Kallie: as a 58 year old dude, I am probably not in your target demographic but love your vids and especially this one. With two adult sons in my house because of Covid, I can use a few ideas for lunch when Mrs. Powernoodle is not here. You rock.

I am Greek and it felt nice and funny at the same time, that our very traditional foods and brands, like tzatziki and fage, are so loved and special at you country, too!

I love the husband examples! Please always include them, they help me to customize food for my husband 😁

I am SO GLAD you did this video!!! I will definitely be trying some of these! Do more!!! I’m always of the lookout for healthy, quick, veg filled meals. Thank you!

When I want something sweet, I take some good hot cocoa mix, mix it up with a tiny bit of hot water and then add my Greek yogurt. Trader Joe’s used to sell chocolate yogurts and this tastes exactly the same.

Spinach freezes really well for later use in smoothies and to throw into cooked dishes like pasta and soup. I always get the bigger pack because it's a better deal and freeze half.

Totally with you on the one bite of good sweet dark chocolate! Great, healthy grocery hall…wish my stores had more selections.

I love the Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips and I stuff one into the top of some raspberries and eat those, and I am telling you it is incredible. I do that when I want something sweet. So, so good!

Girl you gotta stop making me hungry! I have a little one about Miles’ age and I definitely can’t wait to try some of these out for our family! Thank you for always producing concise and to the point content!

You are the first person I’ve ever seen that shops at Big Y! Nice to see a different store for once and not have someone rave how great Kroger is. Especially when we do not have one in Mass.

I freeze green cubes (cukes, ginger, lemon, parsley, water) ahead of time and keep with a bag of frozen greens and a jar of mixed "boosters" (chia, flax, hemp hearts, etc) in a bin in the freezer. I blend with water, but you could add juice if you need the sweet. I like the fresh, spicy green taste. Great, easy, quick way to get two servings of greens down during the day. Your chickpea salad looks awesome. Could be a side or main for me. Love these! Easy, quick, healthy is my favorite way.

Omgosh that brussel sprout salad looks fabulous!

"Fage" is pronounced as "fa-yeh, " with emphasis on the first syllable. Thanks for another great video.

Love seeing how other people eat for the week and get new ideas!

Fresh spinach can be frozen and used in smoothies and other recipes.

In your boxed greens-spinach, baby greens, etc-add a couple sheets of paper towels folded on top and close tightly. Change as needed. I keep the big 1# box of mixed greens over a week... Sometimes two if it was a fresh box when i got it. I also do this with bagged spinach and clip closed.

I live in Michigan, so I don’t know if these pickles are everywhere, but I just discovered Nathan’s pickles. They are the best I have ever had.

[gladyswallace]

I am the exact same with the lil' bit of sweet after a meal. Usually I have this craving after pasta dishes or potatoes. I love grilled veggies. My husband is a meat and potatoes guy and I find myself eating that way more often than I should. I thank you for sharing these ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

[ThisAbilityClinic]

Just picked up some Grillo’s pickles at Costco. SUCH a great recommendation! I’m so hungry after watching this video. Can’t wait to try your brussels sprout and chickpea salad!

The tomato paste in the tubes is great too because you rarely use a whole can.
