Things i love your channel specifically this video 1. The conversion of degrees 2. The interruptions of musicals and songs in general 3. Aria tasting the food and interrupting 4. How chaotic some parts are with splashes of oil o steam burns. I loved it!! I will definitely be making cabbage recipe
What about trying meals from different countries and cultures? For example It could be interesting to see what are people eating on Christmas around the world.
In the fall & winter, I make colcannon at least once a month and it's very similar to the 1st recipe. It's cabbage (or kale), onions, and one carrot sauteed until lightly browned, add canelini beans or chickpeas and then simmered w veggie broth and a little miso. Mix with mashed potatoes. It's like a hug in a bowl.
idk what it is maybe my OCD but for some reason the background seems not straight like the camera is tilted I think it is just the way you have the camera this time but you asked I don't think I mind the angle I am not sure though something seems... off
I agree! I'm neurodivergent and I had a hard time with that camera angle too. For me it made everything seemed so offset, along with for it being a little distracting to my disability and hard for me to stay concentrated. 😉
@dance101145 Just to let you know as someone with OCD, it’s not about needing things orderly or tidy. Its okay to want things orderly or organized just so, but that’s not what OCD is. It’s more complicated and diverse with the OCD experiences from the well known contamination to unwanted thoughts and compulsions. The reason I point this out is because it’s important for those who struggle with OCD that their struggle isn’t minimized or misrepresented.
As someone with a diagnosed disorder of OCD I think I can speak on it bothering me @@Grumpyfern28 obviously I have issues with odd numbers and lots of other issues in the way my OCD present itself (how I got my diagnosis) but that is not what I am bringing up here and I do not need to tell you all the ways it affects my everyday life. I literally said maybe it is my OCD maybe it isn't maybe I just don't like the angle but it seems off. Stop assuming people don't have a right to speak about things on the internet when they don't go completely in depth
When the oil got on your shirt I felt that on a spiritual level. After years of accidents in the kitchen (spilled a pot of pasta sauce down my chest twice as an example) I have accepted that I am my clothing's worst enemy and like how children have separate play clothes I have my own special cooking clothes because I am a terminal clutz 😭
For sure going to try the apple one, and probably the cabbage one, too... I also have a hard time with the cabbage, so using it all in one go is a good thing!
i have NEVER been this early to your vids, i think i like this angle more! the footage comes out sharper than normal but it does make me worry of when you fry something next time because you'd have to cook in an angle
Those videos make me want to cook so bad, I got an Air fryer and havent touched a real vegetable in a week I'm guilty, that cabbage looks fantastic ouuuh
that cabbage dish sounds like I need to make it this weekend as we're apparently nearing -10°C where I live and I am ready to not leave my house all week
Awww I loove our vegan queen who is always bringing in the so important Celsius temps haha we so appreciate it!! Tho to be fair Merle ha if it is 50 degrees Celsius I can guarantee you, you're NOT eating soup hahaha more like nibbling on the ice chips ahahah anyway, loved this video, so many awesome ideas !! And it's always so nice to get an appearance from Aria, I just love seeing you guys together it's so cute!! ❤❤❤❤❤💖💖
one way i love to eat cabbage is to just slice it up real small and roast in the oven with oil, salt, garlic, and pepper! if you roast at a higher heat it gets sooo crispy and delicious and i can eat like a LOT of it this way 🙈
I am MOST definitely making that soup! I’m a soup girl from Massachusetts too!! Oooooo you should recreate the 10 veg soup from Panera!!! They took it off the menu and I’m hard core craving it!
I like the side view my love. Been watching you for years, meat eater here but you have opened my eyes to alternatives and I recommend you. Love you. And I love the angle 😉
As someone who’s from Saudi Arabia I can assure you, you DONT wanna have soup when it’s 50C outside 😆 you will however want lots & lots of watermelon 🍉😋
Merle have you ever had haluski? It’s a polish noodle dish with cabbage and it super easy to veganize! It’s also delicious 😋 you could try vegan halupki too!! (Pigs in a blanket- but like, “beef” wrapped in cabbage, not mini hotdogs in crescent rolls lol)
Baby powder on the oil stain, if you washed it you can still try but it’s better on fresh oil stains. Let it sit for a few hours. Brush off and wash in cold water
The angle is good! I think you should get a wider lens that way we can see not just your full body, but more of the table as well. I also reccomend positioning the camera slightly lower than you normally would, that way the perspective looks more like what the naked eye sees. Love everything you do girl! ❤️❤️❤️
Was a bit taken back that your go to first word of phrase was that they look healthy, instead of that they look in anyway tasty/delicious :'D But they definitely look both. But hey, loved the video, and really liked the change in content. Definitely would love to see more videos that are *normal/usual* vegan options, love learning more about vegan cooking and substitutes from you, Merle! Always a joy to see your pup. Whilst I enjoyed being able to have a better shot of your pans, it was a bit off seeing you a bit to the side the whole time, sort of contorted by body at first by habit, thinking that would help lmao. Maybe a mix of both shots for different points of the video?
Ok first, dig the new angle. Also, I’m not sure if Merle is actually funny or if we are both warped in similar ways but the aria interrupts/looney tunes stuff made me snort.
I like this new angle a lot. It is actually more enjoyable to watch, more natural. We can see more of what you are doing. It makes for a very nice, evenly lit background. The focus is more on you in a kitchen and what you are doing, which is lovely visually. What a lovely kitchen. And, no, i can't see how this would make me dizzy. The transitions from close ups while cooking and back to this video make sense and tie the video cuts together. We can actually see what you have on the stove cooking in the background. Nice. Great choice to cut out the fridge. I really enjoyed this new angle. It makes a drastic improvement in your video. In the end, I think you should go with what is more pleasing to you artistically as a creator of your content.Thank you.
Both of cabbage and cauliflower you get that wonderful Millard reaction while browning, and it tastes so savoury, deep and delicious. Only problem is the smell while cooking.
I am very partial to a style of apple cinnamon roll that I picked up from a bakery in Seattle called Piroshky Piroshky that kind of gets everyone’s goat their bakers used to make faces at this window in Pike Place market like Nemesis in Resident Evil kind of thing: superb. I got some pretty awesome vegan stuff I’m working on but I’ve also been decked out recently literally and so it’s like doing it on a harder level but yeah whatever. There’s also a moving set of bakers in Seattle that make this most unique and beautiful black sesame kouign aman that looks like a puck of used coal it is so atrociously good and not vegan in Pioneer Square bakeries but definitely would make an interesting likely many afternoons for a not expert baker kouign aman is very tough to bake and mistress right but damn it was lovely and I want it.
Squeeze some Joy dish soap on any butter and/or grease stains, scrub it in w/ a brush or sponge of some kind, and wash like normal; it'll be right as rain.
..we too are a soup/stoup(stew) based family ☮️&🌱's -tracee ( LeRoy's wife) p.s. cleaning broccoli and or cauliflower produces inordinate amounts of vegetable 'glitter' those little bits you chase all over your kitchen for weeks L🥦L...
I feel like Aria and I can be good friends as I really dislike soup and tart apples. I only get soup if it’s free hot snd sour from my Chinese take out. Those hit different
What type of cabbage are you getting? I buy cabbage and keep it in the fridge to use a few leaves in salads every few days and it lasts more than 2 weeks. I live in lebanon idk about y'all's produce. Also a bruised cauliflower is still very good to go
Literally could not watch this for more than 30 seconds because of how diagonal the angle is- made me a little woozy honestly. Bummer because the video sounded great…
Things i love your channel specifically this video
1. The conversion of degrees
2. The interruptions of musicals and songs in general
3. Aria tasting the food and interrupting
4. How chaotic some parts are with splashes of oil o steam burns.
I loved it!! I will definitely be making cabbage recipe
So glad you enjoy the chaos :)
What about trying meals from different countries and cultures? For example It could be interesting to see what are people eating on Christmas around the world.
this is VERY cool
And/or naturally vegan meals from around the world!
Love this idea!
@@andicasian4102 there's a german tiktoker who does and his videos are amazing!
I'd love to see her try polish fermented beet soup. It's traditional and vegan! And we usually have it with mushroom dumplings.
I love that Aria joined you to taste the dish. People, vote to have guests taste the dishes!
"it rained for the first time since the last time it rained" so true 😂
im out here with the hard truths
Soup girl to my core should be a T-shirt! ❤❤❤
I'm not even vegan but when I see a new video from Merle I watch it immediately!!! (As soon as I'm off work lol)

Rather than just sticking to one angle, I like that you change them around every once awhile. It keeps things fresh.
In the fall & winter, I make colcannon at least once a month and it's very similar to the 1st recipe. It's cabbage (or kale), onions, and one carrot sauteed until lightly browned, add canelini beans or chickpeas and then simmered w veggie broth and a little miso. Mix with mashed potatoes.

No you are not OCD
Put a drop of liquid dish soap on the grease stains and wash as usual. No need to wait or anything. That works on old stains too.
Thanks for the tip!
Such cozy vibes☺
Omg yassssss Chappell!!! I just saw her in NC in October 🥰🥰
You can boil miso, it just keeps more of its nutritional benefits when it is not heated
lol merle when you said it rained for the first time in awhile i was in shock !!! here in the south its been raining ike twice a week haha
I'm jealous
Love these recipes!! If you can’t find your lid you can always put a cookie sheet down on your pan instead of aluminum foil 😊
coming to say the same
Great idea!!
Thanks cooking MacGuyver! :)

YEP no more lookin cute in the kitchen
I like this angle definitely brighter!
Love the cozy cooking vibes!
I love the Aria bit 😆😄🙂. You two are adorable 😎
Thanks for the enriching video today. Looking forward to coming back soon!
For sure going to try the apple one, and probably the cabbage one, too... I also have a hard time with the cabbage, so using it all in one go is a good thing!
Yesssss you get it, that's always my struggle with cabbage, i use half and then the other half just sits there waiting to go bad
i have NEVER been this early to your vids, i think i like this angle more! the footage comes out sharper than normal but it does make me worry of when you fry something next time because you'd have to cook in an angle
I'm busy binge watching all your videos. I have one word: apron. PS. Love cabbage, so I'll be making that recipe.
Those videos make me want to cook so bad, I got an Air fryer and havent touched a real vegetable in a week I'm guilty, that cabbage looks fantastic ouuuh
I appreciate you for putting me onto Chappell Roan, been listening all day since watching this vid earlier haha
Omg YAYY! she's truly amazing
Love the new recording format!
Fun video, do some holiday vegan recipes, that would be nice to see :)
i love your animations, heep expressing your humor like that ❤
Love this angle SO much better than the other one!
Now that’s what I call a new way of cooking!! Especially that apple donut lol!! Love the singing. You got skills!!
I love those too! Beryl does them!
@@lindseystory6343 yes ma’am!!! You know it
that cabbage dish sounds like I need to make it this weekend as we're apparently nearing -10°C where I live and I am ready to not leave my house all week
in that case, you simply must. maybe soup too. great for cold weather 👀
i'm going to try the apple one for sure!! maybe i'll make the hole bigger so that it's easier to thread the dough, hope it works!
i hope you enjoy ittt! it's delicious
Fun video! I like this camera angle, you don't look so closed in. :)

Some of these look good. I need to make a list of stuff to try
I’m loving your gorgeous floral shirt too 😍😍
Thank you!!
Looks at the cabbage “what is this meant to be” 😂😂😂❤

O0O0OO wait this is brilliant! SOUP GIRLS UNITE!
@@MerleONeal ALL the soup for you!! 🫶🏻
I like the side view my love. Been watching you for years, meat eater here but you have opened my eyes to alternatives and I recommend you. Love you. And I love the angle 😉
Haha not me eating that same apple donut thingie as I'm watching :D
ooo may try the last one with some kids in the family!
YES but prepare for some frustration hahha maybe go with the "up for interpretation" method of wrapping the apples
As someone who’s from Saudi Arabia I can assure you, you DONT wanna have soup when it’s 50C outside 😆 you will however want lots & lots of watermelon 🍉😋
Unless the soup is gazpacho
@@halfassfashion yeah 🤣
Hey! Try sometime Indian food. Tons of vegan option.
And you sing wonderfully well. ❤
Both ways look good for me)))
In Toronto it's cold today. REALLY cold. Perfect soup weather.
I love Aria visits ❤
Merle have you ever had haluski? It’s a polish noodle dish with cabbage and it super easy to veganize! It’s also delicious 😋 you could try vegan halupki too!! (Pigs in a blanket- but like, “beef” wrapped in cabbage, not mini hotdogs in crescent rolls lol)
I have not!!! sounds delicious
Baby powder on the oil stain, if you washed it you can still try but it’s better on fresh oil stains. Let it sit for a few hours. Brush off and wash in cold water
thank youuuuu
Soup lover here. This is heaven ❤
YESSSS
It looks more open this way!
That Into the Woods reference was top tier!!! I'm not a huge fan of cabbage or cauliflower but all of these looked SO delicious!!!!
hehehe 'm glad you enjoyed it!
I love all the musical references lmaooo
Hey Merle, you can sing, gurl 👍🏽
I love the cozy cooking videos!
I'm so glad!
6:22 One pan over the top of another pan. This is partly why I buy two of every pot and pan cause most sets only come with half the lids.
this is smart
I like the brightness of the new camera angle!
please do these more!
I enjoy them too!!
The angle is good! I think you should get a wider lens that way we can see not just your full body, but more of the table as well. I also reccomend positioning the camera slightly lower than you normally would, that way the perspective looks more like what the naked eye sees. Love everything you do girl! ❤️❤️❤️
Here for the part at 2:13 it’s littttt 😎❤
Also Merle’s face at 5:53 😂
I love the new camera angle!
i love how often you just start singing showtunes ❤
sometimes the noisiness inside my brain just starts coming out
I like this new camera angle too!
Mmmmm apple donuts! ❤
I've used pizza pans as lids in a pinch.
This is lowkey brilliant
Right?! Just be careful when you lift it off. ❤@@MerleONeal
OMG 7 days to die!!! Incredible game I will have to come watch omg XD
YESSS i'm hoooked and i just can't stop. but absolutely yes! we'll be streamin tomorrow :)
CHAPPELL ROAN?
H O T T O G O
more of this please
id love to know what vegan dumplings you like!!
Your song was giving Robin Sherbatsky
Boiling miso kills some of healthy fermented stuff but it’s still delicious
good to know :)
Loved this video, and is there any way you could share where you bought that beautiful tank top on day 2?
The brand is With Jéan

did you buy the viet vegan’s old house i swear this was her exact old set up 😭

FUCK YES I LOVE THE CHAPELL ROAN SHIRT!!!!!
YESSSS
we have no choice but to stan chappell
It’s true!!
Okay I must know what the bean monologue was from. Into the Woods??
YES!!!!
Not loving the angle that the video was filmed in, but loving the content!
The angle makes everything look a bit cramped.
Chappelle Roan is fucking amazing
truth
Slay Merle
CHAPPELL ROAN!!!!!!
Literally could not watch this for more than 30 seconds because of how diagonal the angle is- made me a little woozy honestly. Bummer because the video sounded great…
Your eyeshadow is fun! The middle part and clips are reminding me of another CZcams creator...
But please wheree did you get that flower shirt?? SO cute 😭❤
It was merch from Chappell Roan's concert!
I like the framing but it feels off with the island angled, I think it would be awesome if you can shift the island to be parallel with the camera!
