Hey Foodie, Thank you for stopping by...
I have read and taken into consideration concerns some viewers had and making improvements as I go forward. I am new to all this and your feedback (given respectfully) will help me improve the quality of these videos.
Concern that we’re voiced:
1. Unable to see recipe ➡️ Recipes will now be in the description box
2. Music too loud, my voice too soft➡️ Will improve in my next video
3. Talking while words are on screen ➡️ I will try not to talk while words are on screen (Should I make the videos without voice?)
Let me know how else I could improve, Remember I am learning as I go along. Thank you and spread kindness.

I'm not a Vegan but I am Vegetarian!
Well, I say I'm Vegetarian because I only eat cows and sheep that eat grass, which makes the cows and sheep Vegetarians.
So, that makes me Vegetarian!
