On the Menu
On The Menu is designed to give listeners a taste of what cuisines, beverages, and other gastronomic delights are trending, interesting, worthy of discussion, or what is simply on Quantella’s mind that she wants you to ponder.
On the Menu: Surf and Turf
I consider myself a hearty eater. I love veggies and stuff – I eat a lot of them during the week, but by the weekend, my body is ready for a date with some satisfying food.
On the Menu: Breakfast
What helped ease into the first day of saving light – and will welcome spring with a smile? A breakfast for champions!
On the Menu: The Crock-Pot
It’s still cold outside, and I guess that’s the weather for a while since Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog Day - predicting six more weeks of winter. So don’t put away the slow cooker!

Like me, did you wake up January 1 wondering: what am I going to eat and drink this year?

Christmas is near, and even more culinary traditions will grace tables across America.

In a lighthearted survey taken in 2020 by a San Francisco PR firm, participants were asked “What best describes your attitude towards fried chicken”? Fifty percent said they love it. Sixteen percent said that they would marry fried chicken if they could.

I have a question for you. When I ask, "What is American food?" You say…
On the Menu: Potato Salad

On the Menu: Surf and Turf
I consider myself a hearty eater. I love veggies and stuff – I eat a lot of them during the week, but by the weekend, my body is ready for a date with some satisfying food.
On the Menu: Collard Greens and Pot Likker
Spring arrived March 19, at 10:06 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Spring symbolizes many things, like starting over, baseball, bunnies, baby chicks – and planting the bounty of fresh produce that awaits us in summer and fall. The bounty that I will be awaiting is collard greens.
