I absolutely love how straight-forward, no nonsense, fuss-free and just well put-together these videos are! So many healthy eating channels are preachy or loud. OR, they often call for "super food" ingredients that are hard to find or expensive. These videos are an excellent reminder that so many everyday, basic ingredients are all ready super. Thank you so much. I've subscribed - so glad I found this channel!

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Hi Gina! It's so great to have you here! I have to say that you got where I'm going with this channel, right to the bone. There's no need to make things complicated here, it's not about any super ingredients, but how to put it in action, and how to use simple recipes to develop healthier habits, starting from today. Thanks for this amazing feedback! Take care!

[@ianoliver3879]

Absolutely. Clean, tidy, nothing there that shouldn't be there. In particular, no ugly, badly-lit idiot in a back-to-front hat who addresses me, and refers to himself in the plural.

[@garlicgirl3149]

OH yes! Especially the loud part. Sheesh, I can hear you!

[@hortensejones4050]

Can/how may I bake instead of fry these? I’d do a oaf if necessary Need to skip the oil also simplify/streamline cause of my health (confusion issues pls) thank you so much!👍👍💕👍😊

I had gastric bypass surgery and these are perfect in every way, from protein content to the addition of vegetables and healthy fats, not to mention portion size and ease of making. Perfect for me to take to work. Thanks!

Wow, I love the demo on what too much heat results in and just the right heat... as well the attention to detail on the thickness of the pattie... and lastly sauces to kick it up. Thanks so much

Thanks for checking it out Loril! So glad you liked the video.

[@saryarohit2925]

Hey there! Loved this video. I am gonna switch out the oats for parmesan cheese or grate a bit of normal cheddar cheese in there as I am in a low carb/keto lifestyle. Just mentioning this for anyone else who may be reading in the comments section! Gonna add some more spices to mine, but thanks a million for explaining your technique. All the best!
