In the Kitchen: Breakfast to supper - a day of food from the garden.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Mornings should be illegal, in my opinion, so I empathize Vivi! Happy to see this video too, as I've just been gifted with a Bullet blender and needed some ideas! Yay!

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahahahaha.....oh my word, illegal mornings...yes! Thank you for making me laugh so hard I nearly wet my knicks!

[@rickvangunten4800]

What dedication. filming minutes after rolling out of bed.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahahaha - it nearly flippin' killed me. ;-)

[@TerrieAllred2023]

Hi from North Carolina, USA! Love your videos! Have a blessed day!

[@WhatVivididnext]

Thank you.....and you have a wonderful day too! :-)

[@wiktoriaholmstrom9013]

Yes! Please make one for Autumn, Winter and Spring as well. Useful to know what you eat during the hunger gap for example.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Will do! Thank you. :-)

[@robinshealthkwest6848]

I loved this video and would enjoy more like this , especially on how you prepare your garden produce

[@WhatVivididnext]

I'm hoping to do a few more as the seasons change. :-)

[@CupcakeBaker1982]

I’d like to see your winter eating day. Enjoyed this vid. It gave me loads of ideas for using the produce from my garden. Xxxx

[@WhatVivididnext]

Cheers Kat......I'm now planning to do an autumn 'day' too. :-)

[@TheRenexxxxxx]

I love this video and I would love a winter one as well! Maybe smoothies for breakfast is a great idea. I am never hungry in the morning either.

[@WhatVivididnext]

The smoothies are great for me as I always used to skip breakfast and that's so unhealthy. :-)

[@TheRenexxxxxx]

What Vivi did next I am just not hungry until 3 in the afternoon but I think if I made something like this I may actually drink it and not be starving by 3

[@NebraskaDav]

Vivi, very interesting post. I have always been a morning person. There's no better way to spend time then to watch the world wake up in the morning with a steaming cup of coffee. Americans are heavy coffee drinkers. I've had to cut back on coffee as it causies my ears to have ringing so I've made up for it by drinking .... you guessed it, tea. Most people here in Nebraska drink iced tea but I'm not too thrilled about that beverage. My tea is hot with lemon. The Chinese version of green tea is my favorite. I'm not too particular about how it's made. I just put the water in the cup and microwave the water then put in the tea and lemon. Yeah, I know it breaks all the rules about English tea. I even use instant tea most of the time. Yes, I see you cringing. I too have a Nuti-bullet. I used to make smoothies for my grandson with fruit, yogurt, and fruit juice. It was a way to get him to eat fruit and yogurt. I probably should do that for myself. My breakfast is many times cooked oatmeal with yogurt and a banana mixed in. Supper for me is no later than 6 p.m. and better if it's about 4 or 5 p.m. My digestive tract doesn't like undigested food in the stomach when I lay me down to sleep. My day does not have a routine as each day is its own day so eating is usually at different times every day. At any given instance the phone can ring and I'm off to help with some project. I do like that kind of lifestyle were one moment I'm sipping a drink and the next I'm moving a table or something. Life is good. Thank so much for giving us a peek at your daily routine. May your day be filled with joy, laughter, and peaceful moments of positive reflection. Nebraska Dave

[@WhatVivididnext]

Oh my giddy goodness......even though I haven't drunk tea for years my poor little toes just curled up at your prep description!!! Hahahahaha. :-) I, too, like my more flexible day as it is now.........sometimes I don't feel like eating, other times I'm starving and can't stop........but there's no-one with a stop-watch hanging around me to tell me my 'lunch break' is over........love it! Happy scoffing whenever we feel like! :-)

[@terrysheehan9831]

I love getting ideas from what other people eat. It gives me inspiration to change things up and try new combinations. Great video!

Hi Viv, I started thinking your kitchen door was haunted lol, opening by itself. Cooler weather next week thankfully ☺

Hot lemon with tumer-check, potato salad, yup. Greek salad oh yeah best out of your garden (our favorite), and night time snack soup (for me at that time I'm snoring in bed lol ) wonderful video! Fun to watch your day. Have a great day! 😆

Aww....cheers lovely......and have a fabbo day yourself. :-)

[@claudiaebert7842]

Vivi, You cracked the 6000. Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big hug Claudia

[@WhatVivididnext]

Thank you dear Claudia.....in truth the number matters far less to me than the lovely interactions I have with you all. :-)

[@claudiaebert7842]

That's true! And you know, which is the best. Everyone can ask the other questions, everyone supports or helps out. Although we all do not know each other privately. It has emerged in this relatively short time a very strong community. You have built up with a lot of empathy, strength and honesty and a lot of love. Claudia

[@WhatVivididnext]

I completely love this little community we have built together. :-)

[@sundaririckwood3771]

I love this Vivi, definitely do an autumn and winter one!

[@WhatVivididnext]

Thank you - yes, I think I probably will. :-)

[@northernkarma9296]

Adding: I would love to see what you cook up for Christmas time!

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahaha - I was just thinking about Christmas after your last comment. ;-)

[@blueponyfarm1962]

Thank you for this video! I'm sure all your veggie and vegan viewers identify with being asked, "What do you eat? " I'd really love to see more cooking videos, more of your own recipes and ideas for simple meals using our own produce. Maybe you could do a video like this each month of the year, showing how you transition from all fresh summer ingredients into the winter months and utilizing your store of dried, frozen etc. 🌱🐝

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hmmmmm.......might see if I can do that......once a month would be really interesting (for me at least! ;-) - to look back on)........I'll see if I can squeeze it in. :-)

[@mollysmith6055]

This was a great video, Vivi. I'm grateful to whoever urged you to make it...gives a lot of good ideas. Have you thought of taking a food rasp and getting off that gorgeous rind from your lemons before you use them? So much easier to do when they are whole and then it is an extra product to get to use flavouring your meals. Thank you for all the trouble it took to make this video, I really appreciate it! edit: Yes, please do this again in the winter! And maybe also in Spring when your stores are beginning to get low, I'm certain your creativity shines then.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Yes I think I will do more of this video as the seasons go on.......I think it will be really useful for some folk......and a good record for me. :-)

[@CatherinesGardenHomeLWS]

I want to eat more from my vegetable garden too. Thank you for sharing your day!

[@WhatVivididnext]

Thank you. :-)

[@DeltaDonnaLynn]

What a great idea! I'd be very happy if you did this for us once in a while so we can see how your dishes change over the seasons!

[@WhatVivididnext]

It seems like folk think that would be a good idea......so I might give it a go. :-)

[@maudschoenaker5109]

Thanks Vivi that was so interesting to see what you're eating/cooking in a day. I recognized a lot of what I am cooking/ feeding to the family. Great to get this look into your daily meals. I also use the skin of my lemons as there is so much goodness in them. Sorry this is the schoolmistress-bit in me. Loved your video.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahahaha, that's OK.....unleash your inner schoolmistress. :-) Thank you Maud. :-)

[@soojackson5276]

Yet another fab video...dear Vivi...did you know that you were a huge reason I have not only almost gone completely veggie, but am now transitioning into becoming Vegan...how inspirational are you wahaeee !!!!!! No milk or eggs or meat now for over 4 months....still struggling with cheese though and alcohol....xxxx

[@WhatVivididnext]

Wow.....I hope you feel healthier for the changes. Hmm, yes, cheese and beer are my two naughties too. ;-)

[@WhatVivididnext]

Ooooh, the thought of olive oil and lemon juice makes me salivate......yay, roll on summer! 😊

[@marybrooks5273]

Hi Vivi, I made your courgette soup this weekend. It is absolutely delicious, so rich and creamy. Will definitely become a regular make. Thank you so much for sharing your garden and recepies with us.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Oh I'm so glad you tried it and liked it! Yay! :-)

[@kelbeegee4454]

I know this is an old video but wanted to mention incase you were unaware, that it's important to soak the flax seeds to breakdown the coating so your body can absorb the nutrients. I usually soak a couple of tablespoons overnight in water or if I forget I just soak them in a bit of water while I'm preparing my smoothie and then just tip (don't strain) it into my smoothie.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Absolutely......or mill them first for the same effect. 😊

[@booksandpieces]

I remember on a River Cottage episode once, Hugh F-W called his smoothies with oats 'thickies' and now that's how I always think of them in my head!

[@WhatVivididnext]

[@smezley50]

Vivi, try a chopped pickled gherkin in the potato salad makes all the difference

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahahaha - no!!!! I'll run a mile away from a pickled gherkin! ;-)

[@livelaughloveeveryday4100]

Thanks for the video, Vivi. I've wondered about your veggie meals. I like having a smoothie in the mornings as well. I haven't used oatmeal yet as a substitute for when I run out of bananas, I''ll have to try that. I made a veggie lunch today, thin sliced potatoes layered in a casserole dish with shredded cabbage and onion. Topped with a little smidge of cheese and baked. It was really good. I need to lower my cholesterol - I'm going to be making some of your soups, I love soup and your recipes look delish.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Oooooh, your bake sounds lovely! Good job! :-)

[@liart6219]

Hello Vivi, that’s a lot of healthy eating :-) I was looking at your breakfast thinking about my only cup of coffee and how I don’t get any thing serious done before after lunch . I better learn from you and start my days in a better way. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@WhatVivididnext]

I struggled to eat breakfast for years.......but after having experienced days which began at 04.30 and ended at 22.30 without a morsel to eat I began to force myself to have these smoothies.......I'm so glad I did.....they are habit now and I hardly have to think about it. ;-)

[@veronicawhite398]

What a lovely catch-up in the kitchen, Vivi. Like minds, eh? 😉

[@WhatVivididnext]

Cheers Veronica. :-)

[@Willaren]

great ideas Vivi. Love your cooking videos. Your dishes are so pretty. Ironically one of your ads was for "beef, it's what's for dinner"

[@WhatVivididnext]

Oh that's a pity......unfortunately I have no control over the content of the ads.......I guess that's what the 'skip' button is for. ;-)

How lovely to see what you eat in a day! And yes I wish I had a few lemon trees and olive tree as well, would save me a few trips to the shops :) Thanks for the video

[@michelepaccione8806]

Great video. I'm like you...I eat several small meals throughout the day rather than the three standard meals. Everything looks delish. :)

[@WhatVivididnext]

[@nickyrivernene5921]

Vivi, I've started growing plants to make teas, the usual like lemon balm, mint but also catnip and passionflower. This year I've grown some Valerian too. I want to be able to walk around the garden and create wonderful brews lol

[@WhatVivididnext]

Ohhhhh, lovely! that's what I want to be able to do in my garden too.......but I'm going to need masses more chamomile plants.... :-)

[@patstephenso7206]

Hi Vivvi your like me a sleepy girl in the morning but after my first cup of herb tea lm awake thank you for sharing have fun andlm sending lots of love xx

[@WhatVivididnext]

I yawned again when I was editing it! Hahahaha - definite night owl here. ;-)

[@claudiaebert7842]

Hello Vivi, I laughed so much when I saw your totally sleepy face at the beginning of the video. I do not mean that offensive now, but everyone knew that you really are not the typical morning person. I, on the other hand, am the absolute early riser. I wake up every day, even at the weekend at 4 o'clock in the morning without an alarm clock. I open my eyes and am really fit. If it's not so hot, then I'll iron my clothes before work or knit for an hour. Every morning, there are homemade muesli made from oatmeal, grated apple, nuts, a little lemon juice, yoghurt and flaxseed. To work, I either take a salad with me or a wholegrain bread, which I bake myself. I found your smoothie delicious, especially if you can process your berries. I could have eaten your salads and soup too. At the moment, I cook only very little (38 degrees today). But I always cook a lot of different soups for the winter, which I then freeze. Especially my beloved pumpkin soup. Your video today was really exciting and entertaining. Incidentally, I find your plate with the little roses quite adorable. Please, when it's really cold outside, the winter version of "this video. I have just taken my salad in wise foresight, to watch your video. What I never do. Eat either or watch videos. Greetings and a big hug Claudia

[@WhatVivididnext]

I don't understand the morning! Hahahaha - I wish I was that kind of person because the dawn is such a beautiful time of day..........but I am definitely a night owl........long after you go to bed I have my energy surge and do my best work! Our differences are what makes the world a fun place! Enjoy your early night and even earlier morning........I shall spare you a thought at 2 o'clock this morning when I'm prancing around and looking for mischief. ;-)

[@giuliofish]

Thanks for sharing, I was always curious about how you managed on your budget. Piacenza is not that far from where I live. Buon appetito!

Yay! I thoroughly enjoyed the Piacenza squash. Yum. :-)

[@billsbasementworkshop1902]

Hi Vivi, I'm like you, not really a morning person. However after suffering a heart attack in may, If I'm upright and breathing that's a good start to the day for me. How can you say that you hve to get the remainder if the ingredients from the bottom of the liqidizer. When you turn it upside down the bottom becomes the top. Which is right? Just a thought on what the great late Paul Danniels used to say. So glad that you decided to stay with us. Regards, Bill.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Bloody heck Bill - I had no idea!!! That must have been quite the scare........I sincerely hope you've put the scare bit behind you and are living well and happy again now. Hahaha - to the PD ref.......do I like my smoothie?.....do I like mornings?.............not a lot. ;-) Stay well lovely. X

[@billsbasementworkshop1902]

Thanks Vivi, Yes I'm Back in work now but my employers have taken me of the job I used to do and put me on a less stresfull one. At work I'm the oldest and the longest serving member of the team. They call me old fart but I know deep down they respect me for my service and knowladge of the work. Regards, Bill.

[@WhatVivididnext]

Being an old fart is great! It means you've been there, done that......could'a written the book. Good on you. Keep on keeping on. :-)

[@rough-hewnhomestead4751]

I LOVE this idea! I want to try what you had for lunch (potatoes/onion/beans/mayo)--Yum! And you could go so many directions with that dish. Ohhh and I love the Greek salad idea, too! We bombed on cukes this year (I SUCK at growing cukes...What's wrong with me??? lol) , but I have gotten a few here and there from others.....so yes! I could make that salad happen! I make homemade cheese that I could use in place of fets (although FETA---delish!!).

[@WhatVivididnext]

Ooooh, good on you for making your own cheese......and I guess you could swap something of your glut for some cuces? Where there's a will there's a way.........now to plant my olive and lemon trees! ;-)

[@claudiaebert7842]

[@WhatVivididnext]

Too late - I ate it. ;-) If I get another one I'll film it. :-)

[@northernkarma9296]

Hey Vivi! I use oatmeal in my smoothies too! I like lots of fruit and often put soy milk or almond milk in to "un thicken " it, LOL, cinnamon also is a nice flavour, have you tried that? I'm going to buy spirulina on payday now, good idea for protein. Thanks for the info! Cheers :-)

[@WhatVivididnext]

I do occasionally like cinnamon but I tend only to use it in winter........it's a taste which makes me think of Christmas... :-)

[@mezmereyez6204]

Vivi, did ya'll get more rain since last week? I hope so! Anyway, I think I might try your smoothie idea. I just got home from work ( I work night shift at a hospital) and had a big ole piece of chocolate cake from my husband's birthday for breakfast (dinner if you work nights) so I think your recipe will be a much more healthy option. LOL!!! Cheers! Mary Ann

[@WhatVivididnext]

Still no rain......but we're promised some soon.......oh, I hope so! hahahaha - I laughed at the thought of you eating cake for breakfast/supper......don't blame you.....when I used to get home from night shifts I was soooooo hungry I could have eaten my bookcase! ;-)

[@fragilefleur]

do you ever use almond or other non dairy milks like cashew, coconut, etc for smoothies? Your day's food looks pretty amazing to me and reasonable. I know how it is to go to water and need a little something before and then light something after without having to cook (and bringing home nice ingredients that have to wait until the next day ...or later. ) I too could love seeing more "what I ate" videos. Once a week like another youtuber that does "What I Ate Wednesday" or something? Or once a month? It's nice to see the combos for the day and reasons for the choices. You're a good role model. :)

[@WhatVivididnext]

No, I don't use milk alternatives.....they're way too expensive! ;-) I was just agreeing with Blue Pony below that once a month would make a really interesting record for me......not sure everyone else would be so interested though.......but definitely one in winter...... :-)

[@mollysmith6055]

Vivi, I know you don't spend much time watching videos but give this one a look. She vlogs like this every so often and the style of it might be something you could do to fulfill all of our curiosity about your meals. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJTJaX6HpK6snqs

[@kristinekreicberga7278]

Lovely video, your food ideas inspire me! Just one thing I'm curious to ask - I've been told that oats shoud be either well cooked or sprouted otherwise they aggravate the arthritis. Do you have any more info of that? What's your experience with uncooked oats impact on arthritis? Thanks!

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hmmm....not sure as I haven't kept a diary of symptoms/food prep......might be worth looking into though. Thank you. 😊

[@bluedazz]

Will you be saving the seeds from you Italian courgetti? I have to have my caffeine in the morning. It is my one "food" luxury. It is sometime hard to change eating habits. So my coffee is the one I have kept … for now. I use to drink 2 pots a day easy when I was working. So I justify have my caffeine by knowing I have cut that amount to 2 or 3 cups a day. Baby steps. I cook from scratch. No processed and no fast foods ect. I find that I have cut my expense way back and do not miss a lot of the items I use to eat. Anyway tank you for sharing.

[@WhatVivididnext]

We all have to have a few luxuries!!! Mine are cheese and beers. ;-)

[@jensissons5709]

Try and go to lido at eight and get a veg box for two pounds.....loads of bananas to freeze

[@WhatVivididnext]

I don't think they do that at my one...and certainly not organic veg sadly.

[@eveny119]

Vivi, …. Save those squash SEEDs. You should research the 'Purslane' weed for Omega's. I believe its one of the most nutritious wild edibles but I'll let you do your own research but it may be a free source of Omegas and it actually tastes good. We have it everywhere in the States but it grows everywhere; sidewalks ,disturbed soil, in my garden beds... I throw it in salads, or on a sandwich. So question.... What's for pudding? Lol

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahaha - not much of a pudding person. Cheers re the info on Purslane.....I'll have a look. :-)

[@vl4720]

Enjoyed it very much, thanks ! For the morning lemon drink, it's ok to use hot water on lemon juice? It wouldn't 'kill' the vitamin C ?

[@WhatVivididnext]

Oh, I'd never thought of that......that's a really good point. I don't use boiling water but it is hot when it goes in......I'll have to look into that. Thank you for raising a really good point. :-)

[@dorothymcleod1]

Loved the video, I find it interesting the meals that others consume it gives me ideas. I was wondering how you manage your clothing? Do you have a clothing allowance as part of your financial arrangements? Since it has been quite a few months since you finished your work....and you always look so nice in all your tops. I wondered if you had a secret stash of clothes- mine are getting quite ratty and worn. What do you do about footwear etc?

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahaha - good question - no, I haven't got a clothing budget but......I tend to buy good quality stuff that lasts for years, I also look after my clothes and make repairs as soon as a problem appears......and I get most from charity shops so I get a bargain and they get a donation. Yay! Footwear is different.....I don't buy second hand.......I have some lovely shoes, again, most were expensive to start with (classic designs that don't age!) and are repairable when necessary.....but.....I also spend most of my time in trainers which are hard to repair so.....I buy in the sales......and I save my pennies (spare change from my food budget) and buy when I absolutely have to......which is quite soon! ;-)

[@dorothymcleod1]

Okay I'm off to the charity shops to see if I can find some tops. I agree with you on the shoes new is best and since I wear an orthotic not just any shoe will do. I heard my mother's voice when you said "repairs as soon as the problem appears" lol "a stitch in time saves nine" that is so true as well. I must pay more attention to the sales for trainers ---good idea thanks Vivi

Great idea to show how you use your produce. After all, that's what its all about (apart from the sheer pleasure of gardening of course).

Great ideas vivi, yes Holland and Barrett do sell veggie omega soft gell capsules which are quality Algae oil perfect DHA / EPA Source , I work for a soft gel company which supply Holland and Barrett , they are a little expensive , but they do have some great sales on ; )

A beautiful good morning, dear Vivi! Are you still awake. For me so far was such a noise in front of my window (teenagers), that I could not sleep. For me it does not mean that I go to bed at 7 o'clock! Hahaha !!!!! Do we want to go for a walk? - That would be a good idea! I'll pick you up in 10 minutes. OK? I wish you a good night or better morning peace. Sleep well!!!! best regards Claudia

I slept like a baby for the first time in weeks.......just enough rain to freshen the air and drop the temp a bit..... ;-)

[@claudiaebert7842]

That has certainly done you good. Rain and thunderstorms have been reported for the last few days. None of that happened. At least 35 degrees every day and no rain for 10 weeks. Really bad. I'm glad for you, that you got at least rain. All the love and a big hug Claudia

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahaha, cheers June. :-)

[@spanishDoll1]

Oh your a veggie, love you babe

[@WhatVivididnext]

Yay! Cheers. :-)

Whole linseed is really cheap. You can grind it yourself in your nutribullet

[@WhatVivididnext]

I thought about that but.....it's kind of bonkers......the pre-milled stuff I get from Lidl is actually cheaper than the non-milled at my health food shop. Daft huh. :-)

1/2 eight, is that 7:30 or 8:30 pm?

[@WhatVivididnext]

8.30 pm. :-)

[@claudiaebert7842]

That is funny. In Germany half past eight is always 7:30.

[@nickyrivernene5921]

Have you ever thought of going vegan Vivi?

[@WhatVivididnext]

Often. The only non vegan thing I consume is a small amount of cheese - I do struggle with the ethics but have never quite taken that final plunge. Perhaps it's something I could work on next year. :-)

[@nickyrivernene5921]

What Vivi did next that's great, I would recommend plant based news on you tube apart from that I hope you would find many benefits from it. I haven't had a migraine since cutting out dairy and I feel much happier in myself. There are many benefits to be had. Good luck Vivi 💚
