This week’s GoalChat was a food and cooking love fest. Debra Eckerling was joined by food writer, baker, and novelist Aaron Hamburger; Babette Pepaj, founder of Bakespace/BakeBot and co-founder of TastyUpdate.com; and CW Silverberg, host of "Schmoozing & Cruising" and "Tripping Kosher."

Aaron, Babette, and CW shared food stories, recipes, and cooking and baking tips. There were also plenty of nods to the panel’s midwestern roots. Happy Holidays!

Favorite Appliance

Easiest Fancy Dish

Goals

– Babette: Start your day with a clear head. Don’t leave your dishes overnight
– CW: Learn the fundamentals, roast a chicken. Make chicken in your waffles

Final Thoughts
