      Especially when there isn't so much a recipe as a "here's what I've been eating and how you can make it" kind of video.

    I'm excited for the chicken breast video, I absolutely suck at cooking them!
    Chicken thighs have been my go to because of that.

    Love your videos! Been watching them for a while. I know a bit ago you did some Asian dishes, lately I've been trying to make beef bulgogi at home. Any thoughts on making a video of that? Thank you again and can't wait for the chicken video!

    This is so CRAZY - I literally JUST sat down for dinner after making my food, turn on this video, and realize, I MADE THE EXACT SAME THING TOTALLY by chance!!! I even put the premade chicken with salsa in the microwave!!! HOW WEIRD!!! Damn UFOs casting some chicken quesadilla airwaves in the air lol.
