(S8 E5) For this episode, Kate and Rick reach back into the vault of past seasons. Do you know anyone who has NEVER had to diet? Kate and Rick do, and they are pissed about it! Dieting doesn’t work! Did you know that? Well, if not, Rick and Kate are here to break the big news stories. Join them as they share and dissect an article entitled “How Your Body Fights Back When You Diet.” This article makes Kate and Rick so angry they had to issue their first cursing disclaimer! Metabolism, genetics, and neurology all contribute to the body waging fat warfare. That innate resistance, coupled with social stigma, ultimately produces a vicious cycle between weight loss, weight gain, and despair! Oh, they also talk about that annoying concept of will power. If anyone has ever told you “all you have to do is eat like me,” or “just be stronger,” this episode is for you. And if you have ever told anyone that, or even thought it in a well-meaning way, this episode is DEFINITELY for you.

(S8 E4) We all love a good recipe, and everyone lucky enough to cook uses them at some point. But what are the best practices for using recipes? Rick and Kate have created 5 fabulous tips that will help you take your recipe following to a new level. Do you know what elements of a recipe can be changed, and which ones can't? Do you know your own flavor preferences? Should you trust the amount of time a recipe says it will take? Stay tuned for Kate and Rick’s thoughts. Also on the menu for discussion this episode is a noodle soup and an intricate vegetarian chili.

(S8 E3) Making your own pizza can help you stay healthy in a tasty world. Kate and Rick talk you through the layers of consideration of how to compose your own pizza. Learning to make pizza at home not only saves money but allows you to control the flavor and those pesky calories. Should you make your own dough, and if so, should you use a pizza stone or not? Or will you buy fresh dough, or get something pre-baked? Rick and Kate also dish about possibilities for both classic and creative sauces and toppings. Also, up for discussion in the What I Ate Section are a great middle eastern meal from a Chicago restaurant and a homemade kung pao stir fry.

(S8 E2) Listening to the food trend experts gives Kate and Rick a lot to be excited about in 2023, and they are here to summarize and share their findings. Are you ready to hear about the most exciting (and odd) trends coming to a supermarket or restaurant near you?

There's something fishy going on, and also something faux-fishy. Up for discussion in the What I Ate section is a kelp burger, and a delicious pork stew with a special type of chilies you have to hear about.

(S8 E1) Why should we be eating chocolate—ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS? With Halloween fast approaching, Kate and Rick discuss the health benefits of this ancient, dark nectar, from its historical beginnings in current day Central America to its popularity during Halloween and other American holidays.

Kate and Rick discuss one of the most social, cheerful, and filling meals available. From savory to sweet, brunch has something for everyone. What makes brunch, well, brunch? What is the history of brunch and its most popular items? When should it begin and end? Rick and Kate share a plethora of their favorite brunch items, brunch places in Washington, DC and Chicago, as well as suggestions for hosting a great brunch (mimosa bar, anyone?). Have you heard of Dutch baby pancakes?  Falafel waffle? Also, tasty ramen and a kofta dish get reviewed.

(S7 E21) It’s that time of the year! Not the holidays, but time to review the role carbohydrates play in our diet. Kate and Rick discuss this important nutrient, and explain why being conscious of its intake can lead to a healthier lifestyle and long-term wellbeing. They review what exactly carbs are and where they lurk, differentiate the "good" carbs from the "bad" carbs, and most importantly, offer tips and techniques for how to reduce and replace them. Also, net carbs are all the rage now-a-days, so it’s time to get clear on what they are and how to calculate them. Two great recipes make it to the podcast this episode: a broccoli cheese soup and tarator soup - and yes, you will have to tune in to find out what that is.
