The Empty Nest Kitchen Podcast

A show for empty nest women who want to embrace life, build connection through cooking — and have a lot of fun along the way!

Why hello there, new friend!

Hi, I’m Christine Van Bloem, host of The Empty Nest Kitchen Podcast.

We’re finding fun in the kitchen and navigating life after the kids have flown the coop! Get ready to be inspired with a mix of guests and food talk, all here to help you find the joy in cooking (and maybe even entertaining!) again!

After my heart attack, I made the choice not just to adapt my cooking style, but to lead a happier, more fulfilling life, and find more joy.

Join me each week as I help you discover new foods, talk specifics (feeling salty perchance?) and introduce you to the coolest Empty Nest women around!

Want to know more or be a guest on the show? You can contact me here.

Just listened to the debut salt show and truly enjoyed the show. I know Christine and have loved her relaxed and easy approach to cooking.
Love that she’s sharing her many years of experience and knowledge in the podcast. Very good info, easy to follow, easy to learn.
