I love peas in my Mac n' cheese! I also really love broccoli in it, or some red bell pepper. ✌💕

[@enjre]

OKAY I made the waffles for breakfast this morning and the burgers for lunch and I can personally vouch that both are AMAZING. Thank you so much Caitlin! I needed some new recipe inspiration and these were both a win. Now I just gotta try that mac n cheese😋

[@maeve7239]

Catherine Root Thank you for telling me this! Def trying the waffles for breakfast tmr!

[@Averychanviolin]

the cheese sauce would be so great with the burger 😃😍

[@zee444]

Avery Chan or to dip your fries in🤤🤤

[@BrielleCFarmer]

All these recipes look so good, and actually healthy! I'm vegan, but definitely a junk food vegan so I'm trying to stick to more Whole Foods. Thanks for sharing :)

[@talisteveyssis9418]

My name is Brielle too!

[@BrielleCFarmer]

yay so cool!!!

[@LadyCastlevania]

Your videos are so well put together. Love you and your channel!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Thank you! :)

[@r7evan42]

Agreed! Caitlin is fantastic!

[@April-vc9rq]

that cheese sauce though... yummo

[@byebye4857]

I have this crazy urge to turn vegan and your videos are really making me want to do this even more

[@henna4770]

Hey! Are you vegan now?😍

[@xSerenaVDWoodsen]

Okay that Mac & Cheese made me subscribe to you. Looks so good!

[@rebeccagoodridge1626]

ive made it and it was the nastiest thing ever lol

[@user-nd7re9sf8d]

i kno

[@KaitiChandler]

I am SO blown away by your channel! I have been watching a bunch of your videos over the past few days, whenever I get a chance! I am on day 26 of a plant based diet, and so far, so good! You have such amazing recipes. I absolutely love how you made a cheese sauce out of potatoes and carrots. I mean, who would have thought?!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@anarosales1428]

This is the first time I write a comment on youtube, but seriously Caitlin thank you very much for all your videos. This is super clear, simple and really motivates me to continue cooking vegan meals. Thank you very much ❤️🌸

[@pippin.jardine]

LOVE THIS!! Can you do more what i eat in a day blogs please!?

[@omgnoi]

THANK YOU for typing the recipe in the description so I don't have to constantly rewind to write it down. So many youtubers don't (looking at you rawvana and fully raw kristina) and it is annoying to try to do!! So thank you!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

OMG THAT MAC

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

hehehe the sauce came out soooo good!

[@jessicaalbrecht4875]

Hey! So I'm probably not your demographic audience (40's mom with 2 young kids) but I really appreciate the simplicity in these recipes. I am transitioning into a vegan diet and it can be a big challenge when you've been eating the S.A.D your while life. I just ordered all items from while foods to make these three recipes. Thanks!

[@jamiewashere16]

So excited that I found your channel. I used to eat plant based for a little over a year, and then I fell off of that band wagon. I have been going through such a rough patch. I am actively getting myself back to a state of mind where I want to eat healthy again, and eat plant based. Money is always a struggle, but I watched some of your videos and couldn't believe how inspired I felt to do exactly what I have been wanting to do. I used your link for Thrive Market and got some free chia seeds and also bought some flax seeds. I am going to go grab some potatoes and few others things at Aldi's now! Thank you for your videos. You really have just changed my life in the matter of an hour. Needless to say I have subscribed! Thank you thank you thank you.

[@emilymeans8313]

I decided to try all three of these recipes this week. I approve of the waffles and I added a fresh peach to mine. The mac and cheese was incredible. I will be making the burgers later this week and I am really looking forward to it. These were the first recipes of yours that I have tried, but I know they won't be the last.

[@caseydavis2318]

Also , adding tomatoes to Mac & cheese is pretty amazing :)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Yess I love that too! Especially sundried tomatoes omg

[@marieaustin10]

I really enjoyed this video, Caitlin. Your videos are always really helpful and it's great to know how we can eat on a low budget. So glad I subscribed to you! Can't wait to see more of your stuff. Best wishes, from a UK Vegan Vlogger :) xx

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

thank you so much! :)

[@elizabethlucile7643]

WOW that waffle looks absolutely to die for. I never would have thought of incorporating chia seeds! Also, I love thrive! Thanks so much for sharing I always look forward to your videos!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

It adds a really neat texture, I love it! Thank you Elizabeth :)

[@SS-Connect]

Mushrooms in macaroni and cheese is DIVINE. I always add saute-d mushrooms and onions :)

[@amyshaw444]

Ok I've only watched a few your videos but I must say they are so nicely edited, and you offer great, simple recipes, budget friendly and I'm already coming back for more!

[@r7evan42]

WOW! Vegan mac n cheese! That is one thing I have missed so much since going vegan. Vegan cheeses are high in sodium and mostly soy which I need to stay away from. When I saw this recipe I was on it! I made it right away because I had all the ingredients. It really is deeelish! Thank you so much for sharing ;)

[@r7evan42]

and I put some frozen pees in my mac n cheese too :)

[@Budscer]

Just made the mac n cheese! but I had to freestyle a little bit because I was out of almond milk and tahini. Instead of almond milk I made a slurry from the potato/carrot broth and 1 tbs of corn starch. Instead of tahini I used Dijon mustard. I also added a little salt at the last minute. So delicious!!! Thanks Caitlin 💜

[@annaburke5045]

Peas and corn with Mac and cheese is so good, or broccoli and vegan sausage...I want to make all of these right now!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I have never tried broccoli but now I feel like I need to!

[@gabyfernandes6334]

These look soooo delicious and easy to make. Can't wait to try that Mac and cheese recipe

[@ashantiholland5635]

Okay so I just made the burger and I just want to let everyone know that this is literally TO DIE FOR!!!! It's so good!!! Thanks for the recipe Caitlin. Love ya lots!❤

[@dearnature9173]

Hey there! I just made the waffles and they turned out amazing! Im so glad the chia egg works so well! I added a tsp of coconut sugar and used self made flax milk and they are so yummy! Thank you for this great inspiration ! :)

[@crystaltoro8149]

I made the burger 🍔 and fries 🍟 for my family tonight and it was a HUGE success 🙌🏽👏🏼 #Delicious 😋 Thank you Caitlin! ❤️ Sending Love from New York 🗽

[@annamariewagner2261]

I tried the waffles and they are sooo good!!!💜

[@tracywebuyhomes7840]

Holy moly!!!! Amazing I’m blown away you’d never know this wasn’t real Mac n cheese!! Insane I’m loving this thank you so much for opening my world up!!

miaalicex if you can wait, wait for Black Friday! Lots of supply stores have small appliances cheap!

[@lindsaysimplyliving803]

Try goodwill. Tons there, nearly new for a few bucks.

[@garden_therapy_nj]

lindsaysimplyliving good idea.

[@MissEmilyJA]

Can't wait to try that cheese sauce recipe! All the other ones I've seen always seem way more complicated, but the ingredients you used are things that I always have at home :)

[@haileeasmr6846]

Thank you SO much for these recipes! I'm not even vegan but I still like to keep watch over my dairy intake so I'm definitely gonna be trying all of these recipes out, especially the waffles and mac and cheese. I don't have tahini so I'll have to do without it.. I hope the sauce still comes out good.

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Hmm it will definitely be less creamy without the tahini, but it's worth a try! Maybe you could blend 1/4 cup of raw soaked cashews in the sauce instead if you have those

[@maia23zade98]

These all look amazing! I almost started crying at the mac and cheeze... mac 'n' nooch is one of my favorites, but your recipe is definitely healthier with the carrots in the cheeze sauce. I'm excited to make those waffles and the veggie burgers, too. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious and nutritious food! :)

[@swinxfee]

These recipes are LIFEEE!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@abigaili7216]

Those waffles look soooooo good. And that mac and cheese. I have tried like a million vegan mac and cheese recipe and they all failed. I'll give that one a try. Never thought of adding tahini. YUM! Thanks so much for your recipes. My favorite videos of yours are what I eat in a day and grocery hauls. Definitely do more grocery halls.

[@Sarah-kx7yg]

I did the waffles and they where sooo good! But the waffles with no toppings did taste like nothing but bc they where perfect fluffy I just drizzled maple syrup and putted banana ice cream on them and they tasted amazing😍

[@cassiepinkney9942]

I made the chia waffles as pancakes and it was delicious! I will definitely be making them again and experimenting with different toppings and spices.

[@meve5]

I tried the burger (did not use ketchup or cumin and mixed in a bit of mushrooms and onions) OMG i'm in love!!!😍😍 Lol. I tried making a sweet potato based veggie patty recipe last year and it was disgusting. But yours is a winner!! I'm gonna brag to everyone about it. Thank you thank you!! :)

[@indiesummer5830]

I made the waffles as pancakes and they worked so well! Tasted delicious with banana and maple syrup. Im going to try the pasta next, thank you so much xx

[@kristenstack1136]

Hey, I love your videos! I just don't know how much of the ingredients you are adding. I love your recipes I just wish I knew how much of what you are adding! Much love.

[@ashleymuenchau7694]

That waffle looks so heavenly! I have Sunday and Monday off so I might try making this on one of those days!

[@sherilcurry66]

I jus made your chia cinnamon pancakes cuz I don't have a waffle maker lol. it turned out really well. I mashed the banana into the recipe rather than using it as a topping and it was delish. its light but still so filling. made 6 pancakes in total. thanx for this recipe hon

[@peaceloveveganbeautylifest7140]

The best vlog outthere! Compliments and thank you so much, I'm a newly vegan, this helps me and my family like crazy!!!!

[@emilymeans8313]

After trying all of these recipes, the burgers are my favorite. They were all delicious, but I really liked the burgers. I've already made them twice, leaving the cumin out the second time around and just adding extra garlic. Delicious!

[@ednagarcia9631]

So it's 6pm and it's my second time making the waffle recipe today. They're so good! I added vanilla extract and coconut sugar to mine and I also need to use an oil to cook them. They stuck to my waffle maker the first time around... it wasn't pretty. But I'm so glad they turned out so delicious! Good on that recipe :)

[@stephanieg2887]

This was a great video honestly, its so easy to remake and actually pretty healthy

[@greenshayliz]

I have the same blender! It's life changing

[@kristinamarie3230]

I have made almost the same Mac n cheese but with butternut squash and a bit of onion instead of the carrot and potato ... and AMAZING

[@HugoHugoHugoo]

This video is amazing. You actually taught me so much. I love cooking, and to me, most cooking videos on KZbin show almost exactly the same recepies. Thanks for this informative and cool video

[@colincorkery1209]

one of the best vegan recipe videos ive seen

[@KorinaKina]

OMG seriously everything in this video is pure perfection. I can't wait to try!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@kristinahorton5805]

I just recently switched to a vegan diet. Do you have any tips for beginners? If I don't have flax seeds could I use chia seeds for the black bean burgers? Also, where did you get the silicone mats and those big white bowls that you use in your other videos? I also just want to thank you because you have given me a lot of inspiration!

[@s.m.6850]

If you can't find apple cider vinegar, you can also use lemon juice. It curdles the milk in almost the same way.

[@cuestasamantha9200]

I made the pancakes (waffles) for breakfast and the Mac and cheese right now! Thanks so much!!❤️

[@barbhayes5613]

Can't wait to try the mac'n'cheese. When I was in college and broke (vegetarian back then) I'd throw in any frozen veggies that were on sale that week -- peas, broccoli, carrots -- cheap and filling.

[@nellieeess]

The burger looks soooo good!!! 😍😍

[@sjb2006]

Chia is always sooo filling

[@leonieschmitt8206]

Broccoli and peas would be awesome in that mac and cheese.

[@nd1yx]

YOUR VOICE IS REALLY CLEAR AND I WAS FEELING THAT YOU WERE TALKING NEXT TO ME

[@diesdas6809]

Looks sooo good! And the ingredients are so easy to get and cheap! Thanks, the recipes are a great Inspiration!

[@cheesemonkey12354]

Mac n' Cheez with Veggie Dogs is pretty great. It reminds me of a meal my mom used to make for our family a long time ago.

[@anniehoneycomb7105]

Dang, you make the motivation so real. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@Heather73090]

These look great! This is the fourth thrive KZbin video I've seen this week! Love these ideas though wow thanks!

[@amandagaud]

Living in South Korea I have so much trouble finding ingredients to make many recipes but I am pretty sure I can make all of these! :D Sooooo excited to try the mac and cheese!

[@CallMeNains]

Lol my family thinks I'm really weird for putting peas in my pasta dishes! Extra protein and a "meat" like texture. Love it!

[@andreeaandreea184]

Your mac and cheese recipe is great,Im having some right now.Thanks for sharing Caitlin❤️

[@iridescentaurora268]

I like adding broccoli, riced cauliflower, spinach and/or kale to my Mac 😋

[@pgakt]

I put sweetcorn in my mac and cheese, it adds a little crunch and sweetness!

[@lindseyn6342]

I love your videos!!!! The food all looked so mouthwatering-ly good and I can't wait to make it all! Especially the burgers because the shot of those was perfect!

[@BeautySunflower14]

Love your videos!! They're fun to watch and educational on how you can eat better. I can't wait to try the burgers!

[@kikidelatorre3288]

I love all your delicious recipes!!!!! Im trying to go complete vegan because I don't like meat as much!!!! Love all does ideas so I can learn!!!! Thank you!!!!! Your awesome. Love your channel!!!!! Everything looks soooooo good!!!!!

[@desireemolina4553]

Caitlin! I made theses burgers, unbelievable they even looked like a real hamburger and it had a good texture to every bite. I will be making these as my "go to burgers"and they were so easy to make, the only difference was I wasn't able to bake them our oven is on the blink😬 so I pan fryed them with very little olive oil, I'm somewhat a newbie to this Veggie/vegan/letting go of meat and dairy little by little......Thank you for sharing

[@reganstandlick7520]

Can't wait till your book comes out.

[@krupprecht3]

These all looked amazing, cannot wait to try them all out!

[@abbyalarid6877]

Wonderful recipes, I can't decide which recipe is the best and am going to make all three. Maybe burgers tomorrow.

[@carmendelrey1796]

just realized u have more than 100k subs!!! and I've been here since 10k!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU 😭😭😘😘

Definitely throwing in some broccoli and mushrooms into my mac n cheeze. Also this burger recipe is the best one I have seen online so far!

[@kaylalynnwrites]

That Mac and cheeze #drooling

[@kaylalynnwrites]

Ps- I have not done a chia egg!! I have to try that!!

[@BetteTwain]

Nutritional yeast makes a delicious coating for the chips 😍

[@jyi456]

Is it possible to skip the tahini for the Mac and Cheeze recipe? I love your channel btw. I'm a vegan newbie and I love your simple recipes!

[@ateliervacry]

Hey Caitlin ! I love your video so much, such good ideas ! Please do more videos on a budget like that :). Hugs from France xx

[@ateliervacry]

Haha yes we are, especially in some part of France. But a lot of french never test it, like me.

[@shutupchaela3808]

[@conquesotador]

I made the mac and cheeze 😋😋😋, but I substituted some smashed up walnuts in place of tahini. Turned out great! Ty

[@martimihendrix2455]

Actually I could say this to all of your videos, buuut girl this time you nailed it for real. This looks out so delicious. Get out of town :D Seems like being vegan have become your super power. Thanks Caitlin for you being on this planet and spread the vegan message in your wonderful own way. Cheers from a physio mate out of germany :D
