video exclusive with jks productions

December 30, 2011

You may remember a few months ago, I was working with Josh from JKS Productions on putting together a fun cooking video in my home. Josh has been hard at work putting together the first video we shot together. This video shows step by step instructions for one of my favorite recipes — Cheesy Chickpea Quinoa.

Thanks again for Josh from JKS Productions for working with me on this. Believe me when I say that Josh is an awesome photographer and videographer, and I definitely recommend his services to anyone living in the Chicago land area!

And now if anyone asks you if you have videos of you cooking, you do! Believe it or not, I get asked this quite a bit…and I don’t have any.

My hubs built his business in Chicago and lived there for 40 years before we left and is in advertising. I will ask him if he’s ever heard of the guy who did your video. He knows TONS of video guys there!

This is so great girl! You’re a natural. :)
Question: Do you cook with salt? I noticed you didn’t use any in your recipe which is probably a good thing but I can’t imagine not making any recipe without it.

WHOA. Let’s talk about how my MIND. IS. BLOWN. I have been pronouncing quinoa incorrectly for at least a year now. I feel like an idiot, and am now trying to rack my brain to figure out who in my life I’ve said this word to that has never corrected me and just laughed behind my back after I said it. THANK YOU for educating me on the correct pronunctiation.

Reply

Amanda December 30, 2011 at 9:07 pm

Also, I spelled pronunciation wrong. I’m really NOT an idiot, I swear…

cleaneatingchelsey December 31, 2011 at 7:42 am

And that IS awesome - how have you been pronouncing it? I love it.

Reply

Amanda December 31, 2011 at 10:17 am

This is so embarrassing. I’ve been saying something along the lines of keen-o-ah. So not correct. I’m ashamed.

Wow I would never have imagined you with an accent! Are you originally from the south or do I just not know accents at all (entirely possible lol!). Love the vid!
