THANK YOU ❗️

[@TheBottoms41]

Hey guys! My daughter is disabled and has always helped me in the kitchen when i ask but after shes been watching all your videos she's actually getting in there and designing her own creations!! I thank you all so much for bringing her to the kitchen! Its so good for her mental health. Please consider a garlic press for her? Her name is Ally. Love and Light!

[@MDV_Ghost]

She seems pretty able to me 🤷🏽‍♂️ the biggest disability in life is a poor mindset. Keep encouraging her to do what she loves/ what makes her happy. Obviously help her if she’s struggling or doing something unsafe but allow her to be as independent as possible and let her thrive!

[@TheBottoms41]

@@MDV_Ghost Ally has severe epilepsy and never knows when a life threatening seizure will strike. :( you can say she sounds pretty able and sometimes she is, but others her muscles are so tight all day she cannot funtion, thank you for your comment

[@cristhomson9043]

To Sam and the crew, I got my prizes today and they are both great!! That knife will cut anything and the garlic press is from Switzerland, light weight and killing the garlic. Thanks again, it is truly appreciated. Now I’m going to make these tacos tonight.

I just told my husband about these tacos. I will be making them very soon! Thanks for another great video.

[@Bwood0626]

Sam, I'd just like to say, as a paramedic in NYC your channel helped entertain me during the height of quarantine when I had to keep myself from my family to prevent them from getting covid. While I locked myself in a bedroom, I binged your channel to keep me entertained and it really helped keep me sane and it improved my cooking abilities at the same time. I know you worked very hard to get where you are and it was well deserved. Keep up the great work

[@SuzanneBaruch]

I just made these the other day with some roasted Hatch chilis, a really nice home made pico and a sour cream/lime/smashed avocado sauce on top. Mind blowing.

[@jacko2049]

Dammmmm lady Are you married 😘 Just kidding 😂lol

[@RedRat98074]

That would taste great!!! Good thought.

[@thetacotrainer8466]

Thats the way to do it Suzanne! Nothing like hatch chiles, avocado and sour cream together. Mouth is watering

Love making my own shells! I like to cook them maybe halfway when the just START getting a little crunch but also have a great chew to them. Love it! Also bought some corn flour and made them from scratch after seeing you video on that a few weeks ago.

[@SkepNick]

I've steadily lost 22 pounds just from watching your show and cooking my own meals. You guys inspired me and I'm gonna keep going!! 💛

@@dustyoldhat honestly just cutting out a lot of processed foods. Eating the stuff I prepare myself in smaller portions, and only having the really fat heavy stuff for lunch to burn off through the day while eating healthier homemade stuff that Sam's made for other meals. Smaller portions and excerise has been key for sure.
