I'm a West Indian and I've never seen anyone put raisins in curry before, it's very interesting to see! I absolutely love your channel. Happy new year🎉
Thanks so much for this! I’m always apprehensive about so-called healthy recipes because a lot of people use expensive or difficult to source ingredients. Your recipes look delicious, are easy to make, and have ingredients we can find almost anywhere. Fantastic!
THANK YOU for saying that full fat good ground beef is actually good. ALL natural healthy fats are good for your brain. Tons of people do not realize this!
I find that an easy way to brew loose leaf tea is to use a fine mesh stainless steel strainer … I’ll either brew directly into my tea cup, or if brewing larger quantities, add the loose tea to a large glass measuring cup, and then once steeped pour it into individual tea cups by placing the stainless steel strainer on top of each individual tea cup as you pour. Or a stump tea pot with a built in stainless steel fine mesh strainer Love your videos
Use good old tea strainer to strain loose tea leaves. I grew up in Sri Lanka where Ceylon tea is grown. We just put the leaves in a jug pour hot water and let it brew and use the tea strainer to filter the leaves. Top it with milk and sugar and drink it English style.
Loved this video! You are my new favorite to watch for meal inspiration. I am typically not a cabbage fan, but I am totally trying that slaw recipe. Looks fabulous. I am also going to try the hummus and the meatball recipes. Thank you for all of your healthy meal inspiration. I too, like to have a little something at night with my tea. Looking forward to more from you.
I don’t like escaped tea leaves in my tea as well. I recently found those disposable tea bags from Amazon. It comes with a big amount so lasts pretty long. I usually just scoop in about 1tsp of leaves to make one cup. Ive been happy with the purchase.
I made your meatballs today and they are so good! I'm going to cook up some vegetables and enjoy a hearty meal while the snow is coming down. The meatballs will be on rotation from now on!
Was so excited to see this video pop up! I think I have watched all of them now. I am definitely going to make the cabbage salad & meatballs. Thanks so much for sharing these healthy choices.💟
I have a tea ball that has handles that you squeeze open to put tea leaves inside to brew i found at the Amish store.I've been using my electric tea. So easy. 28:44 kettle
Dit ziet er heerlijk uit ! Wij in Nederland eten in de ochtend en middag heel simpel met een broodje kaas of vleeswaren. We “koken” nooit overdag alleen voor het avondeten. Waar haal je de tijd vandaan 😊
Mountain Rose Herbs carries a stainless steel tea strainer with moon & star cut outs (celestial) that fits over most average size mug rims. The mesh basket part sits down into the mug so as long as the water level covers the herbs, you're good. May not be perfect but I find that it functions better than a tea ball. If that isn't enough, you can use a cloth strainer bag (drawstring top) or toss loose leaf in a Pyrex measuring pitcher with pour spout (or other tempered glass container), pour your water over it and either steep it & strain it into the mug or steep it & put the mesh strainer over your mug & pour the loose tea/water mix into the strainer in the mug and then just lift the strainer out. If you'd prefer a more modern sleek look, there are other similar but plain stainless tea strainers online. I've only watched one of your videos but really enjoyed it and will definitely be tuning in to more. You make everything seem so simply do-able. Thank you. Be well :)
Firstly I love your video, thank you. Secondly I am English and you need a teapot and a tea strainer for your loose leaf tea, I'm hoping you can get a tea strainer in the US, they are just very small sieves that sit over your teacup whilst you pour your tea from the teapot and catch all the tea leaves. 😊
Before I got a good tea ball I used a small stainless sink strainer and I put the tea leaves in and set it over my cup. I pour the hot water over that and up til it comes to the leaves so they sit in the water to steep!
Thank you for the video. I’m a new subscriber. I’m in my 50s and wish I had known in my 20s what I know now regarding food (well, regarding EVERYTHING😊). I went to the store yesterday to get ingredients for a week of your recipes.
Elizabeth, I bought the cooking utensil set, with the dark wood handles (I’ve always admired yours) and they’re FANTASTIC!! Such great quality, especially for the cost and that’s for a WHOLE set. I’m going to gift the set for birthday presents this year, that’s how much I love them.🥰 I love everything you use in the kitchen, after each video I add everything to my wishlist lol Thank you for recommending them!
I pour my loose leaf brewed tea through a single size mesh strainer lined with a piece of organic cotton fabric (cut from a organic produce bag😜). Wonderful videos! Thank you!
I love cabbage too. I make cabbage with cucumber and deel. We can eat it every night with dinner. Love your real food recipes, will try meatballs your way.
my kids and myself dont like mushrooms so my husband minces them so we can still get the nutrients but its invisable so you dont know its there whenyour eating it.
Thank you so much for all of these recipes!!! Also side note.. your skin is beautiful!! I’m sure it’s from eating so clean but please share your skin care routine/products if you use them! ❤
It's such a pleasure, I hope you love them!! That is so sweet. I think its all the cooking fats that help the most honestly...I use a lot of avocado oil 😂
You can cook the exact same meals and just substitute anything too expensive or that you can't find! Just stick with mostly whole foods, your body is still greatly benefitted from just eating minimal ingredient foods 💛
Your recipes look delicious and healthy… I can’t wait to try them. Thank you for sharing… this is the first time I have watched any of your videos and I’m looking forward to more.😊
It’s always better to purchase a piece of Pecorino, or any cheese, and grate it yourself. There are usually some additives and the cheese will be loose moisture. I know it’s an extra step to take.
Oh yes, that is definitely right. I normally always do but my store was out so they substituted it. I agree, block pecorino is preferred, I also love saving the rinds for soups!
Wonderful!! So glad! I actually just had to replace it because one of the kids broke it 🤭 this is that one: amzn.to/3vkzYzL and this is the one I replaced it with: amzn.to/3txLfMR
Aww that is so sweet, thank you!! That brings me a ton of joy to hear that. Its actually an Orthodox Christian baptismal cross, so a cross you receive at baptism 💛
What is your drink/mixture with the apple cider vinegar to balance out your blood sugar in the morning? And, what is the brand and/or where do you purchase those dates rolled in coconut? They look delicious. Thanks
It’s a splash (about 1/2 - 1 tablespoon) of the apple cider vinegar in a big cup water with a squeeze of lemon. Drink with a straw! The date rolls were Sprouts (store brand) but you could easily make them homemade ☺️
I cant get my cast iron to not stick...i tryed everything 😫. Im not wasting energy on it i have a Dimond pan. I cant eat chickpeas whole, crohns disease, cauliflower does not work in my digestion. I might try it pureed and see what happens, turmeric real helps my inflammation. Cabbage hurts my stomach 🤦♀️I have found any beef or pig doesn't work in my gut. I get emty unbleached tea bags off Amazon... but i had a lot of davids tea mugs with baskets..unfortunately i don't own anything now😔.
I’m so hungry for veggies and hummus now! YES! I need a low calorie snack and that will fit just fine! I’m amazed that you cook 3 meals a day for your family! And that you homeschool! You get your energy from your Momma I’m sure! LOVE her channel too! I need to make your recipes…..and I need a freezer! Let us know what you get! If we can’t get my freezer fixed, I’ll be looking for another one! Thank you for all you teach us! Nothing like having Moms eggs until your chickens produce! I SO want chickens…..another epic video! ❤❤❤
Veggies and hummus are such an everyday staple! Love trying new fun flavors 😋 I definitely don’t cook 3 meals everyday if I can help it. We are huge fans of leftovers for lunch
Another great video! Do you know much about triglycerides? I was told in my last blood work test that mine were high. Curious what you would do for that if it were you.
There could be so many different reasons but if I was speaking to myself (no health claims here of course 😂) my cheat sheet would be: 1. lower sugar and refined carb intake 2. really watch the kinds of fats you're eating, incorporate more omega 3's (salmon, chia seeds, walnuts, cod liver oil supplement etc.) 3. up your whole food fiber intake (brown rice, sweet potatoes over bread, lots of veggies) 4. exercise or any movement to help your body metabolize sugar, which lowers the amount of sugar in your blood and decreases the amount of sugar your body converts to triglycerides.

I am with you!! Sometimes I’ll put a fun toy on the kitchen rug so my youngest can just be there with me. You are not alone and it really does get easier. Just kept it simple so you can make it with one hand if necessary… sheet pan, crock pot, instant pot
Love your videos! For loose leaf tea I use a Harney & Sons tea strainer. It's a bit more expensive but high quality and handmade in India. I've also seen similar options on Amazon. 🤍

I brew loose leaf tea in my French press. It works great and you can make larger batches to share with your family.
I do too 😊
Great idea!
Okay! ☺️ Im switching my French press over to teas, it has excellent filters on it so that should be just great. Thank you!!

Amen to this .
And getting enough healthy fats is especially important for women, too!

Cool. I like the variety because I feel like I’m in a rut. That pad Thai looked interesting & could easily add a protein if you wanted.

I have a metal infuser that I use for my loose leaf tea. Similar infuser to those you find in water bottles. It works fantastic.
Ah okay thank you!!

I recommend a stainless steel Tea Infuser basket that sits on the rim of your cup. Nothing gets through! Absolutely love your channel!
Thanks for the tip!! I’m definitely looking into that.
All of this looks amazing
Try a Mosi tea infuser Game changer for enjoying tea❤
my kids and myself dont like mushrooms so my husband minces them so we can still get the nutrients but its invisable so you dont know its there whenyour eating it.
That’s a great tip!
Love your recipes get so much inspiration and learn so much from your videos.
I'm so glad! Thank you 💛
Try the mosi tea infuser. Will use loose tea leaves and will not leak.
Thank so much! I'll check it out.
Hi, I’m new to your channel. Adding noodles to the curry is a great idea! I’m trying it this week. Thanks for sharing
Hi! So glad you're here. I just adore noodles in curry, super comforting.
For loose leaf tea I made a little muslin satchel.
That’s a fantastic idea, never thought of that! Very natural.
Where did you get your coffee mug from? I love it!
Thank you so much for all of these recipes!!! Also side note.. your skin is beautiful!! I’m sure it’s from eating so clean but please share your skin care routine/products if you use them! ❤

love your video and I'll try another. Really liked how you explained what you were doing and why in a way that someone could do the same.
Wonderful, that is my goal! If I can help someone eat better or better their life in some way then I am so grateful.
I love your videos helps with meal ideas, unfortunately some of literally can’t afford organic, grass fed etc.
You can cook the exact same meals and just substitute anything too expensive or that you can't find! Just stick with mostly whole foods, your body is still greatly benefitted from just eating minimal ingredient foods 💛

Elizabeth have you watched You are what you Eat on Netflix? I agree with you I eat grass fed hamburger. Thanks for teaching us about nutrition.
Ooo! I have not! I’ll check it out. Thanks so much 😊
You should try einkorn flour! I am gluten intolerant and I have no symptoms as long as I use sourdough starter.
I’m the same!! I’ve actually been using that off and on for about 6 years, it’s fantastic
Cannot wait to watch you take off! 😍
🥹 Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it 💛

Hi, did you use a 1/4 cup of maple syrup, tahini etc for your hummus? I can’t find your recipe on your website. Thank you! 😊
I think I probably used around 3 TBS...It's still a work in progress but once I get it just right I'll post the recipe! 😁
Hi, where is your coffee pot from?
I have the same cast iron skillet but mine sticks in places, what do you recommend doing?
Hmmm! Maybe just try coating it in a little oil and then heating it up really well, then turn the heat off. This usually does the trick for me!
Where do you find all this grass fed meat and your organic foods, I live in an area that is very limited on these things
Try out Butcher box delivery for grass fed beef, free range chicken and heritage pork, as well as Wild caught fish and shrimp. They ship to all 48 contiguous states
Your omelette came out perfectly.
I was surprised to find Fairchild's Apple Cider Vinegar at our local Walmart.
