Mirepoix Taste Buds

Season 3 comes to a close and reveals a twist in the plot! This is our 100th episode (not including some small bonus content we peppered in over the years) and we don't intend on dropping any new ones in 2024. We will be taking an extended hiatus which should give listeners a chance to revisit some of the moments they've missed. Farewell and Happy New Year!

Love,

Your Buds

At the turn of the 20th century, half of Americans were farmers. Now that number is less than 2%! This week we talk about Community Supported Agriculture or CSAs. It's basically a subscription service for produce (and sometimes flowers) that helps support a small business, allows consumers to shop local, and for people to take back POWER!

Support a small farm this growing season! You will be joining a community of people that believe in seasonal eating, fresher veggies, and small scale agriculture that is better for the planet and human beings.

Check out Prairie's Edge Garden and follow us on social media to keep up with Emily on the farm.

How do you feel about spreadable meats? Join us as we talk about this four ingredient, pork paté that has a high fat ratio and is packed with Calabrian chiles.

For awhile we were on that "No New Friends" thing, but then Ramon happened. This week we bring you an interview that gets at the heart of what keeps this podcast going and dives deep into a newfound friendship we made before we left St Louis. Join us as we discuss his butterfly moment and how he learned to grow through the pain of grief, loss and change. We talk about getting back in the dating game, navigating co-parenting, and how kids have changed his eating habits.

This episode is all about acknowledging your need for community and connection. Recognize you are primed to lead and someone is in need of the lessons you hold. Step into your truth, take a moment to process your feelings, and show love.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The festival of light is upon us and so are the amazing treats and snacks that come along with it.

What's poppin? It's breakfast time! Or is it dessert? This breakfast pastry brings back all the childhood nostalgia and throws some serious shade at their fellow breakfast competitors. Let's toast to Pop-Tarts in all their glory.

Who knew this fried, green plantain sandwich was a 90s baby from Chicago!?!

Mocha, latte, cold brew, or espresso. There are many names for this breakfast delight and we love them all. But what exactly are the differences? Is Starbucks worth the hype? Is there such a thing as too much coffee? Join us for this special brew and find out!

Suffering succotash! The fall harvest and spooky season are already upon us. This week's episode showcases a corn and legume-dense dish that you'll be looking for a scoop of.

A true labor of love, this Italian dish is layered with flavor, baked with bechamel, and comes with a movie recommendation.
