is good!

This week, Dr. Dave™ and Venus will be discussing National Food Day for October 24, 2016.

One of the targets that Food Day aims to help people is to “Eat Real,” which is defined by them as “cutting back on sugar drinks, overly salted packaged foods and fatty, factory-farmed meats in favor of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and sustainably raised protein.”

Please join Dr. Dave™ and Venus Quintana for a lively discussion centered around World Food Day 2016. There are so many less fortunate people in all parts of the World and right here at home in North America. What can each and every one of us do to make a difference? You can start by tuning in this week and discussing your particular strategies for your own community. And then we can chat about the World community as a whole. We are all in this together folks.

Please join us this week for a lively discussion centered around the Columbus Day holiday. There is such a rich history of this wonderful holiday with many great traditions, wonderful foods, spices and so much more. Let us know what you and your family or friends do to celebrate this time of year.

Dr. Dave™ and Venus are back on the air after a one week break due to the US Presidential Debate coverage on Monday, September 26, 2016. This episode is all about the wonderful Flavors of Fall including harvest themed foods like pumpkin pie, root vegetables, spices like cinammon, nutmeg and cloves. While the leaves change color and fight their eventual demise, we will explore some of our most favorite seasonal events, foods and beverages during the Fall of 2016.

Dr. Dave™ and Venus recently returned from a short trip to Cape Cod for the first time ever. Instead of just "hitting the beaches" like many are want to do, they explored the entire region quite extensively and would love to share some of the sights, sounds and flavors of this geographic wonderland with you.

Dr. Dave™ and Venus Quintana are enjoying some time away this Labor Day 2016. Please enjoy this replay from last year, "The Flavors of Fall". After all, whether you like it or not ... Fall is indeed on the way!

This week, Dr. Dave™ and Venus will get a chance to visit Cape Cod for the first time ever. Like many of our listeners, Labor Day can spell the "end of Summer" ... but it does NOT have to! We have had some incredible weather lately and expect it to continue well into late September. We refuse to give up on Summer 2016! How about you?
