Glad you're back Melissa!

Thank you!! I am happy to be back. I missed it.

I love potatoes. My favorite are the red ones. Carrots are also a good price. I cook beans often. I also like oatmeal with frozen fruit. All of these are my favorite foods!! 😋

[@melissaalexandria01]

Yes, red potatoes are really good, as well! Haven’t had them in a while.

I've never cooked lentils in my rice cooker! I'm going to give it a try! Thanks for the video, Melissa!

[@melissaalexandria01]

Super easy! Experiment with the amount of water until they come out exactly as you like them. :)

How do you approach cooking/eating with your husband and toddler?

[@melissaalexandria01]

They eat similarly to me. But my husband also cooks his own food too if he’s having something I don’t eat. He eats eggs & fish, I don’t.

[@frgrl3205]

Hi Melissa. Do you cook green lentils in the rice cooker? Or the red lentils? Thanks!

[@melissaalexandria01]

Both! I use 1 cup lentils with 2.5 cups water.

[@sandypluss5017]

I'm wondering if that rice cooker you have also cooks brown rice?

[@melissaalexandria01]

Yes, I also cook lentils, barley and oatmeal in this rice cooker.

[@sandypluss5017]

@@melissaalexandria01 wow great, sounds very versatile. Might get one as my current rice cooker lid is broken and I've been trying to fudge through with it but seems it's time to replace it!

[@m.bishop4217]

Can you please tell me the name of your rice cooker? I know you shared it once a while back. Thank you.

[@melissaalexandria01]

I just linked the exact one I use in the description.
