Trying a new video technique! I have been trying to get back into GreenLiteBite videos forever but every attempt at recreating how I used to do it back in the day has failed. So, I decided to try a new way. For this video, I recorded clips while I cooked dinner and then edited them together adding some insight while I worked on it.
I'm not going to lie, it was super fun! I hope you enjoy and it gives you a new dinner idea. Check my Thyme Salmon with Maple Cayenne Brussels Sprouts and Flavored Rice video here or hop on over to YouTube!
