    Nice and simple recipe, one thing I will definitely recommend is always bake the bottom crust layer first in the oven while you're making the filling! Otherwise it just tends to sort of end up soggy on the bottom crust layer

    That’s actually not too bad of a price for meat though…especially if you can make it stretch for two months. Meat is expensive nowadays. Is there shipping on ButcherBox?

    Hello, I hope you are fit and fine. I saw your KZread channel . Your channel and video content are very good. Also, the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: 1. KZread video SEO score is very low. 2. Not title - description - tag are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms As a result views, likes and subscribers are not increasing. Benefits of 100% SEO score: 1. Views will increasing 2. Likes will increasing 3. Comments will increasing 4. Subscribes will increasing 5. Viewing time will be increasing 6. Audience will increasing So, If you want your channel to increase subscribers, views, likes, and comments with proper video SEO, Google Ads and monetization. It will be your right decision. Do you want to increase your channel with perfect SEO and Optimization? I’m waiting for your response. Thank you.

    The trick is to give him two options at a time, both nutritional. Illusion of choice, I guess!

    I think it’s a good idea to let kids be involved in the process. We talk about the importance of protein and vegetables. And I think doing this will help them make better choices on their own and be more open to trying new things if it’s their idea. It’s hard to show in a 1 minute clip but he picked a good protein with some fat and two vegetables. Baked carrots and homemade gnocchi (hard pairing potatoes and tomato sauce) All things considered I think it’s pretty balanced.

    we are a family of three as well, I normally spend $275/week. I saw a well rounded mix of convenience and fresh veggies, but my big question would be, what about meat? I know you eat meat because i saw meatballs and pepperoni and sausage, but like why didn't you buy any chicken or ground beef?

  • @colleenschofield2050

    I tend to do a big meat stock up at Costco or butcherbox once quarter. But if I see a good sale I’ll stock up. We are working through our freezer to clean it out so we haven’t bought much lately. Come April we’ll have to do a big meat shopping trip.

    If you cook your meat at a higher temperature, the oil and excess moisture will evaporate off and you’ll caramelise the meat more and get a better flavour
