(S6 EP20) Microgreens are teeny, leafy greens that pack a big nutritional punch. Since they first appeared in restaurants on the West coast in 1990, they have had a reputation of being a fancy garnish on a small entree at an upscale restaurant. But no more. Today there are over 25 different varieties of microgreens waiting to flavor up your meals. Arugula! Broccoli! Watercress! Kale! Kate and Rick talk to Natalie Paterson, co-founder of ingarden, about the power of microgreens, why you should be including them in your diet, and how simple they can be to grow right on your kitchen counter. Did you know microgreens can be grown indoors without soil? They are a great nutrition-boosting finishing touch to a salad, sandwich, grain bowl, avocado toast, eggs, or any dish you make. Also, an outdoor dinner and fresh pasta with a yummy sauce are up for discussion. Check out ingarden and us "BELIEVE20" for 20% discount for YWBWIALN listeners.

(S6 EP19) Rick and Kate heard a rumor that it’s that time of the year already -- pumpkin spice time! What is it about this wildly popular flavor mixture that finds its way into every facet of our food lives during the autumnal season? What’s in it? Where did it come from? And is anyone to blame for the mass marketing of this spice?! YWBWIALN’s producer Janice stops by with a quiz for Kate. Also up for discussion is a tasty meal inspired by a trip to the farmer’s market, and a broccoli dish that sounds better than it is (sad trombone).

(S6 EP17) Cast iron is wildly popular and versatile, but how do you season it, maintain it, clean it, and prevent it from rusting? These are the many questions facing Rick and Kate as they talk about this cooking staple. It retains heat wonderfully, and is another way to create flavor, but is it worth the effort? Sure, the first known use of cast iron cookware dates back to the Han Dynasty in China, around 220 A.D., but it has managed to hold up next to modern cookware, including Kate’s favorite: enameled cast iron. Also, get ready for the best pizza ever! Inspired by a recipe from America’ s Test Kitchen, Kate and Rick make an amazing cast iron pan pizza. Also on the table for discussion this week is a quinoa cooked with salsa verde and pork stock, and a broccoli dish based on a classic recipe by Alice Waters, owner of the famed Chez Panisse in Berkley, Ca. and mother of the farm to table movement.
