    I love how passionate Christopher is about how ingredients are used. He’s never just like hey use this ingredient this way because I said so he tells you I think you should use this ingredient and here’s why and it’s a totally sensible reason like the truffle oil being a finishing oil because the heat affects the flavor or the Barada being meant to be served at room temperature and once you heat it, you’re losing a lot of the creaminess that sets it apart from other cheeses like a mozzarella like it’s never just that’s the wrong way. It’s that way doesn’t make sense to me. Here’s what I would do and why and I love that.

    you could probably make a whole series where you make a recipe from like tik tok or whatever, and then after you and christopher taste it, he makes the recipe but with his own twist to see if it can be improved

      (Haven’t seen the chickpea video in question so not sure what he tried) howeverrr….. You can also spread them out on half of a kitchen towel on the counter. Fold the other half of the towel over the top of them and gently roll them between the towel under your hands. This doesn’t get them ALL off but significantly helps in saving time and your fingers!

    The thing I was most proud of is getting ahold of you and your husband via email lol. I was so shocked when he actually answered me 🤪 like I told him your channels have really blessed me and inspired me to start me own channel. I just reached my first milestone on here which I was so proud of too. I told your hubby I was starting a channel and asked him if he could give me any tips and he did, he gave me some great tips, but one of the three things he told me was set a goal for where I want the channel to be as far as “numbers” and so I did and I thought there was no way I was ever meeting that goal because on dec 30th I still wasn’t even close to meeting the goal I wanted to meet, but on December 30th I posted this one video that went partially viral and can you believe I not only met my goal but surpassed it and that all went down on December 31st!!: isn’t that awesome, It definitely made my heart smile and I have your channel and you and your husband to partially thank for that because if I hadn’t took your husband’s advice I probability would not have met my goal so thank you Rachel and Christopher God bless P.S I AM SORRY IF I SPELLED YOUR NAMES WRONG LOL😂

    Well done Christopher, seems like you got some great results out of your ideas!☺️
    I had an amazing year all around, my kids, my family, everyone is happy and healthy and I can’t be happier from that side!❤ but what I want to mention is that I took the biggest decision when it comes to my body and finally had a plastic surgery I thought about for years but always thought plastic surgeries are just so unnecessary, I have good body and it’s just silly thing nobody really see etc etc so it took me very long to actually do it. The reason I share all that (not that anyone will read it😂) is that I am now SO happy in my body, in my clothes, whenever I see myself in the mirror, it just filled me with so much happiness and confidence that if there is anybody like me,
    who think about having something done, if it something that really bothers you (YOU, nobody else!), do it! No matter what, if it makes you happier at the end, it’s worth it!!!!😊
    Happy New Year everyone ❤️

    I live in the Midwest and there are these tiny Amish stores. Every time we see them, I make my husband stop and we stock up on pickles, olives, jams, jellys (our fav kind is jalapeño) and of course, pickled beets. ❤

    I got married, on New Years Eve! It was thrown together last minute but I absolutely loved it!
