A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

Show Notes

Remember that awkward puberty book from the 80s? Well, it turns out midlife comes with its own surprises - and not the fun kind. In this week's episode, we're talking hot flushes, irrational rage, boosting protein, low iron, dodgy hormones, and blood sugar blues - and the Thermomix recipes that can actually help! From meals that support perimenopause to dishes that boost bone health and balance blood sugar, Ez and Bronts are cooking their way through the chaos of midlife. It's basically a health class for grown ups; *we actually have zero medical qualifications so don't go quoting us to your doctor.

School holidays are FINALLY over and Erin is hanging by a thread. Between endless sleepovers, children who apparently never leave (and have individual egg orders), and Dad landing back in hospital, there’s not much left in the tank.

THE BACHELOR’S HANDBAG Australia’s most reliable dinner date is getting the episode it deserves. But first… obviously we spend a completely reasonable 12 minutes reviewing Kylie’s Grand Final performance before remembering this is allegedly a food podcast. Then we get down to chook business: Coles vs Woolies — who’s got the superior bird? What are we actually DOING with a cooked chook? Viral chicken recipes worth trying Chicken lasagne Peking chook pancakes French onion chicken pie Nagi’s Buffalo Chicken Dip — so rich you may want 000 on standby Because there is SO much more to the humble supermarket chook than sandwiches and sad Tuesday-night salad.

THIS ONE TIME, AT BAND CAMP… Yes, Erin actually plays the flute. Yes, she went to band camp. And yes, this week’s chat about our kids getting into trouble somehow turned into Erin & Bronte confessing their own school misdemeanours. Also on this week’s completely sensible food podcast...
