I admire you because you call out people for criticizing dumb things like counter-tops and for telling people to stop sweating the small stuff. You don't hide in a corner and cry. The internet needs strong females like yourself. What a great example you are for young women.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks. I have been advised not to do that because then they know they got under my skin. I don't want my career to end like Michael Richards! :)

[@KissimeeFL]

well, my comment already has 10 likes, so others must agree with me; perhaps that's the reason we love you.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@jadielemmanuel5514]

dont know if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last few months :)

[@milokenneth6303]

@Jadiel Emmanuel Yea, been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)

[@JaniceSummers_Coaching]

Your counters see a lot of love. No need to apologize. I love the realness of all of your videos. It's life and not everything is pristine and perfect. Work with what you have. There are far more of us without perfect counters than there are with perfect ones. :)

[@CHEFAJ]

Such is the life of an apartment dweller:)

[@lisadowning4925]

I've always liked Chef AJs kitchen!

[@pattibealer]

Seriously? Did someone criticize your counter and your kitchen? Tell them to buy you a house! Thank you AJ for everything you do, and these great recipes! I'm also glad you had to adjust your recipe, because it can show some people that it's ok. I also love how transparent you are about your life and your challenges. You rock!

[@pattihanneman5608]

I know this is not a new video, but with all this time at home because of Covid I have time to watch. I don’t know how u could have EVER been over weight, you talk so fast & have so much energy! Love the adjustments you made on the spot to the recipe! U r such an inspiration & love yr sense of humor!❤️

[@zahrahassanally8054]

Me too!! I’ve been binge watching ALL 100+ episodes

[@kathyconnell931]

What better to do at 4 AM than to watch the latest chef AJ video?? Lucky, lucky me?

[@maripalacios4427]

Love that you are sharing your knowledge and life is to short to worry about the small stuff. Enjoy you always

[@CHEFAJ]

Indeed!

[@mytreasuredcreations]

Chef AJ, you're awesome!!! ❤❤❤

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you.

[@linzertube]

The Forks Over Knives website has your recipe as "four bananas". Thanks for figuring that out, as now I can fix my book.💗

[@CHEFAJ]

I know I need to re-test both ways

[@jammymommy]

Thank you for all of your time and passion, chefAJ! xxoo 🌸

[@CHEFAJ]

[@KarenMcKendry]

Chef AJ I appreciate the fact that you don’t have a picture perfect kitchen. I can relate to you much easier than if you did.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@litestreamer]

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@lacsa727]

What a way to start my Sunday Morning... Chef AJ you are a Ray of Sunshine... God Bless You ... I see that Your words are not from a book... They come from Personal experience and THAT IS PRICESLESS. When you share it with those who NEED to HEAR & Be Motivated and Inspired. I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS! I hope you live to Be 500 Yrs Old LOL.. I know, I know... I'm exaggerating But th is World Needs more Good Hearted, Sincere & God sent Angels like You. I just started watching your Vids 2 wks now and I AM HOOKED!! THREW OUT All My Junk Food from Fridge and now It's a Garden of Green ( & Trader joe's )LOL I also purchased the Pressure Pot and Air Fryer .. and my books are on the way. Just having a hard time adjusting not eating with Salt. I was afraid of eating Potatoes but Now I understand Whyyy I was afraid. I LUV My POTATOES AGAIN Thank-U!! :O)Hugs from Miami, FL TFS

[@jennifertrevino5688]

Instead of bananas 🍌 I sometimes use pumpkin, or sweet potatoes 🍠 Or yams to make a variety

[@lizziedripping71]

Love eating vegan but was looking for a sugar/fat free cake or pudding, so these are great. Many thanks 👍

[@gloriapleasants1103]

Has anyone made these? I just tried the recipe and centers NEVER COOKED! SO SAD!

[@juliebedford4308]

That Vegas convention sounds awesome. I would love to go to that. Maybe next year.

[@victoriapurdum6813]

Maine is where the Wild Ones are! You can buy Maine Wild Blueberries frozen.

[@nadia-ll6uu]

I enjoy your recipes Chef AJ. I made the delicious oatmeal cookies on page 147 last week. The recipe should say 4 very ripe bananas; not 8. I made the recipe as is and ended up doubling the oats. The cookies were delicious!

[@CHEFAJ]

I will retest and fix!

[@tracycurrent6078]

I loved what you said about special occasions.That seems to be the hardest for my family. I get it but my family hasn't figured it out.

[@TheMslizzygirl]

Don’t worry about the Trolls Chef AJ just do you 😊

[@Dan-um9bk]

Exactly, she must have some crazy trolls. I love Chef AJ, she's the best!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@LarryRichelli]

GBOMBS, Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, berries, seeds. Also look into the Tribest soyabella. I make my own plant based milk daily with it with no straining or anything.

[@renatewobig5040]

Hi Chef AJ it’s 4 Bananas I changed it in my Book you’re amazing God bless you always 🙏❤️😘🙏

[@ladyinredlove897]

[@merrycontrary3520]

So I’m confused about the quantities for the ingredients.

[@grannyarkue9199]

[@JLP63]

[@judycallaghan4889]

You are a sweetheart. Good recover. Glad you didn't leave us hanging.

[@rachelvinyard]

Thank you SO much for your weight loss wed videos and your cookbook! I watch everything you put out. I like your cute place, it's like mine!

[@amandacallahan5402]

Those people complaining have too much time on there hands! I think you are great!

[@lauried4439]

Love you, Chef AJ!! Great video! ❤️💚💙

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@knitrelax]

an excellent Q & A while and after Muffins baked. Thank you so much!

[@irisschneiderman7784]

Ignore the critics. You are too great to let a few a$$holes bother you! You know what I mean. And thanks for all the free videos you put out. You are amazing. I watch your videos the most❤️😊❤️

[@shess1640]

I'm a little over the top with my appliances ...but never saw someone who has both a Blendtec & Vitamix. Stellar!

[@MetabolicBrain]

I made these muffins today and oh my.... they are fabulous!!!

[@redheadedprincess9079]

Mangos could be a potential substitute for bananas. I’ve used frozen mangos in certain recipes but obviously it will change it slightly :)

[@cindystrother7710]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING AND THE INFORMATION.

[@Jenny-nz5fh]

I sub out the bananas with pears and mangoes but it is a much moister result, although I don't make them anymore as they are just to yummy and I over eat them.

[@LauraCastillejos]

Thanks for another great episode!

[@CHEFAJ]

You are very welcome.

[@grannyarkue9199]

AJ u I cleaned and I appreciate ur teaching thanks 🙏🏿 blessings the World 🌎 I mean at times love ❤️ my Dear ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🏿❤️👏👍🧑‍🍳

[@AustinPepp]

[@CHEFAJ]

[@geno5169]

I just love watching you’re vedio’s.

[@MyFrankr]

I am so happy for you with your new place though I love watching u in your apt kitchen it reminds me of mine and I was motivated feeling if she can make amazing things in that small space so can I Love u Chef AJ ❤️❤️

[@auntdayskitchen6315]

Anywhere you use bananas you can use pawpaw

[@giovannapipia4527]

I don’t have your book what are the measurements you never mentioned them

[@CHEFAJ]

Please check the show notes

[@kristidyson443]

Also, the reason for the tiny apt.- is that because of the cost and availability of living arrangements in your area? I’ve watched a few of the House Flipping shows on cable tv and the houses for same land and square ft in CA are almost 4x as high than TX.

[@CHEFAJ]

All we could afford

[@geno5169]

I bou you’re book and fell in love with lit. And yea we made your blueberries muffins.my family loved them.we used almond milk

[@CHEFAJ]

Love it!!

[@kristidyson443]

I’m wondering if it’s the milk that needs to be reduced. Maybe to half cup

[@geno5169]

My wife and I already made these muffins AJ.they where so delicious.but I feel like I’m only one eating them.for breakfast.for snack.

[@CHEFAJ]

Nothing wrong with that!

[@ilessthan3cats]

"Sounded like she said pubes" LOL I love you AJ!

[@1new2green]

I wish you'd give the measurements is spices, etc. Not all of us have this book. I only have Unprocessed.

[@CHEFAJ]

I started typing the recipes last monhthon all my videos

[@lydiablossoms8487]

Then buy the book !!! She is worthy of her pay!!!!!!!!!!

[@jennifertrevino5688]

[@Falafelzebub]

Sweet potato pubes!!! Hahahaha!!! :D

[@CHEFAJ]

Did I say that?

[@Falafelzebub]

I think it was Alexa saying "cubes" and you said it sounded like "pubes". It made me laugh. :)

[@amandacallahan5402]

lol my alexa answered

[@CHEFAJ]

Everyone said that! :)

[@GreenEyEdBeauty-lu2bj]

❤️❤️❤️

[@lyndysimpson1272]

my question is Miss Chef AJ how did you get your arms and your skin to be so tight and beautiful from losing so much weight if that's not too personal I don't mean to be rude or personal I was just curious because you're so firm and gorgeous

[@CHEFAJ]

All I can attribute it to is eating so many fruits and vegetables and that I lost weight very slowly over a 2 year period.

[@SuiLiF]

#replay

[@patriciabenes6615]

Ugh....mine wouldn’t come out of the silicone muffin cups...so I scooped it all out and am eating them out of a bowl. Very yummy but I would have liked muffins!

[@CHEFAJ]

Did you cook them long enough and let them cool completely?

[@patriciabenes6615]

CHEF AJ thanks....I will try again with those suggestions...I also forgot the blueberries that I bought for them... still good!

[@bookmouse770]

You can never be too thin or too rich. :-))

[@amylynn9484]

This has nothing to do with muffins - @CHEF AJ - is it possible to water sauté in a wok?

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes. Please check my recent videos I think I did 6 in the past few weeks where I showed it.

[@amylynn9484]

Thanks, @Chef AJ! Is your wok the large pan with a non-stick coating? My wok is metal and it's one I got many years ago as a gift. I didn't even take it out of the box until the other day because I was inspired by your large pan and the possibilities of food prep in my kitchen :) The instructions are to season it when first using with oil, scallions, and ginger. I did season it like this. I did not make any real food yet in this wok, though. I am hoping to water saute, but it seems like cooks who use this kind of metal wok want to create and maintain a patina, by using oil. And steaming, for instance, is supposed to remove this patina. Thank you for your insights! I'm still learning! I want no oil cooking! :D

[@MaryWoodard1952]

Aj i love all your apartment I don't see anything wrong with alittle wear and trear

[@talrenard]

Hi chef AJ! I have been following you for a while now. You always inspire me to create and experimnent more! I have a question. I LOVE fruit, the is where i get all of my satisfaction for sweets. But unfurtanlly i eat too much, even 7- 10 fruits a day. How to deal with my passion for fruit?? I am now gaining weight only by eating too much fruit. Thank you in advance!! Tal x

[@CHEFAJ]

How can you gain weight on a food that is only 200-300 calories per pound. What ELSE are you eating? If it's really a problem then stop all fruit for a while . Zucchini, egglplant bell pepper, okra and cucumbers are fruits. Eat those.

[@talrenard]

I am really confused!!! And frustrated. I'll cut down for a week all the fruits (dates, mango etc.) Let see what will happen.

[@MA-qm4dj]

tal renard hello

[@MA-qm4dj]

tal renard something I have realized eating plant based for a year is this. You cannot eat a ton of fruit, fruits have alot of calories. For me or causes weight gain. I even exercise hard every day. Eat your beans, Vegs and oatmeal. Limit the fruit especially if your not exercising. Just my opinion and lessons learned. God bless and remember your body is a temple.

[@betipt8679]

This recipe looks amazing... Definitely making this one :) 🍌🍌🍌🍌

[@CHEFAJ]

It was very yummy!

[@lilamourad4742]

Please, talk slower for people who are not fluent in English. I am trying to understand everything you say. Thank you so much :)

[@CHEFAJ]

Sorry

[@elizabethweir807]

Can frozen bananas be used in place of fresh?

[@CHEFAJ]

yes if ripe and thawed

[@elizabethweir807]

Thank you

[@RosemaryCreations]

do you ever soak your nut bags i diluted bleach water? The last time I made almond milk, it all soured immediately..............

[@CHEFAJ]

Haven't needed to

[@grannyarkue9199]
