    It was really great to have a check-in from you two. Take your time, and come back as and when it feels right for you both. We'd rather have the best, most authentic version of yourselves than some forced, uninspired, and burnt out version. In the meantime, we can go and re-re-watch all of the amazing content you've given us for years. ❤❤❤

I'm so happy to see you're both doing well and taking some much needed time to yourself, but i'm also just so happy to see you and i hope to see you guys continue to post on youtube again (as long as it's for your own enjoyment and it's something you find fulfillment from). Love you both so much

    @markfeathers Před 25 dny +1

    Great to see a video! Just a quick salad comment, my recent favorite salad topping is crispy mushrooms. 15 @400 in air fryer (flavor pass) then dehydrate for 2-3 hours. Either sliced or quartered work well. As far as Jasmines comments on chia pudding, I don’t just think it’s disturbing to look at but the texture always gets me too.

  • @belindaknowles7440

    I so very understand your decision to shift to other platforms and I appreciate you jumping in even from time to time!

I hope you'll reconnect with what was fun for you and make some long format content every so often :)

    Looks like a great TJ haul. I'll have to try some of these. I tried their new frozen vegan Pad See-ew yesterday and it is INCREDIBLE.

    • @ireallylovecilantro
      @ireallylovecilantro Před 25 dny

    omg so fun to see you back on CZcams! I totally get it - burn out can be really tough - take your time!! What a treat to have you back for a Trader Joe’s taste test. I was hoping for a Berry or Louie cameo, but I see them on Instagram, so I’ll give you a pass 😂❤.

  • @555tracy
    @555tracy Před 23 dny

    Thanks for the food reviews! That chia pudding dish at the end sounds like it could be good as a topper or dip for toasted bagels or english muffins or something. I’m a chia pudding fan but yeah totally agree that looking at it is weird lol. Starts to look like amphibian eggs or ?? Eeek

  • @anniexo3179
    @anniexo3179 Před 25 dny

    NEEED those cheese cracker things!! Also, kinda suprised that yall liked the breakfast sausage- I actually genuinely find it repulsive but it was good to see that you, and probably others, enjoy it! :)

  • @malice41414

  • @plantaetivoli1178
    @plantaetivoli1178 Před 25 dny

    I missed you guys! I really love longer videos and vlogs even if that means I can't keep up with you all. I follow too many Instagramers ang don't see all notifications .... and can't stand TIKTOK ( where everybody is flocking to). You Tube is my Vegan Heaven where I can forget (for more than 60 secs) that I don't live in a non-vegan world and feel more connected to the community and less of an outcast. Please make more CZcams videos 🥰

    The cheese crackers are interesting. There’s so many out there that are cauliflower based and tasteless. 😭 It’s hard to find a good one that isn’t from Earth Balance. Thanks for the recommendation!
    I almost bought the Jumeokbap last time but it was pricey for three. 👀 If y’all love it maybe I should try.

    I miss you 2. I don't do the other platforms. In the past you had this garden, and hinted at your cultures. Those take a lotof time. But it seemed to be what you'rer doing. Then some doggies. a couple episodes while sick. So what are you doing now? Consider pg hidden camera with music. You are so fun. Welcome back.

    • @uhhhhh4748

    Sooo... my Trader Joe's must be slipping 😆. I live in Dallas, sooo.. I was excited, but the three stores I went to were definitely NOT the Vegan meccas I was hoping for. However, I did find a few things..including finding that the Traders Joe's Wine is Vegan & that made me happy!
