Thank you for all your hard work. So appreciated.
Thank you! YES, to big-batch cooking!!
How do you gauge how much to eat? You’ve mentioned other recipes as not conducive to weight loss (like when recipe testing), but have also said the good thing about WFPB is that you don’t need to count calories or restrict amounts. Hummus is calorie-dense so you must limit the amount, for example.
Thank you for this video, for always being your honest selves, and for sharing all these delicious recipes!
Thankyou so much for your hard work and it is very much appreciated
I've relapsed recently. Not too bad, just regained a couple of kilos but it broke my heart and need videos like these to keep me focused. ♥️✨
You don’t know how much it’s helping me to see you folks on track and excited about it.
Enthusiasm is contagious and wonderful to see.
I love how you tell him to calm down, and then the look at the camera of "i'm 100% calm and have been"
😂😂😂 that's the secret... Brian is always calm...
Brian, I totally understand. The feeling of feeling good. When I stick to my plant based eating, I feel so good. I don’t crave food anymore. I crave the feeling of eating food that is good for my body. Love you Jessica! You guys are too cute.
The smokey hummus was a huge game changer for me, as a salad dressing omg🤤
I use hummus as salad dressing too. Learned it from these 2 :D
Me three! The best.
This video came at the perfect time for me. I fell off HARD just prior to lockdown and I am trying to climb back up now. It's a great reminder of all the dishes I have enjoyed in the past. Thank you both for all your hard work. ❤
Jessica’s blog post is the best I have EVER see, graphics , organization,color, products....much appreciated much much Jess !
As soon as you said ‘the number one is’ it went to an ad... nice timing! 😂
Me too, 😂
Soooo grateful for you two! You put yourselves out there, achievements & defeats.....you two represent so many of us and 'back to basics' is just what I needed right now. Thank you!
Quite honestly, I think five different dishes in a week is pretty good for people with jobs, families and busy lives who are not professional chefs, and as long as you’re eating plants, it doesn’t matter too much which ones. People living in areas of the world with large numbers of centenarians usually have diets that consist principally of fresh and locally grown produce but are not necessarily particularly varied. Herbs and spices are what turn potentially bland mush into a party in your mouth, as opposed to the oil, salt and sugar we can get so hooked on.
Brian , I lovee your comment about the smell taking you back to a happy time in your life with losing weight ... So positive!
After Jessica asking so nicely, I HAD to click on the blog post. 😊
I totally agree with you guys about starting now and not waiting till jan 1. This gives me the ability to get revved up and fine tuned and a head start on my plan of attack so when new years rolls around I already have momentum. Its really key for me in the long winter.
Thank you guys for being so open and honest. I don't even need to lose more than 5 lbs. but I love your videos! Right now, during this pandemic, so many people are experiencing similar feelings. I think it's so important to be able to talk about it honestly. When you're able to do that it allows others to be more open with their feelings!
Brian, have you thought of
reading for audiobooks?
Thank you for being real. This year has not been a great one for my eating habits. I have actually begun craving veggies and salad the past couple of days. I appreciate that you let us see your imperfections. It really is encouraging. I agree. Start today. I have oatmeal in the house for breakfast. Then I'll shop for more healthy food after checking out some of your recipes to know what ingredients I need. Thanks again. Merry Christmas!
Yum and thanks for continuing to motivate the rest of us !
You two are like sunshine and balmy weather. I get supercharged from watching you.
You've inspired me to try again. I've been mostly vegetarian for decades but was lured into years of off-and-on Keto/Paleo, and always gained the weight back. I just couldn't get into cooking since my husband died. I'm 67, and the older you get, the harder it is to lose weight. But, I'm making progress. I went off the wagon over Thanksgiving, but weighed myself this morning, and am thrilled that I hadn't gained any weight! Christmas time may be another story, but I'll keep at it. Thanks for being real about the ups and downs.
So happy for you guys! All of this stress has caused me to crave comfort foods when I was previously eating many more veggies. Need to get back on track and you guys are an inspiration!
Thanks for this. I’m about to start a liver detox and I need to eat vegan. This is great inspiration.
Thanks for sharing, as always, and your honesty. We all have these periodic struggles and need to reset. As in ME! My GF isn’t WFPB no-oil but I do all the cooking so she cheerfully eats what I give her. EVERYTIME I try out one of Brian’s recipes she raves about how much she likes it. So, we’ll be jumping on to the sensible lunch and big salad for dinner train again. :)
I loved this video and just want to say how much I loved the chili! I made it for some friends and we all loved it. Even my friend who claimed not to be a chili fan... I was suspicious of the Cinnamon in a chili, but it wasn’t overpowering and added a lot of flavor. I’ll be using this again. Also, with the salad, I never thought of using hummus for salad dressing... way good. Thanks so much for making these delicious recipes and sharing them.
i haven't cooked in like 2 weeks because i am shooting and editing daily now and watching this gave me the motivation to cook all the vegies that can still be used from my fridge and get back on track.
Can you talk about some of the challenges that have kept you from losing weight. Like more than refined carbs or added fat in food. I know I binge hard. Like I can house 2,000+ calories to my face during a late night snack. Your Potato diet videos from 2 years ago have help me a lot to deal with that. It would be nice to hear what some of your struggles have been.
This is my struggle too, binging in the evening.
May I share what some of my obstacles are? I fall prey to the vegan processed food marketing. I fall down the hole of processed faux cheeze and faux meatz. Then I binge on sweet vegan baked items.... it gets real bad and I wake up feeling like mud.
Thank you. I've been struggling. And am starting today again. Didn't realized how hard it would be. Not going to give up
Oh God bless you both. I am so grateful to you both. I need this so much. I have been so stuck and gaining weight again.i have been so derailed. Love you guys. Also your honesty is such a comfort.
Loved this! I made the chili last night. Funny story my husband has told me since we met (over 10 years ago) that he’s allergic to beans, but last year his mom called him out at dinner saying he’s not. Turns out he just doesn’t like them. He absolutely loves your chili! He tells everyone about how awesome your chili is too. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!
This is so helpful. I’m writing your recipes out to begin my WFPB eating plan and weight loss for January 2021. 💗
Thank you this is motivation 😻, After losing over 50kg /100lbs in 5 months I realized When it comes to weight-loss so many people want quick results so they easily give up. When you gained all that weight, it didn't happen over night . its the same when losing your weight. Never give up. Stick to your goal and Be Patient with yourself 🔥🔥🔥
How could anyone say u guys suck???? You re both adorable!! X
We've only had a few but they do exist.🤣
Thank you for your tried and true recipes plus the time posting them on your site, but mostly for your genuine selves. You are encouraging. Heading to check out the recipes now!
I hate salad. Anytime I start a diet that requires me to eat salad I stick to it about 2 days (maybe 3). However, I love soup! One cookbook gave a definition of soup: a cooked salad. (c: I have soup every day, sometimes twice a day. One of them is very brothy (as opposed to creamy), and I always put a big handful of spinach in the bowl before adding the soup. So far, it's working for me.
Ever thought about a cookbook??
We are working on one. Hopefully, the we will get the first one out sometime next year.😀
Yes, Krocks!! It is truly like coming home. Thank you for your content and sharing your "adventure" :)
Thank you pda! We are thankful to have a fan like you that has stuck with us this whole time.😀
We had Brian’s chili today. It is our favorite. I use too large Dutch ovens for the recipe putting half in each pot. It is by far the best chili ever.
My 90-year-old dad loves Brian's Chili. Dad eats it in a big bowl with mashed potatoes. I make a half batch in the Instant Pot. Best recipe ever!!!!!
Happy you two are back in the groove. Keep on keeping it simple. You committed to staying on track is motivating me.
This video has re-inspired me to get back to basics! These basics work and I don't know why I've gotten away from them! Thanks!
The pizza cutter on the salad leaves just blew my mind. totally genius.
I was so excited when I saw this video! I'm going to try all your recipes. I knew salad was your No. 1 because I went over to the Blogpost at the beginning of the video when Jessica mentioned how hard she worked on it. It is AMAZING!! I will visit more often. For real! ♥
Thanks so much for your commitments to us your viewers. I just want to let you know that I can see the pounds melting off Jessica on Instagram. It gives me hope and inspiration for myself. Yay to getting healthy again. Thank you guys.
So glad you are both back on track and looking so inspired and inspiring. Everyone can have a blip; the key is to keep focused and move forward towards your goal. Every best wish!
I was eating a salad as I watched this video. 😋❤ Thank you for all you do. You two are so fun to watch and inspire me to cook . Your hummus recipe is 👍 and I love it on a baked sweet potato with some arugula. Thanks for making the pandemic so much easier to go through. Stay safe. Hugs from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 🤗
I’m digging myself out my hole of funk as well so you are inspiring me as well. And Jessica, I’m with you with sweets... I love my nice cream too and when I have that after dinner I find that really helps me too. Thank you both for sharing with us.
I checked out Jessica’s blog post and have just made the Smokey Hummus it’s very nice I served mine with some Teriyaki sauce over the top which was quite syrupy and thick . It tasted delicious 😋
Your Chili is one of my top five recipes for weight loss too! We make it at least every other week 😊. To be honest we weren’t really fans of the cinnamon and nutmeg on day one. But when the flavours melded overnight it was a game changer. Love it !
Brian's Chili is the best!! We make it all the time 😋 the cinnamon and nutmeg is the best part!
Yes it is! We just ate some for lunch with hummus on top!
HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO DO MORE RECIPES PLEASE AND thank you YOU 2 ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION AND YOU KEEP IT REAL THANK YOU FOR SHARING
I agree. WFPB recipes aren’t always great. A lot of them fail. BUTTTTT there are many things we all create in our kitchens that become instant classics. To each their own. Try new things a lot of things are amazing and you would never know.
I use hummus as a dressing then add a mixture of maple syrup mustard and apple cider vinegar it’s perfect
So glad you mentioned about the freezing of the foods!
Clicked soooo fast. Trying to put together a grocery list and I’m looking for something new. Thank you!
Hope you find a new favorite!!
@@KrocksInTheKitchen I think it’ll be red beans and rice this time 😊
Nice cream is a staple for me. I prefer peanut butter but chocolate is a hit, too. I've already lost near 40 pounds on my own since March 2020 but I have 40ish more to go and needed some new things to cook :) Thanks for the great videos!
Made the the chili today. It is delicious. Only made half of the recipe , it should be enough to last through the weekend for my husband and me. Thanks for sharing your recipes and your weight loss journey. Keep up the good work.
I can’t wait to try the beans and chili recipe! I’m also documenting my weight loss 🌱 vegan Journey on my Y T channel and SOS recipes are ideal! Love ya guys! Thanks for all the amazing content. That’s what i try to do as well to help people on their weight loss journey like i am 🥰
My favorite has been the orange veggie soup! The Italian flavor is awesome. constantly keep it stocked in my freezer for me 😉
I love making a sandwich with your hummus recipe, I add sliced tomatoes, lettuce, thin sliced sweet onion, and a large heaping spoonful of hummus. So yummy, thx again Brian for this recipe :)
That sounds awesome! I'll have to give it a try. 😀
The chili recipe is so phenomenal! I'm looking forward to eating that for my lunches this week!! Thanks so much!
I'm going to try all of the soups and chilis - thanks for making and documenting these recipes. I already use Brian's smoky all-purpose salad dressing every day on my salad.
You two are the best present of
2020💖. Thank you for your generosity of time and motivation.🙏
Wow, thank you for you enjoying out content! We truly appreciate it.😀
Oh, I loved this video! My favorite recipes are the chocolate banana “nice” cream and the Smokey hummus. My husband and I really do enjoy the hummus - thanks 😊
You guys, I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your past video with the Whole Foods garlicky lake salad recipe!! I have made it as often as possible ever since!!! It’s kale season again in Germany and I’m back on the sauce 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Please give us a recipe list of half the chili!!! Also, my family would complain of cinnamon too, but I won't;)
I did a weird green soup last year after I watched yalls video for the first time. Sooooo good.
Happy to see your enthusiasm for getting back on track. Very inspiring! Take care.
Love those power bowl salads! It's like a vegetable sushi bowl. Actually I like pretty much all your recipes. Thanks to Jessica, I now enjoy mustard on my salad. Would have never thought that would be good. I also like Brian's sweet and smoky corn on my salad.
PLEASE write a cookbook 😊 love you guys🥰
I just started eating WFPB this week. Love all your videos.
I just made the weird orange soup today! So good!
Oh this is great. I'm watching this on my fast day!
Thanks for sharing! I got Covid so I fell off the wagon a bit... that + the season change... = 10 lb weight gain which is enough to give me a double chin that I don’t normally have. Not hating my body, but eager to get back to my healthy lifestyle ❤️
Hi, great video, thank you. Brian, have you ever done a video or a post on your website about spices and herbs? I tend to stick with salt, pepper, garlic, chilli powder and smoked paprika (my favourite) Would love to know a basic but more adventurous kit and some tips on what to use together etc.
Thanks from the south coast of the UK (between Southampton and Portsmouth) x
Thank you so much for sharing your tips and experiences! You guys are the best. Will definitely be checking the blog!
Yesss
I made your chili, and although I liked it, I hated the nutmeg and cinnamon, so next time I will leave it out. I loved that it used so many different beans.
Before you guys could say number 1 youtube played a commerical and i was like "oh come on" 😂
I tried the chili and it’s incredible. Yeah my son who doesn’t eat this way devoured it. Delish!
That's what I love to hear! 😀
Haha, as you guys said "Number one is", the commercial started!
This reset is such good timing for me ❤️❤️❤️
Perfect!😀
I just had a heart procedure yesterday and was weighed. I knew I had gained weight through this pandemic but was really shocked. So I too am going to start in December with my husband. Can you send monthly menus you used for weight loss? I will make your top 5’s from this video as they really look amazing. I would be so happy just to be off of the meds I’m on.
Brian & Jess, we need your help.
my boyfriend swears by nutmeg in mashed potato. every time he makes it, he grates fresh nutmeg into it! I personally prefer a bit of wholegrain mustard 😂 going grocery shopping tonight and definitely trying the hummus and the chilli!
Very interesting. I may have tried that before. Nutmeg can add a strange flavor if you use it too much.😀
I do the same, that’s who my grandmas made it :)
you guys are great love your videos and the information is top notch!
Thank you so much! 😀
Thanks for making the list. 🙏🏽 Very helpful! 👍🏼
Great idea on the nice cream Jessicca. Thanks! I gotta look for those little cups.
Roughage is essential, that’s why cotton balls are so healthy
🤔
Soups and salads are definitely in my top 5 as well! Great video!
I loved this video! So helpful for ideas.
I would love to see you guys make different flavoured hummus. My fave is Moroccan and dipping apple slices is sooo good but I haven’t found an oil free one yet. I knew no 1 was salad, I love me some salad. My fave topper is roasted bell peppers that I’ve dressed with balsamic vinegar and paprika. If you like spicy, balsamic and cumin is good too!
Love the blog , thanks for sharing definitely going to try them out.🤩
My favorite is your Tomato Chickpea sauce that was served with spaghetti squash! Yum!
Blog post is great, easy to find all of the written recipes. Thanks Jessica!
6 minutes ago, woohoo! Another fantastic video. I really need this one .
I love the chili! I can't wait to try the hummus!
I've tried the hummus and the chili and those were absolutely delicious! I'll probably leave out the cinnamon and nutmeg next time.... Not a fan of those. Thanks so much!
Love this video! Exactly what I needed. I love all of these recipes except I have not tried the weird soups. I will have to try them both. 😊
Which are the weird soups?
@@dreasmom2789 they call them their weird orange and green soups based on the color they are. If you search their videos for “weird orange soup” and “weird green soup” you will find them.
Thanks for this. I need to straighten out my eating habits again, and these suggestions will really help!
I love all of these and making all of them
I agree. This is the right time to start a "New Year's resolution". Why wait? Thank you for sharing and inspiring us.🙏💌👍
🌻❤️🎄Hi my name is Katie and I am new here. I had a rough month and someone told me to checkout your channel. I was down 90 pounds but this month I messed up. I look forward to watching your videos.
