    Onions are supposed to be done before you dump everything else in, it makes it taste so much better! I’ve found that it saves me a lot of time to buy a bag of onions, chop them all and freeze. If i’m feeling super motivated I also brown them and those freeze amazingly as well! That’s my favorite cooking hack 👌

    So many great recipes! Super glad to see you posting again. As a side note, while I’m not interested in creating a RUclips channel, if this course is set up anything like your budget one, I HIGHLY, recommend people run to wait list for this course, if they want to become creators. I learned so many things in the budget course and it taught me a whole new outlook on money and why I treat it the way I do. I’m sure this course will be just as great!

Talking while cooking, filming and watching children must have it's challenges:) If this is not due to a cold or allergies, please take care, there are techniques to employ that enable healthier breathing patterns that afford deeper longer breaths.
