Foodie Friends – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome back to another episode of Foodie Friends -- where food, parenting, women's health and life over 50 meet at a cozy virtual café!

Grab a cup of coffee, or steaming mug of tea, and settle in for this really poignant episode.  Jane chats with one of her dearest friends, Jo, about their individual battles (and victories) with breast cancer.  They open up about their struggles, their fear and worries, the care they received and how their breast cancer journey was very different, but also had many similarities. 

October is International Breast Cancer month, so please share these episode with all the women in your life......and men, too, because they also get breast cancer. 

If you're of the age, get your mammograms, stay on top of your breast self-exams, and, if you'd like to share your journey head over to our Instagram  - Foodies Across the Pond .  The more we share our stories, the more we can keep the conversation going, the more we can inform and educate, hopefully the more lives we can collectively save from breast cancer.

Sending love to you all!

Welcome back to another episode of Foodie Friends!

You’ve got Jane and I today chattering on about:

• Parenting (and why Jane is now a roadie for George’s band)
• What we love watching right now
• Jane’s favorite book and what we’ve been working on behind the scenes
• And there’s a whole conversation on The Backstreet Boys, Dennis the Menace and food fights.  

And with that, I do owe apologies to the Backstreet Boys.  You’ll understand the need for an apology when you listen!  OOPS! 

Grab a cup of coffee……or tea…..and come join us!!

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome back for another episode, Foodie Friends!!

If you love all things Royal Family, grab a cup of tea because you're going to love this episode!!

It's a quick and silly recap of standout moments of the Coronation.  And it wouldn't be a Coronation recap if we didn't talk about Anne's feather (IYKYK), Camilla and whether her past should carry forward into the future, our favorite moments and,  yes, the "something" Jane has in common with Princess Catherine. 

No need to wear a tiara or fancy dress -- come as you are, pull up a chair and we hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome back to another episode of Foodie Friends!

We like to keep it light and upbeat around here, but we also like to have harder conversations, too.   If you've been here for awhile, you know Jane and I have covered the topic of mental health, shared our own health journeys, and delved into the correlation between our physical and our mental health. 

Today our special guest is Dawn Ford, a loss and wellbeing specialist, who helps people discover their own resilience after loss.  And the loss can be anything -- not just the grief of losing a loved one, but the loss of a career, marriage, health, the life someone wanted to live but isn't. 

The truth is we all, at different points in our life, walk through grief.  And Dawn is that ear, that shoulder, that impartial person people can reach out to for encouragement and support. 

Just listening to Dawn's voice is enough to bring you a sense of calm.  She is truly a special person and this is an incredibly special episode.   

We hope you enjoy it.......

Welcome back for another episode of Foodie Friends!

We're talking all about beef and burgers and recipes we love to cook that celebrate gorgeous, tender, juicy beef.  If you're a vegetarian, you might want to scroll on......or take a listen and have some laughs with us!

The UK celebrates Beef Week and the US celebrates Beef Month.  Jane and I pretty much celebrate beef all year long!

I'm sharing a juicy, mouth watering burger recipe that's loaded with Asian flavor.  It's a step up from your regular burger!  The flavor is mind blowing and you'll want to make this on repeat all year long!

Jane's sharing her signature beef wellington -- and, WAIT, before you start shaking your head and telling yourself you can't make this dish, Jane's here to share ALL the tips for making it an easy and approachable recipe. 

We're also sharing our tips for a quick steak recipe, and, as usual, we go off topic.....but that's part of the fun of us!

Welcome back to another episode, Foodie Friends!!

Ohhhh this episode is SO good!!

Are you a spice lover?  And I'm not talking about heat,  I'm talking about FLAVOR! 

Or maybe you'd like to get out your comfort zone and cook with MORE spices!

Buckle up, friends, because we're loading up the spice flavor train and you're invited!

Our special guests (YEP, it's our very first episode with TWO guests!) are Myles and Halle from Camelēr Spice Co. 

After you listen to this episode, you'll want to buy ALL the spices and ALL the spice blends and cook with them all....the...time!

You'll learn:

• How alchemy differentiates Camelēr spices from others on the market
• Why your standard grocery store spices lack flavor
• The clever and creative story behind the name "Camelēr"
• What a spice graveyard is -- odds are you probably have one!
• Why Myles and Halle chose to name their spice blends with their authentic names instead of "chicken blend" and "steak blend"
• The world's oldest spice -- you seriously won't believe how far back it goes! 
• The health benefits of spices
• The one market you need to visit in London
• The incredible philanthropy Myles and Halle are involved with

We hope you'll use this episode as a really valuable source of information on spices, the importance of sustainably sourced spices and knowing their origin,  and inspiration to get out of your comfort zone and find the joy in using spices!

Welcome back to another episode!

Today we're chatting with one of my absolute favorite food bloggers and Instagram OG's, Laney of Life is But a Dish. 

Laney took her background as a teacher and her love of teaching and created an incredibly popular and successful blog AND her Cook with Confidence program.  CWC has helped countless home cooks gain confidence in the kitchen and learn how to navigate kitchen tools, recipes, and ingredients to make outrageously delicious meals. 

There are SO MANY valuable takeaways in this episode, you may have to listen to it twice!

Just a few things we chat about: 

• How Laney started her blog
• Laney gives some really helpful tips for those who want to start their own food blog 
• Easy ways to start gaining confidence in the kitchen

It wouldn't be an interview with Laney if we didn't talk about her famous Banana Bread (seriously the best recipe!!) and the beautiful family story behind her Hot Milk Cake. 

Grab your favorite beverage, curl up on your couch and enjoy our chat with Laney. 

We hope you love it!
