All great meal ideas! 😊 What kind of Salami do you or your other viewers recommend? I've only eaten Salami in Rouladen a few times, and I seldom. eat these types of meat. But I would like to try a good quality Salami. Thank you! 😊

Hello, Thank you for the question. To be honest I don’t know the name as a friend of mine bought from Costco, she has a membership. There were 3 different pieces around $18.00. It is a good deal. I will ask my friend as I threw away the label. ❤️💐

I buy on special small peace of cheese and slice it using vegetable peeler goes such a long way

[@Frugalpleasuresinretirement]

Never tried the peeler on cheese, thank you for the tip.❤💐

[@ljstevens668]

Hello Vera. Your meals always look so delicious and healthy. Do you freeze the cheese squares and grated cheese? I love your selection of background music. Thanks for another great meal prep video. And of course, thank you for including your nature walks.

[@Frugalpleasuresinretirement]

Thank you, I enjoy cooking😊. I freeze only grated cheese, the cubes I keep in the fridge as a snack here and there. You see, I don’t have dinners, and if sometime I am hungry I just have some cheese or a cracker with spread, antipasto, etc. ❤️💐

Vera- love your channel! My Grandmother was Polish. Is that your nationality? The accent reminds me so much of hers!❤️

[@Frugalpleasuresinretirement]

Hello Julie, Thank you for your kind support. No, I am not Polish, I am from country called Moldova😊.

[@juliepoppe6294]

@ well that’s good! Love your accent! I will look up that. Keep up your fun content! I need to try some of your lunch/ dinner ideas! Plain American here- although my Grandmother/ Mother was Polish and my other side was of a blend.
