Hey all, we're back...sorta! We have been on a little hiatus and currently are still working on figuring out a new schedule.

Until we get our crap together, we've got an Obsessions episode to tide you over. We're talking everything including peach galettes, serious laundry hacks, vegan cheese, nice-smelling candles, mental health habits, and doing wall push-ups in the bathroom. Yeah, it's all over the place, but we wanted to get together and say hi to you all!

What are your current obsessions?

By the way, we love you guys. We miss you! Send us an email at hungrysquared@gmail.com if you want to tell us your obsessions, what you've been listening to while we've been on hiatus, or what your fave fall time food is! We LOVE email!

Love,

Winter and Sharon
