   To be more heart-safe and cancer-safe, I'd roast, instead of frying with oil, the vegetables. The roasting flavor is delicious, without the iffy liquid smoke. I'd use a whole grain, not white rice.

    Worcestershire sauce is not vegetarian or vegan as it contains anchovy fish but there is a vegetarian alternative

    This is like hanging out in your auntie’s kitchen and she’s telling you about the kids, and what she’s been up to, etc. while she cooks. It’s nice.

    I love watching you cook.
    My meat free "meat" dishes never achieve the quality I'm looking for. Watching how you bring these dishes together is so helpful. Thank you!

    OR you can get the misto sprayer. I got them on a two for one deal at Ross and then found another at Kroger for $2, so I have three of those pumps for different oils. You pump the lid and it builds up pressure and sprays like a regular spray can! SO worth having those that you just refill with your choice of oils. Can't wait to try this. Had to watch it again. lol
