    I have been inspired to stop my regular kind of grocery shopping here in the U.S. and follow your example to cook and eat well with simple ingredients, rice and noodles. &nbsp;I&apos;m having so much fun tracking down and trying all the different sauces and seasonings you use to flavor simple dishes. &nbsp;My grocery bill has dropped dramatically and I have learned new respect for how many ways a carton of eggs and some slices of meat can be used. &nbsp;I just want to thank you for showing us how you do this in so much detail. &nbsp;I am glad your channel popped up in my feed a month ago. &nbsp;It may sound silly, such a simple thing, but it has actually changed my life significantly for the better. &nbsp;I&apos;m grateful!

    I don&apos;t know if it&apos;s something you would like or not, but one of our favorite simple meals during the heat of summer, is zucchini and green onions cooked in butter. &nbsp;Slice the zucchini thin, chop the green onions (both white and greens) into small, thin slices. &nbsp;Salt and pepper to taste, and in a skillet cook in butter, enough that it won&apos;t burn the zucchini. &nbsp;Fry until zucchini is transparent, or done to choice. &nbsp;You can add garlic if desired, but it&apos;s a nice simple hot weather meal. &nbsp;With two of us, I generally use 3-4 zucchini, depending on their size, but the size you had today was perfect. &nbsp;If you try it, let me know what you think. &nbsp;It&apos;s basic, simple, and you can add any flavoring with it, but we keep it very simple. &nbsp; &nbsp;Have you considered working as a chef? &nbsp;You have an amazing sense of food.
