On tonight’s livecast we make the most amazing baked sweet potatoes with four different toppings (Southwest corn/black bean, sauteed mushroom/garlic, caramelized onion, and cream cheese/scallion)… live! Just don’t be like us and remember to give them ample time in the oven so that they can come out soft and fluffy. Tip: if you’re short on time, try the microwave! We also give some stuff away to a loyal fan we talked to on the phone as well as show off a sweet livecast picture book Sam got for Hanukkah (Kelly is amazing).

Livecasters rejoice! It’s the holiday season and in this episode, Sam teaches you how to make two outstanding holiday appetizers you can bring or make at your get together. First up is a brie, mango chutney, and brown sugar thing that will take you about one minute to prep and less time to devour. Second is a small bite of melty ricotta and hearty pasta sauce on top of a toasted baguette. Happy Holidays livecasters, thanks for chatting with us on the phone (talking to you super fan Addie Corn!), posting on Facebook, Twitter, and telling your friends about us. We truly appreciate it!

Happy Monday livecasters, today we talk Hanukkah and origins of the story while Sam makes a stunning deep-fried donut in the kitchen. You will not believe how easy it is and we guarantee that it’ll impress any guest you have over for the holidays.

Adrian Gonzalez, first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, came by tonight and talked about everything from his experiences in big leagues to his favorite foods and things to cook. Do you want to listen to an honest chat with one of the most prolific players in the MLB? Then Episode 85, featuring Adrian Gonzalez, is for you. By the way, the only cooking tonight was done by Adrian’s cousin Maritza. She makes a mean pesto chicken pasta.

Fixtures Living (www.fixturesliving.com) is perhaps the most impressive kitchen, bath, and outdoor furnishing store on the face of this planet. When you walk in, magic permeates the air and you’ll soon want to abandon your current kitchen & bath setup at home and install everything they have there instead. In this episode, we go live in one of their showrooms where Sam makes a delicious roasted vegetable pizza in their hearth oven.
