VLOG! COOKING, WHAT I ATE TODAY AND MORE

2020-06-20 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 35 min

Chantal wakes early, eats bacon and eggs, cares for a sick cat (Sam) who visits the vet and receives antibiotics, goes grocery shopping, and cooks a homemade shepherd's (cottage) pie with a large salad and homemade creamy Greek-yogurt dressing. She discusses struggles with sleep, cravings, meal planning and weight-loss support, shows grocery items (individual pizzas, deli snack packs, Beyond Meat, crispy jalapeños, produce), and closes with dinner and a Father’s Day sign-off.
