Are you fed up with constantly having to come up with meal ideas for your family?
Not Pasta Again podcast is for you if you are busy juggling the demands of work, family life and the daily battle of what to cook for dinner each day.
This podcast is all about helping you flourish with food. Whether that is understanding better what food you are eating, bringing joy back into cooking, giving you confidence in the kitchen, eating without feeling guilty and redefining the meaning of convenience when it comes to putting food on the table.
Join me Sam Parker, on a journey to help you flourish with food and redefine not only how we feel about the role of being meal provider but bringing joy back to the dinner table.
In this reflective episode, I look back on a year of podcasting, sharing insights from various guests on topics such as nutrition, children's eating habits, and the importance of real food. Plus I make an announcement.

Ep 29. Interview with No Fuss Meals For Busy Parents Founder Milly Fyfe
I have a guest joining me this week - Milly Fyfe, a passionate advocate for food education and sustainability. Milly shares her journey as a farmer's wife and social entrepreneur and the work she does in connecting families with locally sourced, whole foods. Through her community interest company, she runs workshops that educate children and families about the farm-to-fork journey and seasonal produce. Milly discusses the challenges we face in meal preparation and the convenience of frozen vegetables, while also highlighting the positive impact her workshops have on participants' understanding of food.
