young lady I have been a red seal chef for almost 40 years now and you ma'am have more spices than have ever seen in any professional kitchen.. that is an impressive collection.. just remember they go stale eventually so use them up and replace often

Looks very good. Hint: when cutting the onions put a wet paper towel next to the onions while cutting. I saw this trick on Pinterest and “no more tears”.

I actually use sweet onions and they don’t make my eyes burn. Our Instacart person a few weeks ago got yellow onions and omg I was burning. So the sweet onion definitely have something different that doesn’t make me cry at least

The salmon salad should be fine for soft foods ! Just don’t add the jalapeño since you don’t know how your stomach handles spicy food 💕

Everything looks so good. I’m definitely gonna try one. 😍💜

The best broccoli recipes are broccoli tossed with avocado oil and sprinkled with pepper and squeeze a quarter lemon. The other is toss with avocado oil and a little toasted sesame oil, sprinkle with pepper. Roast in the oven.

this right here is gold!! thank you. I will defintely do that salmon dish. As much as i love spicy ive been having so much heartburn since surgery so i think i might skip the jalapenos

I season my peppers or marinate them in a vinaigrette or sauce. To give them flavor with my meal

I literally just add them to make the food look colorful lol I don’t even bother trying to make them bring any flavor 😂

Tip 4 onion eyes put ur head in the freezer, it works in the fridge too but the freezer is like instant

The red and yellow ones don’t really add much flavor, but are a little sweet. I think the green ones add a nice enhancement to the flavor of meals.

Salmon look good and so yummy so I will be trying

i’m only 5 weeks post op vsg, i don’t think i’m allowed to use seasoning yet but your food looks amazing’ i’ll use some of these recipes once i’m on normal foods diet

I just love you . Your so beautiful and have been giving me life and my inspiration. I’m 2 and half months out . I feel like I’ve been eating to much . Did your weight go up and down around this 2 months

Try putting a small amount of lemon juice on your cutting board before cutting your onions.

Omg bell peppers are so good ! Roasted is best but with potato how you did they are so flavorful! 😂 our taste buds are wild how they differ

Love to know what spices you use on salmon and chicken

I thought I was the only one 🤣🤣🤣. Peppers dnt add or take away from the food.

Definitely ! Still nothing close to what I ate before but for reference if I wanted to I could eat and entire slice of pizza now vs when I was like 5 months out I could barely eat half .

Bell peppers def have a taste, esp when you don't like them 😣

I don’t count calories , for me it feels like falling back into toxic habits . I know I don’t eat enough of anything to gain weight . So I just focus on sticking to my portion sizes and keeping most ( not all ) meals pretty healthy.
