  • Season 2, Episode 11: Hybrid Pasty Hotdish and Easy Recipe Veggie Pot Pie. Hello! My name is Julie Hoag. I'm an author, cookbook author, food blogger, family life blogger, and narrator. I have a hybrid split table family as far as diets go being that I'm a vegetarian, and main cook for the family, while my husband and three sons eat meat. So I cook in a unique way that I call hybrid where I'm making meals and recipes work for both diets. These two recipes are pie type recipes for dinner or supper, whichever term you use. The pasty hotdish recipe came from my grandma who was born in Finland and is a modified version of the traditional handheld pasties. And the other recipe is an easy pot pie recipe I made on the fly so I could enjoy a meatless pot pie while my family all had frozen already prepared pot pies for a meal. Necessity is the mother of invention, right?

    Here are the recipes for your easy reference. One was taken from my cookbook, One Dish Two Diets, which is available on Amazon (scroll to the links below).

From the nuances of eggshell hues to the surprising simplicity of geese, she shares insights that'll have you rethinking your next omelet.

    But it's not just about the birds—Lisa's culinary prowess shines as she whips up recipes that celebrate the versatility of eggs. Whether it's a sumptuous soufflé or a rustic frittata, her dishes are a testament to the joys of farm-fresh ingredients. Plus, she offers a sneak peek into her upcoming cookbook endeavors, promising more egg-centric delights on the horizon.

    Venture beyond the coop with Lisa's TV show, "Welcome to My Farm," where she brings the pastoral pleasures of Maine to your screen. From strawberry patches to the art of ice fishing, Lisa's show is a heartwarming invitation to experience the simple pleasures of country living.

  • Season 2, Episode 4: History of Christmas Candies and Candy Chat with Daniel Zafran from the Candy is Dandy Podcast, where he is one of three co-hosts. Daniel stated their show is composed of them picking a candy, talking about the history and the story of it, reviewing it, and rating it. They also have candy news, play a candy related game, and do candy autopsies, which you can watch on TikTok. Daniel shared some history of Christmas candies. Each has a story! The holiday candies he unveiled the stories about included: candy canes, Hannukah gelt, almond roca, Ferraro Rocher, and Teri's chocolate oranges. Some stories about the candies are religious and others are cultural... but all very interesting. We also discussed the story of Nutella... and is Nutella candy? What do you think? We also debated the best chocolates and how American chocolate is not that great, but give a mention of a few brands that are decent/good. Daniel talked about his travels and the not so good surprise he got about Chinese chocolate. We discussed how candies are very different from countries and some are not even candy-like to the common sweet tooths we have in America and Europe. I mentioned the amazing candy store in Minnesota and the wide variety, including worldwide candies, and Daniel mentioned the wide variety of different types of grocery stores near him that stock candies from different countries. We also chatted about what is candy and what isn't really candy. We had a blast talking for almost an hour about candy!

  • Episode 26: Rose's Family Favourites: A Delightful Mix of Kosher, Asian, Continental, and Jewish Recipes with Cookbook Author Rose Benjamin. Rose and I chatted about how her cookbook is a conglomeration of many family recipes. Making her recipes celebrates her family's traditions and creating this cookbook during the pandemic helped her create a family legacy that not only her family can enjoy, but everyone else in the world too! She loves to personally communicate digitally with her buyers and facilitate a conversation and/or relationship with the buyer to answer questions and help them with any struggles they may have with the recipes. She created a recipe book that reflects her family's food memories. The foods we make, and the recipes we turn to again and again, carry wonderful and cherished memories with them each time we make and enjoy them, both old and new memories. Family traditions with food are meaningful expressions of love, camaraderie, and fellowship with our family members and friends. Enjoy her cookbook that was made with love, crafted with time, energy, and trusted recipes from her heritage.

  • Episode 23: Frozen Yogurt Bars and Fresh Tomato, Onion, and Four Cheese Salad Recipes & Our Dog Rescue Story! Coming at you with a short episode this time because we are getting ready to go "up north"! A Minnesota phrase people commonly say when going anywhere north to a cabin or lake for vacation. Enjoy this super easy recipe for fruit frozen yogurt bars and a simple but very tasty salad! Also, I shared out dog rescue story of when we were at the same cabin we are going to where we almost lost our dog, who was new to us at the time and he had been rescued from a shelter in Missouri and had been living in a dog foster home when we adopted him. He was so skittish and fearful, irrational really, and he got loose in the woods up north. We spent hours looking for him but it was his bond with my husband that saved him!

    Enjoy these recipes and use those yummy summer garden fresh tomatoes!

    Frozen Yogurt Bars
    2 cups Chobani Greek yogurt, whole milk, either plain or vanilla
    1 cup Chobani Greek yogurt 0% milkfat, vanilla, or plain (I usually do one plain and one vanilla for the yogurts, but do whatever you'd like)
    3 tablespoons honey
    2 chocolate Hershey bars, broken into pieces/chunks
    3 ripe bananas cut up (or 1 1/2 to 2 cups cut up strawberries)
    Whisk yogurts and honey together. Stir in fruit and chocolate bar pieces. Spread in a parchment lined 9by13 inch pan (or smaller for thicker bars). Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 4-5 hours then serve. If serving later on and for leftovers, allow bars to sit out on the counter for a bit to thaw for easier cutting and enjoyment.
    Optional stir-in ideas: peanut butter, Nutella, other fruits, other flavored sweet chips like butterscotch chips or candy pieces like Heath bar or cookie crumbles, nuts, raisins

    Fresh Tomato, Onion, and Four Cheese Salad
    5-6 large tomatoes, chopped
    2 scallions chopped, use full
    1/3 cup yellow onion, chopped
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    juice of 1 lime
    1 tablespoon oil (olive or toasted sesame)
    1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
    1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    1/2 cup feta cheese
    1/4 cup grated cheese blend with Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago cheeses
    Stir all ingredients together and let sit for about 15 minutes. Serve. The salad is best when eaten fresh.

    Berry Bomb Pop Fruit Salad https://www.juliehoagwriter.com/2019/06/17/easy-4th-of-july-desserts-red-white-and-blue/
    Ingredients:

    2 c. cut up strawberries2 c. blueberries2 c. blackberries8 single bomb pop popsicles cut upYou must serve it immediately as the popsicles will start to melt.

    Ingredients:4 c. strawberries, cut up2 c. whipped topping (Cool Whip®)1 gelatin box (6 ounces), blue in color with 1 1/4 c. boiling water to prepare gelatin1 c. small marshmallows

    Prepare the Jello Jigglers ® recipe from the box: which is 1 1/4 c. boiling water to 6 oz. blue gelatin. Stir to dissolve, follow the directions on the package. Pour liquid gelatin into a small loaf pan and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours. Meanwhile, cut up the strawberries into pieces for 4 c. strawberries. Once the gelatin has set, after about 3 hours, loosen it around the edges with a knife and scoop it out onto a flat surface. Cut it into bite-size pieces. Add it to a large bowl. Add the strawberries and marshmallows to the bowl and stir gently. Add the whipped topping and stir gently. Serve immediately. It is best to make it fresh and eat it fresh for the best results.

    Enjoy Brianna's Favorite Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe! I made it and it's delish!!!

    4-5 (454g) bananas

    ½ cup (99g) olive oil

    1 cup (213g) brown sugar

    2 eggs

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1 cup (120g) all purpose flour

    1 cup (113g) whole wheat flour

    1 teaspoon baking soda

    ½ teaspoon baking powder

    ¾ teaspoon salt

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    ½ cup (57g) toasted walnuts, chopped

    ½ cup (85g) chocolate chips

    Simple syrup

    Mix together the mashed banana, oil, sugar, eggs & vanilla. Add in the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt & cinnamon. Fold in the walnuts & most of the chocolate chips. Pour into a greased and parchment lined loaf pan, top with remaining chocolate chips. Bake @ 350° 60-75 min (check to see if it’s done by inserting a toothpick in the center, it should come out clean or slightly tacky). Brush with simply syrup while warm. Let cool & enjoy!
