Episode 41. We Grow Ours Radio Show!

This week I visited my friends  Nick and Don over at We Grow Ours (Episode 41)  and had a blast talking with them about the benefits of good food in your food storage. 

We Grow Ours radio show is centered around teaching people how and why to grow their own foods. Rabbits, Quail, Aquaponics, Gardens and many other methods. We talk to those doing this and learn new things everyday. Come learn with us as we look into food safety, NON-GMO foods, fun ideas and more. Preppers, gardeners, conservatives, and everyone. We all come together to rally around our food, and our food freedoms!

Check them out here! Xoxo!

Always My Very Best,

Your Friend Chef Tess

Dazzling Radio Show Highlights, Cookbook Release Information, and dowloadable MP3

Being welcomed into the Fox News Radio station on our local 550 KFYI on Saturday was a tremendous honor and a ton of fun. I was beyond thrilled to be in the presence of the warm and delightful Jan D'Atri as well as her Momma, Livia...even if all I really did was boil water! Waawhoo!

 There's more information on Jan on her website: Jan D'Atri.com.

Jan and Momma invite Chef Tess from Honeyville into the studio and talk to Chef Jimmy and Jan's niece Gina.

I sent Jan and Momma home with a copy of the new cookbook as well as a few fun things like theBaked Ziti in a jar (see the youtube video below for more details).  I loved how much we laughed on-air and how easy it was to talk about the new book with her. Many have asked when it will be released for online purchasing. Here's the official word...

The Gourmet Food Storage Handbook 

will be available online at Honeyvillegrain.com 

starting Thursday Jan 17th. 

 It has 18 main course meal in a jar recipes and 7 breakfast recipes as well as appetizer, breakfasts, beans, breads, gluten-free baking and all kinds of delicious desserts!

By the end of the show, we both decided that we couldn't let the fun end! Jan has been gracious enough to invite me back on the show in the near future! I'll keep you posted on that event!

At any rate, we're moving onward an upward. I expect you'll see me mention Jan a lot more here on the blog. We're kindred spirits indeed!

Always My Very Best,
Your Friend Chef Tess

I'm going "In The Kitchen With Jan"! {Squeal} YES! *The* Jan D'Atri!

  If you're not from Arizona, as many of my international readers are...you may not know who this shining beautiful face is...but I dare say that I'm standing here beside myself right now. This is Jan D'Atri. You must read:  About Jan, because she's an icon here...and I'm about to be introduced to a  hero of mine! I promise not to pass out...today.  Jan called me yesterday and invited me to be on her radio show...This SATURDAY 3:00-5:00! That's a lot of food and zany fun folks!

On the radio:

"In The Kitchen With Jan”
Saturdays 3-5PM (Arizona Time)
NEWSTALK 550 KFYI, Clear Channel Phoenix
www.kfyi.com

So, I started in making dough last night...

 Yesterday after she called I got on the phone to Michael at Love Grows Farms to hook up with some sweet organic veggies...They took really good care of me. Smooches!

 Most exciting  is the fact that since the show will be on cooking with whole grain and whole foods, Preparing Wisely will get to show off it's amazing organic grains! I love teaching Classes there.  I love the store. I've never met better people.

 So we'll be talking super grains and cooking up some black quinoa...

How about a Father's Day breakfast that's made with a healthy twist?

 Zucchini whole grain pancakes using whole grains without a flour mill...and a blender!

We'll also be making some Fast and Easy bacon wrapped shrimp lemon herb linguini

And of course the grilled portabello mushroom and pineapple salad with avocado, bell peppers, and pistachio...and we'll throw in some surprises with some whole grain!

Grain isn't just for bread...and gosh darn it...I'm excited to be on Jan's show this Saturday. Please share the news with everyone! Let's make this the best show yet!

 That being said...this sweet rum, flax and orange bread is still pretty amazing for grain...

Bread will never be something I give up. Thank goodness I don't have to do so! Remember to share the love folks. I'm so excited!
