    A tip I learned recently about shredded cheese: The pre-shredded kind has a powder on it to keep it from sticking together. That powder makes tummy issues WORSE!! So now I shred my own from blocks and cheese bothers me less!

      i also noticed the higher quality cheese barley affects me (tummy wise)!! so if your able to splurge on your parm or cheddar i would highly recommend it :D

    The pasta was so bland because you used tomato paste instead of a tomato sauce like marinara, something seasoned and meant to be eaten raw. Tomato paste is more for base flavors like soups and things to build off of:) hopefully this helps with your red sauce journey!!

    I watched this video again and the part at the end made me want to comment to you. You’re doing a great job at only 22yrs old. You’ve gone to college, have a small business, live on your own and run a channel. Don’t be hard on yourself, you are doing a lot of things much older adults aren’t doing. You are creative and budget savvy, ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! Have a blessed day!

    About the food possibly going bad (your veggies tasting funny) there's a rule my aunt taught me: 2-2-2
    2 hours on room temperature before putting it in the fridge
    2 days in the fridge to eat it or before putting it in the freezer (if it's food you can freeze and reheat later)
    2 months in the freezer (if it's something that's been cooked/baked already)

    Tomatoe paste is more for colour than for seasoning bestie
    You have to add seasoning still not just the paste alone hence the bland pasta

    I'm 40 and all I can say is you are off to a great start my friend :) Start investing and saving now (advice I would have given myself at your age) and if/when you can purchase real estate do it. I was an adventurer and lived in France/Italy/China/California before returning to France and have only now adulted to the extent of purchasing real estate. It didn't 'make sense' before but it could have easily been a passive source of income... Anyhoo, sorry for the random unsolicited advice, keep up the good work! I very much enjoy your content!!

    Hey there! I am watching this Vlog with my 8 week old baby kitten in my lap. My son surprised me with her and I love her to pieces ❤️. Btw I have noticed too that Full/Queen sheets are almost the same. But Queen is loose enough to wrinkle and cause hurting hips so I bought those suspender things to keep them tight. Full are hard to get on that last corner. What a nuisance!!

    ✨A tip for cutting onions that my mom taught me is that onions seek the closest water source and that is usually your eyes so if if you wet a paper towel and lay it on the cutting board before and while you’re cutting the onions you shouldn’t cry. Because of the onions at least✨

    I wear glasses and lenses for many many years, and it doesn't help against onions. But what i do is i wash the onions after i peeled them and i cut with a knive that is wet. water is the solution against the sulfur from the onions that burns your eyes.

    I don't know how you can just half a bagel, they're too good to not eat the whole one! And I don't know your feelings on pumpkin flavor, but Aldi has pumpkin flavored cream cheese that I'm looking forward to getting next time I get groceries.
    I can't stand cooked spinach, it always leaves a gross film in my mouth. Been scrambling eggs with frozen kale and I like it better, it's heartier than the spinach (but I learned kale is in the cabbage family, so maybe that's why).
    Always taste your cook while it's cooking, so you can add spices if you need to. Tomato paste is always bland and is typically used as additives to tomato based sauces or on top of meatloaf.

    @marsgal6027 2 года назад

    With the recipe you tried, that tomato paste is very bland because people usually use it as a base for other sauces so they don't usually season those. I would say for your recipe things like garlic, onion and maybe Italian seasoning along with salt and pepper and those red flakes could really take it up a notch. 💕
