In this heartfelt bonus episode of Let’s Talk Food, Chef April Fontenot opens her heart to honor the life, love, and lasting legacy of her beloved mother. Remembering Her is a celebration of how food, family, and memory intertwine — how each recipe tells a story, every meal carries love, and every shared table keeps our loved ones close long after they’re gone. April reflects on the beautiful ways we remember and honor those we’ve lost — from comforting recipes that fill our homes with familiar aromas to the traditions that bring families together generation after generation. This week, April also shares a few powerful moments that touched her soul — including watching the moving Lifetime film “For The Love of Ruth” on YouTube and an inspiring Breakfast Club interview featuring rapper, producer, and humanitarian Gucci Mane and his wife, beauty mogul Keyshia Ka’oir. Their openness about mental health, and Gucci Mane’s journey living with schizophrenia, offers an important reminder to care for ourselves, slow down, and appreciate every moment with our children and loved ones. These moments — along with reflections from other uplifting clips — remind us all to pause, breathe, and cherish the people who fill our lives with purpose. Because life’s sweetest moments often happen right at the table, through love, laughter, and the meals that warm our hearts. So grab your favorite comfort dish, take a deep breath, and join Chef April for a loving tribute to her mother — and all the women whose love continues to nourish us every single day. 💻 Featured YouTube Clips: Additional Reflective Clip on Mothers & Gratitude → https://youtu.be/UNfiZoPgOQU?si=QCNQBHIQXxzrx7ri Lifetime Movie: “For The Love of Ruth” → https://youtu.be/RJUgPw-C8Tk?si=msySUr-s2MMoaTEU Breakfast Club Interview — Gucci Mane & Keyshia Ka’oir → https://youtu.be/N05ai_0hwxs?si=YAkad3QtyrAYA2Nl 🌐 Connect with Chef April Fontenot: Instagram: @coopiesamericancuisineandseafood TikTok: www.youtube.com/@aprilfontenot9354 📧 For collaboration requests, recipe ideas, funny stories, or to leave feedback on the show: Email: https://www.podbean.com/PodbeancomPBNEW 👉 Unlimited Business Hosting Plans: https://www.podbean.com/pro/PodbeancomPBNEW

If using a frying pan or skillet, fill it halfway before the rim and allow it to heat up.     Place catfish filets in a nice-sized bowl to clean. Rinse with cold water.     Slice the lemon into three to four medium-sized slices to clean the catfish, then squeeze over the  entire catfish filets on both sides.     Rinse the catfish after cleaning with vinegar, lemon, and cold water.     Pat dry with clean paper towels or shake dry.     Coat the filets with the Louisiana Fish Fry evenly on both sides.     Once your oil is heated and hot slowly fry the filets in the cooking oil and allow them to fry for 4 minutes or so, or to your desired crispiness, but make sure they are done inside.     After frying, place on a dish with paper towels to sop up the oil and cool.  Sprinkle the parsley or chopped chives on top of the catfish filets to garnish . Once cooled to your desired temperature, you are ready to serve with your favorite sides.     I would pair it with a nice, fully loaded baked potato, healthy side salad, and sweet potato fries.       Link to Download Yuka App:        https://www.appisfree.com/detail/io.yuka.android?u=PCing&utm_source=bing&adgid=1183076474152026&cid=570516351&utm_content=o&utm_id=1183076474152026&msclkid=39e75efa74e111a89981362e5a81c18e#google_vignette           For collaboration requests, share recipe ideas, funny stories, and leave feedback on the show.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Food, Chef April Fontenot explores the surprising connection between Tai Chi and food. Much like the flowing movements of Tai Chi bring balance and harmony to the body, our relationship with food can also be guided by mindfulness, rhythm, and intention. April discusses how the practice of slowing down, being present, and listening to the body—core principles of Tai Chi—can transform the way we cook, eat, and even share meals. She’ll dive into how Tai Chi philosophy can encourage healthier choices, reduce stress-related eating, and create a deeper sense of appreciation for the nourishment food provides.     AI References:      google.com/search?q="Tai+Chi+%26+Exercise%3A+Same+Health+Benefits%2C+Different+Diets%3F"&sca_esv=40416cf4ac9e8052&ei=wK63aOXDDdqwqtsPquO2-A8&ved=0ahUKEwjlo_KxzLuPAxVamGoFHaqxDf8Q4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq="Tai+Chi+%26+Exercise%3A+Same+Health+Benefits%2C+Different+Diets%3F"&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiPCJUYWkgQ2hpICYgRXhlcmNpc2U6IFNhbWUgSGVhbHRoIEJlbmVmaXRzLCBEaWZmZXJlbnQgRGlldHM_IjIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigATIFECEYqwIyBRAhGKsCSJc6UJgEWLE3cAJ4AZABAZgBf6ABvBSqAQQzMC40uAEDyAEA-AEB-AECmAIfoALXEagCCsICChAAGLADGNYEGEfCAg0QABiwAxjWBBhHGMkDwgIOEAAYgAQYsAMYkgMYigXCAgUQIRifBcICBhAAGBYYHsICCxAAGIAEGIYDGIoFwgIIEAAYFhgKGB7CAgsQABiABBiRAhiKBcICCBAAGIAEGKIEwgIFEAAY7wXCAgUQABiABMICCBAuGIAEGLEDwgIIEAAYgAQYsQPCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICDhAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGIoFwgIKEAAYgAQYQxiKBcICBRAuGIAEwgILEC4YgAQYsQMYgwHCAgoQLhiABBhDGIoFwgIREC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwHCAg4QLhiABBixAxjRAxjHAcICExAAGIAEGEMYtAIYigUY6gLYAQHCAhUQABiABBhDGLQCGIoFGOoCGArYAQHCAhAQABgDGLQCGOoCGI8B2AEBwgIQEC4YAxi0AhjqAhiPAdgBAZgDBPEFIke0e-iR1kCIBgGQBgq6BgQIARgHkgcEMjkuMqAHqfcBsgcEMjcuMrgHyhHCBwgwLjkuMjEuMcgHcQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp       YouTube Link For Tai Chi and Digestion:      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA6QsRYdH6Y       Movie Reference From Netflix that was executive produced by Michelle & Barack Obama:     " Leave The World Behind"     Released December 2023       YouTube Trailer for the Movie:      https://youtu.be/IB7xfX8MIKo?si=fURK8BCVwkKIQtu3     For collaboration requests, share recipe ideas, funny stories, and leave feedback on the show.
