Dinner Table Talks

Every week the Dinner Table is offering up a new a delicious bite of table Talks. This week Aislynn welcomes Life Coach Sara Longoria to dinner and conversations at the table. And these two women can find every ounces of opportunity available to inspire. In today's world finding a niche that works for you isn't always about what your audience wants, but what do you want? Say what?! Yeah Aislynn an...

Wow, is the dinner table always a place where anything goes? This week's Dinner table Talk is a must for every person and why not at the Dinner table. So grateful to welcome my friend Martha Heymann to the Dinner Table to share her experiences with talking about death. Her greatest desire is to get you talking about something we simply don't talk about in our culture. And she shares her ex...

Where does the conversation go when your farmers come to the table? We farmers love to talk and it was no surprise that when Aislynn and the Kellers got together to talk at the Dinner Table with a bottle of the 2020 Freedom Harvest Farms Red Wine nothing was off limits! And the conversations takes a winding journey throughout the minds of some visionary thinkers. So buckle up for another magical m...

This week another Chef comes to the Dinner Table. Chef Zelina, her daughter Emily and Aislynn tackle Goat Steak and another AIP Dessert and yet somehow FIGS are the center of this week's Dinner Table Talks.

With all of the stories you all have heard me tell recently at the diner table it was great to have Tim join for a discus...

Are you ready to surrender? This week is a pure moment of vulnerability at the dinner table.

Aislynn continues her journey into reintroduction after over 90 days of the AutoImmune Protocol Elimination...

Well this week is different! With only one host at the Dinner Table Aislynn brings on a a guest and discusses the future. She also takes a minute to tell us a story about a scorpion adventure and questions about how to know the nutrient density of foods. And some questions may never get answered at the Dinner Table. This Week's Recipes: AIP Approved Pork Stir Fry and Chicken Pasta Primavera Ra...

Between Aislynn's support group, Joe's inability to be introspective--at all...about anything--and an in-depth look at the money we spend on food, we get pretty deep this week. Aislynn's given up TV and drops a definition of 'addiction' that Joe gets on board with. He admits his lifetime of building a pain and introspection fortress but says he doesn't want to live that way...

A cash flow issue at home and a social media interaction with a fool open up the fears and anxieties that often accompany money. Shirking 'the way everyone else does it' to do the work that one is meant to do is noble, but, for Aislynn, it comes with the questioning of one's value. We talk it all out with a dash of social media criticism. Joe delves into his adoption, how it may have s...

'Climate change confusion' is the topic at this week's Dinner Table after giving the latest rush of new listeners a few behind-the-scenes Dinner Table Talks tips. Why is there a gong? Where did Random Question of the Week come from? Joe thought Aislynn's comment about 'climate confusion' last week was spot on so we go into a little detail about what we all meant. A sheep ha...

Aislynn digs into her 'a-ha moment' from last week (that regeneration of the earth AND the body is interconnected) and Joe has one (living a healthy life REQUIRES a connection to one's kitchen) in the middle of the show. Dueling 'a-ha moments' at The Dinner Table. Joe busts a rib, Aislynn loves soup (and dip), our AIP diet recipes of the week, and a deeper dive into glyphosate...

Aislynn had a revelation that squelched some doubts she was having about her value as a regenerative farmer. Regeneration. Bio-Diversity. Interconnectedness. We catch up on some deep thoughts like 'How does 'the way we do things' become the way we do it?' Also, Joe gets attacked by a chicken. Our stray Muscovy duck gets a partner, and we cook up plenty of (AIP friendly) amazing food: Coconut Milk...

Guest Ladonna Rocha, Doctor of Naturopathy, diagnosed Aislynn with leaky gut and suggested the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet about three months ago. We asked her to join us to help wrap up our 7-episode series about the AIP Diet. We tackle what naturopathy is and then dive deep into autoimmune disorders, what they are, what the diet 'does' and our opinions on how natural medicine and conventional...

Joe gives his annual list of the top 5 films of the year just in time for The Oscars...and that's just the appetizer of a multi-course Dinner Table Talks. Aislynn has nutrient-dense foods on her mind which brings up a recent conversation about reading labels, MSG and a Joe's crunchy hippie thoughts on how the Earth is designed to give us everything we need to eat. Did you know that trees talk? Ais...

It's a 'food heavy episode' this week as we tackle a backlog of autoimmune protocol recipes, grocery essentials, new rabbits, snake attacks, and The Super Bowl. An AIP crawfish boil, AIP comfort foods, AIP hibachi, fried rice, and nori soup! And for dessert, a carob/berry smoothie. Unanswered Questions:  Is salt an herb, a spice, or something else? Random Question of the Week: How do you make...

We're back from our road trip to New Orleans!

We discuss The Last of Us, a new sci-fi zombie show featuring real-life fungi, and Joe's first go at skinning a pig ("how graphic should I get?") before launching into Part 3 of Aislynn's new autoimmune protocol diet. This week she talks about the 'whys' of it all. Random Question of the Week: Is Torture Ever Justified?

Our journey into the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet continues as Aislynn lists the acceptable foods, from kangaroo to leafy greens, that you can enjoy. We talk sex (chicken sex, that is), name our new duck, talk the recent nationwide egg laying slowdown, Joe gets a flat tire and so much more. Pull up a chair! We have a lot to talk about.  Unanswered Questions: How do chickens have sex? Do muscovy...

Leaky gut, autoimmune disorders, and the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) Elimination Diet. Aislynn is determined to get to the bottom of it all and dives right in this week. Learn along with us as we move into a lot of personal unchartered territory. Joe goes to his first therapy appointment, joins Aislynn in her morning qi gong, has a very special meal prepared at our very favorite restaurant, and we h...

Aislynn creates a whole new garden and tells us how she does it. Then it's a first-time consult at the homeopathist and therapist, and Aislynn tells us all about it.

Unanswered Questions: What's the difference between Tai Chi and Qi Gong? Did we fix last week's Roas...

We each set out to find a therapist this week and report both stories back to you. Joe has health insurance; Aislynn does not. How did it all play out? Find out this week along with a pledge to read more (and each of our current reading lists) while we're still cooking all the produce that came out of Aislynn's gardens prior to the recent freeze.
