You HAVE to self publish a cookbook on Amazon of all your recipes with notes about which KZbin video it goes with!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Someday!

[@EMunaBee]

@@KrocksInTheKitchen or make then sell an ebook linked from your site, as other vegan KZbinrs do with much success (Ellen Fisher, High Carb Hannah...).

[@gelbsucht947]

I like the way you introduce yourselves and just get on with it, without a long, tedious preamble that includes explaining how ‘super excited’ you are to be doing what you’re doing. As a European, i find it mystifying how many Americans seem to exist in a state of permanent hyper excitement. 😂

[@curvybeauty24]

They don't. Some think they have to put on excitement to be entertaining. So unnecessary.

[@gelbsucht947]

Carrie Beth and fatiguing.

[@taminormal7103]

I personally enjoy the chit chat, we get to see the real them. I like seeing real. It’s like sitting with them in their kitchen, homey n comfy. But that’s just me. Peace, love and yummy food👍❤️

[@tiredapplestar]

I love tahini, but never would have thought to use it as an oil replacement when roasting vegetables. Thanks for this!

[@KCallaAK]

Me too!!

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

Tahini is great to make potato wedges and fries too yum 😋

[@KellyS_77]

Plant Plotters Paradise oooh now THAT sounds yummy!

[@byusaranicole]

Same! Mind blown!

[@TurtleIsSlow1]

New sub here. Found your videos on KZbin today. I dug through your videos today and I am AMAZED by your progress. Seriously, congrats you obviously deserve it. Thank you for documenting this all for the world and then sharing it. You guys don't even look the people in the first few videos, seriously that is freaking CRAZY. Keep it up... and again thanks for sharing, looking forward to future videos. Bell rung!!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We definitely feel like different people 🙂

[@evas.5127]

It's a great idea to freeze the cooked rice in portion-sizes! I'm the only one in my family who eats brown rice and I often don't bother to cook a tiny portion for me, so I'll surely copy this idea! Thank you!

[@lylarovello9716]

Love the little hums Jessica does when she eats, so cute.

[@lizziedripping71]

Forget eating out - this is fine dining for a WFPB eater ! Delicious 😫🥦

[@michelea2326]

I love a roasted veggie bowl for work lunches!!!! It's my favourite! Going to add your tofu to my mix AND start freezing my brown rice in hockey pucks! Brilliant!!!

[@Dixieburk1]

I love the hockey puck idea! When I cook a pot of grains I tend to go thru the whole thing in a day, making it the main portion of my meal. I never thought about freezing them. This would help me so much!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

It has been very convenient!

[@tanlilman]

So excited to try this. I have only been doing nutritarian for a few months and mostly been eating soups & chili. But I can foresee a day when I will need a break from soup.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

It is a nice break from our usual soup/chili lunch!

[@taminormal7103]

Every recipe I watch I think, “this one is the best yet”, then I see another one and think the same thing. 😂👍✌️

[@Holbodden]

I love how you actually show enough ingredients to make meal size portions for multiple people for several days.

[@spookyvegan1402]

Ok I’m literally addicted to your channel lol You inspire me 100 😊

[@cindystrother7710]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR TIME WITH ALL OF US

[@alittlepinkfish]

Would you guys be willing to show a kitchen tour? I would love to see how you organize the inside of your cabinets and fridge. My OCD and spreadsheet-making side would LOVE that.

[@kimbronius6173]

Maybe try hemp seeds on top would be great too! So going to try your tahini sauce. Looks so yummy!

[@susanmiller2588]

This looks so good. Thank you for posting something thats a whole meal for lunch. I can totally do this for a week.

[@smallfootprint2961]

You guys make me laugh, but most of all, I love the way you teach about the food.

[@lizdevries2463]

Love how you use tahini to roast veggies! I do the freezer thing with tofu too:)

[@kathylacy5367]

That looks delicious! I’m sooo trying the tahini sauce on roasted veggies it looks so good! I also love how you froze your brown rice...I’m stealing that for sure! Brilliant!😁

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

Thanks for another super yummy and informative video. I’m starting a Mary’s mini tomorrow inspired by U2. It’s time for change baby!

[@cindystrother7710]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR YUMMY DELICIOUS RECIPE AND HOW TO DO IT FABULOUS

[@melissahayes9461]

Been making this in stages today for my lunch prep for this week. You are right it is a process but I am really looking forward to trying it.

[@doloresk9412]

Just what I needed. A delicious recipe to make enough for most of the week while my hubby is out of town. Prep once eat for days! Yeah!

[@Puglover130]

I’m starting to really see how OCD Jess gets about precision and having things just right. That must be fun decorating the Christmas tree. I wonder if she lets Brian help. Or just “fixes” it as soon as he leaves the room. Lol

[@carolwing8503]

Love using the cauliflower to extend the rice....very good

[@Equinox1.5]

Have you tried roasting unpeeled garlic cloves with your veggies? Once roasted, cut the end off the clove and squeeze out the garlic like toothpaste. It turns mild and sweet when roasted like this in the oven. Might make a nice addition.

[@mistygoldstone8068]

So enjoy the added Jessica verbiage as to her thinking and movements. Hilarious plus I can relate. Fabulous video. Dish looked scrumptious.

[@mrbqkc]

Yesss! I'm going to aldi tomorrow and then making these bowls for the week 😁👍

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Yayy! Let us know how they turn out :)

[@jenniferrogers4043]

Those baked veggies with the tahini sauce are amazing!! I eat plant based but dont love the taste of veggies.....these are yummy. Thanks

[@amandaavila5968]

Looks so tasty and I agree about the green beans. I won’t eat canned but fresh is delicious...usually my favorite part of my veggie bakes. Thanks for sharing!

[@Harber67]

OMG that is SO SMART how you freeze your rice!

[@michellerene9678]

Rice in the muffin cups is a magnificent idea! Thanks. Can’t wait to try the recipe, especially the marinated tofu. This is so much more economical than the pre-made frozen entrees. Green beans are really easy to grow in a home garden. Freshly picked green beans and sugar snap peas are amazing, Brian.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Someday we will have a garden! For now, we live in the city with no place to garden. Lol.

[@Cathy16011]

Thank you for the consistently great content!

[@sylviapage8572]

Your recipes always look amazing. The dog pawty looked fantastic! 😁 Thanks as always for sharing your experience. I love your channel.

[@tamsondarland8951]

Asparagus would also be delicious along with this fantastic recipe. Thank you for posting such a creative nutritional recipe. 😇💞

[@6Tzgirl]

Wow, in awe of you, congratulations on your weight loss, I LOVE Sauces! Thank you for sharing.

[@roppelstables]

Just whipped up a smaller batch of the veggies for lunch...... delicious!!!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Glad you enjoyed them :D

[@cindystrother7710]

LOVE ALDI THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING

[@MsOldmom]

You guys have really been an inspiration for me. I appreciate your work.

[@johncrwarner]

1) fabulous recipe ideas - will definitely try the veggies and serve with brown rice (Naturreis) - like the idea of the "hockey puck" rice too. 2) Will have to check Aldi here in Germany to see if they have the no salt seasonings you have in the USA.

[@johncrwarner]

And having been to Aldi this morning, they don't have the seasonings referred to but I bought some white pepper and frozen dill (for another recipe) as well as a lot of organic veg and some white beans which were in the reduced section.

[@msdorkness]

I love how y'all make sure your food has flavor. I've never been one to put just salt, pepper, and garlic in a dish and maybe an herb and call it seasoned. Definitely looking forward to trying this one. I've just been having a hard time getting roasted veggies to come out right since I quit using oil. Maybe the tahini will help.

[@justjenny1325]

MsDorkness I have had the same issue. The veggies just aren’t the same. I have been spraying a tiny bit of my olive oil pan spray from my misto thing. It works pretty well but it’s not totally oil free.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

The tahini was a game changer for us when it comes to roasting veggies!

[@msdorkness]

@@justjenny1325 Wish I had that luxury. I started this at the begining of Aug on my birthday with a goal to loose 80 lbs by my next birthday. I am so far down 20 lbs (yay!) I think I might have to just watch my roasted veggies for a bit. Occasional may be fine. Probably better than the Beyond sausage I had the other day. (Oops 🤭, don't tell anyone hehe)

[@msdorkness]

@@KrocksInTheKitchen Y'all have been a big inspiration for me and helping me keep going. Thank you

[@justjenny1325]

MsDorkness congrats on your losses so far!!! You are on fire!!! I’m so wishy washy with my diet, I need to just do it. Lol. You have inspired me and the Krocks always do.

[@katies_vegan_travels5008]

Great advise guys and I will show my brother how to do the veggies as I think he will love to learn this :)

[@justjenny1325]

I love this. I made something like it but didn’t season it and then I can decide when I eat it how I want it. I portioned it out and froze it. I have used several different seasonings and it’s so yummy! I also portion my beans in a muffin tin. I love it because it’s about a half cut of rice or beans. ❤️

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Good idea with the beans too!

[@sensiblecrime7699]

I use the recipe for “Crispy” Baked Italian Tofu from this channel as a basis for different kinds of tofu. I sometimes marinate it in a mixture of minced hot red pepper, garlic, ginger, and low sodium soy sauce and a little low sodium soy sauce. I bake it the way Brian and Jessica bake the Italian tofu. I am experimenting with a marinade containing chipotle but I haven't perfected it yet. I serve it over brown rice with lots of vegetables.

[@KCallaAK]

This looks fantastic! I've been on soft food (oral surgery) for two weeks and TOMORROW, Imma gonna make this! Thanks guys! Perfect meal to break a "mush diet". ;)

[@docb8316]

I make "South in Your mouth" soup. Black eyed peas, Collard greens, Okra, Mixed veg, crushed tomatoes, lima beans, extra green beans and sweetcorn And whatever I happen to be hanging in the frig. Also onion, garlic and whatever spices I want.

[@Harber67]

I love all your recipes, I’d be interested to know how your new lifestyle grocery shopping bills compare to your old habits shopping? The results are incredible!

[@cinziatesauro8819]

Thanks for these recipes. I am a little bit in doubt about the rice though. I have learned that rice, potatoes and in general starchie things should not be frozen because they become soggy. It happened to me once with boiled potatoes that I have frozen...absolutely something inedible.

[@scholland883]

I sort of feel overwhelmed by this one but I am going to have to power through that. This looks incredible!!!

[@tammylange256]

Your Super Power Veggie Bowls look delicious! Thanks. I'm allergic to sesame seeds so tahini is out for me. I like to use a fresh Thai peanut butter sauce or my homemade soy milk yogurt (or silken tofu) with Braggs liquid aminos, Braggs 24 herb blend, vinegar and nutritional yeast. These are great as marinades or salad dressings.

[@joletteday11]

Oh man.....can’t wait to try this one!!

[@errorerror1337]

Nice! A little more involved than some of your others but it's great to see you both back in the kitchen again!

[@Mud-Sock-Girl]

I was literally thinking about drizzling tahini on top of the finished bowl, when Brian said if you wanted to splurge add some tahini on top or sesame seeds, etc. Thanks for sharing this recipe :)

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Yes we like to do that when we aren't being lazy! LOL

[@ms.one-town901]

That looks so delicious. I’m going to try it with roasted sweet potatoes too!

[@kris5949]

Thank you for all your consistent hard work on great interesting helpful content. Truly useful and inspirational. I've got everything roasting right now. I appreciate your energy about cooking and meal prep. It reminds me of how good the food is when you make the effort to cook. Keep up the great work.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thanks Elizabeth! Hope everything turns out great!

[@barbhayes5613]

So many great tips! I already love Aldi; can't wait to check out their no salt seasonings. The marinade for the roasted veggies sounds so good - I'll be trying that this week. Your channel has been the best inspiration for me to go totally WFPB, low-SOS, without relying so much on convenience vegan options. Thank You for ALL you do. Cheers!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thanks Barb! I definitely recommend trying out the veggies on their own first! So good!

[@annetteleggett9854]

I really miss living in a town with an Aldi’s. North Dakota doesn’t have Aldi’s, Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. But I’ll see what I can find and try this but I will definitely try the baked veggies.

[@crystalmccoy7265]

This is a winner! I just made this... it’s my new all time favorite. OMG. FABULOUS. Thank you for sharing your recipe creation!

[@anniebanana3698]

What?!?!?... just a few seconds in and you said, "we froze our tofu... it gives it that nice spongy texture" - 🤯 🤯 🤯 Mind is literally blown. I did not know you could freeze and then thaw tofu and have it be edible! Amazing.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Yep, freeze it and then thaw it out when you want it. 😀 It really changes the texture and it will absorb more seasonings. 🙂

[@SC-ws7qq]

@@KrocksInTheKitchen Do you freeze the tofu before or after pressing it?

Thanks Melissa! Mushrooms would be great! We've also done it without tofu and just used extra chickpeas!

[@jessicarosenfeld7947]

This looks so good!! After being vegan for about 3 months I really want to take the next step and cut out oil and processed vegan "junk" which i eat about 4 times a week. Any tips for that specifically? Cutting oil? It is harder than I thought.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Oil can be tricky because basically everything store bought will have some in it. The key for us has been making everything at home and using things like tahini that have natural oil in it but are still the WHOLE ground sesame seeds and not just the extracted oil.

[@stardust16]

Great recipe, specially love the doggies.
