No bashing please. Take deep breathe and appreciate (absorb) all this valuable information and post positive comments please! Chef AJ and Kenny, fantastic video!

[@faithrada]

I was able to break the Butter / Oil habit once I discovered good quality Balsamic Vinegar. Wow... what a game changer!

[@AngelaCruzTube]

Faith Rada I bought some because Chef AJ recommends it!

[@lynnlevy5061]

Where can you buy this vintage?

[@faithrada]

@@lynnlevy5061 I order my Balsamic Vinegar from a place in Chicago... called Old Town Oil & Vinegar. It's a bit 'high end'.. but worth it. I give it as gifts around Christmas... including to 'moi' It's almost like a dessert wine... sweet.

[@christinakarlhoff1058]

"If you're not hungry enough to eat your veggies then you not truly hungry." That is UWL gospel!

[@jacquelinewalker3713]

I do love veggie and I will be eating more of them.

[@tammi67able]

Lol

[@2winlock]

Thank you Kenny for all your hard work behind the camera and fielding questions for Chef AJ while she's busy cooking! You Rock!

[@AR-mu4zq]

She was clearly annoyed with him.

[@chanjan9294]

Thank you Kenny

[@jamesschwartz3963]

Stop being a pickme, stop making it about men, this is all about Chef AJ.

[@JillMcKeever]

🙌WOOT WOOT🙌 THANK YOU for the shout out, Chef AJ! I'll see you at HealthFest in Marshall, Texas!!!

[@timbemann]

You're Awesome Jill!

[@typeagoneastray7383]

I hope your birthday was wonderful! Thank you for doing these broadcasts, I wait for them every week!

[@janeiltaitai5385]

Happy Belated Birthday to Chef AJ!!! We love your work and so glad you took last week off to celebrate.

[@luisaespinosablasco]

Thank you chef AJ! I loved this episode! It was great to see how the veggies are prepared. Thanks for your hard work, L xx

[@beckeebuckeye0049]

Whew! Love your information but I just cannot keep up! Kenny you rock!

[@karisakirkman510]

Thank you so much for the recipes and food ideas! Everything looked delicious!

[@theresajurrus6307]

You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for your hard work providing these great videos. Love you!

[@gonewiththekale]

You are aging BACKWARDS, AJ! Happy belated birthday!! I look forward to these vids from you, I love being in your kitchen!! This video was so fabulous with all your tips and tricks💚

[@missiris1234]

Having trouble getting my hubby to eat vegetables lately. He is going through a rebellious teenage stage. My sister in law lives with us and she is on board. More veggies for us!

[@susiemouse]

AJ, it helps so much to see how veggies can be fixed to actually taste good. I am not very skilled, but with your prep hints, I'm improving!

[@kimbersutherland8950]

Love it, thank you Chef AJ!

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

I've eaten SO MANY vegetables the last 2 days since starting to watch your videos, and I've dropped 1.5 lbs! I'm already pretty small, but I had put on 7 lbs during my last trip, eating absolute JUNK the entire time because we were hiking and camping and it was almost impossible to do anything but pack with anything but lightweight processed garbage. I only have 1 more lb left to lose to be back to my pre-trip weight from 2 weeks ago - WOOOOO!!

[@soniama5246]

[@marge201]

That Johnny Carson appearance was amazing! I'm watching this on youtube but haven't seen it live so I can't comment. Can't wait to get your book so I can see that sauce you used over your veggies. You are endlessly interesting! I'm a size 4 but it's an effort to stay this size and your stuff is fascinating!

[@robynmarie2977]

Love your cooking tips Chef AJ!

[@vi3472]

Brilliant and inspiring video, Chef AJ! You have so much energy! I watched your Johnny Carson video, hilarious! My favorite vegetable is a mixed of roasted vegetables, but I love the carrots most. Thanks for the cookbook recommendations. I don’t have an instant pot or air fryer yet, but I’m working on it. 🥕🍠🍓You really brought home the fact that if you’re not hungry to eat vegetables, you are experiencing emotional hunger. So true! Last night I wanted “something crunchy” so I ate dry cereal. Case in point! Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

[@deedeemac]

You are such an inspiration. I am so grateful for you and your energy. I’m transitioning from a low carb for diabetes to No Fat Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle. I love it but need you on a daily basis. Thank you. I’m glad all your previous videos are so available. Your book is fabulous.

[@NLR759]

Thanks for the inspiration on how to prepare vegetables in a tasty and easy way. I receive a tonne of home grown veggies from my parents' garden, and now have much better ideas on how to prepare and consume the volume of food that is crowding my fridge. I ate zucchini (roasted in the oven the night before) before my breakfast oats this morning. That was the very first time I have done that in my life! I am going to try your mushroom & kale saute next. Thanks sooooo much for these informative videos. The energy you exude speaks to how healthy you are from eating this way. There is no more powerful message than practicing what you preach.

[@maitefornes8526]

i love all your videos!!! you always put a smile on my face, and everything makes so much sense! :)

[@MidLifeThoughts]

Thanks Chef AJ! I really enjoy all your videos. They are really helpful too!

[@leighn.8670]

Just saw you on Plant Based News Top 100 Influential Vegans so congratulations! I'm super happy I found you, your videos are awesome. I love your personality and your cooking tips. You've convinced me to buy a pressure cooker!

[@auntdayskitchen6315]

Great show and I can't wait to try those Brussel sprouts I already love them and that just sounds delicious

[@susanraygoza1073]

thank you Chef! i love my instant pot! and the advice and recipes too! thanks for all you do 🌱💜

[@healthyhigherminds2978]

BLESSINGS TO YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY & THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM.

[@carolmittelstadt3348]

Kenny is funny, trying to keep up with Chef AJ, LOL, He's a riot with his comments, cute!

[@tracycurrent6078]

I love this episode. I learned so much I am trying to add more veggies looks yummy

[@tammi67able]

Thank you chef Aj, I’m so inspired by you, I’m in my 50’s and weight loss is a super slow process, When I was in my teens , 20’s and 30 ‘s I could always lose weight at the drop of a hat, but I couldn’t keep it off! In my 40’s took forever to lose weight and now 50’s losing weight for me is nearly impossible, I love veggies cooking in butter or oil, but now without butter, oil or salt, I hate veggies, but with this video I think I can enjoy veggies this way, I became a vegan a couple of months ago, but I would really like to lose some more weight, I really like your positivity and your advice and also at your age it gives me hope that perhaps I too can lose weight and keep it off for life! I subscribed to your channel, thank you, God bless you!!

[@missiris1234]

I use my Instant Pot every day! Thanks AJ. Very rarely use my Air Fryer anymore. I like the quantity you can cook in the Instant Pot since there are 3 of us here.

[@debbiemoran6258]

You look fantastic for 57! I missed you last week, hope you had a lovely birthday 💖

Thumbs up for AJ's education....thumbs down for Kenny talking.......Thanks AJ for making eating healthy look easy and taste amazing!

[@MrRibby88]

Thank you....the brussel sprouts tasted like a dessert! Only 150 calories of reduced balsamic helped me easily eat an entire 1 lb. bag of sprouts.

[@scotgirl4703]

Great tip Chef AJ on the pineapple with kale! PS Kenny's comments are hilarious!

Chef A J ,I'm new to KZbin.I am not tech savvy.

I just bought your book The secrets to ultimate Weight Loss .I am maybe a little under weight , but I love vegetables . Trying to watch all your videos and loving them.Thank you so much ☘️

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you

[@michaelacevedo4822]

Beautifully explained. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes👌🥗👏

[@OkieGal2]

Oh my gosh what a powerhouse episode!!

[@crystalduncan1487]

oooh I'm gonna try the pineapple and kale. I don't crave veggies in the morning but I need to try this. BTW I saw your Brussels sprouts recipe on one of your previous webinars and they're THE best. Even my husband loves them. Do you have a favorite way to eat asparagus? PS: I always watch these on KZbin because unfortunately I'm working all day. So thank you for sharing these!!!

[@kristylinton8449]

Thank you for this video. So true about the withdrawals off of psychological medications! Truly pailes compared to sugar and caffeine addiction.

[@lluke575]

Very ambitious video!!!

[@debbyb8906]

I bought the Instant Pot after watching a few of your videos and it is the best money I have ever parted with. I love it...now I'm drooling over the air fryer.

[@ruthtorphy2204]

Happy birthday.Welcome to the club🎂

[@irmacruz7771]

I'm losing a consistently of 1-2lbs a week now :) Always look forward to all ur videos every week n all ur helpful advice!!!

[@shannonhollister4294]

[@beatsbites2942]

Save Kenny!

[@dinamariea61]

You look fabulous Chef AJ. I love your shirt and your makeup is out of this world. Oh yeah and now the veggies. 😁. We should eat the veggies so we look as wonderful as you. Thank you so much for the cooking demos.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you I turn 60 tomorrow!

[@jeanro243]

Thank you for all your amazing recipes....love you guys..👏

[@hydyho6305]

Damn you look great for 57! Happy Birthday, chef AJ! ❤

[@deborahheaney6601]

Love your videos, these recipes are so good. I’ve just started my vegan diet and was stuck with recipes. I am turning 50 next month and I need to lose two stone. Your recipes are hopefully going to help. Thank you 😊

[@CHEFAJ]

I have a book with over 100 slimming recipes

[@backyardbreeze112]

I think you are onto something with eating vegetables for breakfast. I love veggies, but normally don't eat enough of them. I'm trying to go vegan ( I find dairy to be the main issue) and so I came across your videos. I made a tofu scramble with 2 cups of kale, a red pepper, some onion and garlic this morning and it was both satisfying and filling. I have recently discovered smoothie bowls, thanks to other vegan youtubers and while I love them, I don't do well with sweet things in the morning. Thank you for your insight and your videos. I wouldn't have thought about making veggies my main go-to breakfast, but I definitely see the benefits. I have added both an instant pot and an air fryer to my Xmas/Birthday list. Did you say there is a discount available for mentioning your name? If so can you tell me the code again? Thank you!

[@suzannecoveley6545]

Hi Chef AJ! I just wanted to THANK YOU

[@suzannecoveley6545]

Absolutely! Especially if I can fill in those fat calories with something more delicious and nutritious like homemade hummus (protein AND fiber! More bang for the buck AND the bite)! :D

[@SafiarTaliaferro]

Great video. Happy Belated Birthday.

[@2winlock]

Happy Birthday Wishes to you dear Chef AJ

Hello chef AJ fibre energy great cooking

I’ll keep saying thank you chef AJ for all your info 💕💕💕

You are so welcome!

[@andreasmith533]

This is a good time for me--4:00 pm PST (I'm on Eastern Time). Always fascinating!

[@MyFrankr]

Thank you Kenny I'm so tuned in to aj talking I don't really notice the interruption lol😜

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@Spirit4me1]

I had to watch the Johnny Carson show after you mentioned it. That was funny! You had the same energy level back then!!

[@janicehart5397]

Thank you for this interesting video. I am new to this concept, having lived forever being told that starches were bad for you and promoted weight gain. I love potatoes, I love brown and white rice, I love certain vegetables (I believe I am a mushroom-aholic) and enjoy many different types. I do like to snack, but now I snack on baby carrots, raw zucchini, cukes and the like. Is it an issue to snack on raw veggies?

[@barbaralong8665]

A local restaurant used to make a carrot top pesto. It was delish but had olive oil and sunflower seeds so fat was high even though vegan.

[@larryprimeau7738]

AJ you look and sound great!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@SofiaNairMorna]

Happy Birthday!

[@froschkonig5703]

Congratulations!

[@JLKopas]

You two are so hilarious together. I was laughing so hard I was in tears! Love this channel. Thank you for all your help.

[@islandwatergirl]

Hi chef AJ! I love your videos, I do have to say you look better with less makeup than more💕

[@melissacostello3000]

I already ate oatmeal for breakfast but this is making me crave veggies

[@jeannetteturner3948]

Brilliant I'm so glad that there are more vegan people around cooking healthy vegan food. Thank you for all this wonderful information. This is exactly what I've been looking for! I have a question, how can I flavour food without onions and garlic or any vegetable of the allium family as I am totally allergic to them, they make me feel ill and I don't like them either.

[@CHEFAJ]

That's tough if you don't use salt

[@Caracaya]

I love your videos, AJ. Thank you for all the great information. I do have to agree with the previous comments, though; the interruptions from Kenny are not only pointless but very distracting. I think the quality of the video would drastically improved if such distractions would be removed.

[@juliejoseph2201]

I’m enjoying Brussel sprouts with California Balsalmic Sweet Heat right now.

[@CHEFAJ]

Yum!! Love that combo.

[@frandemaline8604]

Have been curious about airfryer, looks great.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@linzertube]

Happy Belated Birthday, Chef AJ!🍆🍠🌰🌺🌸🌼

[@lesliesmith7312]

I like cabbage and leeks cooked together with crispy potatoes on the side.

[@aditikaria534]

Hi I love watching your shows loved the one with Kiki but would like to know where the most amount Of protein comes from thank you

[@suzanneleblanc1077]

My Dr. had me on anti-depressants for 10years, I successfully got down the dosage but the last 37.5 Mg. I thought I was going mad! It was so hard, i had to stay away from people for 3 weeks!

[@phyllisgordon6577]

Your skin has such a healthy glow. Thanks for sharing your lifestyle choices. I am going to try to no salt, no fat, no sugar diet. My only worrybus that I am already thin.

[@CHEFAJ]

Phyllis Gordon thank you

[@fruitascension5089]

Thanks so much 🙄

[@deborahhopper1070]

Wow Chef AJ, I have never made food without oil that is amazing, everything looks so fresh and delicious, I am on a mission to weight- loss, I'm considering a plant base diet since I have been on several diets, looks like meat base isn't working for me, Thanks for sharing.

[@CHEFAJ]

Please consider joining our program.

[@kelseymartin1005]

Hi AJ. High carb Hannah and her husband Derek howlett created an instant pot specific vegan cookbook. I really think you'd love it!

[@gonewithscarlett]

Lettuce Choose Plants Hannah and her husband recycle recipes we've all made as vegans, whereas Chef AJ is a professionally trained plant-based chef who's been at it for YEARS and also works with real doctors and health-based institutions regarding vegan food and living. You really should be checking out Chef AJ's book!

[@kelseymartin1005]

vegan happy I was just mentioning it because she sometimes recommends vegan cookbooks to her followers and I had never heard her mention this one. I didn't mean for it to sound like I thought Chef AJ should be learning from her or anything. I just thought a likeminded person would appreciate her recipes :)

[@Vixxen___904]

I love all of Hannah's cookbooks! I don't have an instant pot yet though so I haven't really tried any of those recipes yet.

[@yellowbmblbee]

You're missing out if you don't know this couple....they're amazing. positive, empowering, and smart! Hannah lost 70 lbs on the mcDougall diet and still maintaining after a long time. Look up her channel: High Carb Hannah.

[@ritusharma6418]

AJ you are so good with what you are doing. I can see how you motivate people to eat vegetables. You can also just how to cook tasty meals but you are doing so good to the world by telling them to eat healthy. Recently I became intolerant to vinegars and red chillies ( in fact all chillie powders) including black pepper as I used too much red chillies in my food that affected my stomach lining. Can you please suggest how I can add flavour to the food without vinegar and chillies. Thanks in advance.

[@CHEFAJ]

Fresh herbs work great!

[@beanburrito8903]

Absolutely It is a mindset. People can eat a whole pint of ice cream and a whole packet of Oreo cookies shooting up to 1200 calories in one sitting, but when people see a giant salad or a giant serving of Brussels, they think they can't eat it because they are programmed.

[@MyFrankr]

Hi Chef Aj I am really enjoying your videos You have struck a cord in me cause I can't stop watching 😁 just wanted to say thank You so much for investing in us with your knowledge and your caring attitude 💖💖 God Bless✨✨

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@alexbrynna]

Chef aj cannot be phased

So encouraged with your positivity and solid information.... starting today on this new journey. A step at a time. Thank you for your hands on videos....

[@CHEFAJ]

Fantastic!!

[@elizabethmanning267]

Loving the renewed energy and my sister, who has been ill, saw me go from struggling with health issues to a better quality of life and started on this now. For the both of us it is more about health and the loss of weight is the icing on the cake. (Although we would both love to have your glowing complexion !) THANK YOU !! Down 10 pounds but more importantly, walking with more strength....
