[@cynthiacurl4599]

I am so grateful to find your channel! I'll be 65 in a few months and have struggled all my life to make healthy meals for myself. I do not like to cook, so I have bought food that says it healthy, but are full of carbs. I'm learning how easy it is to cook healthy for one person! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Cynthia

[@RobD1]

You miss on a lot of points that are important, like how many minutes did you air fry the chicken and on other videos also you dont tell us the exact measurements of seasonings you use. Otherwise good but llease in future vids be very specific on the measurements for the dishes you make! Thanks

[@rararara7009]

That is such a great lower calorie idea. Can you do some more of these because I was thinking heavy cream will add so many calories. Thank you, Myra

[@LowCarbLove]

Of course! 😊

[@pjmiller8632]

But heavy cream isn't high in calories, so this is already a great recipe!

[@Seaweedscout]

@@pjmiller8632It’s 51 calories per tablespoon. That is pretty high for a lot of people, especially sedentary that can’t or don’t work out that really can only eat 1,300ish calories without working out. Plus, some people can’t do lactose or high fats without tearing up their stomach for different medical reasons and don’t know how/what to substitute. It’s all subjective since everyone is so different.

[@carlabestor6159]

This looks amazing, I cannot wait to make this for the family. Thank you so much for this recipe.

[@ewellford]

For a lower carb/lower calorie, Alfedo sauce, blend 1.5 cups of cottage cheese with 0.5 cups of Parmigiano Regiano or Pecorino Romano and 0.5 cups milk of your choice. Naturally, you'll want full fat cottage cheese if you're Keto/ Carnivore and low fat or non fat cottage cheese. If you are low calorie.

[@PamelaOrtiz1967]

I make a broccoli chicken Alfredo but i use skim milk, greek yogurt, shredded or ground Parmesan and a slice of baby Swiss cheese. I use corn starch to thicken the sauce ( of course seasonings, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder) The greek yogurt makes it super creamy and the parm and swiss cheeses make it very Alfredo-y. Im sure you can sub out skim with the almond milk. Im personally not a fan of almond milk. But i use a small head of broccoli, 2 chicken breasts, par roasted for 17 mins. Then I i shredd the chicken, break up thr broccoli into florets then pour the sauce over and bake it @350 for 20 minutes. Perfect 😋

[@jennyb270]

Thanks. I was searching through comments to find alternatives. This is good 😊

[@SugaRaeMoonPie]

I love the almond milk blended with alfredo! All veggies are carbs but not all veggies are created the same in carb quality. There are complex carbs and simple carbs, and folks interested in eating lifestyle changes to promote weight loss would benefit by educating themselves on the difference, as well as the differences in our body's digestive process for complex vs simple carbs, and how our body then uses them for fuel vs fat storage.

[@stacypampuch396]

Mayra - I’ve recently discovered your channel and really appreciate your whole food approach! What you said about veg carbs as preferred carbs is spot on. That approach worked well for me in the past. I’m recommitting to that eating style to battle my meno weight gain, as I’m also concerned about A1C levels due to heredity. I expect a slow go but with real foods I feel it’s way more sustainable. Happy new year, more videos like this, please! 🎉🥂

[@barbarab9445]

This is a fantastic recipe. I just made it. It's so delicious. Mayra, you may want to include more information in your blog recipe. I watched the video a few days ago, but I made the recipe from a printout on your blog. On the blog recipe, it doesn't say what size jar of sauce to use, what size casserole dish, or how many servings the recipe makes. From re-watching the video, I see that it is a 15 oz. jar and that I should have used a smaller casserole dish, although it did come out fine anyway. Also, is the amount of broccoli correct on the blog recipe? I used the whole 12 oz. bag that you showed in the video, but the recipe said 1.5 cups, which isn't much. In my larger 10x16 dish it took 25-30 minutes rather than 15. I'm not sure why, as it was more spread out than yours, but that's how long it took. All in all, it was so yummy, and I'll try more of your recipes. Thanks for all your great recipes.

[@zarinnakobel596]

I’ve made your brownies and I’m going to make this tomorrow! Your recipe says a jar of the sauce and 1/2 cup of almond milk. Should I just use one cup sauce to 1/2 cup milk? Thanks for all you do!🙏🏼💜

[@MoMo-im5jc]

What did you decide!? I was confused on this too

[@zarinnakobel596]

@@MoMo-im5jc I ended up using only 1 cup of sauce to a 1/2 cup of almond milk and it was pretty runny. It tasted great but I think next time I will end up only using 1/4 cup of almond milk added to 1 cup of sauce so that it remains creamier. I used the same jarred sauce she used in the video.

I can't wait until they wrap up the Ashley and Jordan storylines🤪I wish they would've shown the captives instead of some of these exchanges with characters that we've had to watch. That would make it more exciting, I think. Nikki really should've been admitted to an alcohol detox program after she had gone to the ER. Another drawn out story. How many chances have they gotten to eliminate Jordan? I hope they're not going by the idea of "9 lives".🤦🏻‍♀️It seems so unrealistic her escaping the authorities at least twice and she's got money stashed somewhere?🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm betting "Dave" had to have helped carry Claire out because if they try to convince us Jordan carried Claire and Harrison out of the second story of the Abbott house that'll just be ridiculous. Lily just needs to hand over Daniel that game then he and the entire fam can fly south. Lily seems to have taken over Devon's attitude that he's had and not that she doesn't have every right to burn them to the ground but she did fire them so send them packing.👋
