(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.

Have you heard of Dutch baby pancakes?  Falafel waffle? Also, tasty ramen and a kofta dish get reviewed.
