LIVE: The Seasonal Table; Summer Time
<p>Hello fellow Enlightened Omnivores,</p><p>Last Friday, Nicki Sizemore and I hosted the second installment of The Seasonal Table, our quarterly Substack Live series exploring what each season means in the kitchen, at the table, and in our daily lives.</p><p>You can watch the full replay above.</p><p>This season’s conversation centered on summer and the approaching solstice. We talked about why seasonal transitions mattered so much to earlier generations and why many of us have lost the habit of marking them. We explored summer through several different traditions, including the Medicine Wheel and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and found ourselves returning to a common question:</p><p>What if summer isn’t a season for accomplishing more, but rather for strengthening what matters most?</p><p>Along the way, Nicki shared some of her family’s summer rituals, including how the celebrate the the first zucchini blossoms from the garden. We also talked about why summer food often tastes better with less effort, how sauces and condiments can transform simple meals, and the surprising kitchen tool we both agreed we can’t live without.</p><p>And of course, we made food.</p><p>Nicki made a whipped labneh topped with pistachio dukkah, while I shared my Provençal-inspired tapenade loaded with olives, capers, anchovies, and a rosemary-infused olive oil. Both recipes are perfect examples of the kind of cooking I gravitate toward this time of year: simple, flexible, and designed to bring people together around a table.</p><p>As the solstice approaches, I hope you’ll find a way to mark the season—whether that’s a dinner with friends, a walk at sunset, a jump in a refreshing body of water, or simply paying a little more attention to the abundance that’s already here.</p><p><strong>Helpful links</strong></p><p>* My <a target="_blank" href="https://enlightenedomnivore.substack.com/p/recipe-the-simplest-dish-that-makes?utm_source=publication-search">Tapenade Recipe</a></p><p>* Nicki’s <a target="_blank" href="https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/whipped-labneh-with-pistachio-dukkah">Whipped Labneh with Pistachio Dukkah</a></p><p>* My favorite <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CTG-00-S3MS-Mini-Spatulas-Multicolor/dp/B00WRPOXEA/ref=sr_1_7?crid=16DNTNKS1U13T&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JvLhCTgoot0JjYusEnIdAQTcH91-096-5zxtxWUROTNCnL7lTAxeZi2OJZAPK1rnso8WgcTNNrpExJubuoKBxpwGZdplxSr45XNC6uUAh1XKIgKeUKioCqgFZMm9sSqRWSPLnbiAAMHP0TWikggFN7eW3yq_Wu768KEhKkAKrFfiN-JQjwDPVBSK7m-NaFNDlUIyBF7mpW5wPx-JQ91_NIYxLr_c62kgwWIQW8EbmDb8hsg839pgy9M3dxTKhrsilXBTiXlnzTPZ7J7w1cn2WxdG5KmhIBEQk1M5IpCq5T0.nn2RLKfOAT401616zJhkTfBTzxjVXIbwRJvLj6sLSrQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=mini+spatula&qid=1781561472&sprefix=mini+spatul%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-7">Mini Spatulas</a> that I talked about during our chat </p><p>* My favorite <a target="_blank" href="https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/jumbo-pitted-greek-kalamata-olives-025122">kalamata olives</a> at Trader Joe’s</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/redirect?clientContext=132-6879800-3543621&openid.pape.max_auth_age=31536000&openid.identity=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fap%2Fid%2Famzn1.account.VYBINARVSNBIQ5CLEVEP3YI4LU&openid.op_endpoint=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fap%2Fsignin&openid.pape.auth_time=2026-06-12T17%3A18%3A56Z&siteState=134-5530444-6481051&openid.signed=assoc_handle%2CaToken%2Cclaimed_id%2Cidentity%2Cmode%2Cns%2Cop_endpoint%2Cresponse_nonce%2Creturn_to%2CsiteState%2Cns.pape%2Cpape.auth_policies%2Cpape.auth_time%2Csigned&stashKey=36e90f97-7044-4ea6-8b24-0d5a589d1c5f&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wholefoodsmarket.com%2Fredirect&serial=3&openid.assoc_handle=amzn_wfm_web_sso_us&openid.ns.pape=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fextensions%2Fpape%2F1.0&openid.mode=id_res&openid.pape.auth_policies=http%3A%2F%2Fschemas.openid.net%2Fpape%2Fpolicies%2F2007%2F06%2Fnone&openid.sig=aA1icxRaSEjhnZceWocSFwhFTfCNI2up5RW5qexY3Q40H1JXcX6ltnqfH52ln4JirClDUNtZl0bGNsYEJBSCXcKnxe%2Bpb2hn1K%2Fh%2B%2BoZ5fMYG7VCXGJUaG80K8CDEKMX3L%2BlsnYfA2nqVrKrG2Oxf20A1pNu1%2FrqIy%2FvhKvRMhG1VGYeyeflZEcxhhSCBROcApjhGS%2FI0SGsLOrxV7nLy4XNql7N0pkqlpf2DJPAS5SCGXK00cl5ijmbECG0Sx5iZiDEdKxPos2yUlDlCuOtdrVQc0vgwlklQxg0aUv9y0qPBvPR%2FG8hr56cWTRMyb8E32%2BVFhhxfmMni%2B9ywgFc4Q%3D%3D&openid.claimed_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fap%2Fid%2Famzn1.account.VYBINARVSNBIQ5CLEVEP3YI4LU&openid.response_nonce=2026-06-15T22%3A14%3A13Z-5021609359517484016&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0">Crown Prince Anchovy Paste</a> in a TUBE!</p><p>Enjoy the replay, and let me know what summer rituals, traditions, or recipes shape this season for you.</p><p>Steve</p><p><strong>Coming in July: Food, Blood Sugar, and Metabolic Health with Beth Bollinger</strong></p><p>A few years ago, I discovered I was edging toward prediabetes and started paying closer attention to how food affected my body.

LIVE: Hot Dogs, Weird Foods, and What's in My Fridge
<p>Had an absolute blast this weekend talking weird food, hot dogs, Jell-O salads, presidential eating habits, duck pâté, giant wheels of White House cheese, White house ragers, and what’s hiding in our refrigerators with my friend <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/205723909-bennett-rea">Bennett Rea</a> of Cookin’ with Congress.</p><p>Bennett has built one of the most fascinating food history projects online — recreating the meals of presidents, politicians, and everyday Americans to explore what food says about culture, class, power, and identity. Somewhere between hot dogs for the Queen of England, and frozen cottage cheese suspended in Jell-O, we uncovered a surprising amount about American food.</p><p>We also opened our fridges live for the internet, which may or may not have been a mistake. </p><p>If you missed the conversation, listen to the replay. It’s a fun one. Come for the hot dog history, stay for the Siberian pine cone jam and morning presidential cocktails.</p><p>And definitely go follow Bennett’s work at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/cookinwithcongress/">Cooking with Congress</a> — especially if you love food history, strange recipes, or the beautifully weird ways Americans have eaten over the years.</p><p><strong>WORKSHOP: The Enlightened Freezer</strong></p><p>Most people use their freezer like a graveyard for leftovers and mystery meat. But chefs, butchers, and thoughtful home cooks know something different: your freezer might be the most important tool in your kitchen.</p><p>Join me for a practical workshop on <strong>Saturday June 13th, @9am PT / Noon ET </strong>to learn everything about freezing foods: how to organize things, preserve seasonal items, and make everyday cooking dramatically easier and cheaper. Paid subscribers can register at the link below.</p><p><strong>Stay Connected</strong></p><p>* Follow along on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@EnlightenedOmnivore">YouTube</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/enlightened_omnivore/">Instagram</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@enlightened_omnivore">TikTok</a> for video content, reels, and behind-the-scenes thoughts.

PODCAST Season Finale: Ending With a Friend
<p>This is the final episode of The Enlightened Omnivore Podcast — Season Two.</p><p>I’m taking a short break, but I’ll be back later this year with Season Three. In the meantime, there are more than 25 episodes waiting for you wherever you listen—so if you’ve been enjoying the show, please follow, subscribe, and leave a quick review wherever you download your podcasts. It would truly mean a lot.</p><p>Now, the real reason this episode matters.</p><p>My guest is <strong>Kurt Beardsley</strong>—one of my closest friends of more than three decades. And I don’t say that lightly. Kurt is the kind of friend who doesn’t just know my stories… he helped shape many of them.</p><p>Kurt is a photographer, an artist, a maker. He’s spent decades in music and entertainment—technical theater, production work, building sets, solving problems, getting impossible things done on impossible timelines. He has that rugged competence a lot of men quietly envy.</p><p>And somehow, alongside all that, he’s also one of the most emotionally grounded men I’ve ever known.</p><p>That combination—capable and tender—might be the most “sustainable” form of masculinity out there.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
