Not A Single Fork

It’s the final countdown. Thank you, Europe…you said it all. And, thanks to all our listeners and sponsors and partners. WE LOVE YOU!

We couldn’t do it without you because well, a podcast is just a podcast but we’ve got listeners! And, YOU make it all worthwhile.

So take a little stroll down Memory Lane with us, meet one of our new friends (a super talented musician) who helped give our show a little street cred and get a short refresher course from the entire season. We talk about our faves (and not so faves) and give back a little love with more shout outs to our PEEPS! Listen for your names (you know who you are)

It’s been a blast. So without further ado, here is the final episode of Season One and our love letter to you, our listeners!

We hope you enjoyed all (well, maybe most) of the episodes, laughed along with us and maybe even learned a thing or two.

We will be back with Season 2 - Not A Single Fork Tackles The Holidays! Watch Facebook and Instagram and your inbox for the announcements of not only the Season Premiere but some other fun additions to our program.

Thanks again for hanging in there with us. We appreciate you more than you know!

If you have a lingering question or something you just have to say, leave it in the comments below. You know you’ll get a reply!

Please keep listening, downloading, subscribing and tell all your friends about us! Season 2 drops in mid-October.

And, in the words of Michael Jackson, “This is IT.”

So stay tuned and fresh…fork bags!

It’s the final countdown. Thank you, Europe…you said it all. And, thanks to all our listeners and sponsors and partners. WE LOVE YOU! It's the final episode of Season 1!

Let’s face it, the world of vegetables is daunting. I mean, there is just so.much.produce in the groceries, farmers markets, wholesale clubs. Where do you even start?

This vegetable mountain of choice was never a problem for our grandparents or even parents. There were carrots, green beans, peas, iceberg lettuce (also known as just lettuce back then), spinach and that was about it. Now, carrots come in a rainbow, lettuce can be bitter, leafy, Romaine, butter, and more. Then, there are all the beans out there and we’re not talking just pinto and navy, those are so yesterday. The new beans are heirloom as are tomatoes. And, we can’t forget the whole legume issue. What are they or it and how does it/they fit into this whole balanced diet thing.

We have so many questions. Lucky for you, we have A LOT of answers, too!

We’ll be sorting through this confusing topic of bean or legume or vegetable, we'll share everything we know (or found out) about this super important part of your diet and even play a game! It’s all coming up!

So, play along, learn a few new things (and in such a fun way, right?) and join us over here in Episode 14 where you get the ins and outs of beans, legumes and, oh yeah, vegetables.

And don’t forget, there are even more Rants and Raves (or Tips and Tricks) as we go crazy talking about what we love or DON’T. If you have a question, leave it in the comments below and we will be happy to address it in our next episode (and in the comments section). It’s time for you to get involved in this whole thing, too! We love to give our peeps a SHOUT OUT!Be sure to listen, subscribe and review our podcast wherever you prefer to listen.. We want to keep doing this!

CARBS! Most of us have a love/hate relationship with them. If you’re one of those people, let us enlighten you. Carbs can and should be your friend.

Here we are! Still keeping it real for you and now we’re breaking down the carb story.

It’s LUCKY NUMBER 13! That’s right, episode 13 is about to drop on you.

We’ve wrapped up all the proteins (at least, the animal variety) and it’s on to the other parts of your plate. Remember, we did that balancing act episode where we talked to you about how easy it is to put a meal together. Here’s the next part of your plate program, then.

Carbohydrates are getting a bad rap these days what with all the paleo and keto diets our there.

But here’s why we think that’s happening: YOU EAT TOO MANY and slather them with butter and sour cream and cheese! It’s not the carb’s fault! It’s all the stuff you put on them. They’re actually low in calorie and high in fiber and vitamins and we’re going to tell you all about that, along with how to cook them.

So, hang on to your pasta, kids, Candace and Natalia are here to help you through this maze of variety called CARBS...from potatoes to pasta to grains, we’ve got it going on.

It’s Episode 13 and we’re going to make this a lucky one!

Don’t forget, we’ve got more Rants and Raves (or Tips and Tricks) for you. Always a surprise, I guess everything we say is a surprise, even to us.

If you have a question, leave it in the comments below and we will be happy to address it in the comments section). It’s time for you to get involved in this whole thing, too! We love to give our peeps a SHOUT OUT!

Be sure to listen, subscribe and review our podcast wherever you prefer to listen.. We want to keep doing this!

BTW, we’re winding this puppy down and by that, we mean, Season 1. Only 2 more episodes to go so cross your fingers, don’t step on a crack or walk under a ladder…here is Episode 13!

Natalia and I live in Oklahoma but you probably figured that out.

Not only are we insulated from the Coasts in our red state but we are severely land-locked. Being in the middle of the country makes it hard to keep up with the latest goings on (my NYC daughter keeps me updated) and it also makes it difficult for us to convince people in this part of the world that fish are delish! Can’t control myself when rhymes just fall into my lap…

So, FISH! In general, one of the best proteins out there. Lots of omega-3 fatty acids and health benefits so why don’t we eat more of it?

I can’t speak for everyone but around here, people just think they don’t like it. We can’t even begin to fill a cooking class for fish. They don’t want to try it or have anything to do with it mostly because it smells/tastes “fishy”. Well, there’s a difference between fish smell and fish stink so we’re going to tackle the PR problem for this misunderstood protein.

In Episode 12, we’re going to give you all kinds of suggestions for easing into the whole fish eating mind space. Where to buy it, how to buy it and cook it but most of all, if it STINKS, DON’T BUY IT! Only old fish stink, sorry old fish but you know it’s true.

We’ll even throw in some info on their bivalve-y brothers and sisters, like mussels, oysters and clams as well as the guys with the claws and shells, like crab and shrimp.

So, get ready, here comes Episode 12, as we tell you ALL about the FISH. Because yes, we have an opinion…or five. There’s also a new Rants and Raves (or Tips and Tricks) as we once more. go crazy talking about what we love or DON’T.
