    You have no idea how much you have helped me! I have never liked cooking. I get major anxiety in the early afternoons because I realize dinner is right around the corner and I haven't planned anything. We have never had a lot of money so getting creative with meals was just too hard for me and I resorted to cheap already made meals for most of the time. I hated it. Your videos sparked some kind of weird inspiration in me and I have been doing freezer meals and meal prepping like mad around here for the last 3 weeks. My family of 5 has never been so excited for breakfast, lunch AND dinner! I've kinda become obsessed but I'm so happy about it and always look forward to your videos. Thank you so much for being awesome!

    In the UK what you call apple crisp we call Apple crumble and those are the exact proportions I use, you are right it is a great flavour. The same topping works with plums or rhubarb or apple and blackberry.

    We always get frozen Brussels sprouts (Aldi does them in Belgium), but we boil them in a pot of water. And there's nothing wrong with them, taste just as good as fresh (even better). No cleaning them, just open the bag and plop them in the water and then just the little plastic bag to get rid of. But this is (of course) just my experience.

    I do buy frozen brussels sprouts but you have to cook longer....or i do. Fresh ones i slice up(shred like), mix with bacon fat or avocado oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder and lay out on sheet pan. I bake 375-400 until they are somewhat caramelized like we like them.( Stir a couple times along if cooking a lot of them). For frozen i do the same -slice them up. Put on sheet pan and cook till the water has cooked out and they've dried. Then i do the oil and seasonings and cook till browned like i want.

    Christine, I love your story about Dave's reaction when you were eating this for breakfast. I have a recipe for an Ice Cream Cake. It has an Oreo Cookie crust, then half a gallon of ice cream (any flavor, although my family's favorite is mint chocolate chip). Then spread the softened ice cream over the crust. Then after it spends time in the freezer to firm back up, it gets topped with a yummy homemade (a part of the recipe) chocolate fudge topping. My best friend had some years ago & loved it. Now she makes for a lot of her family's celebrations. Guess what she does it there are leftovers ---- she eats it for breakfast!!! Your story about Dave made me laugh & think of my friend, so I had to share the story. BTW the Apple crisp recipe looks awesome! I can't wait to try it!!!

She loves it and now she’s on this beach body coaching regiment that she does and she loves it where she works out every morning or every evening depending upon your schedule because she is now a stay at home mom. But she still earning some money from the beach body and from her fellowships so it’s really great and I’ve enjoyed sharing some tips of yours with her but I had to very gently.
