Good morning from Toronto! I am rewatching this video because I have watched ALL your videos and am now excitedly waiting for a new one . I just realized today that your little channel is growing quickly. I subscribed only two weeks ago when I came across your channel, and realized you are just wonderful! When I subscribed you had 8.53k subscribers and today Saturday, September 28th you have 8. 78k subscribers!! In just two weeks, people have realized what a gem you are. I wish you continued success with the channel and with your finances. All the best, Margaret

Hey Rechenda I need to ask something, what is “Hallumi? “ I don’t know how to spell it.. Dinner looked great😊 I hope you have a great week 🎉

[@earthlight2010]

@@miracecilieandresen6901 Here is a description from wikipedia: Halloumi or haloumi is a cheese that originated in Cyprus. It is made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes also cow's milk. Its texture is described as squeaky. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled, a property that makes it a popular meat substitute.

[@CeridwenEdwards-mu2rw]

You might find powdered coconut cream works out better. No waste as you only ever make the quantity you need so never have leftover coconut milk to use up. I usually buy the 1kg bags of Kara brand coconut cream powder which is just diluted with water when you need it and you can make either coconut cream or coconut milk with the same powder just changing how much water you add. Easily found online.

Never heard of this will look up!

Honestly, you are looking so much better. I’m definitely a fan of tinned lentils and beans, rinse the beans well before you use them though. Have you looked at Jack Monroe for good budget busting recipes? I know the olive oil is expensive, but it is a case of you get what you pay for, and it makes all the difference to a salad, and good for you. Take care xx

[@TheBudgetFoodie]

You’re looking a lot better! Curry looks fab; halloumi is a good sub for paneer. I’m very naughty and fry it first before adding it to my curry! Love chickpeas too; always tell myself I should buy dried ones and cook a huge batch then freeze them but end up buying tinned 😂

Tinned is the way!,:

Just an FYI. Only doing this today as we have been learning more about the harmful impact of seed oils. We buy A LOT of nuts from Lidl and we were interested to their ingredients. However when you Google the product it states it's cooked in vegetable oil. So Lidl are not transparent in their ingredients, only allergens Worth googling their products. Xx
