This time Russ & Helana talk about cheese. Just like bacon, the more cheese the better. Before that though, we have a long discussion about juicing. Helana has purchased a juicer and she’s juicing the heck out of everything. Apparently watermelon juice is the bomb.
We discuss three great recipes. The first is a decadent Macaroni and cheese from Food Network chef (and Helana’s virtual tv boyfriend) Tyler Florence. He includes some wonderful toppings of additional cheese, bacon and onions. Yum!
The second recipe that you should make is cheese fondue. There are whole restaurants that serve nothing but fondue, but how many times have you made it at home? None, we’re guessing. It is so super easy that everyone out there should make their next party a fondue party. Seriously, do it. There is one small piece of gear required, a fondue pot, but it sounds like a good investment. If you’d like more recipes, that restaurant that I mentioned, The Melting Pot, published their recipes in a book. They’re so sure you won’t do this at home, they’ve given you all their secrets.
Third recipe is from Helana’s own blog, Clearly Delicious, and it’s for a cheese sandwich. Wha-What? A cheese sandwich? ”I make those all the time at home.” you might be thinking, but I doubt you make them like Helana does. Seduction bread from Whole Foods coupled together with three types of cheeses including bleu cheese. What’s not to love?
Email came in from Brenda suggesting a date recipe that Helana asked for on a previous show. She also asked about her dry sticky buns.

Thanks for the great show and an awesome episode! I have the best time listening to your podcast (still catching up on old episodes).
I was just hoping to hear more about making cheese at home like ricotta, mozzarella, or feta cheeses. Even homemade yogurt. It would be wonderful if you can do an episode about that.
Thanks again for the amazing podcast and keep up the good work!
