On this week's episode, we take a look behind the curtain of how a food product gets on your local grocery store shelves as we interview Sarah Jones of the Miss Jones Baking Co. It was fun to chat with her about her love of baking and how she wanted to bring that home-baked flavor to consumers. She tells us how she came up with her idea of creating the next home baking company that produces organic and vegan (or vegan friendly) frostings and baking mixes, how she found a food scientist, and eventually a manufacturer to create her products.

We're having an contest on Instagram to win a prize pack from Miss Jones Baking Co, so head over to https://www.instagram.com/missjonesbakes/?hl=en for more details.

We also help a Food Fight listener not be such a bad date. Yikes!

Let's taco 'bout it!

This week, we are privileged to interview Kathy Hester, vegan blogger at www.healthyslowcooking.com and author of The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot (release January 10, 2017). She helps us understand the Instant Pot, reassures us that it won't blow up, and shows us how it can help make our cooking life easier. We have a Food Fight listener who is hosting a holiday party, and we help him deal with those that may linger longer than he prefers them to linger. Let's taco 'bout it!

We are so happy to chat with our friends, Giselle and Jason McClure, the owners of Chili Beak. These purveyors of their chili oils will go into the background of chili oils, their process of coming up with their recipes, and some of the science between chili oils vs hot sauce. During our Food Fight segment, we help one organized listener in their kitchen after a meal.
