Junk Food with Christine Van Bloem

Christine Van Bloem joins us this week in a wide-ranging conversation about "junk" food, comfort food, and healthy food. Who knew you could love all of these!

Christine Van Bloem is the founder of The Empty Nest Kitchen, teaching live, online cooking classes to empty nesters re-learning how to cook for one or two, while finding the fun in the kitchen with a healthy-ish vibe. A heart attack survivor, Christine has reformed her butter-loving, heavy cream worshiping ways by making changes in how to cook, taking food in a healthier direction, while still keeping things flavorful and delightful. Plus, there's always room for dessert! Christine hosts the Empty Nest Kitchen podcast and lives in a very old house in Frederick, MD with her husband John.
