You can buy any houseplant and a some lawn feed for a tenth of that price. For that money you could a little forest going.

[@CaptivePuppet]

@@David-jx4gwI think the packets are filled with specific microbes, though. But you could probably grow your own cultures of that colony and save money that way. Use the packets as a starter and take care of them separately. Idk though, just an idea.

[@David-jx4gw]

@@CaptivePuppet I assumed it was fertilizer, it is some organism but I couldn't find out what it is called, but it is probably present in soil anyway, but that is a good idea to keep a culture going.

[@missfroghophophop6953]

You made this way harder. Pop those spuds in the microwave 10min for 2 . 8 min for 1. Also stops you from heating up the kitchen lol I make a taco sweet potato. Black beans, avocado, onion, cilantro, tomatoes peppers of your choice, beef alternative of your choice ( I’ll usually do tofu tossed in better than bouillon and taco seasoning ) top with nutritional yeast or vegan cheese little follow your heart sour cream .

[@betsycarter7792]

I'd love to see all the sweet potato recipes

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Heck yea on the challenges. Especially if food related, you’re detailed POV would make it interesting and right up your alley.

I second this! put that science mind to work!

[@Sparkel1000]

do exactly what makes you feel authentically happy and the views and people enjoying your videos will follow as much as long as that knowing is in your heart. hope to see the new that you want to explore.

Black beans go great with sweet potatoes.

[@atrotsiuk]

ooohhh I wanna try that!!! Thanks for the tip!

[@madonna816]

This!

[@VisualizeHealing]

Black beans go better with sweet potatoes than chickpeas.

[@TKevinBlanc]

@@VisualizeHealing Although, I've had chickpeas in a Buddha bowl. They were pretty good.

[@VisualizeHealing]

@@TKevinBlanc Absolutely. I put them in Buddha bowls often. With a sweet potato however, I would prefer another bean.

Yes! Do the sweet-potato-a-day challenge! This looks great!

[@SauceStache]

It’s looking like a yes!!

[@stacimariej]

Long time viewer here: personally love the direction your channel has been taking toward more simple, easy meals. Some challenges would also bw fun to watch.

[@zombieson285]

I love your current videos. here is help cooking healthy easy to make things. I normally do not watch those challenge videos but if you will enjoy it than do it! you are the captain of your ship!

[@stephanie2533]

I definitely want to see the many ways to make sweet potatoes. To me, they’re like pumpkin pie, and as we head into the holidays, I’m eager to find whole food vegan alternatives to traditional holiday treats, so I can avoid the holiday weight gain, especially when it comes to avoiding refined ingredients like sugar, flour, salt. If you can invent a wholesome allulose sweetened “eggnog”, this would be so immensely appreciated.

[@gabdaste]

[@JTMusicbox]

Awesome recipe! Will have to try it soon! Thanks! Don’t know if you ever experimented with the temperatures but the enzymes in sweet potatoes that convert the starches to sugars are released at a much lower temperature and once it gets too hot are deactivated so sometimes we bake them for a while much lower then raise the temp to finish.

[@TomMaynard--TCM--]

I'd like to see your 'sweet potato challenge.' I'd steal your ideas and try it myself (with my wife).

[@aicbrian]

I wonder if a separate channel for those challenges would be better. Keep this as a recipe channel and the second channel, lifestyle, challenges, vlogs

[@SauceStache]

Not a bad idea, but I would either do it or not.. this channel alone takes me 40+ hours a week and I don't have the energy for a second channel. I dont know how some of these creators do it with 10 different things going on.

[@drunkbunny94]

The tomato salad is just basil (maybe some balsamic vinegar) away from being bruschetta. Coming into autumn now I'd like a few more quick, hearty dinners

[@JaniceMartin-fd8mr]

I don't have sweet potatoes daily but several times a week. Your challenge sounds fun. My personal current challenge is to add 1 new fruit or vegetable every week and see how many different ways I can eat it/cook it.

[@raphaellieberman9888]

I’ve seen a similar sweet potato chickpea recipe and we’ve added tahini to the sauce with chickpeas and it’s amazing, I’ll make this for sure, takes me back!

[@Jaylovewe_are_cookingvegan]

If challenges seem fun FOR YOU - absolutely go for it! It just feels so much nicer to watch things you are genuinely happy to film, edit and talk about even if it means you focus on different topics! I can see you are still insecure about this shift towards different types of content than you used to make but hey, your personality has always been the most important part so share what feels right! Also, sweet potatoes are just so so good - I am not surprised you enjoy them so much as base for a meal :D

As I also commented on Merle's video, did you know that you can purchase flat parchment paper? I have it for my 1/2-sheet pan, but you can also purchase for 1/4-sheet pans. It comes in a flat package so no need to crumble the parchment paper to get rid of the tendency to curl at the ends. Its only 6:30 AM, and my mouth is watering. Sweet potatoes for the win!

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Dinner doesn’t have to be a big fancy meal, it just needs to taste great, be relatively easy to make - at least during the week, and it should deliver the nutrition that you need. Chickpeas are a big part of my diet, with my go-to meal being chole chaat, which uses a lot of the ingredients shown in this video: chickpeas cooked in black tea and lots of Indian spices, combined with fresh tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, some chilies, fresh herbs, and potatoes (I usually use sweet potato). I usually add tamarind chutney, green chutney, and yogurt. If I have pita chips or peanuts, I may add them for more crunch. It’s really good! Heavy on carbs perhaps, but it’s not a problem for me. You can also turn a can of chickpeas into a really good pizza crust. I’m not kidding, I was skeptical but also curious, so I made a quick margherita pizza with fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic, and fresh mozzarella (I’m not vegan). I thought I would take a slice and probably toss the rest, but it was really freaking tasty. My legume hating child took a slice, ate it while standing in front of it, then took half the pizza after declaring it better than delivery. Go figure.

[@katharina1788]

How do you turn chickpeas into a pizza crust?

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

@@katharina1788 Here’s the recipe I have used for awhile. I think you need to eat it very hot, but my son says it’s perfectly fine at room temperature. Pizza Crust: 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained 1 egg ½ cup all purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt, to taste ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon italian herb seasoning ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese Pizza Topping: 3 tablespoons pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes 3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, then brush 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil over it. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas, then add to a blender or food processor together with the egg, flour, cheese, and seasonings. Process until you get a smooth dough. Transfer chickpea pizza dough over to the sheet of baking paper, then with the help of your oiled hands shape into a thin pizza crust. Try to make it as thin and even as possible. Spread sauce over the crust and sprinkle on shredded mozzarella cheese. Place the chunks of fresh mozzarella evenly over the crust. Add the toppings of choice, but don’t overload it or you’ll get a soggy crust. Bake in hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted and the pizza crust is golden baked on the bottom. Definitely do not take it out too soon, because you want the crust to be crispy and the cheese to be melted and bubbly. Serve very hot.
