I keep dried fruit in the house and add them to the water of the oatmeal. They soften as the water comes to a boil then I add in my oatmeal and butter. It makes for a hearty and fruity breakfast. I found some on sale and mixed the different fruits in a large container.
I’m so happy to hear that somebody else doesn’t find oatmeal very filling. Everyone I talk to says that it sticks to your ribs and it leaves them full for hours and that is just not the case with me. I never thought about turning oatmeal into something else, though, so thank you for the recipe. I hope you’re feeling better.
Hope ur feeling better. Hate being sick! I usually like a noodle type soup w a bunch of garlic, ginger and brocolli for healing. Tad cayenne for sore throat! Such nice tea gift! I luv their cinnamon 🍵 tea! ❤ 😊
I agree with you about the aesthetic. Just for show and looks. It kind of reminds me of the birthday candle blossom. You light the fuse and it kind of suddenly springs open like a fiery flower. Most people get really startled lol. But about the boiling tea. I think the people who think it okay think the only way to drink tea is sweetened or from a fountain machine and don't really get it like you and I do. I love oolong and that's a halfway point between green and black. And no that's not white tea. And you can't over temp the water or the bitter flavor is overpowering. Tannins come out of black tea at high temps too making it unpleasant. Jasmine is another light tea that doesn't do well with high temps. I would always forget my kettle and it would come to a boil so I'd have to let it cool. I wish I could have one of those hot water dispensers that are settable to a fixed temp. But they're like for rich people. It's at least 5x a regular kettle like you and I have.
Hello from Vancouver :) watching this while drinking nettle tea. In the 70's, my moms roomate from India told her to suck on rock sugar whenever you have a cold because it soothes a sore throat, so while growing up we always had that kind of sugar in the house.
The cabbage dish would be great with rice noodles mixed into it. Cafe Bustelo makes an instant espresso. It's not espresso. But it is a step up from instant coffee. Dollar General sells it. Glad you're feeling better.
I have a book idea, I may have already suggested it, but Nala’s world about a guy who happens to rescue a cat out in the middle of nowhere in Bosnia while he’s riding his bicycle around the world and how she, the kitten, stole his heart. It’s all about that and their adventures! His first name is Dean but I have forgotten his last name. He is also on you tube and donates to animal shelters around the world. He still travels as well. The cat is amazing as she is fully adapted to travel. She actually has a fan base and they run into them all over the world!!
I’m glad to hear from you; I was worried about you last Sunday in reference to the LA fires! I am a tea lover too. My favorites are: Tetley Black & Green, PG tips, Stash Breakfast in Paris, Bigelow Constant Comment, and Organic India Tulsi Sweet Rose. The last one is no caffeine. I also drink teas from my garden herbs: mint, sage, oregano…
I use all my supermarket points for Christmas dinner so I dont have to worry about spending a fortune that month. You would probably like Indian spiced Chai. Tea is good. Glad you're feeling better. Real maple syrup is so good compared to the flavoured stuff at most places. Apple protein pancakes would be nice and filling. Thanks for the video Michelle.
I too love my electric kettle and use it daily. I use it to make instant coffee, tea, ramen noodles, instant oatmeal - can't live without it! I even just like to drink hot water whenever it's chilly out. I also don't find oatmeal by itself very filling. I do eat it often for breakfast, but I always add a LOT to it. I add fresh fruit, maple syrup, nuts, and granola in some combination. Sometimes even peanut or almond butter. I will have to try some of those Harney teas! They look so good. Thanks for another great video!
If you take any of the ingredients that come after the maple soy sesame seed sauce and put it into the ramekin you used to mix it will help get the rest of the sauce out by soaking itself. This works with honey and other things that you lose to the vessel
I've been on the apple kick as well. I've been eating two a day. Thank you for sharing. Try eating oatmeal for dinner... it helps with putting you to sleep. 😴 I had insomnia for a long time. A woman from India shared her recipe and I sleep now with no problems 😊
I love harney and sons tea. I’m not a big fan of cinnamon but their hot cinnamon is wonderful. And it does not even need sugar. I also love their Ceylon and India orange pekoe. Their London Fog tea is excellent. I love their African Autumn rooibos as well. When it comes to tea, black and herbal teas can handle being immersed in boiling water. But green and white teas can become bitter if exposed to boiling water. Better to put green tea in water after the boiling water has been in the cup for a bit. I have a hot water pot that I turn the temperature down a smidge that lets me pour water over the green. But still ok for the black or herbal teas. One nice thing about harney and sons is you can order a bag of teabags to refill the tins of their most popular teas like the hot cinnamon. Thanks for your inspiration even though you’ve been sick. Take your time and rest up. Drink lots of tea. 🫖 ☕️ 😊
@ArdentMichelle I'm not into tea that much because most of them don't taste like anything to me, and the tannins in a lot of twigs and barks will set off my stomach. But there is an HT tea, I can'tremember if it's the cinnamon or if it was a pumpkin spice that I absolutely loved. But I can't believe you got them for $5! I paid the Barnes & Noble markup price a few years ago!😅 And the birthday cake flavor is not worth it Good to know that you can refill and reuse that tin
I get so much enjoyment out of my tea station setup. What a great resource your local markets are! Dollar Tree has boxes of sugar cubes from time to time but you definitely have to keep your eye out for them. Great ideas ❤
Chocolate and berries is one of my favorite combinations!! I also love sharp cheddar cheese and blueberries together!! Club has come out with a new cracker that’s parm and garlic flavored and I’ve literally eaten a whole box with cheese and blueberries in the last week😂😂. I’m watching you to get some inspiration for supper tonight!! My daughter and grand daughter are coming to eat dinner and I’m so glad!!! I love cooking for people especially my kids!!! I hope you’re having a great day ❤❤❤
Im sorry to hear you were sick this week. I know quite a few people who have been sick, so you were certainly not alone. Im gonna have to try those pancakes soon. For some reason Ive been craving pancakes and those would have more nutrients than plain white flour pancakes. Hope youre feeling better. Thanks for the video!
Ardent, You pull it so together whilst only having 3 feet of work area!! My hat is off to you gurl. I have so much more space and had to buy a kitchen island for my stuff to fit it and still am struggling / adapting. Oiy.
Hello Michelle 💜. Thanks for a relaxing and informative video. TEA I was a collector and belonged to a club and purchased some lovely tea the company through the owner of the club sold. One thing I learned is steeping time makes a world of difference and I use the timer I purchased all the time. Observing water temp can make a slight difference. The electric tea kettle is a marvelous thing. I use mine at least once a day. I use it to boil water for pasta too. Love the TINS. I love tea that comes in tins just for the tins sometimes 😆. I purchased some nice tea balls and cups that came with a diffusers. Loose tea is a wonderful thing too. BUDET idea. Keep in mind most portions of loose and bagged teas can very often get two steeps. I have more to say ya know. I was born with a gift of gab. You made me hungry too and I need to go food shopping. I hope I am all caught up with your videos. I hate being late to see them on Sundays lately 🩵 I have a new schedule. I am a night owl 🦉 and being a day person is an adjustment. I love all seasons too though Winter can be a challenge 🥶 ⛄️
@ 💟 looking forward to hearing how you like them. I was given an assortment of tea and I wasn’t fond of Earl Grey but because it was a gift I figured I would try it again and maybe love 💗 worked its magic. I’m the tea group some cooked with tea and I have been watching the British Baking shows at my dad’s when he’s napping and a few used tea. 🍵 ya never know till you try.
Morning Michelle, I liked todays video, of course I ordered the black cinnamon tea immediately 😂😂 thanks for helping me spend my money 🤑 I am a tea drinker as well, in fact I ordered a tin of Orange Jasmine tea that I am supposed to be getting tomorrow, I haven't had it before and it sounded wonderful....so now I will have 2 New teas to try. Sorry you were not feeling well, I had 3 days of a migraine so I was in bed too. Anyway have a better week ahead, see you next Sunday. Charlotte
I always need to add a scoop of protein powder to my oatmeal for it to last me through to lunch. I found some Cinnamon Toast flavored at Walmart - I think the brand is Ryse. I enjoyed our segment on the teas. As I was watching this I was sipping on some Apple Cinnamon tea- I like to have a cup of decaf late at night. I have recently heard about "dessert" teas . I'm going to check those out. The Hot Cinnamon tea sounds really good to me. Take care, feel better and thank you!!
I'm loving tea season! and it's so short in California! 🌴☀️ your apple cinnamon tea sounds so good! I like to drink decaf in the evening too while I'm reading.
So weird.... I caught that crazy flu last Sunday as well. Wow it's a duzee, I am still coughing and resting. Glad you are feeling well enough to upload. Those teas look delicious, I will have to try them.
Mine was kind of weird. I got the cold chills really bad and then slept a lot for a couple of days and then was fine. No chest congestion or anything. Sorry to hear you had congestion. Glad you're on the mend.
I like to use unsweetened applesauce in oatmeal pancakes too. My favorite H & S tea is their chocolate mint tea. A friend got me that several years ago and I've been addicted to it ever since.
I have been trying that, because, like michelle, I find that oatmeal does not keep me full until lunchtime like egg whites and veggies do. I'm going to try this pancake recipe that she did here because I have a couple of apples that need some attention. I also like Trader Joe's 7 grains cereal. Maybe it's because it has quinoa in it that it stays with me a little longer
Great video! And I agree about toasting your own sesame seeds. Completely different taste and FANTASTIC flavor. I already went to Amazon and ordered some tea too😀. Have a great week, Michelle!
Hi Michelle, I am sorry you have been sick. I hope you feel better soon. The hot cinnamon tea looks good. My caregiver has started oatmeal banana pancakes which is pretty good as long as she cooks them all the way. A couple were still gooey inside. But the flavor is good. I should have her add some protein powder. I have some, but I think it is expired, so I will have to buy next month. Tske care and get well soon.
I was looking forward to your video. I find myself closing my eyes and your relaxing voice makes me nod off. I retire soon so I'm really looking forward to having time to cook more healthy and frugal. Im always in such a rush so it'll be great to be more creative. Thanks. Ps. I hope you're feeling much better 😊
Ho Michelle, I just shopped at Sams today! I always but the Honey Crisp apples. Love them chopped and put in my salads with chopped roasted pecans. Sam's is the best isn't it?! I am so looking forward to making that dish with the curry, smoked paprika and cumin (my 3 favorite spices!), unfortunately I won't be home for a couple of weeks to make it. Those pancakes look delicious and healthy, I think he will like those too. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for the cabbage recipe! I just made an entire recipe of Korean cabbage pancakes and had a giant one for breakfast. They were so good. I used half of a really big cabbage, chopped up with some scallions that we’re on the last legs and Two eggs in about half a cup of flour and a quarter of a cup of cornstarch it made at least four servings Now stacked in the refrigerator. I think I’m in my cabbage era because I’m just sick of broccoli. The other half of that giant cabbage made Parmesan cabbage steaks and they were delicious too! Michelle, there’s no such thing as bad food. There’s just food, but I understand trying to make the healthiest choices during the week and make celebratory choices on the weekend.
Great video Michelle! I agree about oatmeal, I don’t find it super filling by itself. However, if I put a pat of butter (I’m not shy with the butter, I’d say it’s a 1/2 tablespoon pat) and chopped walnuts or pecans on top with some brown sugar it helps make it more filling. Also, I add either banana or apple. If I have time, I sauté small dice apple in the butter and brown sugar. If anybody needs tips on how to make a healthy food much more fattening, follow me! 😂 Have a great week!
I am glad you are well again. I just love spending my Sunday’s with you. I have just discovered buckwheat groats and roasted kasha buckwheat. This gluten free seed can be ground into flour to make pancakes and can be both a cold and hot breakfast cereal. I use the roasted variety to make savory meals. It’s a great rice or potato substitute. The beauty of buckwheat is that it is lower on the glycemic index compared to rice and oatmeal. If you can’t find roasted kasha just roast the buckwheat groats in a hot skillet. I make a one cup batch of the groats and store them in the refrigerator. The next morning I add 1/3 cup of the cooked groats to a pan and cover with almond milk. You can add whatever ingredients you like to make a delicious hot or cold porridge. I also use cooked cold roasted kasha to make a fried rice substitute. Search how to make buckwheat so it’s not mushy. It’s best to rinse and soak in water for 10-15 minutes. Add equal amounts of cold water and salt to a pan. Cook until it begins to boil. Remove from the heat and cover with a towel for 15 minutes.
@@ArdentMichelleI got the tea today and it’s so wonderful. Thank you for sharing!! I love how it has just a bit of warmth heat from the cinnamon. Delicious!!
Hope you are feeling better! Have you tried Trader Joe's instant coffee? Pretty tasty and at a good price last I checked. For the oatmeal we've always made ours with milk so I wonder if the protein found in the milk makes it seem to "last longer", as in feeling full longer? I really appreciate your review of the teas. I'll have to check them out. I was wondering if you had any good recipe ideas to incorporate radishes? They are some of my husband's favorite vegetables.
I haven't tried their instant coffee. I would love to though. I'm sure the protein in the milk helps with the pancakes 👍 I haven't used radishes much but my favorites that come to mind are radish sandwiches when I did that English tea video. I think I layered them with either butter or cream cheese and soft white bread....and then when I made the green pozole soup, and topped them with slivers of radishes! That was SO GOOD!
I keep my raw sesame seeds in the freezer and any toasted ones, also. I don’t like buying them toasted as they can be or go rancid so much faster. I also keep any nuts in freezer, too unless I know they will be consumed quickly. Especially for nuts used in baking. Rancid nuts can spoil the whole dish or bread.
Here's what I do for my husband and me. Simmer fruit in a pan with butter or maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, whatever you prefer. Fruit can be chopped apples, cherries, cranberries, peaches etc. Simmer til soft and add to your cooked oatmeal bowl. Enjoy.
The channel for Nala’s world is actually one bike one world. You might use the numbers. Or search for Nala’s world and something with a tiger cat and a Scottish man with a beard should be it.
I really need to H-mart. They open one about 15 miles away. I have been looking for White Miso paste and havent been able to find at any of my regular stores.
I still find it so odd that kettles aren't standard issue in American homes. In the UK, everyone has one- yes for tea but also for any time you need to boil water- like to cook pasta, you boil the water in the kettle and then put it in the pan- faster and saves energy. I used to buy loose leaf tea from a place where they had kettles set to different temperatures for different teas and would give you a timer for steeping your tea as well. Sadly they closed even their online store. I usually just let the water sit a bit before I make my herbal teas now.
Another good book- The Old Man Who Real Love Stories (or maybe it's "Novels" in English? It's a little off from Spanish). By Luis Sepúlveda. Quick read, 137pp, but at the same time it's so good that you won't want it to end
Not cheap but the pancakes might have been good with some chopped nuts too. Do you use stevia? I use it or monk fruit in place of sugar in a lot of things ( doesn't work well in all things like cookies still need some sugar to brown properly) but it's very sweet and just a good healthy alternative. Do you like sesame candy? That stuff is so good! A great author (loved everything she has written which says a lot) julliet marillier. Check out hearts blood, the caller series and daughter of the forest. Happy reading!
Hi Michelle hope you are doing great. I found your channel about a year ago and I really love watching all your videos. It is very inspiring. I am an Indian married to an American so I do cook all kinds of cusines and I am a huge foodie. Recently I was gifted a variety of beans and lentils and I was wondering if I could share some with you. I love to share food with people in general so I hope I dont come across as creepy to you hence I wanted to check with you before sending some since I know you love beans and lentils. Do let me know. I'd love to see the recipes that you will come up with using those. Lots of love ❤
not creepy at all! As a fellow foodie, I understand the wanting to gift food 💜 However, I don't have a mail station any longer so I can't receive mail. Thank you so much though. I really want to try more Indian recipes this year and incorporating more veggies. Let me know if you have any recipes I should try!
Hubby and I always eat oatmeal or oat bran. We make it different ways. You have given us several variations. This helped a lot. Love you very much and thanks.
I keep dried fruit in the house and add them to the water of the oatmeal. They soften as the water comes to a boil then I add in my oatmeal and butter. It makes for a hearty and fruity breakfast. I found some on sale and mixed the different fruits in a large container.

Yes in an hour and a half or two, hungry again!
Add an egg if it is feasible! As in baked oatmeal .😊

I just learned something new about the oolong tea! Thank you! Excited to try this.
Try peanut butter and maple syrup!!! It is to die for! I am a retired caregiver and one of my clients showed me.
I layer those ingredients but haven't tried them together yet. Gonna try this later!

Dried fruit is so high in sugar, so way to go on fresh fruit! 🍎 ❤ also I know matcha shouldn’t have super hot water, it kills the antioxidants

Adding a bit of fat (butter or margarine) to your oatmeal will help to keep you full longer. I learned that from my mom as a kid.
great tip!
My grandpa (born 1899) always put butter in his oatmeal…back before people worried about their weight and were all slim. 😋

I find that eating meals with protein helps curb my appetite. Otherwise, I just want to keep eating. 😂
Have a blessed day 🙏🏾 thank you ❤️
Good morning! 😁 You too! Have a great rest of your weekend!
I was looking forward to your video. I find myself closing my eyes and your relaxing voice makes me nod off. I retire soon so I'm really looking forward to having time to cook more healthy and frugal. Im always in such a rush so it'll be great to be more creative. Thanks. Ps. I hope you're feeling much better 😊
Everything looks great. Jana DeLeon’s Miss Fortune Series is a fun book series. Cozy mysteries full of humor.
Thanks for sharing.
Get well soon 😊
thank you 💜
I'm much better now!
Ho Michelle, I just shopped at Sams today! I always but the Honey Crisp apples. Love them chopped and put in my salads with chopped roasted pecans. Sam's is the best isn't it?! I am so looking forward to making that dish with the curry, smoked paprika and cumin (my 3 favorite spices!), unfortunately I won't be home for a couple of weeks to make it. Those pancakes look delicious and healthy, I think he will like those too. Thanks for another great video!
I like apples in salads too! Although I've been on a hiatus from salads for awhile.
Thanks for the cabbage recipe! I just made an entire recipe of Korean cabbage pancakes and had a giant one for breakfast. They were so good. I used half of a really big cabbage, chopped up with some scallions that we’re on the last legs and Two eggs in about half a cup of flour and a quarter of a cup of cornstarch it made at least four servings Now stacked in the refrigerator. I think I’m in my cabbage era because I’m just sick of broccoli. The other half of that giant cabbage made Parmesan cabbage steaks and they were delicious too!
Michelle, there’s no such thing as bad food. There’s just food, but I understand trying to make the healthiest choices during the week and make celebratory choices on the weekend.
I have found some recipes lately for baked cabbage, creamy cabbage. I'm exploring because I'm sick of cauliflower LOL😅
The brand is Tea Forte, weekends in pj's are nice sometimes, too bad we have to be sick to do it 😂
that's exactly what I was thinking! Thanks for the tea brand. I'm going to check this out.
Thankful that you are feeling better. Going to try the hot cinnamon tea. 😊
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it.
I love your ideas! Thank you.
Hey. I gave my daughter the same cinnamon tea at Christmas and she loved it. Great video!
It's seriously addictive....and I think it's such a nice gift.
I liked the video. I like to try different kinds of tea also. Cheers! 😊
I love this format!
Great video Michelle! I agree about oatmeal, I don’t find it super filling by itself. However, if I put a pat of butter (I’m not shy with the butter, I’d say it’s a 1/2 tablespoon pat) and chopped walnuts or pecans on top with some brown sugar it helps make it more filling. Also, I add either banana or apple. If I have time, I sauté small dice apple in the butter and brown sugar. If anybody needs tips on how to make a healthy food much more fattening, follow me! 😂 Have a great week!
😂 that's funny. I do love nuts on my oatmeal, and also butter if it's here, but I just don't buy butter much because of the cost.
Vanilla Chai is my favorite tea (made with black tea, not the roibos tea - spelled wrong?). Lots of milk and a little honey.
I'll have to try that!
Thank you for the video!
welcome 😁 thanks for tuning in!
I am glad you are well again. I just love spending my Sunday’s with you. I have just discovered buckwheat groats and roasted kasha buckwheat. This gluten free seed can be ground into flour to make pancakes and can be both a cold and hot breakfast cereal. I use the roasted variety to make savory meals. It’s a great rice or potato substitute. The beauty of buckwheat is that it is lower on the glycemic index compared to rice and oatmeal. If you can’t find roasted kasha just roast the buckwheat groats in a hot skillet. I make a one cup batch of the groats and store them in the refrigerator. The next morning I add 1/3 cup of the cooked groats to a pan and cover with almond milk. You can add whatever ingredients you like to make a delicious hot or cold porridge. I also use cooked cold roasted kasha to make a fried rice substitute. Search how to make buckwheat so it’s not mushy. It’s best to rinse and soak in water for 10-15 minutes. Add equal amounts of cold water and salt to a pan. Cook until it begins to boil. Remove from the heat and cover with a towel for 15 minutes.
Thanks so much and thanks for sharing this with us!
@ My pleasure. I hope it can help you with coming up with some ideas for your channel.
Thks.for sharing your Sam's haul or groceries looks yummy.
I love all things cinnamon so I have added the Hot cinnamon tea to my cart. I cannot wait to try it.
let me know what you think. It's intense....but I love it!
@@ArdentMichelleI got the tea today and it’s so wonderful. Thank you for sharing!! I love how it has just a bit of warmth heat from the cinnamon. Delicious!!
Hope you are feeling better! Have you tried Trader Joe's instant coffee? Pretty tasty and at a good price last I checked. For the oatmeal we've always made ours with milk so I wonder if the protein found in the milk makes it seem to "last longer", as in feeling full longer? I really appreciate your review of the teas. I'll have to check them out. I was wondering if you had any good recipe ideas to incorporate radishes? They are some of my husband's favorite vegetables.
I haven't tried their instant coffee. I would love to though. I'm sure the protein in the milk helps with the pancakes 👍 I haven't used radishes much but my favorites that come to mind are radish sandwiches when I did that English tea video. I think I layered them with either butter or cream cheese and soft white bread....and then when I made the green pozole soup, and topped them with slivers of radishes! That was SO GOOD!
I keep my raw sesame seeds in the freezer and any toasted ones, also. I don’t like buying them toasted as they can be or go rancid so much faster. I also keep any nuts in freezer, too unless I know they will be consumed quickly. Especially for nuts used in baking. Rancid nuts can spoil the whole dish or bread.
I should probably do this with some of my nuts.
Here's what I do for my husband and me. Simmer fruit in a pan with butter or maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, whatever you prefer. Fruit can be chopped apples, cherries, cranberries, peaches etc. Simmer til soft and add to your cooked oatmeal bowl. Enjoy.
Love fruit like this 👍
The channel for Nala’s world is actually one bike one world. You might use the numbers. Or search for Nala’s world and something with a tiger cat and a Scottish man with a beard should be it.
I really need to H-mart. They open one about 15 miles away.
I have been looking for White Miso paste and havent been able to find at any of my regular stores.
I bet they would have it. I love that place!
@@Laguns-ij4hn I wish there was an H-Mart here too. I'm right outside of Seattle, I don't think there are any in the State.
yay!!!!!!
I still find it so odd that kettles aren't standard issue in American homes. In the UK, everyone has one- yes for tea but also for any time you need to boil water- like to cook pasta, you boil the water in the kettle and then put it in the pan- faster and saves energy.
I used to buy loose leaf tea from a place where they had kettles set to different temperatures for different teas and would give you a timer for steeping your tea as well. Sadly they closed even their online store. I usually just let the water sit a bit before I make my herbal teas now.
that's interesting. 🤔 I would like to try the loose leaf teas. I find this a very affordable new hobby! Maybe try one new tea every 6 weeks or so.....
Another good book- The Old Man Who Real Love Stories (or maybe it's "Novels" in English? It's a little off from Spanish). By Luis Sepúlveda. Quick read, 137pp, but at the same time it's so good that you won't want it to end
Where can you find the blooming tea? That’s really neat.
if you google some places will come up, but I'm not sure where she got hers.
Not cheap but the pancakes might have been good with some chopped nuts too. Do you use stevia? I use it or monk fruit in place of sugar in a lot of things ( doesn't work well in all things like cookies still need some sugar to brown properly) but it's very sweet and just a good healthy alternative.
Do you like sesame candy? That stuff is so good! A great author (loved everything she has written which says a lot) julliet marillier. Check out hearts blood, the caller series and daughter of the forest. Happy reading!
thanks - those are going on my list.
I haven't tried sesame candy. I'll have to look for it.
Hi Michelle hope you are doing great. I found your channel about a year ago and I really love watching all your videos. It is very inspiring. I am an Indian married to an American so I do cook all kinds of cusines and I am a huge foodie. Recently I was gifted a variety of beans and lentils and I was wondering if I could share some with you. I love to share food with people in general so I hope I dont come across as creepy to you hence I wanted to check with you before sending some since I know you love beans and lentils. Do let me know. I'd love to see the recipes that you will come up with using those. Lots of love ❤
not creepy at all! As a fellow foodie, I understand the wanting to gift food 💜 However, I don't have a mail station any longer so I can't receive mail. Thank you so much though. I really want to try more Indian recipes this year and incorporating more veggies. Let me know if you have any recipes I should try!

Steal cut oats keep me full.
Hubby and I always eat oatmeal or oat bran. We make it different ways. You have given us several variations. This helped a lot. Love you very much and thanks.
You're welcome! 😊
I love watching your videos but they are so quiet. When the ads come on, they blast my volume.
I'm so sorry..
