Winter is citrus season here in Florida, and anybody with a Meyer lemon tree is looking for a way to use them all.  One great use for lemons is the Italian liqueur Limoncello, and The Zest producer Dalia Colón got the scoop on that from Danielle Rose, who writes the Florida food blog Suwannee Rose.  You can find Danielle’s recipe for Meyer limoncello on our website, TheZestPodcast.com.

Have you been thinking about cooking more at home, maybe as a way to eat healthier or save some money? Well, our next guest, Wendy Wesley, says that's an important goal for the new year. Wendy is a registered dietitian/nutritionist and the health education manager at the St. Petersburg Free Clinic  Our contributor Janet Keeler talks with her about what she calls “barriers to cooking” and how to get past them. 

We also asked some Florida food enthusiasts about what they are excited about in the upcoming year. How about you? What are you looking forward to? What would you like for us to cover, what stories would you like to hear in 2020?  You can let us know on our Facebook page, or by writing me at [email protected].
