Send us a textRemember when a recipe called Marry Me Chicken was trending? It was named that because apparently testers thought it was so good, they wanted to propose to the recipe creator who made it. Well, this week on the podcast, Heather is making a vegan version of this dish - Marry Me Chickpeas. Let's learn to make it and find out if it's proposal-worthy! In this dish, chickpeas are cooked in a creamy and flavourful tomato sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Heather added canned lentils for some extra fibre and protein. It's quick to make, warm and filling. We think it makes an excellent side dish, or a simple meal eaten with a nice chunk of crusty bread. And speaking of bread, she made one of her favourite little no-knead loaves of artisan bread, baked in a dutch oven. It's a quick way to have fresh bread the day you want to serve it.  What do you think? Would this sort of dish inspire you to propose marriage on the spot?    FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINELooking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?

Send us a textThis week our guest Gillian Seguin, Associate Wealth Advisor with Reyes Group (iA Private Wealth) joins us to share her love for all things pumpkin spice (and oh yes, we agree with her!). Gillian also explains to us all how financial planning is a lot like following a recipe. So, if you've ever wanted a peek into the mind of a personal wealth advisor, this is the episode for you.  It's a little bit of finance and a little bit of pumpkin baking.  Like lots of kids, Gillian was a super picky eater when she was little. As an adult, even though she has overcome the pickiness and now loves to eat all sorts of foods, those negative feelings she associated with food as a kid still haunt her. She confesses it has left her feeling a little scared of cooking. We chat about how that impacts her approach to preparing meals at home (hot tip: meal kit services are a great entry point to learning recipes). Heather takes on the pumpkin spice challenge by making a Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Bar. It was delicious, although we debated the crust...  Heather had tried a gluten-free option made with quinoa (inspired by last week's episode about going gluten-free) but we didn't love it. If you're able to, we suggest making a simple graham cracker, sugar, butter crust as you see in many cheesecake recipes. Gillian and her business partner, John Reyes, co-host a video podcast called A Bearable Conversation in which they discuss personal financial planning and related topics with a healthy dose of good-natured banter.

Send us a textThis week we welcome John Reyes, a Wealth Advisor, iA Private Wealth as our guest co-host. John shares with us how his family is transitioning to a gluten-free (gf) diet due to his young daughter's Celiac disease diagnosis. John and his family of five have been learning how challenging it can be to transition to a gluten-free diet, from grocery shopping and finding gf versions of their favourite foods, to being vigilant about cross contamination and asking the right questions when eating out. And no matter what, they're a family unit and if one has to eat gluten-free, they all will. It's not an easy adjustment for everyone.  Since pizza is one thing John said he especially wants to make at home with a gf recipe, Erin accepted the challenge and tested a recipe for gf crust made with cassava flour and potato. We enjoyed the texture and were happy to find a slice can be eaten by hand. We think it's a good option for anyone needing to eat gluten-free.    John and his business partner, Gillian Seguin, co-host a video podcast called A Bearable Conversation in which they discuss personal financial planning and related topics with a healthy dose of good-natured banter.

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Heather is trying something new - Dulce de Manzana is described as a classic Spanish apple paste. It just might be your new favourite addition to happy hour - add it to your tapas spread, brunch table or charcuterie boards. We enjoyed it on a slice of baguette with cheese and prosciutto. It is seriously delicious. Peel and core your apples. Cook with lemon juice until apples are soft. Purée the apples and then add water and sugar. Cook it down until you've got a thick, jammy consistency. Let it cool in a glass container, cover and refrigerate until set. Then you can turn it out on a plate or your charcuterie board and slice to serve.  We enjoyed our ducle de manzana with a fresh baked bread, flavoured butter, slices of cheese and prosciutto. It was delicious. FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINELooking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?

Send us a textIn this episode of the podcast, we discuss connections between food and mental health with guest Che Burnett, a counsellor with The Calgary Counselling Centre. Some of the things we chat about are: Slowing down and being being mindful when we eat can help reduce the stress and anxiety caused by our hectic busy lives. The dopamine affect - it feels so good but watch out for the crash! Especially for youth, feeling a connection to our ancestry through traditional foods enjoyed with family can help give us a sense of belonging and identity.  When it comes to nutrition, Che shares his insight into some specifics, but reminds us to  aim for a balanced diet of whole food for optimal mental health.And don't forget to start the day with water (IYKYK)!

Send us a textRegular listeners know we love a cooking or baking challenge, and we've been known to bring home something totally new to us to experiment cooking with. On this episode Erin dives into an exploration of cassava root, also known as a yuca. This is a new one for us both, never having cooked with it before. Fair warning, results are mixed! Let's get into it. Erin roasts the raw cassava by first boiling it and then tossing it in oil and seasonings. They turned out not terrible, but a bit dry and too starchy for our taste. In our opinion, just eat potatoes. They're much better.  Or perhaps the cassava from the store wasn't fresh enough and just should have been eaten earlier. Who knows. She also tries a recipe called Pan de Yuca (cheese bread) using cassava flour. It's a bit like a small gluten-free cheese bun. These were pretty good fresh out of the oven, but they didn't keep well past the day they were made. We might make these again, knowing to eat them right away! You don't know how to cook with something new, or even whether you'll enjoy the flavour, until you try. Count on us to jump in and try anything!

Send us a textWelcome to the 200th episode of Three Kitchens Podcast! In this episode, Heather finds many uses for the abundant harvest from her Romeo Cherry tree. Here's a rundown of recipes we're sharing in this episode: Chocolate Cherry Upside Down Cake - simply toss cherries in a little sugar and cornstarch, layer them in the bottom of the cake plan and pour the chocolate cake batter over top. Delicious! Cherry Vanilla Maple Shrub (drinking vinegar) - shrubs are a favourite of ours since we discovered them while recording our Speakeasy cocktail episodes. The combo of cherries and vanilla make an extremely good shrub. Cherry Shrub Manhattan Cocktail - put that shrub to good use in a classic Manhattan cocktail. So tasty. Cherry Bourbon BBQ Sauce - this BBQ sauce is on the sweeter side because of the fruit, and we loved it on grilled chicken. It would also be fantastic on a burger!  The Romeo Cherry tree is a hardy variety developed by the University of Saskatchewan. It's amazing how many cherries can be grown on this little tree! But you don't need to grow your own to make these awesome recipes - grab a bag of frozen cherries at the store and get busy!  Episode Links~~~~~ Baked Oatmeal~ Speakeasy Shrub Episode~ Cherry Shrub Manhattan Cocktail Recipe~ Chocolate Cherry Upside Down Cake Recipe~ Upside Down Apple Cake Recipe~ Cherry BBQ Sauce Recipe~ Wildly Fucking Abundant Affirmation Cards from @mallorymusante~ Women Who Podcast Magazine~ University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a Text Message.Ever wondered how to get that perfect, golden-brown crust and chewy texture on a soft pretzel? The secret lies in using food grade lye. Join us as we explore the process step-by-step, share tips for handling lye safely, and guide you through creating the most delicious pretzels you've ever tasted.A few safety tips for using lye: - Be sure it's food grade lye - Be careful not to touch the lye with bare hands - you might even want to wear gloves- Use a stainless steel pot- Add the lye to your water (not the other way around) - Be careful not to splash or lay utensils on your countertop- Wash everything you use well afterward We erred on the side of caution and used a fairly low concentration of lye for our water bath. It's a great way to ease into it and get comfortable with lye. If you're unsure about it you can also use baking soda instead of lye. We've got both methods in the recipe (linked below).    These pretzels are super easy to make and they bake up beautifully. Our pretzels ended up more like a pretzel bun, but we actually loved them that way. We sliced them open and made sandwiches with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers and red onion.  It was the perfect lunch!

Send us a Text Message.This week, Erin takes on a recipe for Scotch Eggs using quail eggs. It's a bite-sized version of this classic British pub fare and we are here for it!  After soft-boiling, Erin had to carefully peel the tiny quail eggs, which was a job in itself! Then they're wrapped in sausage meat, rolled in bread crumbs and then fried. Rather than deep frying, Erin pan-fried her Scotch Eggs and they turned out great. So if you're not sure about trying this one because you don't want the mess and smell of deep frying (you're not alone, we dislike it too!), don't let that stop you. You can totally make this at home. And they're delicious! We enjoyed these Scotch Eggs with a little pickled pearl onion, which we thought was the perfect accompaniment to this rich savoury snack.

Send us a Text Message.The star of this eisode is Norwegian brown cheese (Brunost as it is called in Norway). Leftover whey from the cheesemaking process is cooked down until is carmelized and turns this beautiful brown colour. The flavour is hard to describe. It's a bit caramelly, like butterscotch but with the subtle tang of goat cheese. You really have to taste it for yourself and we highly recommend you do.  Erin is telling us how to make a caramel sauce from brown cheese to accompany a delicious thin Norwegian pancake. You'd never know this perfect caramel sauce was made from cheese! And this simple, easy to make pancake (much like a crepe) is the best way to serve it up. We loved every bit of this. It's all so, so good.  You'll have to make it yourself because tasting is believing in this case. The entire plate will impress absolutely everyone who is lucky enough to be served.  Episode Links~~~~~ Springbank Cheese~ Thin Pancakes & Brown Cheese Caramel Sauce Recipe~ Making Cheese with Special Guest Alexis Cobham from Cheesemaker~ Sweet and Savory Pannekoeken Dutch Pancakes ~ Pannenkoeken Recipe~ Apple Pie Recipe~ North Wild Kitchen Instagram~ North Wild Kitchen Website~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a Text Message.Yes, you read that title right. Let us explain! This week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Heather tells us about an article she read wherein the author states they prefer chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. Sounds a little too plain for our tastes. Let's discuss what to add to these cookies as a chocolate chip alternative.  After trying two cookie recipes and a few different add-ins, Heather comes up with a recipe we liked a lot and two front runner add-ins: dried kiwi and chopped dates. These are both great alternatives to chocolate chips, especially if you like a chewy sweet, almost candy-like addition to your cookies. The kiwi was cut into small pieces and dehydrated not quite all the way to ensure they hold up to baking but keep a little moisture in them. The seeds in the fruit add a nice texture, too. Dried dates were chopped into small pieces and then tossed lightly with cinnamon before adding them into the cookies. These got a sprinkle of sesame seeds before placing them in the oven. If you like raisin cookies, you'll love date cookies!  What would you put in your chocolate chip cookies instead of chocolate chips? BONUS COOKIES! Erin tells us about an amazing Norwegian shortbread cookie made with dandelion flowers. She also made them with juniper berry. We adored them both!   Episode Links~~~~~ Bon Appetit Article: What is a Chocolate Chipless Cookie?~ Kiwi Cookies Recipe ~ North Wild Kitchen~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a Text Message.This week's podcast guest is Julia Kraemer from the Leftovers Foundation, a Canadian non-profit on a vital mission to reduce food waste and enhance food access.The foundation rescues perfectly edible food destined for landfills, thereby preventing greenhouse gas emissions and delivering this food to those in need through the work of dedicated volunteers.Julia sheds light on the critical issues of food security and insecurity, revealing that nearly 9 million Canadians face some level of food insecurity, driven by income inequality and lack of access. Astonishingly, one-third of the food wasted in Canada could feed every Canadian experiencing hunger. Julia's insights and the impactful work of Leftovers offer valuable lessons on a global issue.She also helps us understand the environmental impact of food waste.  Food rotting in landfills produces methane 25 times as potent as CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere. If global food waste was a country, it would be the third greatest greenhouse gas emitter in the world! We learned so much from Julia about these important issues and how organizations like Leftovers are doing amazing work to help bridge the gap. You can learn more about Leftovers and the important work they do on their website and social media accounts (links below). Big big thanks to Julia and the Leftovers Foundation for being our guest and sharing these important messages.  Episode Links~~~~~ Leftovers Foundation Website~ Leftovers on Instagram~ Leftovers on Facebook~ Highfield Farm~ Regenerative Agriculture: Growing Food for the Community (An Interview with the Highfield Regenerative Farm)~ Loop Resource~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a Text Message.This week on the podcast, we're making dinner as easy as possible - and the clean-up, too - with a sheet pan dinner. Sheet pan dinners are one of the easiest ways to cook a meal. Think busy weeknights or feeding a small crowd. By putting veggies and protein on the same pan and roasting it all at once, you're making dinner a breeze. Heather goes back to a tried and true recipe for a potatoes, sausage and apple sheet pan dinner so easy even her kids can make this one. The addition of apple cider vinegar toward the end of the cook time gives it a nice zing.  She also tried a recipe that is new to her, a chicken tika sheet pan dinner. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices, and then cooked with cauliflower, potatoes and chickpeas. Serve with rice and top with yogurt or tzatziki and slices of quick pickled red onion. She and Erin agree it could have a little more spice, but it's a sheet pan dinner worth having in your back pocket.   Episode Links~~~~~ Chicken Tika Sheet Pan Recipe~ Sausage and Apple Sheet Pan Recipe~ Dinner, A Love Story Cookbook~ Roasted Chickpeas~ An Introduction to Caribbean Cooking with Chris De La Rosa of CaribbeanPot.com~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a Text Message.This week on the podcast we welcome Andy De Santis, a Registered Dietician specializing in fatty liver disease. If you're not familiar with this health concern, you're not alone, but Andy tells us it is extremely common among adults. And there's no medication to treat it. Thankfully, we can improve our liver health, and avoid or even reverse fatty liver disease, with changes to our diet. Fatty liver disease means that you have fat inside your liver that can, over time, affect liver function and cause liver injury. Andy's philosophy is not to drastically change the diet through elimination. He's more likely to suggest a good balance of healthy foods, while still enjoying the things you love to eat in moderation.  Here are three food categories Andy suggests as a starting point for good liver health:healthy fats, like avocado and nutslegumes like beans and lentilsfatty fish like salmon He has lots of great advise for us to ensure our bodies are metabolizing fat the way they should and therefore avoiding or improving fatty liver. Andy also gives helpful tips for making and sticking with any changes to our diet. We all know it can be challenging, especially if those things we should be eating are not our favourites or require a little extra work to prepare.  For more information on eating for fatty liver and overall good health, please use the links below to follow Andy on social media, check out his blog for tips and recipes, and don't forget to look into the numerous books he has written on eating for good health.  Big thank you to Andy for being our guest on the show! Episode Links~~~~~ Article: The Best Foods for Fatty Liver Disease~ Andy De Santis on Instagram~ Andy De Santis Website~ Pulse Interview~ Pulse Recipes~ Roasted Chickpea Recipe~ Whatever Erin Makes with Canned Salmon~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?
