I would love to have a partner who cooks my favorites!!

[@JulieElisabethSinclair]

Someone isn't in his congee mood 😂

[@lunavvoods]

I would absolutely love to see a video about how you set up your georg dinner table, including flowers and decoration and how you present the food, if you know what i mean?!

[@JennyMustard]

Great idea!

[@sarahpulver9978]

Yes

[@Psaltrymom]

Don't laugh. Here's my go-to that I NEVER tire eating. I LOVE to cook a batch of (dried & peeled) fava beans along w/ potatoes in my Instant Pot. (1 cup dried beans, 300g potatoes, and 3 cups water.) When done, mash them! The beans turn the mashed potatoes a beautiful yellow hinge. Top it in a bowl w/sautéd kale, sliced raw red onions, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. I never tire of it!

[@geeb4994]

This sounds really tasty…one to try.

[@janielapointe4550]

Please bring back all the old cooking and vegan food videos to your channel 🙏🏼 I loved that content! And please make as much food videos as you wish! They are amazing!!! ❤

[@RachelTeeKae]

Jenny, I was so sad when you quit making vegan videos. I’m definitely happy right now. 😃🙏🏼

[@mariaelena997]

Same!! 😍💚

[@leedublin320]

Thanks... more please! I started watching you years ago because of your vegan content, your presentations are amazing!

[@JennyMustard]

Thank you!

[@DanielSanchez-oi9et]

I missed your cooking videos I used to watch since 2016. Hi from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@nikedoesthings]

same here

[@lindsaytoussaint]

Same! OG mustard fans assemble! 😂 Came for the food, stayed for the style!

[@JennyMustard]

thanks for watching :)

[@Sharnshine-jv3ty]

Me too ❤

[@Liv.G121]

oatmeal with mushrooms, cabbage or kale, miso, tamari, garlic, peanut butter powder sauce

[@heyajoy]

oooh this sounds so good. how do you make that?

[@geeb4994]

Oooh you are making my tummy rumble.

[@lilyssevilla]

My lunch I bring to work which is shoving white miso, shredded carrots and pepper, a piece of nori, silken tofu and soy sauce and sesame oil in a jar and then adding hot water! I can’t believe how delicious it is everyday:)

[@lindsaytoussaint]

I remember your pan fried tofu video from waaaaaay back in the day - I still make my tofu this way when I’m not too lazy and just throw it in the air fryer. Your vids were SO helpful when I first turned vegan in 2016. 💚 My food I can eat every day is oats/porridge. Savory or sweet, warm or cold - doesn’t matter. Also tofu, collard greens, green beans, potatoes, and hot sauce! All day every day.

[@kattyude8256]

I'm vegan too! and honestly a good korma curry with lots of tofu plus a side of naan, as well as any asian style stirfy that has lots of veggies noodles and a sticky sweet sour sauce I could easily have every day.

[@DiMagnolia]

My staple is home cooked Mexican bean stew. My grandma and mom always made this for us growing up so as an adult I make it all the time. Especially in college, I would make a bunch of it in my instapot every week, freeze some and eat it throughout the week. I just don’t get sick of it. And since I was taught to soak the beans overnight and then rinse before cooking they don’t cause any digestive troubles for me. It’s very versatile too, you can eat it as is (YUM!) or add it to soooooo many dishes. I often mix it with rice to change the texture, which is also great for meal prepping your own little burritos to freeze which I also did a lot in college. You can also blend the stew to make like a creamy refried beans texture that’s great as a dip or to make dishes like “molletes” (yum yum yum!)

[@idabergmann5270]

sounds so good

[@kattyude8256]

Ooh that sounds delicious would you be open to sharing the recipe I’ve been looking for a good bean stew.

[@tropicallyfit]

Do you have recipe? Thanks!!

[@Alaskaventureswithbrodie]

I do a tofu scramble in the morning with the spice blend of (nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, Kala Namak, Thai Spice and Tumeric) , spinach. Then I top with sauerkraut and a little brown mustard. Delish!

[@Psaltrymom]

I am going to try this!

[@Hanneninah]

My all time comfort foods are mushroom risotto (with porcini mushrooms, I always keep some dried at home and a little bit goes a looong way) and spicy sticky tofu with coconut rice and broccoli. I could eat these every day (and I cook them almost every week) 🌸

[@idabergmann5270]

hmmm.. yum

[@FaustineJL]

The granola is back! I used to make this recipe so much in 2016/2017, your original youtube video is gone but thankfully the website post is still up, I had forgotten about it and need to make it again asap! Currently my staple dish is tofu, rice, green beans or broccoli and the most delicious peanut butter sauce that basically has the trinity of condiments with the hot sauce being gochujang, it's amazing!

[@AlOr-uy7yh]

could you pls share the granola recipe 🙏

[@4.eva.21]

oh, jenny ❤ how i loved your cooking videos from back in the days ... 😊😋 i even went that far to buy the french version of your cookbook since i couldn't find an english copy (my french isn't the greatest 😅 but still enough to follow the instructions). love your take on vegan nutrition!

[@HipsterSpinster_]

I love popcorn with a ton of nooch, salt and onion powder instead of garlic powder. Mmmmmmm.

[@sally_501]

Jenny, this congee recipe has changed my life. I saw it in your first video and tried it out (we cook it in our Instant Pot so it takes about half an hour) and now I’m eating it most days! We use kala namak salt and liquid smoke and garlic powder in the stock. Today I added kombu to the mix as well. I can’t thank you enough, you’ve changed my eating habits for the better.

[@julietcapulet3082]

You should try making indian kitchari! It's quite similar to congee, except it's made with split mung beans and rice. You add tempered curry leaves, cumin seeds, ginger, dried red chili, and turmeric as the spice. I sometimes add indian garlic pickle as a little funky spiciness for extra flavor! :) it takes like 20 min to put together if you have an instant pot :)

[@JennyMustard]

Sounds great!

[@LauraSallaerts1]

I expected oats to be on here 😄 My daily craving are oats with some kind of seeds, oat milk, nut butter and fruit!

[@Elena-pq8yp]

My top everyday staple 5 foods (ingredients) would have to be: 1 Peanut butter 2 Bananas 3 Japanese Sweet potatoes 4 Tempeh 5 Oats

[@lisabean818]

Beans and greens is our go to meal many days of the week. I make some brown rice cooked in vegan chickn' broth. In another large pan I steam tons of greens (kale, collards or mixture of both). I then sauté chopped garlic and small amount of chopped chilis in some olive oil. I then add 2 cans of rinsed cannellini beans, stir and add back in the cooked greens. I salt as to taste and serve over the brown rice.

[@littlevoice_11]

Please share a day in your life with meals/snacks and movement to provide context to these meals

[@DiMagnolia]

I remember years ago you shared your spice mix and recommended it for edamame, it has been my favorite snack ever since!

[@JennyMustard]

It's so good!

[@carolinelandreth7867]

I still love a perfect avocado toast for brunch or lunch. Wheat sourdough toasted, perfectly ripe avocado mash, salt, chili crisp oil, and I like to top with raw pumpkin seeds and serve with a side of fruit or tomato.

[@elkycrodia]

For me is hummus (basically every day) but changing the base: chickpeas, cannellini, lentils, tofu (try smoked tofu & roasted peppers... 🤤)

[@plantaetivoli1178]

yeah!!! more food videos for sure:) I have the same cravings, mostly, but I love avocado with black salt on a veggie heavy toasted Ezequiel bread (I live in the US) for breakfast. I'm savory all the way and the whole grain/legume/fresh and fermented veggies are my go to. With Japanese sweet potatoes and sesame seeds on everything! Tofu and hummus (always homemade) are 2 food groups themselves...🤣🤣🤣

[@danacapodarco1363]

My favorite ever day dish is simple. It’s roasted kale chips with salt and garlic powder. So simple, and not fancy, but delicious.

[@mayorktrain]

Where do you buy your tea from? You could make a whole video on tea and, while maybe niche, I'd watch the hell out of it haha. I love mei leaf and white2tea. I think mei leaf actually sell a matcha dusted genmaicha that is so savoury and delicious :)

[@MissForse-gw7no]

I love this Jenny ❤ my everyday non stop food is tofu and I am also a pasta lover. Addicted to nutritional yeast too. Proudly guilty of indulging myself with kilos of strawberries whenever it's that time of the year again!! 🌱 #govegan

[@juni_purr]

I love congee and look forward to making it with red lentils. Thanks for the recipes. 🥣🩷🥣

[@JennyMustard]

Hope you enjoy

[@MoniOruniQ]

I first tried congee when I was in Mongolia in 1999. It is a great way to start the day.

[@fdykstrad4]

Love, love, love foodie videos and as a Vegan, would love more of yours!

[@Esssssy]

ugh i love when you upload!!

[@JennyMustard]

love to hear it.

[@TMoonCat23]

Just made the noodle bowl last night & omg it was so good! Just with whatever veggies we had (streamed some collards, kale & carrots & added chopped purple cabbage & sesame seeds on top), made with soba noodles & the veggie bouillon. That was all delicious, but the best part was using your "holy trinity" of condiments on top- soy sauce, rice vinegar & hot sauce (Sriracha), and that was incredible! So good! That's such a great flavor combination, who knew? We had those ingredients, I'd just never used them like that, especially the rice vinegar. It was so good! New favorite way to dress food, lol. At least in noodle bowls, so good. 😋 🤤 😃🎉

[@TMoonCat23]

Forgot- also added the lightly fried tofu- YUM

[@JennyMustard]

So happy to hear

[@carrieh2409]

Jenny and David cooking, woohoooo!!

[@littlevoice_11]

Please share any cookies, muffins, sweets. Also any dips, smoothie bowls and also any more cereal alternatives

[@de9461]

Congee is amazing! It is so versatile! Congee mood! Love it!

[@londonztoa6359]

Just made the congee. Cooling in the pan, can’t wait! Thx.

[@jeanriggs5044]

Yes, more food videos. The main breakfast and snack food right now is watermelon (summer in Florida) and an un-tuna sandwich main with garbanzos for lunch always everyday!

[@veganfromvenus]

Recipes and affordable food tips, wow thank you!!

[@randirosanikolajsen6372]

Jeg er så enig med alle de andre der har savnet dine videoer om vegansk mad fra gamle dage. Jeg købte din kogebog dengang og er glad for at du tager dette emne op igen😊

[@estherestelle7920]

I'll have to give these meals a try. I'm hooked on rice bowls with carrots, kale, avocado, broccoli and brussel sprouts. A bit of Gochuchang, chefs kiss.

[@elevenisonelouder]

Thank you! I was hoping you'd post recipes after your "what I eat" video. Can't wait to try these out!

[@MsSennyo]

I love Nutritional yeast. My vegan fiance introduced me to that when we met, and boy am I glad he did. My favourite (comfort) food is vegan caecarsallad. The thing that makes it so good is the sauce wich is made out of nootch (nutritional yeast), lemon juice from one lemon, vegan mayo, salt and pepper. I'm quite picky with eating the same thing several days on a row, but this I could eat for dinner every day and never get tired of. It's our go to when I have had a rough day and don't feel like eating anything. But ceasarsalad with that sauce always saves dinner.

[@pooka994]

Doing pho style toppings would be soo good on that noodle soup- Thai basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapeños, lime, etc

[@JennyMustard]

Oh yes

[@marybethmcdonnell1623]

I’ve loved your videos since the beginning! I loved seeing you write in your notebooks haha and the food. Maybe I will finally become a vegan too

[@what_a_wonderful_witch]

Jennnny girrrl.... I have been making your vegan nut fudge recipe ever since the video posted years ago. It tastes like an all natural "Tootsie Roll" and have made your lemon Alfredo, so good, and was obsessed with your frozen berry/granola/plant milk situation HARd! Now all I want is noodle soup😂 Thanks for sharing your beautiful recipes once agian❤

[@JennyMustard]

omg i love that recipe :)

[@Gre_tel]

Yes more food vids! Maybe how you two make a weekend breakfast ? Also would looove to see one of you cooking in the gorgeous kitchen!

[@JennyMustard]

Great idea!!

[@TheHellmis]

Please please please Jenny, more Food/cooking videos, because it looks always so delicious, beautiful and inspire non vegan people like me, to try more vegan food😍👍. You make every plate with your stylish dishes and colorful food combos to an absolute dream to watch and I love these kind of your videos the most. I watched all your food related videos back in time and I wished we could get access to binge them over and over again😍👍. Many greetings from Germany 😘❤️

[@valeriaie8655]

Yes! I want the sweet version of this. I know the granola is sweet but you always prepare the most beautiful dishes with fruit and that video would be so good as well! :)

[@scotosha]

Yes please, more recipes. And since you’re into writing so much, why not surprise us with a cook book!

[@mariaelena997]

Yess I love your food videos, so happy to see one again!! 😍 so estithically pleasing and just delicious! Reminds me how much I love the whole food plant food way of eating 💚

[@mariaelena997]

Would be lovely to see what you prepare for Christmas and/or other holidays ❣️

[@lenkaklapalova]

Thank you for this video, Jenny. I fell in love with congee, and the main person to blame for this... is you 💚 What a satisfying thing to consume! Please make more of these videos. They are abnormally soul-soothing and inspirational.

[@JennyMustard]

Thank you so much!

[@katytallon1]

slow cooked vegan chilli is something I could eat a few times a week....lentils, chilli, beans and veggies. served with cabbage and rice, lime, coriander, salsa and avo.

[@nadia.lewis.]

So glad to see the long-awaited food video has arrived! :D I'll be trying all of these, for sure. I'm not vegan yet, but I'm going to get closer and closer...

[@targetedinsanfrancisco9895]

Make more food videos! Good to see you Jenny!

[@bodilrummelhoff7372]

Love that your vegan cooking videos are back amd it looks soo delishious❤ I eat vegan whole food too, since 10+ years and love it. It would be fantastic to see even more of the actual step by step preparation of your food if you would like to some time.

[@marian4472]

I've made the noodle soup about four times this week! It's that good, thank you 🤍

[@JennyMustard]

Great to hear!

[@stefaniepech2087]

Thanks, I will make the granola later today and can't wait for my kitchen to smell warm and cinnamony. I love smoothies and especially on busy days they are my gobto lunch. Have a great day ❤

Pok choi + black beans + shallots + ginger 👌 stirr fried, with lazy canned beans.

Wow so so goood....this gives me delicious in dungeon vibes somehow (the anime). The passion, the creativity and simplicity ❤❤❤

[@JennyMustard]

Couldn't agree more!

[@irisl854]

I love the recipes so much! I would also like to see a video from you about setting a table or food presentation as it always looks so good! No pressure, I just love the Mustard look. PS I loved your book, write more please!

[@luisa146]

Omg Jenny I agree so much, overcooked veggies are a crime against humanity. I believed I hated broccoli and cauliflower for so long. But it's just that my mum likes to cooks them until you can puree them with your fork.

[@helenabrozova8898]

Thank you for sharing your recipes, I’m not vegetarian or vegan, but love variety. Would like to see more in future 😊

Hi from another fellow addict to nutritional yeast! My combination adds also some grounded cashew nuts, is the cheesiest taste ever!

Started making your whole foods granola with cinnamon years ago and it's still something I almost always have at home!

[@JennyMustard]

It’s soooo good

[@lhs1221]

I loved this video!!❤❤❤ so many great ideas. I will definitely try making that salt mix with the hickory and ghost pepper salt I was once given. Your recipes are so easy and versatile!

[@TheMennomilist]

I have never had congee. I enjoyed learning how to make the things you put on here. I'd appreciate if you would show how to make your granola recipes. I have never made my own but love it. I would love to learn more recipes in the future. I am not sure what I could eat every day. I need variety in my palate.

[@magdalenapulgar3301]

Loved the video, reminded me of when you had a pixie cut and made lots of recipe videos! Seeing you enjoying your tea infusion made me think you may love argentinian "Mate". It's a herbal drink. I think you should try it. If not sweetened, it's quite bitter and earthy, but in a very nice way.

[@sm-rz7jp]

Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to make the congee and granola tomorrow!

[@AndreaAvila78]

😮OMG ! Your meals look amazing!!! 😋 I love your diet ! I had no idea you were a healthy vegan ! The tofu and the granola look perfect 😋. You're brilliant!!!❤ I love that you are vegan ! I had no idea! I'm relatively new to your channel. You're a very smart lady!!!

Yesss🎉🎉🎉 thanks!! Finally vegan recipes by Jenny❤❤❤

[@lucywerner6947]

This is such an amazing video. I love all of your inspirations, and a cocking video by you - oh wow. One question for the congee - you do not add any salt to it while cooking it, because you add your trinity later, right? Lots of love from Germany. Can't wait for your second novel, you are a stunning author.

[@gama7014]

More of these vid please :). I can't wait to try the granola and spice mix.

[@JennyMustard]

Hope you enjoy!

OMG im trying these recepies, they sound delicious

[@thattgirrl]

I wanna understand how you do so much in a day! How many hours of sleep do you typically get ?

[@nikedoesthings]

I just got my rice cooker fixed, have a huge bag of deliciously scented rice waiting and begging for me to cook it, and guess what, red lentils too .. I'm going to try this congee thing

[@ripcurlvegan]

Thanks for the idea, I'm going to try it! I've been eating a lot of normally cooked brown rice, and I am unsure about this idea, but I think it causes stomach issues, so I am keen to see what happens with congee :-)

[@tashawaters89]

Thank you! The nutritional yeast salt looks good, and sounds good too! I need more B vitamins.... I enjoy my tea.... If I don't have any on hand, I will drink freshly cracked black pepper and honey in hot water. Organic India teas are my favorite.... The original tulsi is basically just basil, it's quite healthful. I love bread, but have been leaning on rice, corn and potatoes. That congi looks great, thanks for explaining how to make it. :) conji?

[@maicagarcia9639]

As vegan i really thank you for this beautiful vidéo ❤ Do you have a vidéo with vegan chic handbags ? Thanks in advanced 🎉

[@DollyJohanne]

Please make more food videos 😊👍 I could eat Alpro coconut yogurt naturell (the tick one) everyday with frozen cherries 🍒 😋 So great with maple too. Smoked tofu are another favorite and can be eaten every day for both in meals, and as a snack 😋 😊 Thanks for sharing! Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

[@slurpiglimpan]

A video on tea would be amazing 😊

[@elvenrat]

Thank you for the video! I would love more recipies or cook alongs!

[@strwrsfan100]

I could eat gnocchi and Brussel sprouts pan fried every day of my life! Will have to try the noodle soup!

[@AM-bm2xw]

Lots of great ideas in this video, thank you jenny. I am not vegan but interested in trying these dishes. My husband really likes nutritional yeast for some reason, haha, so I am going to try that spice blend!

[@nazokashii]

This is exactly the kind of food I love to eat :) whole food vegan all the way :D I feel like I can taste all the natural flavours so much better since starting to eat this way ^^ so it's tasty, feels good, good for the anymals, and planet, everyone wins ;) thank you for sharing
