I love your prep videos! Here's a tip for you. Frozen empty lemon halves are much easier to zest than room temperature ones so I always keep a few tucked away in an airtight container in my freezer. Hope that helps!

If you smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a big knife, it crushes them just a bit and the peels come off so much easier! So nice having a full freezer!

What a productive day! A little tip on the fajita meat, if you drizzle a bit of avocado oil on the meat, it helps to evenly distribute the seasonings. The bonus is you don't have to oil the skillet when you go to cook everything.

Adaline, you make EVERYTHING look so effortless! It’s quite remarkable how much you can get done in your cozy kitchen! LOVE these recipes. I appreciated how you separated the chicken from the orange sauce. You can make so many different sauces to use with the chicken. I am going to batch cook a lot of chicken that way. The possibilities are endless. Sesame, teriyaki, general Tao, peanut sauces just to name a few. I can’t believe I’m so excited lol. Never thought of preparing fajitas ahead like that. What a great idea. Your baked goods were very appealing. You could drizzle some of the lemon glaze over the strawberry muffins. So yummy.

Always zest lemon's, orange's and limes then squeeze the juice out. Any left over juice put in ice cubs and freeze and store in zip lock bags. Left over zest can be wrapped flat like a envelope in baking paper ( parchment paper) and frozen sealed in a zip lock bag.

This is the first time I have watched your channel, and honestly, I almost turned you off once you started putting each individual piece of chicken into the pan, individually, using a fork. What the heck!? That, to me,, indicated extreme inefficiency. Just dump in a little at a time, and smooth around the pan! That way, the first and last piece go in at the same time and cook evenly. As you did it, the first in cooks about 2 minutes longer! And finally you did that! Also, that you were going to make three separate batches of sauce to ensure you got the same amount in each bag. Why not just make it all at once and measure equal amounts into each bag? I did persevere. Your food looked very good. Thank you.
