Incredible Vegan Chipotle Chorizo Breakfast Calzone - Using Leftovers - Making a Meal out of It #1

[@gwendixon7490]

Monson Makes a Meal Out of It. Sounds great!

[@notmyname327]

I love the banter between you two, this was a really fun video. I used to love "recipe?!" videos so I already really like this format, looking forward to more! I enjoy longer recipes with everything made from scratch, but most of the times I end up cooking with whatever leftovers I have on hand so this is much more realistic.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks, Juan. It's funny reading comments and people saying that it's "uncomfortable" to watch us. When you've been living together, and working from home for 6 years, and you spend the last year and a half locked inside together, you tend to have a comfort level and banter that may appear to other to be unpleasant. Shrugs. Haha.

[@VeganAsFork]

Helloooooo Michael & Ben!! Thanks so much for the shout-out! You guys are so awesome! That calzone was a complete triumph! I can't eat gluten anymore (bummer I know) but I will be munching on it in my dreams tonight LOL!

[@bseider5387]

Love you guys, I hope Michael makes some of the recipes from your book soon.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Of course! I was taking to Ben and it felt like a moment between y'all, and I had to shout it out!

[@spanishDoll1]

All of your recipes are sooooooo good

[@thegirlwhospeaks236]

Good idea cutting parchment when your dealing with difficult dough.

[@margarett_b]

21:11 These must have been fantastic! Never had such a Mexican-inspired calzone and I feel like it is a mistake :D Any stuffed dough is super satisfying and the more flavours and textures you put in, the better!

[@katievdbshsh757]

Yes more videos using left overs. I have a hard time making something different with my left overs. Thank you so much for this video. God bless you both from grandma Katie in Oregon

[@MonsonMadeThis]

You've got it! I find that most of my cooking is done using stuff that I find in the fridge. It's hard to produce "original" content when it seems that all I do is remake leftovers. haha. Bless you back! Thank you!

[@goodtogo3]

I like it all......keep it coming

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks so much!

[@shaylafowler6183]

I love what you did today and all your ideas for new videos!! Yes eating at places would be great, I would love to see your fave places to eat around here!!! I also love when Ben joins in for the videos!!!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you, Shayla! I love when he joins in, too!

[@clementscott8497]

This looks so good! I love the video and the cameo by Ben!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks! I'm trying to pull him out of the shadows... haha.

[@raeraesma]

I love all of your recipes, and your videos. I watch all of them, so I'll be here. Thank you for sharing. ☺

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you, Kim! It means so much to us.

[@margarett_b]

18:13 Such a cool tip for less waste! I love reusing the packaging some products I buy come in because it at least gives it a second life :D

[@margarett_b]

20:00 I mean, even the broken one looked super super good!

[@thegirlwhospeaks236]

You guys are too cute together, your so neurotic he balances you out, we get to now meet the energy that drives you. He helps to steer the vehicle full of obsessive compulsive… “Creative genius”! You need him! He is so supportive , lucky you! Fun video… keep it coming! Your so wonderfully passionate, one of my favorite utubes!

[@margarett_b]

25:20 You could totally make FastFood videos! Hearing and seeing more options and opinions is always welcome and I just really enjoy watching the content you are truly excited to film for us!

[@thegirlwhospeaks236]

Nice to see the yin f the yang…high there. the energy behind the scene that nudges him!

[@andreabellini6796]

I think I should make these! They look fantastic

[@margarett_b]

Overall: I love the name for this series - creative, fun and perfectly describes what is happening :D This meal: I could absolutely order something like it at a restaurant and would be very very happy with it! Great job! . Sending both of you lots of love guys! Stay safe and have a great weekend!

[@tls9845]

thank you for always providing great content !! much appreciation for your hard work also seeing when you and Ben do videos together thanks to both for your hard efforts you never disappoint :)

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. We're going to put out a taste test with the two of us very soon. Stay tuned!

[@JohannaZee]

I finally made the Crossroads dough after you mentioned it in the other video, and I love it, too!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Did you get the book? Or did you find it online somewhere? It's my go-to, and I try to keep some in the freezer just in case.

[@terri_loves_plants5799]

Yeeees... monson ate this videos💯 Nice to see you Ben! 🥰And as usual I love all your food!😘😘 And yes I would love some eating out videos.

[@margarett_b]

3:35 Did Ben just come to complaint and be picky? XD I mean, this is the vibe I am getting from most he said :D

[@lisasanders8704]

Can't wait to try this!! What a great idea ! I def think mix it up. Throw is a what I eat video here and a vegan fast food video there. I would watch them all. And have Ben Join when he can.. you guys are a great team!

[@plantaetivoli1178]

I'll watch anything you post!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I appreciate the love. Thanks!

[@spanishDoll1]

You are awesome

[@danyprettyman3487]

i love this type of video because i’m not great at using up leftovers 🖤

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Perfect! I'm definitely planning on doing a few more of these soon. Thanks for watching.

[@marykaren7542]

Loved this video. I totally get your reference to Vegan as Fork. She just flies by the seat of her pants. Bring us more!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Yes! And the way that she and Maddie talk during it. It's always a conversation.

[@shaynajohnson7016]

Omg I loved this intro 😂

[@name.terrie]

Me too! 😂🤣😅

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks!

[@susanjane4784]

"Making a Meal Out of It" is a great series title. If you have veggies on hand -- I grate or mince them for regular pizza and blot them dry for regular pizza. Carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, bell pepper, and all the rest. My sister prefers her mushroom sautéd first, so you could reduce the wet factor this way, too.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks, Susan! Thanks for the tip!

[@melissabridge5687]

I love this idea. Of 2 for one meals. Using it for a second recipe. And yes to sitting down and eating, You, Ben, and the fur babies chatting. Eating out is good. But would need to be chain restaurants so we can all try it. 💚💚💚 I would also like a series of you taking non vegan dishes WE give you and making them vegan!!! My first one would be Tuna Noodle casarole. Recipe canned cream of mushrooms soup, egg noodles, peas, onions, canned tuna, cheddar cheese, crunchy cracker topping, salt and pepper. 🤣🥰

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I was going to say that we just did one of the videos were were talking about, but I see that you commented on that video already. We plan on doing more like that soon. Also, you mentioned a tuna casserole with cream of mushroom soup. I have a couple of recipes that have my veganized cream soup base (mushroom and chicken), and they are so good! Here are some links: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKuyeWyEqryElaM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGWXc5pmjb-Cbqs

[@thegirlwhospeaks236]

You two are a cute team.your lucky you have each other, so complementary, yin a d yang

[@PaulMacQ]

That looks like great food. You have so many vegan ingredient options not available here in New Zealand.

[@jeyk7188]

Hi, where can I find the pizza dough recipe?

[@MonsonMadeThis]

It's in the Crossroads Kitchen cookbook... I'm not sure if it's online anywhere. Honestly, I don't' knw how special the dough recipe actually is compared to others, but just add a good amount of cracked black pepper to whatever dough you make, and it'll probably get you pretty close. www.crossroadskitchen.com/crossroads-cookbook

[@margarett_b]

When it comes to Manson Ate This - I am not a mukbang person *at all* but if you had some specific topics to touch on I would probably watch certain ones! Especially if you would like to do it together and just casually chat with each other!

[@JohannaZee]

More Ben!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I agree!

[@jimaleekell5433]

Just remember... if there's little cracks and stuff it rustic! 😉

[@name.terrie]

Yes! 😅🤣😂

[@MonsonMadeThis]

100%! It's lets the eater know that it was made with love. Otherwise, they'll just assume that a robot made it.

[@pamayers8681]

Ben is hard on you. Be nice!

[@bseider5387]

Lol, i'm sorry if it comes off that way, i'm actually just really dry and sarcastic

[@sherri.]

The exchange was a bit uncomfortable to watch.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Haha. Nothing but love. I guess our banter doesn't translate to the camera.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Not at all. It's all joking. We're just sassy with each other.

[@kayakdog4884]

Ben, suggest rewatching Breaking Bad (assuming you have already watched but hey it's a classic) or Faulty Towers series another classic if you in the mood for laugh your ass off comedy. My old dog just had a couple of toes amputated for cancer and I have done allot of couch time with him so I can relate to your lack of decent watching options Personally I have come to hate What I eat in a Day video's, they all open up with a variation on coffee....and honestly I think it is just a way for people to crank out content, what you are doing here is much more interesting IMHO. I really do like the cooking and then eating with dialogue and would definitely watch those videos. I thought that this was a really great video, just what was on hand and I agree that the Trader Joes chorizo is great! Honestly, I think most vegans pretty much have the same stuff hanging around in the pantry/fridge and inspiration on what to do with it is always welcome.

[@margarett_b]

16:40 Drinking vegan chorizo and saying it is all good because it is vegan XD I love your sense of humor Michael :D

[@kimmcdonald5000]

Loved the video and all your videos. No disrespect, leave your partner behind the seen. I like watching you alone. You're great. More videos like these please.

[@bseider5387]

Ouch

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Wow, Kim. Haha.

[@kimmcdonald5000]

@@MonsonMadeThis I am not alone on this,I have read the comments, lol. Still, love your videos. You're great. Keep up the good work.

[@barrbuff]

What I eat in a days tend to be repetitive if you're watching vegans, so much oatmeal and smoothies!! LOL! I still like to watch them though and get an occasional good idea from them. I also like product review videos, like what Make it Dairy free does. Sweet Simple Vegan has done a bunch of fast food videos, those are good too, although I really don't frequent those places. I like the concept of this video, the Making a Meal out of it and would like to see more of them.

[@marcellington3186]

why are you wearing a sweater Ben? It is 105 degrees here in Las Vegas everyday in July

[@MonsonMadeThis]

It's Vegas, sweetie. It's always freezing indoors in the summer.

[@irisvanegames]

Yaaaas. Eat vegan fast food lol.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

It's happening!

[@susanjane4784]

I'd love a short series on modifying non-vegan recipes. I know there are plenty of vegan recipes already but I don't like or can't afford some of the specialty food products. I could use help knowing what recipes I can modify (or won't work) and how, quality resources for substitutions, some healthy but cheap and fun. I don't want you to stop being foodie/gourmet! Fancy/cool can be mixing your own spice mixes or introducing us to a cool product like J&D's vegan Bacon Salt and how to use it. Popcorn is so ho-hum and ordinary, but I know for sure that you could whip up six different vegan seasonings or recipes to make a movie night fun and affordable. Anyway, keep working on this. Your viewers are lazy. Shame on them. Pressing subscribe is easy, they just need to be reminded. One of the channels I follow finds a new way to remind everyone to subscribe to each posting which is both cute and useful.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I think most of my channel is dedicated to veganizing non-vegan recipes. But I hear ya. Thanks for all of the ideas!

[@thegirlwhospeaks236]

Eat.. Chew, swallow… then talk… what a novel idea!

[@Butterflyneverlands]

LOL the cook gets no credit 😝

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I mean... I'm happy to share. Haha.

[@lindapb6529]

I'd like you to taste test "Nick's vegan ice cream." It's a product that has some controversy over its ingredients. I'd like to know what conclusion you come to as to its "veganality." lol. Here is their FAQ's page regarding ingredients - nicks.com/pages/faq (there is a lot there, but scroll all the way down and you'll find interesting info/questions) Their options look really yummy. I've yet to try them; but, if you happen to have them available, I'd love to get your thoughts on it. And if you decide to taste them, your review!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Did you watch our Brave Robot taste test? It looks like Nick's is using the same Perfect Day vegan whey. If I see Nick's ill check it out. Thanks!

That’s discussing stoinhauling that’s not eating!

[@thegirlwhospeaks236]

How bout “Luscious Leftovers!”! And yes it’s nice to see you Little Rock stars get personal and transparent chew honey, chew and then swallow, don’t inhale so you can talk. It makes you look nervous and edgy…slow it down. Teach…people How to eat which has everything to do with digestion…an important component ( like it or not)

[@juliejohnson3807]

Please just stick to making recipes! You two talk over each other to much and it was annoying!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

This reminds me of another comment you left on a previous video when you said, "I wish you would just stick to doing recipes. This was boring!" (That's a direct quote. I coped and pasted) Julie, I'm going to keep doing me and experimenting and trying new things. You make like some it, but you're probably going to be annoyed or bored by a lot of it. 🤷‍♂️ In the immortal words of Ricky Nelson, "You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself."

[@juliejohnson3807]

@@MonsonMadeThis .. I like your recipes! But you asked for people's opinions, and I gave you mine. Stick to what you're good at!✌️

"A vegans' favorite food is sauce?" That's honestly the first time I've heard that statement. I have heard, plenty of times that a "vegans' favorite food is lawn clippings" though 😂

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Then I must have made it up, and I should get 100% of the credit! Haha. And lawn clippings are a favorite, ONLY if there's a good sauce on 'em.

[@ethicallybasedexnazi]

@@MonsonMadeThis EXACTLY. I mean, if you're going to prove your sauces truly do make the dishes then even lawn clippings should make for an amazing dish 😂 Imagine throwing lawn clippings onto a plate and saucing them up for Instagram and making the claim that even clippings, with the right type of sauce are amazing? Non vegans= 0, Vegans = 1 😉😂
