Great to see you cooking again. Great video!!

The black bean soup is such a good simple idea, made even cheaper if you use dry beans. I'm gonna have to try that and experiment with putting my own twist on it!

That chicken pita looks delightful! Excited to try and make a few of these recipes

Hello all of them looked so good and easy to make, but my favorites are the breakfast fried rice....and the chickpea curry..can't wait to make them...thank you.

I eat plant based so chick peas are a staple for me as well as lentils and beans. You can make chickpea salad (mock chicken salad) and stuff that into pitas as well. I do use fresh tomatoes and lettuce with it but not always if I’m in a hurry. It’s very filling and delicious. Plenty of leftovers for lunches

They all looked delicious. My favorite has to be the Chicken in the Pita!

Hi Jamie! I’m a fairly new subscriber and you have quickly become one of my favorites. 😊 I absolutely love your food and meal philosophy. I also really like that you are practical about it; l love chocolate too! 😁 I’ve learned it’s about balance because that is what sustains a healthy life. I can honestly say l loved all these meals but l think l like the pitas best! 😁 Great channel!

Great recipes Jaime! 😍 They look amazing! 😘
I think your breakfast fried rice could be great any time of day! And as much as I love fried rice, I should think about the version I would make. I think the only time I've had rice for breakfast was warm with milk and sugar. 😋
The two chicken dinners looked good too! Every time I eat a hamburger I say every sandwich should be served in a pita! That way you wouldn't lose all the filling. 😚
Some of my best meals have been just grabbing items and throwing them in a pot. I really impressed a guy once when I did that. He was amazed at how good it was. You can do a lot with frozen chicken and frozen veggies. A little seasoning and you've got a tasty meal!
I used to keep peas and carrots in the freezer all the time. Then a local chain store came out with peas, carrots and corn, an item I would usually add anyway. I don't always want all the different items in mixed vegetables.
But you've given us a good variety of meals! ☺️ And I certainly need to start throwing some meals together!
Sometimes when I want something light, I just put a little butter in a skillet and toss in a corn tortilla. After I flip the tortilla, I add some cheese to one half and a few slices of jalapeno and fold it in over. Then I flip it again to make sure the cheese melts all the way. I'll make 3 or 4 of them then chow down. 😉 If I have an avocado it's even better! But it's also a good way to have corn tortillas as a side for a meal.
But I know what you mean about a lot of ingredients. It becomes overwhelming for everyone! Same for spices. That's why I always have pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice on hand all the time!
Lots of very good ideas Jaime! I will definitely be thinking about this!
Thanks for sharing another great video! 🥰
