This week, we have the privilege to geek out on data with Tricia Callahan from Once a Month Meals, as she breaks down the back story of how she started out at Once a Month Mom to creating a database and software to run Once a Month Meals. She gives us some tips on how to meal plan and make freezer meals--it's like a gym membership! Our listeners get a 15% discount at www.onceamonthmeals.com by using the code HUNGRY15.

We also try to figure out what fancy gift our Food Fight listener could bring to a fancy work party.

This week, we get down to where it all starts, the tongue, and break down the basics of taste. We also talk about the genetics of taste and some of the genes and other environmental factors that will play into how we taste things and if we're going to like something or not. We try our darnedest not to judge those people who are picky eaters! And on this week's Food Fight, we help a listener come up with some ideas to giving holiday gifts that won't break the bank.

Today we're talking about fad diets, and Winter has a quiz for Sharon about the crazy diets that are out there, while Sharon talks about the Whole 30 diet. We also help out another listener get into her wedding dress during our Food Fight.
