    I've noticed in a few different videos that you are very careful to use "I" statements as opposed to "you" statements. I really appreciate that. You tell us how you live your life, without telling us how we should be living our own lives. For people who might be inspired to make changes in their own lives, it feels inspiring without feeling like I'm being told what to do.

      Hi Lulu! You are a treasure! I was wondering what kind of pan your new one you have on the heat? It looks like it is non-stick. I'm always looking for "safe" ones, but some reports say there are none that are safe!! I mostly use a small cast iron pan or coated cast iron like lodge or Le Creuset. Tho, heavy for storage.
      Praying your travels are fantastic and safe!!

      I am really enjoying your content. The zoom with Chris and her struggles with diabetes and weight was an inspiration for me to care more about myself health than just putting something filling in my mouth. I do not want diabetes and right now is a good time to make sure I do not allow it. Keep up the great videos, I appreciate you!

    I pressure cooked a sweet potato and a butternut squash a couple days ago, then cubed them. Last night, I had some brown basmati rice, the squash and sweet potato mixture, added some pickled beets I canned last fall, drizzled some olive oil and a dash of Himalayan sea salt, and oh my, it was fantastic! Thank you for the inspiration, LuLu!

    Lulu, you're an inspiration. I've always precooked my rice or quinoa to have some ready in the fridge, but I never thought of doing that with regular green veggies. It makes so much sense. One of the reasons people avoid eating vegetables is because they can be tedious to prepare, but if they're sitting in the fridge ready to eat, it's so much easier to load your plate. Thanks for sharing your tips!

    I’ve been watching van life and car dwelling videos for the better part of two months, and this is the first time I’ve seen anyone flip their cooler like this. It’s brilliant! I watched your van tour on Butterfly Tracks, and also thought the idea you had to of have a tiny freezer and ice packs vs a whole fridge to power constantly was also so smart on many levels. I just bought a Honda Element that I’m planning on building out. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos to see your journey and hopefully more amazing ideas along the way!

    Hey, Lulu!
    Fabulous tips! I’ll definitely start cooking more veg to have on hand to assemble meals.
    I forgot that I had purchased a butane stove a 18 months ago. I was hosting an Aliner Rally-I’m the Regional Director of Eastern Canada-in Kingston ON, and left my Coleman stove at home. Thus the new purchase.
    Safe travel, and stay well!
    Muskoka ON🇨🇦
    Unfortunately, my Aliner shelter collapsed under the 4 ft of snow we had over Christmas weekend. This was followed by freezing rain later in the week. My Aliner was written off by my insurance company. Fortunately, I had the foresight to have replacement insurance, so it paid for most of the cost for my 2023 Rove 16RB. It’s only 16ft long, has a full bath across the back and the bed across the front. It’s perfect for me. I’ve come a long way from Sept 2015 when I had just retired an was sleeping in my backpacking tent!

    An easy recipe is to brown some minced meat (pork/beef) then stir through a handful of raw rice, and a little of any seasoning you like. Fill some raw capsicums with it and plug the top with a slice of potato. Or wrap the meat in soft pre boiled cabbage leaves. Neatly stack to fill line of your pressure cooker and cover with liquid stock or just a stock cube dissolved in water. Cook in your pressure cooker for about an hour.
    Paprika powder tastes best when generously sprinkled over bread smothered in cold beef fat- save that fat next time you finish frying a hamburger 😊 I enjoyed your video- Thankyou Lulu.

    I've been enjoying your videos! 3:36 Please rethink that part, bcuz yes, they can explode. Use canisters labeled with CRV (C. Release Valve) for releasing excess pressure from heat. Also, *never remove/install a canister while stove is hot to the touch,* per the manufacturer. *Avoid large pans* - - they overlap the canister area and heat it up! Plus, UL Listed, etc. is needed.
    Storage of canisters:
    There are ways to store them outside a vehicle. (Manufacturer's instructions say to not store them in a building......or any enclosed space.)
    You really do have a great channel, a wonderful personality, and you are a joy to listen to!

    I love that u use your insta pot on the road but u r right about not everyone having power for it, but what most people don’t realize is that an insta pot is just a pressure pot (which can be used on your butane stove) with a lot more designed bells and whistles on board. I carry my stovetop pressure cooker with me. I can use it to pressure cook or use the pot to heat water or cook corn on the cob and without the lid locked down it can be used for any purpose a regular pot can and it is just as safe as the instapot is. There are so many safety release features built into these new pots that you have to be extremely talented to make them blow😊

    Hi, Try the Vital Farms ORGANIC pasture raised eggs. I always bought the black label like you but started buying the pasture raised organic......... the organic ones are bit more expensive but they are so wonderful! No issues with GMO's. Many people don't realize the black label Vital Farm eggs are NOT organic and the company does have the organic ones and they are labeled organic unlike the ones you purchased. I only eat pasture raised poultry as well and all grass fed meat/butter/ghee etc. Yes, I'm a health nut at 58 and it's so lovely to see you take such good care of yourself. Thanks for the wonderful videos

    • @LulusWay64
      @LulusWay64  Рік тому

      hi Angela! I know EXACTLY the eggs you are talking about, always always my first choice, "Vital Farms Organic Pasture Raised, Size XL", but at this store Sprouts, this was my one and only option for pasture raised. there were cage-free organic, but I would rather have conventional pasture raised than organic cage-free (because cage-free is a joke, it's trickery to the public). anyway thanks your for healthy advice to me, it was good advice!!

So I went and got a flour mill, but I love to travel and so that’s why I asked about bread making on the road 😂 silly question… thanks for diet advice and I will be looking into it further.
