In this episode of A Chat with Heart, Christina chats with the wonderful Mary Janet McDonald - Cape Breton baking legend, storyteller, and all-around gem. They talk about the joy of cooking, the pull of community, and the family traditions that shape us. Mary shares memories of growing up in Cape Breton, the warmth of maritime hospitality, and how her cookbooks honour the grandmothers and recipes that keep our histories alive.
They also get into the fun stuff - her iconic red lipstick, our favourite comfort dishes, the power of a good apron, and all the little things that make time in the kitchen feel like home. It’s a cozy, creative conversation filled with gratitude, laughter, and love for the people (and food!) that bring us together.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
