GETTING READY FOR WORK & TAKING A MINUTE TO EXPLORE

[@CatMom4704]

I love local grocery stores. When I used to travel I would always check out the different grocery stores all over the world.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I would love to shop stores in other countries. 👍 such an adventure.

[@htas6888]

me too, in the US too, it is interesting that certain food items are not carried by stores all over the US, I found cans of lard offered in stores in one state that I never saw in California, Oregon or Washington, though I should not be so quick to tell, I haven't seen every market in these states either :)

[@patpeters6331]

Whatever videos that you have time to post works for me because they're always interesting. We can wait for you to settle into your job and routine for budget meals. I doubt that your loyal subscribers are going anywhere. Suggestion, Do you check out the clearance sections at the stores? I have been able to try new and different items from the clearance sections. It's a cheaper and fun way to try foods that I may never have thought of.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I appreciate that you will watch any of my videos 💜 I actually SHOULD be checking the clearance sections of the stores more. Especially at places like Ralphs ( owned by Kroger's). My Walmart never has much in their clearance section and I don't think Wholesome Choice has a clearance section but I do occasionally stop by Ralphs. Plus it might be a good idea for a video. Buying nothing but clearance items....or maybe making a meal from nothing but clearance items 😂

[@hayleymccall904]

@@ArdentMichelleyessss! The idea for a clearance only shopping haul and meal or meals from those items is brilliant ❤

[@margaretwhiting3073]

I wait all week for Sunday so I can see what you find and create. I wish I could put meals together like you do! All your meals look like they came from a fancy restaurant because you can style the plate with care.( Well, every video is made with care!) You make me brave enough to step out of routine and just try one new thing every other week when I shop. Thank you for being helpful and AWESOME!

[@ArdentMichelle]

awe..thanks so much for this 💜 It makes me so happy!

[@patpeters6331]

I am impressed with your lunches. When I worked I only ever took was half a sandwich that I ate at my desk then went out and about at lunchtime. I was in a high stress job and getting out at lunchtime was how I kept my sanity and my job. I needed the fresh air, even in the worst of winter days. So kudos to you and your lovely lunches.

[@ArdentMichelle]

So far for me my favorite lunch is soups...the building I work in is freezing so the hot soup is most enjoyable.

[@patpeters6331]

​​@@ArdentMichelleI am sorry to hear that. If I can make a suggestion, Dr. Scholl's makes shoe inserts that have an aluminum topcoat that helps to keep your feet warm. I always sat next to huge windows and was always so cold, especially during the height of our midwest winters. The shoe inserts really made a difference. They fit quite nicely in high heels too.

I hope you settle into your job soon. The food looks delicious! Enjoy eating them all. @ArdentMichelle

[@jacki6301]

You are so lucky to have a Persian market! The prices are phenomenal. The halva you just picked up would be $12.00 here. We eat it with a cup of hot tea. The barberries ( Zereshk Polo) are one of my favorite items to add a little to rice. We eat it with chicken. The vegetable prices are great too. If you have time, look for a Now Ruz celebration in your area around the 20th of March. It is so much fun.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I have it on my bucket list to try making some of the Persian rice dishes. I haven't shared that part of the market yet, but they make some amazing looking hot dishes that I would like to recreate and I believe Zereshk Polo is one of them. I can definitely see how the halva would be good with tea. Thanks for helping me with these items. I love learning all this. I'll set my calendar to check the market on March 20th

[@luckaty]

We have a jujube tree, in south Louisiana, I make apple butter with them and it’s delicious fresh also. When fresh they’re much like a green apples in color and turn brown when ripe, the browner they re the sweeter they get, I like mine speckled with brown on a green background.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I would love to have one of these trees. Apple butter sounds so good 😋 yum!

[@kj7653]

Wow. That broccoli is an excellent price.

[@ArdentMichelle]

They have LOTS of rotating deals on fresh veggies. Love that place. I think they must get deals on these items

[@jessguzman7676]

Maybe cut the radish in slices it will look so cute and will look nicer.. thin slices. It’s just something about thin slices of radish

[@ArdentMichelle]

I love the thin radish slices on my avocado toast, but when I'm eating them in my lunch I like to bit into a whole one for the crunch.

Only food rule, if it taste good eat it🎉. I think it was Andrew Zimmerman that said it.

[@npflaum]

We have a Persian market on nearly every block in my area. I think I should start exploring them

[@ArdentMichelle]

I think you should too! Then you can tell me if there is something I need to look for.

[@chrisharmon5453]

I am starting a new job next Monday and I am nervous about how I’m going to feed myself because of my food allergies and my job will be split between office and fieldwork. You’ve given me some ideas for my days that I am in the field. Thank you.

[@ArdentMichelle]

Hello 😁 and good luck with the new job. Starting a new job is so stressful. 😳Another idea coming in next weeks video. As for lunches, I've been loving eating soups. I find that I can heat the soup to boiling and put it in my preheated container and it's still hot at lunch, which is 5 hours later. I'm mixing the soup up enough that I don't get tired of it....and a huge bonus is that it's super cheap.

[@beckyw9000]

Thank you for continuing to post even though you are busy at work. I love lunch packing inspiration! I look forward to the ranch tahini in the future! Glad you got to treat yourself! Have a great week!

[@ArdentMichelle]

and thank you for continuing to support me by watching my videos 💜 I'm anxious to get back to the extreme budget content because I have a lot of viewers that are helped by those, but it WAS fun to take a couple weeks and kind of have some fun doing things that I've wanted to do.

[@ahhhlindsanityyy]

Halva is great crumbled up into chunks and baked into brownies 😊 that bread looks amazing!

[@SNK75719]

I love tahini as the base for dressing/sauces. Lots of recipes on the internet, especially in combination with garlic and lemon (and often soy/tamari/aminos)- with water whisked in to make it pourable. It gets thick at first,but after slow addition of the water, ends up creamy., I see it used in a lot of vegan cooking as a dressing or to make soups more creamy.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I plan to play around with this in the very near future. So far, I've made some salad dressings with it.

[@Mejlynne]

If you have regular tahini you can season it yourself. My husband’s favorite is adding some white vinegar, red pepper flakes and water. He loves eating that with rotisserie chicken and veggies. I personally don’t like the tahini with pistachios (halva) either. I think it’s an acquired taste.

[@ArdentMichelle]

so far I've made salad dressing with the tahini but I plan to do much more. I've been finding that even with water and vinegar it can still easily be a little too heavy for me. My son loved the dressing I made though. I think I just need to experiment.

[@empresswb641]

That TJ balsamic glaze is amazing!!!!

[@amorous_critic]

As Lebanese people we eat the Halva all the time. It’s definitely a dessert and you eat it just as you were in a small chunk. It’s just for special occasion for us!

[@ArdentMichelle]

thanks for sharing this info 😁

[@htas6888]

Helva is a desert :) I love it because it is filling, and we ate it w bread too. So you weren't so far off. Maybe you should give it a try as a snack when you are hungry. A lot better for you than a candy bar but I don't think you eat candy much. There are version of it w chocolate and plain. I love sesame seeds in various versions too.

[@ArdentMichelle]

yeah...I think the packaging threw me off 😂 If it would have been sold in a bar, I would have been in a different frame of mind. I do occasionally like sweets, but I'm mostly a salty snack kind of person. I'm not giving up on halva. I would like to try another one. I think they might sell pieces at the bakery. I'm going to check next time I'm there.

[@htas6888]

@@ArdentMichelle it is interesting, it is mostly sesame seed paste and sugar, but there is one more ingredient in there that we are not familiar with over here. it is soapwort that gives it its texture... I am from Turkiye, grew up in Istanbul and we used to have helvah a few times a year as a treat and for some reason it was always paired w a fish dinner, it was a treat afterwards and we could eat it w some bread to tone down the sweetness, if we choose :)

Your food/cooking videos are always so full of fun and different ideas. My mom was such a good cook and I feel I didn't inherit that cooking gene, LOL. I try though 😅 sometimes....

[@ArdentMichelle]

It takes stepping out of your comfort zone a bit. I've always had a busy work /life schedule and not much time for cooking. I've discovered so much these past few years though. I feel I was missing out before.

[@FrugalPants]

I look forward to Sundays and what you will post. Last week, i happened to be by While Foods and I had to buy black lentils (it's 40 mins from me now and I haven't cooked them yet.) I love learning about all the foods you find and how you use them! I talk about you way to much on my little channel 😂😂 And it makes me miss CA so much with all these amazing shops.

[@Laguns-ij4hn]

[@mascha9266]

The item with pistachios is a dessert or snack. It is halva which is made with sesame seeds and sweetener. It doesn't spread nor do you melt it. I like it but I guess it's an acquired taste. Also comes in chocolate.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I would like to try some other varieties of halva too.

[@thelullinthestorm]

I think of halva almost like divinity - the non-chocolate sweet bars at the holidays. It’s not for me either but it can be pretty in a display case with the different swirled flavors. I’ve never seen it in a tub like that. Congrats on your new job! Thanks for taking us along on your celebratory shop

How exciting ! Thank you for taking us on your market trip . You've shown a number of items today I've not even heard of😮. I have made Tahdig before . It's a Persian rice dish. Didnt know if you've had it yet. Love the containers , lunch boxes and little cubbyholes for food😊.

[@betterlivingonabudget]

This was really interesting, thanks for reviewing all of the unusual items! I've never heard of most of them. The jujubes look like a shriveled old apple, lol. The Bento box is gorgeous. The Japanese culture brings use some of the most elegant yet useful items I've ever seen. One of my favorite food channels is Tish Wonders, and she uses Tahini a lot in various ways, one of which is a Tahini yogurt sauce she spoons over her food or as a base under food. I love the lunchbox you snagged at Ross - what a great price on that!

Glad you enjoyed this video since it was a little different. 😁

[@nanny8675309]

I am always excited for your videos but I am especially excited for the upcoming ones where you make a hummus with tahini and you try and make your own tahini because I’ve always been intimidated by that. I also can’t wait to hear how your ranch tahini is, a tip I learned from a vegan chef that did a presentation at a festival is the key to a good ranch dressing is using onion and garlic powder because when you use the two fresh it’s just not like hidden Valley😆 Thanks for another great video!

[@ArdentMichelle]

Glad you're looking forward to my upcoming content. 😁

[@wnynyn]

We eat jujubes a lot in our Chinese diet. I mostly cook them for desserts. Red beans, jujubes and white ear mushroom soup is a very common winter time dessert. I make various kind of rice cake and stuffed sweet rice cake with them too. I also add them to savory meat dishes to add a slight touch of sweetness. Just two or three in the pot.

[@ArdentMichelle]

Are you using them from fresh or dried jujubes? That so interesting about the red beans, jujube and white ear mushroom dessert. Beans in dessert is somewhat foreign to us here in the U.S. although I'm familiar because of some bakeries near me that feature desserts with red bean paste.

[@barbarabruce7648]

Oh Michele I laughed and was screaming at you when you were about to dip the bread in the halva. I thought you were joking. Did you not look at the ingredient list to know it was going to be a sweet dessert? I love it! Also crazy weird how I just bought some dried jujube stuffed with walnut. I was being adventurous not having a clue what it was. Yum yum yum. And it's good for us. Wow. Fun video. Good luck with the new job.

[@ArdentMichelle]

Because of the tub it was in, I expected it to be smooth. 😂If it would have been in a bar form, I would have thought dessert. I'm definitely buying more jujubes. I haven't seen any stuffed ones yet. One of my viewers said she had a jujube tree and eats them all the time like apples.

Hi Charlotte 😁 I love the food container I got there. So far it's been my favorite purchase. The building I work in is so cold, so I've been loving bringing soups every day. I'm looking forward to getting a regular schedule at work after training is over but that won't be for another couple months. So far it's going great though. I love all the discount stores...Ross, TJ Max, 99 cent store, Dollar Tree, Daiso, etc. There are a ton of stores in Western Washington but I don't know if there are any near you.

Happy day Michelle. Seems you’re doing well at the new job. What an interesting store. I like hummus and use it as a mayo substitute and veggie dip.

Hi Victoria 😁 I'm so sorry about your dog. 🥲 I know how devastating that can be.

[@Rbcook628]

one of my favorite recipes to make is similar to your tahini and bread! Mediterranean "pizzas" using hummus or tahini. tomato slices, leafy green like spinach, chard, whatever. feta, greek olives, a drizzle of oil, whatever fresh herbs you can grow yourself, maybe a little red pepper flakes! Use old French bread, naan, pita, or make your own dough :) of course they can be churched up with pine nuts, zucchini etc. it's really one of those "what the hell do I have in my pantry/fridge right now?". The tahini is the GLUE. awesome video!

[@ArdentMichelle]

wow...this sounds amazing! 😋

[@dianalund587]

I love Halva and I eat it as candy. Cut it into small pieces and eat it as is. I think the tahini is what through you off as to what it was and how to use it. Halva also comes in many flavors and most do not mention so prominently on the label.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I think you're right. It was hard to recover once I was expecting something savory and creamy. I'm willing to try other versions of halva. They actually have a bakery at that store. I might see if they have options to buy one piece.

Lol. I am always surprised when your videos seem to intersect with my life. My friend has been sending me pictures of the fruits and veggies that she's been dehydrating. Didn't realize that she had a dehydrator. So much cheaper than buying dehydrated items at the store. She made apples, oranges, strawberries, zucchini and mushrooms. I am a bit jelly and wondering if I should invest in a dehydrator myself. 😋

[@ArdentMichelle]

I've been thinking the same thing about the dehydrator. I wonder if TEMU has one. It was so funny because my son just ordered a bunch of items from them (clothes and a few gag gifts) and we were laughing because they were so inexpensive that we thought there was no way the stuff would be good. He ordered a coat for $9 and pants for $5. Well the coat is VERY nice and the pants are too! I think one of the shirts he ordered was the wrong size, but overall it was kind of shocking how good the quality was for so cheap. I also noticed H Mart had a dehydrator but I think it was $30 or $40. I still have to save money. I've had my fun 2 weeks....now I have to get back to saving 😂

@ArdentMichelle I haven't seen the spicy one before, either, but it looked delicious. Halwa comes in lots of flavours, but chocolate and pistachio are probably the most common.
