In this reflective episode, I look back on a year of podcasting, sharing insights from various guests on topics such as nutrition, children's eating habits, and the importance of real food. Plus I make an announcement.

Silly season is upon us and hungry mouths still need feeding. In this episode I share a few ideas on how to get through the busy days ahead at mealtime and to ease the pressure we put ourselves under in December. I hope it helps!

Here is the link to the episode recorded last year about preparing for Christmas.

I have a guest joining me this week - Milly Fyfe, a passionate advocate for food education and sustainability. Milly shares her journey as a farmer's wife and social entrepreneur and the work she does in connecting families with locally sourced, whole foods. Through her community interest company, she runs workshops that educate children and families about the farm-to-fork journey and seasonal produce. Milly discusses the challenges we face in meal preparation and the convenience of frozen vegetables, while also highlighting the positive impact her workshops have on participants' understanding of food.
