And so we're gonna go ahead and just, you know
stir this around just a little bit.
- Okay.

You know, I like to say, we like
to spice our food well, 'cause we don't wanna
victimize people with our unseasoned food.
Right? - Hey.

garlic powder right here.

- Yeah, totally, uh-huh.
- [Kena] And then, yep, you got it,
Kelly, you know what you're doing.
- Yeah, I know. I'm nailing it.

And then we got some salt.

for some creaminess.
- [Kelly] All right.
- And you could also use coconut milk, almond milk,
whatever alternative dairy product you'd wanna use
if you don't wanna use milk.
But I like to add extra fat, right?
