Hey, Lulu. I buy fresh green onions and plant them. They don't grow larger, but I always have the green tops to cut off some when I need onion in something. They regrow more green tops

[@evettabush3435]

Great idea❤

Two days ago I discovered your channel Lulu. It just showed up in my feed and boy oh boy I’m I glad and thankful. I absolutely love your content. I am 76 years old, recently diagnosed with lymphedema. And admittedly way overweight. So, you are going to be helping me Lulu.

I don't know why your channel popped up on my feed but it did and I've been following along for a couple weeks. I had my blood tested recently and got a call from the doc's office that I need to go in to have a talk because it seems my blood sugar and cholesteryl are high. Uh, oh. It really made me stop and take a look at what I'm eating and realized I need to make some changes, stat! So, I've been following your meal plan, more or less, I can't quite manage the volume of veg but that's okay. It's made me realize how much processed food, hidden sugars and way too much dessert, I was consuming. I've only been doing it for about a week and getting into the swing of it, I've lost a little weight and I feel better knowing I'm doing better. Hopefully the talk with doc will be that I just need to change my diet and I'm ahead of it. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful meals. It really is amazing what you can do with whole foods...and they are, in Lulu's words...delish!

[@adriannavanderpoll4745]

I eat two meals,a day and can also not manage the amount of food Lulu eats per plate, not the veg or the protein, but my tummy is happy, so it's all good. 😊

[@LulusWay64]

hello and welcome to my channel!! I'm happy to hear that you've been shook by that news. some would ignore it because it's too hard to face. but you are facing it!! go enjoy those delish whole foods, they will serve your body well!! I'm glad you are here! Lulu 😊

I saute my zoodles in a bit of olive oil lots of garlic, herbs and then some sauce 😀

[@user-js4xl9nv8r]

Gosh Lulu, this is your new subscriber, Heather, from Ontario, Canada. I could taste every mouthful, off my screen. It didn't bother me that the zucchini didn't turn out the way you wanted. I eat, what is cooked, especially if I stood at the stove, preparing it. As a Crohn's patient, I could eat all of that,perhaps, not too much oil. Thanks for being so natural. Take care.❤

[@kayecastleman6353]

What a great recipe, Lulu! I love italian food... and Greek food... and Indian food... and Chinese food, etc., etc. I've also taken to substituting a vegetable like zucchini or spaghetti squash for pasta. And yes, yellow potatoes and thighs are FAVES! Thanks for including the herbs in your daughter's mix. I can taste your meal right through the screen, and my mouth is watering!

Love watching your grocery hauls and seeing what you put together foodwise. I'm supercurious what you will do with frozen artichoke hearts. As for the canned Artichoke Hearts, do you just include those in your Big A$$ Salad?

[@LulusWay64]

hello!! I just defrost them and use them in salads or even combined with cooked mix veggies. what I like better about the frozen ones opposed to the canned ones is they are not water logged. the canned ones are delish too, but the frozen ones have a more fresh feel. if that makes sense!! 😊

[@bonriver9420]

So glad that you posted this video. I love it when you show us your recipes and how long you cook each item. Your meal looked so delicious. i definitely want to try that one.

[@flyinhawaiian7226]

U are such an aMaZiNG cook!! I love Zucchini and cook them practically every day. I spiral them and lightly sauté them in olive oil and garlic. I gotta go down and purchase an instant pot. Thank you for all you do to bring veggies back into people's lives.

hello!! yes, the instant pot is a wonderful gadget, just DON'T put zucchini noodles in it! LOL

[@gapeach51170]

I love figs. Growing up one of my good friends had one a fig tree in their back yard and they didn't eat them. I would load up on them. I never see them in my local grocery stores.

[@LulusWay64]

imagine they never ate them! WOW!! they are sooooo good!! I went to WF today and they had the green ones but not the black ones. I didn't get them. 😊

[@waldfrauke]

Suggestion: Just use the zucchini pasta raw and heat up the tomato sauce with some of those spices instead. You can eat zucchini raw. Also, plant arugula in your garden. It grows like a weed and needs no special attention. Love your singing 😊

[@wandazieker7981]

I enjoy spiralized zucchini often. After spiralizing, I put the zoodles in a collander over a bowl and toss them in a little bit of salt - about 1/2 teaspoon for 4-5 zucchini. I cover that with a plate and let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes to drain. Love this raw or heated briefly - a minute or so - in sauce. Keeps well several days.

Lulu, are you doing intermittent fasting as well? when do you have your 1st and your last meal of the day? I am so inspired by your lifestyle.

[@LulusWay64]

hi Corina!! no, I do not do intermittent fasting. I eat breakfast around 6-7am, lunch at noon, dinner at 5:00. I do realize that fasting has its benefits but that brings me back to my starving-myself days and there is absolutely no reason for me to go there. just three meals a day, never a bite of anything in between, I'm hungry for each meal because I'm not grazing. and I maintain my weight just wonderfully and peaceably! 😊

[@gailathomas5218]

I know you are supposed to put water in the instant pot. But, since zucchini is so watery itself, maybe you don’t need to add the extra water? Or, you could add the water but put a strainer in the bottom of the pot so the moisture in the zucchini would drip off and the zucchini would not sit in the water.

[@ruthie2222]

Not sure if you knew this or not Lulu but in Japan the island / area of Okinawa has the most number of individuals over 100 living their life in full vitality - out of the 100,000 people that live there there are 68 centenarians - more than 3 times the number in the USA. Okinawans have less cancer, heart disease and dementia than Americans, and women there live longer than any women on the planet. So i was watching a documentary on health / age etc and the Japanese sweet potato is the cornerstone of their traditional diet - it seems you are on to something 😊

[@fip1944]

Im pleased you posted the video, you know sometimes "fails" are good! Thats real life!! Im surprised how many carbs you eat, patatoes, sweet potatoes and rice. I guess it balances out the meal more...Im very aware that carbs convert to sugar. Purhaps if i ate more carbs I wouldnt crave sugar so much!!! And they do say woman in there 60's do need carbs!

[@LulusWay64]

I have a carb with each of my three meals, every day. but the majority of my meal is veggies. it's not carbs that are our enemy, it's too many carbs and the wrong kind. stick with limited amounts and be sure they are complex carbs, not simple carbs!! 😊

[@nancyciampa3485]

Hi, Lulu, I (kind of) 'met' you at the right time… I’m diagnosed with Diabetes and really struggling with losing weight. We’ve a small garden (2 big fig trees!! ), are vegetarians with a very small amount of fresh caught fish, I avoid sweets… I’ve no clue why this hit me. Maybe bread and I should avoid ALL sweets. Although I’m only a bit overweight my doctor advised me to lose weight. But that doesn’t happen. It’s not a lack of information, I know everything about weight watchers and other ways, but this weight seems almost glued to me. I’ll try your simple but tasty way of preparing food. I’m mostly attracted by your powerful and happy radiance… thanks for sharing. Love from Denmark, where were spending holidays and enjoy all the small private market stands in the country with fresh veggies, Monika❣

[@LulusWay64]

hello Monika!! eating clean will be your friend. and my powerful and happy radiance that you feel attracted to ALL begins with my food/fuel. I take good care of myself and I radiate. not only from the food itself, but from the joy I get from taking such good care of myself and making wise choices. you can have this too!! 😊

Hi Lulu…that meal looked so yummy. I agree with you on the little golden potatoes. They are the best! I’ve even started using them in my stews or when I do a roast with potatoes and carrots, I use the little golden potatoes…..they don’t get overcooked or mushy how the russets do. I usually don’t even cut them in half. When I was younger, a cousin of mine had a pressure cooker explode on him! We were at our annual family reunion in PA….anyway, he was making corn chowder in the pressure cooker. Thankfully there was a swimming pool behind him. He climbed that fence around the pool so fast and jumped in. The doctors told him if he hadn’t of done that, his burns and blisters would have been much worse. Of course he didn’t have a shirt on (Labor Day weekend, so still quite warm). Ever since then, I am so leary of pressure cookers/instapots. I cringe whenever I see people using them. By the way, he was using it correctly….

[@LulusWay64]

the pressure cookers from back in the day are different than the instant pot. I remember my mother's pressure cooker exploding one day. I don't think that happens with the Instant Pot. with any pressure in the pot, it's impossible for the cover to come off!!

Just curious. How do you cook the cauliflower rice? Do you use it as a base with all sorts of veggies on top? Thanks for the videos….always upbeat and pleasant to watch.

[@LulusWay64]

hello Heather!!! when I cook my cauliflower rice, I typically spread it out on a baking pan, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and bake it for a short time to cook it but not too mushy. I like to use it as a base with other veggies, but also to add my basmati rice to it and mix it up. it feels like an extra large serving of rice!! 😊

[@QuixLand]

I learned the hard way to not cook the zoodles. It does remove or cook the water out, making them soggy. What I do is either microwave just enough to warm them and then add the sauce. Or use the toaster oven or the air fryer to just crisp them up. They are better when they retain their moisture.(IMO),, jo

[@chucktrow8577]

Hi Lulu, what a great idea to use the canned sauce right on the zucchini. Next time you do noodles warm them in a fry pan it takes 2 or 3 minutes. I usually put them on some paper towels to rest and release the extra moisture, they are amazing that way. How is the string bean harvest this year? I keep waiting to see piles of string bean as a veggie side in your cooking videos. Hope to see you before your trip out west. ❤

I got a very very small harvest of green beans. I think next summer I'm going to stick around and have a well maintained veggie garden again!! this summer I just felt like not having the responsibility. but I'll be doing enough traveling between now and spring, that I will just settle into home here and garden again!! YAY!!!

For zucchini noodles I just lay them out on paper towels and add salt to draw out the water content and rinse and drain lay on paper towels again to dry then ready to add all other things. That’s my way hope it helps you to see if that works for you your dish looked amazing.😃

I love fresh figs. Never had them before a friend brought me some from Whole Foods. They were delish! Several different varieties. I enjoyed your prep and cooking and eating video. Was actually surprised how much the zucchini cooked down. Take care.

I learned a trick for canned chicken from Mary's Nest you tube...she said to rinse the chicken thoroughly in a colander...i tried it and it totally took away the 'can' taste!

[@LulusWay64]

hello!! I'll try that! I just opened the can and rinsed it off like you suggested and I'll be having it with dinner tonight, so we'll see how that goes! thanks for the tip!! 😊

[@sharonwolfe7705]

[@chellymccrillis4626]
