Don't change the way you video, I watch because you are not a professional, but an everyday man!!

[@RaeCarson]

The world already has waaaaaay too many stuffy Type A cooking shows and hosts. You meet the rest of us where we're at. Thank you!! ❤

[@kanases]

@@RaeCarsonYes, a normal guy cooking!

[@kanases]

I like you Dave, down to earth and normal. I like that you left in the "I'm choking" part at the beginning, you're authentic!

[@patismith204]

I say keep talking. I love the fact that it is a normal person cooking.

[@kerrycockburncampbell3044]

Love your voice, and manner. I have add too. Don't have the voice though. Getting the sense of humour.

[@zazzyz4558]

The normal person thing is quite nice, but often one just doesn’t have the time.

[@greeneyes6311]

Keep talking!

[@deannaw9657]

It never ceases to amaze me that those who don't like certain content can't just keep scrolling. You do you, Dave! Don't go changing! ❤

[@MIMI-od7xg]

Could they just be A H. ?

[@angeesw]

Exactly.

[@cynthiafernandez2724]

Agreeeeeeed!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@lindam9618]

I agree. Trolls who have nothing better to do.

[@LizzyL2024]

It’s called COMMENT section for a reason. Why didn’t YOU just keep scrolling if you didn’t like the comment??

[@dannakinnaman7115]

Don't change a thing! You're very entertaining. I'm convinced there are haters who only watch videos to make critical and hurtful comments. I'm not sure what they get out of it. It sucks to be them. 😄😄😄

[@gratefultammy]

Good comment !

[@sarahjarrett2155]

Since I started watching your channel, cottage cheese is my new best friend! I've been keto for six years. I've made more of your recipes than any keto channel! Way to go Dave! ❤

[@gratefultammy]

That’s a nice compliment ! 😊

[@GipsyBlood]

How things have changed for you since then? Any significant fat loss, well being?

[@LadyBug..Reseller]

If you not a fan of cottage cheese .. ricotta cheese .. as a substitute.. I like ricotta for sweet recipes and cottage cheese for savory and I also like to blend cream cheese with Ricotta cheese .. just a suggestion.. these look good I would only use ricotta cheese ❤️❤️😀

[@AnitaSolution]

Great tip! Thanks!

[@flamingohead27]

Brilliant idea!

[@Brittn_wolf]

Please don't change the way you do your videos, I love this because I can relate to it and not feel alone when I struggle to cook in the kitchen while cooking or baking

[@imajem]

I like your talking and your cooking style. That's why I watch you.

[@nufsaid8503]

Squozen is my new word! Glad to have found this channel, need some low carb recipes and a few laughs! Thanks Dave.

[@nancatlin5402]

I enjoy watching you cooking, your humor is refreshing.

[@Margot5twofor53Oh]

For me, I come over here as a reseller and feel like it’s just hanging out with Dave. Not looking for a pro. We had the biscuits and gravy yesterday and enjoyed it a lot!

[@davewwjd]

Same, loved the biscuits and gravy, though I substituted turkey sausage for pork! Next time I'm omitting the salt from the biscuits though!

[@marianne-o4s6i]

Please don’t stop talking, I love the everyday persona as opposed to the big time chefs who are more like a scientist, all interested in subscriptions and motifs every 2 minutes. I like your videos just the way they are❤

[@Naturegirl55]

Love your style, Dave! If I ate 50 carbs a day I'd be a Blimp!!😆 20 or less is the usual, but I'm sure others have told you Erythritol is a "sugar alcohol" and doesn't count!👏 Also, we subtract the fiber from the total carbs, so, even more good news!

[@vickibermudez6238]

Your videos are GREAT just the way you do them..DON'T CHANGE

[@kathi1866]

I enjoy your channel and your trial and errors. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@janp7660]

Greek yogurt and chocolate protein powder tastes like pudding. Easy peasy. I love these easy desserts. And I eat the whole thing, I'm not good with portion control 😮

[@gracewygal1423]

Good idea! I’m not good with portion control either watching this. I’m thinking I just eat the whole thing.😂

[@Debbie-Savings]

[@leahrowe847]

Ahhhh Dave, you're the GOAT! I love the improv & talking don't change bc of Negative Nellie's being Negative!

[@Bedalouwho]

Can’t wait to try the lemon cheesecake bites. Being a widow they don’t make an enormous amount. I like that. I love watching you cook. You remind me of me even though I’m a female. I cook very little now but still like to dabble in the kitchen. Keep up the good work . 😊😊

[@ClarityDetermination]

I'm with you.

[@donnalevy4377]

For cleaning the Ninja: put hot soap water in the bowl (pretty full) and then turn it on. You’ll still need to wipe down the electric part but it will get the big stuff off

[@Dreamerlilly]

The great thing about cottage cheese is protein it has. Which is why it’s more nutritious and satisfying.

[@emilycruz2359]

But compared to Greek yogurt ?

[@Dreamerlilly]

@@emilycruz2359I just looked at both my cottage cheese and Greek yogurt… 1/2 cup cottage cheese had 16 grams protein and 3/4 cup Greek yogurt had 18. I do use both in a lot of my recipes. For me it depends on the taste I’m looking for, but it seems that they are both about the same.

[@mystix008]

Bravo for reading the recipe first! Please, please do not change anything. I am a pro cook, and I love watching your show. It is fun, creative and errors are made and usually fixed right away. The only thing I would suggest is the wash your new appliance toys before preparing food with them, and use soapy water. I was cringing so hard watching you make waffles on your new filthy waffle iron :)

[@CatherineHurley-wk8ef]

"Pre-squozen" - I love it! Just started watching your videos, wasn't too sure about all the chat at first... but now I'm right into it - talk away! Very happy to watch and listen 🙂

[@1525kat]

Oh Dave - I understand not having all the ingredients in your kitchen, but you can't not use an important ingredient. The berry dessert needed the Chia seeds. When put in the fridge, the seeds will expand and suck the moisture out of the cottage cheese making it a more pudding like dessert. We make various chia seed puddings for a family member who has many food allergies. But, you are delightful to watch because yes, you are the 'every man's cook' - sort of winging it, not doing it 'right' but loving the process!

[@glitterwitch718]

😊 that's cool I didn't know that about the seeds. I just up and eat them lol 😅

[@1525kat]

@@glitterwitch718 they are good for you as is, but they are really handy in baking (or anything you need to thicken up).

[@vivianspringer5142]

It sounds yummy to me! My Husband wouldn't like the Chia seeds anyway.

[@alleysouza7200]

The name of the video is ‘in 15 minutes’, the chia seeds need to sit for a while to do their thing, 15min is not enough, which would defeat the outdoors if the video…

[@Maite5]

@@alleysouza7200you don’t need to refrigerate the chia seeds, it is still delicious. I substitute the artificial sweetener with honey.

[@sandybrown1263]

I love your videos, do not change a thing!!!!❤

[@angeesw]

I actually like you talking. There are some who talk and it seems they speak just because they enjoy hearing themselves speak which causes me to stop watching, but that is not the case with you. I love your personality on the camera, you appear quite friendly and excited without seeming phony. Lastly, when you talk I find it helpful, interesting and sometimes funny. Keep up the good work. Glad I found your channel.

[@darktoylord]

Yeah. I definitely love your current format. Keep on talking. It makes your videos more entertaining.

[@glitterwitch718]

Dave I use to work at a specialty cheesecake store. We made them fresh in house & a family secret recipe 😋 we made bites, cakes & bars. Our bars were frozen slices of the cheesecake w/ a popsicle stick to hold it & dipped. Dip it in chocolate, cake crumbles, sprinkles crumbled cookies etc. It's not a healthy snack but OMG so good especially on hot days

[@julierobertson1879]

Yes! You keep talking and do things the way you do them. It looks like many people love it. I very much enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@SearchingNewAdventures]

Dave don't change, your videos are fine. It's your personality that we are all drawn to.❤❤❤❤

[@CookingWthDave]

I appreciate that

[@amandawaite-jones4000]

Dave I’m in the UK I love watching you Cook the Keto recipes. Loved the cloud bread pizza base. Most of all I enjoy the way you cook, make mistakes and learn by them as you go along. It’s nothing we haven’t all done ourselves, you are fun to watch and I enjoy cooking with you. Keep going Dave, you are so entertaining xx

[@notthepolice1705]

Because erythritol is a sugar alcohol, it can be subtracted from total carbohydrates when calculating net carbs. Net carbs are the carbohydrates that are fully digested by the body. For example, a teaspoon of erythritol has about four grams of total carbs, but zero net carbs.

[@marianneodell7637]

I find erythritol…..yucky. Bought some in powdered form to make chocolate frosting for my keto microwave cupcake. 🤢 First time in my life I had to FORCE myself to finish a cupcake. (I hate to waste anything so I wasn’t going to trash it)

[@pamelakoretsky9909]

Not all sugar alcohols can be 100% subtracted. Many only 50% as they cause a delayed sugar spike.

[@Asa-wv1zb]

Recent resesrch shows that eating erythritol increase blood clot formation that increase the risk of heart attack or stroke so it should not be consumed in dessert quantities. It naturally exists in nature but in tiny amounts when consumed. The keto and low carb community started using large quantities for cakes, cookies, desserts etc and this is way over the tiny safe amount you'd get naturally and they now know these larger amounts is not safe.

[@vixwolf2037]

​@@pamelakoretsky9909erythritol is the one with the least sugar spike out of all of the sugar alcohols

[@MARZOSIRUS]

​@@pamelakoretsky9909Allulose and erithrotol do not spike glucose.

[@lynne3830]

No no no no no don't stop talking! We love the conversation, the laughs, and the recipes!

[@KC-jz8kz]

I just started watching you. I love your humor and your sweetness. You and the keto twin should do a video together. That would be so fun to watch!!!

[@shelleyn.8503]

You had me at chocolate mousse! You keep talking, Dave, you make me smile every time. 🙂

[@clairehampton986]

I drizzle a little bit of honey on cottage cheese along with berries. Very good. My kids would never eat fruit on cottage cheese no matter what. Some chopped walnuts would be good, too.

[@Gods_blessings.4]

The point is to make them keto friendly. So honey is out of the question.

[@rosepaul9681]

Not everyone watching is doing keto. Low carb people can use a little honey. There are keto friendly honey substitutes too. ​@@Gods_blessings.4

I love your videos, I am so glad you keep it real. I am looking forward to trying the chocolate mousse and the lemon cheesecake bites (I love lemon!). With the cheesecake bites, I was kind of surprised the little crusts didn't get baked for a few minutes, I'll still try them, though! Your taste test (even though you were choking) sold me!

[@Linda-k1d]

Thank you so much for recipes containing erythritol since allulose hasn't been approved in Europe or Canada! I'm never sure if substituting it in US recipes would result in the same flavour and texture. I enjoy your recipes and your rather unconventional baking talents! :)

[@vivianspringer5142]

Thanks Dave again...my Husband wants cookies every evening. I even call him my Cookie Monster, but certainly know he love either the chocolate mouse or the Berry thing! I fo often give him cottage cheese or Greek Yogurt with peaches or blueberries. I know they have less carbs than the cookies he buys! So, I'm trying. Then the little pie like things look good too. I recently made Pecan Pie bars with all Keto ingredients and as I liked it hecdwas nit going gaga over it! Darn...thanks!

I like watching your videos. You are entertaining and the recipes look easy and delicious.

[@CookingWthDave]

Thanks

[@KandyLamb]

Love what you're doing, Dave! Honest cooking and trying your best. Regarding the sweeteners... I've done some light research and switched to only Allulose as my keto sweetener. It doesn't have sugar alcohols to give anyone tummy issues, and isn't toxic to pets like xylitol. It doesn't have aftertaste like stevia or monk fruit or the cooling sensation like erythritol. All you have to do is use a little bit more than called for as it is 70% as sweet as sugar. But it has ZERO carbs. Anyway, thought that might be something you'd want to consider. Good luck on your Keto journey.

[@CookingWthDave]

I appreciate it!

[@sandradugan7513]

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel stay just the way you are!! I love chocolate mousse I would definitely be using this chocolate mousse recipe with cottage cheese unfortunately I'd rather use organic sugar then fake sugar so it'll have carbs but that's okay it has more protein.I think cottage cheese has more protein than Greek yogurt which I'm more of a fan of the protein.
