Love that you have Wasabread... My dad worked there for 46 years

[@Janet_Price]

I love looking in people's pantries and refrigerator's! Thanks for letting us take a peek. Yes, I'm a mustard girl as well. I walked to the farmers market this morning and bought some fresh apples, grapes and the best potatoes ever. I LOVE talking to the owners of the farms and they love talking about their farms and everything they sell. It's something I fully support - and it's all organic. Happy Birthday to you and your husband!

[@marsfran55]

@Lee Angelo , chuckling 😉....I have a rescue dog and while her daily dog food isn’t vegitarian, you should see her come running when I get out the romaine, to say nothing of the cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, carrots and the list goes on! Crazy how much she LOVES vegies ....and when I go out to the garden she beats me to both the peas and green beans if I’m not careful! And did I mention huckleberries??? Wow! She has a great nose for finding berries and she picks them herself even!!! I took several videos of her picking with me, what a hoot!

[@cathryneallen9257]

I just want to say that you look a picture of health and your looks just keep improving….you are an inspiration, plant based diet must be the way to go…♥️♥️♥️

[@domedweller4202]

Your plant based diet is definately working for you.You look gorgeous.💕

[@MarshaJohnson]

You really do. The black and white stripe is really nice on you too.

[@gailbender4802]

I just wanted to take a second and let you know that your videos have been so incredibly helpful for me. I'm 51 and started my WFPB journey on 08/24/17. Your videos have been so wonderful to refer to. I've made several of your recipes and especially the salad dressings and hummus. Just wanted to say thanks! Keep 'em coming! ;)

[@Truthhspm]

Gail Bender I am the same... 54 yr old & started Nutitarian about 2 months ago, akthough Ive been trying to eat mostly vegan for a year! I made Jills hummus tonight - BEST hummus Ive ever had!!! Its such an exciting time, learning about new products (tahini, curry paste, tamarind paste) and a better, healthier way to eat. And I have to say, I FEEL GREAT... tons more energy, clearer mind & better mood. Im a LIFER!!!❤️👍 Nice to see you (& other 50-yr-olds) on here, learning new things! xo

[@gailbender4802]

Just for those that don't believe it, old dogs CAN learn new tricks! ;)

[@cv7357]

Yep, I'm one of 'em!

[@Psaltrymom]

Happy 2-year WFPB anniversary!

[@alexlg9521]

@@gailbender4802 I wish my Mom could learn new tricks 😂❤️

[@DChristina]

Well done video, thanks. Was vegetarian for decades, vegan a few years, and now trying to get back to a eating healthier. I just love farm fresh eggs, and don't understand why anyone would think they're harmful. I don't check comments so not looking for feedback here. Thanks

[@MarshaJohnson]

Thank you for opening your kitchen to the world. Great guide to what everyday vegan is actually like. Also, love the model of the fridge! Great for organizing.

[@arnoldtruck8761]

You should try buying your dried beans, lentils etc at the bulk food store. They are a lot cheaper than buying them in small packages. Also I like to keep the essentials like dried beans ahead for about 2 to 3 months supply in case a disaster emergency happens, then there will be basic staple food to get through it.

[@nikkistyx6875]

Thank you for helping me. I’m on a restricted 🚫 salt intake so I only have salt that’s already naturally in food! Have not made the complete switch to plant based but through watching you I’m learning and I thank you for all your recipes! You truly are a life savior. The sweet potato bread I’m curious about haven’t had bread in months I’ve realized all the junk I put in my body. I’m weaning myself off of meat! With your help I see that being no problem. Thank you for all your dedication

[@CandiceNance]

Thank you so much for sharing your pantry and fridge! I appreciate the friendly and encouraging introduction to what to keep in your home for success on a WFPB diet!

[@petrawink6380]

...thanks for opening your awesome pantry and fridge...very helpful!!!...

[@vibrantlyjessica]

My MIL used to send my husband and me a big box of Omaha Steaks for Christmas, but now she sends us Rancho Gordo beans... my husband and I love them! The varieties are so fun. Looking forward to your Thanksgiving video!!

[@srinivasam3638]

👍👍Excellent tour of pantry and fridge, thank you very very much, With best wishes always, 🙏🙏 ( from India )

[@deborahs8941]

I agree with almost everything in your cupboard and fridge Although this is just me much older than you battling blocked arteries after years of eating wrong, so I nix Coconut milk, avocados, etc. that’s just me. I love your recipes. If there’s something in there I can’t eat I just Adjust, made your bean burgers tonight💖

[@MyCountryFavorites1]

My husband is in the military in shaves his face daily. He uses aloe vera afterwards has a soothing agent for his face. He also uses coconut oil to prep his face before he shaves. It works wonders for men that have to shave regularly. Thanks so much for the great video I am so glad I just found your Channel.

[@tngardener231]

Thank you, even though I haven’t started eating well yet. We have a whole other family living (that I also cook dinner for) with us due to a house fire. As soon as they are back home I am starting this way of eating. I feel horrible and need to stop taking care of everyone else and take the time to take care of myself, it’s a must. I’ve been watching your videos so I will be ready. Thanks again 🙏

[@alexlg9521]

How are you going now with the self care? ❤️

[@ashleyburks4639]

Hope your self love journey with food is all and well now.

[@lynflom125]

Me too.

[@TheJESUSCHRISTRULES]

Thank you. I appreciate your labor of sharing with a pure heart. Plus, in JESUS name, since I am a man and new to this type of eating hearing about your husband’s likes strengthened me. Thanks again, and we are glad that you’ll are back.😇

[@wrenbaldree618]

I buy extra cranberries every fall and freeze them that way I have them all year. Thank you for the tour.

[@Bushcraft242]

As a specialist sports nutrition personal trainer your videos are an inspiration motivation health fitness wellness

[@kamryncats4303]

Just a tip if you store your seeds in the fridge, along with most flour and nooch it stays fresh longer ! Thanks for the inspiration

[@serenasweeney4462]

Your so sweet thanks for the lovely insights into a vegan kitchen and pantry. Will be following your channel. I have a 4 year old that I'm transitioning and she loves helping me in the kitchen and she's doing fantastic

[@williamschildren855]

My family loves what your doing and i love the look of the lemon cake❤️

[@patty-cf7jj]

I’ve watched so many pantry tours. I wish there were closeups of the items you’re showing, I recognize most of them, but it I think it would help those new to being plant based.

[@debifritzsd]

This is awesome. It's 2021 and I'm just finding you. Just switched over and am trying to learn everything. So far you fit the bill perfectly for how we want to eat. (So many deviations for a plant based diet out there.) I ordered your cookbook and can't get enough of your videos. Thank you, Thank you, You are amazing. So far I've cut my blood sugars in half in 2 weeks. Went off 1 med and working on the second!!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

That is fantastic! I am so happy for you 😊

[@loriwitkop1389]

I am researching doing the plant based diet after a visit to the Dr and discussing Vegan. I watched Forks over knives and came upon your site, this is the second video (the first I seen was your 3 yr journey story)... I have to say thank you! your resources have me all fired up as well as seeing what you hold in your pantry. I'm looking forward to your other videos and am subscribing to your channel! Thank you and your family for a wonderful job and sharing your journey and tips with us! Like you, I thought I was eating healthy on the low carb diets.. .um.. really? with all the junk they do to those poor animals?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

lori smith Congrats on making this decision 👏👏👏👏👏

[@gulnaaznarang3373]

It's 2 a.m. in India and I'm binge watching all your videos. One of the few channels where I don't fast forward the videos but as far as I know, dogs need meat and shouldn't solely be fed plant based.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

We feed our dog Vdog that is specifically designed for vegan dogs and includes all of the nutrition they need. Here is an article that is well researched about dogs being plant based. vetnutrition.tufts.edu/2016/07/vegan-dogs-a-healthy-lifestyle-or-going-against-nature/

[@rayebaldwin9086]

Going have to watch this again and write down everything that you have. Im looking to go plant based.

[@reginawatson5923]

Please do a video on the different types of beans and how you use them. i really like your content, meal making, and inspiration. Thanks.

[@marklafollett6266]

I'm on my 3rd day of plant based eating. Thank you for the info. You look very healthy and vibrant!!!

[@zpoedog]

You are a wealth of information. Just discovered your channel. Spent the last few days watching your videos, trying to coming up to speed. THANK YOU!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

You're welcome =)

[@ashleyburks4639]

Absolutely loved the/this video so gosh darn much!! I'm all good on can goods and lentils, I have lentils gAlOre!! I love them.

[@robwin0072]

Jill, we are enjoying your whole food plant-based meal prep videos. For the fruits on your kitchen counter, how do you keep away gnats and fruit flies?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

We eat our fruit so quickly that the gnats never find them 😉

[@finallycarnivore]

I just found your show - it's great! Thank you for being so down to earth about eating a vegan diet - it's inspirational! If I were to go by the typical attitude out there today, around being vegan and veganism in general, I'd run away fast and far! Thanks for keeping it human...

[@merefrog]

Thank you for sharing this information. There are stores that sell food in bulk bins, so you can avoid the plastic packaging by bringing glass jars. You can buy beans, grains, seeds, nuts, dried fruit and noodles in bulk.

[@shondaet]

I don't have any stores in my area that have bulk food or I would do it.

[@Lisawhatshersname]

This pantry looks yummy. I just saw a video from Delish, she challenged herself to $5 per day for a week in NYC: She made some rice "crackers" that I think might help calm the crunch cravings 😊 They looked good!

[@anthonyzweb]

Thanks for the info, great for people like me going plant based. Starting out can be daunting.

[@ranitahogg7008]

Thanks for the video! Just another recipe for Aloe Vera Gel...a quarter cup of aloe gel and mix in 2 teaspoons of baking soda...makes a month's worth of natural deoderant...and no refrigeration needed. Keeps you fresh from morning til night. It also works for my husband. :)

[@HeartEvolutions]

Ranita Hogg how do you store and how do you apply

[@ranitahogg7008]

Lotus Blossom I apply a nickel size amount with fingertips. I stire on the counter. It needs to be remade after about 3 wks. It may last longer in fridge...but I have never tried.

[@brendajerickson5688]

I just want to say that I am so grateful that I found you and your channel! Just found you tonight. Thank you

[@Ryder-p3m]

I just found you.. i am a current meat eater and am trying to learn more vegan style meals. I am glad to have found your site... i have a long way to go on my journey!

[@gadste]

Hummus is life.. We have it here everywhere. Love from the middle east

[@AnaMaria-xn1ot]

Thank you Loni! Be careful with your teas. I was addicted to green tea, but any tea suppresses the iron absorption in your body. It happened to me, not for being vegan but for the tea drinking right after meals or with meals. Just a tip. Great video. Thanks!

[@susielecompte2017]

Just subscribed...heading towards Nutritarianism, currently Vegan. Thanks for what you do! Tip for you...get a Foodsaver sealer. It eliminates clips & reseals packages keeping food (bags of spices) fresh! I couldn’t live without one!!!

[@MotherOfFerrets75]

Am so glad you did this video. Am having to change up my eating habits to more vegetarian/whole food/vegan/raw due life stages. The older I get the more I find I can't tolerate or or no longer like certain foods. I keep dairy/meat consumption at a minimum but been trying to build up my whole food pantry staples. I now have a nice long list of things to acquire. Thanks for sharing your home, your recipes and pantry with us! :)

[@lostboi3974]

A healthy trick I do, because it sounds like me and you might be kindred hummus spirits 😆 is I ferment big mason jars of the already pealed garlic from Costco. And I make garlic, lime and cilantro hummus and I use the fermented garlic in the hummus. So it's basically like having probiotic hummus 😊

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Ooo yum 👍

[@quizeen]

I love seeing folks's pantries and fridges, and I appreciate that you have such great stuff but still have a bit of vino and such. We're all regular people, right?! Thanks!

[@wheezyyo1250]

Thanks! It really helps to see what other plant based family's have. It gives me ideas and to know that others have struggles with some foods(corn chips!😁😀)

[@marykaisler2485]

Thank you so much for the detailed tour! Just what I was looking for.

[@WinWithKeshia]

I’ve been binge watching all of your videos 😂 I have a problem with snacking on corn chips too. I like the crunchy corn taste

[@MsK-xm7vw]

I noticed with your celery it was just in a bag. If you wrap celery in tinfoil, it will last two weeks or longer in your fridge. Just a quick tip because celery wilts so quickly.

[@libertadbrito778]

You're a pro. Can't wait to reach your level of confidence. Congratulations ♻️🥑🥥🍄🍍👍😊

[@whitaker144]

I thought I was a health nut, You are more concerned about health than I am. I want to be more like you!

[@amyfoster465]

Do you do any canning with your garden produce? If so I'd love to see a video on that.

[@kiwifeijoa]

Good tour, very helpful with ideas on what to have on hand. I heard also that fenugreek seeds in the container helps veggies to last longer.

[@starshipcaptain4753]

I would love to move in and be a part of the WFPB family. Great tour.

[@martyschumacher6979]

Wow, nicely organized frig! That was very helpful, reminders of what to snack on and keep on hand. Thanks

[@fortheloveofgrey6045]

I've lived in the Midwest for many years now but the only mustard I eat is Weber's horseradish mustard from Buffalo, NY -- it's so good!

[@AnaGarcia-uq7zf]

Hello Jill! I’m wondering if your pantry has changed with time. It will be awesome if you can tell us about the new add ones and the goodies you have found and have! Thank you for this wonderful videos!

[@jerrychetty2524]

Great stuff Jill keep it up!

[@mixsy77]

Honey dew melon is my fav too! 😊

[@kitkatrnctw9004]

Great tour! Thank you for sharing... Cranberry sauce!!! Wondering how you make them without sugar??

[@sterrones50]

I'm so glad you showed this video it really helps a lot for a beginner

[@sterrones50]

Thank you ☺☺

[@hollywood7702]

You are really glowing!

[@heatherallingham7120]

Thanks for sharing. In my world, I have to put things like those bags of rice, flours and nutri-yeast etc into plastic stacking storage bins on my shelves to protect them from pantry moths and other vermin that would love to nest in them and know how to get there, even if the packs are unopened and especially if they're opened. It works like magic :)

[@kara_sergey_organic_farm]

Thank you! I was so relieved to see wine in your fridge :) 'cuz I can't give it up and I was kinda guilt stricken yesterday after having a glass of red one as I am in the process of transitioning to plant-based diet and wasn't sure about it...

[@duanecaringuthrie171]

could you do a video on what your go to meals are? Do you meal plan? Grocery list regular items?

[@Safire2159]

We love your videos -- thanks for sharing this with all of us! :)

[@dianechoate2906]

Very good video to help those of us that are trying to transition into vegan.

[@ritabogdanoff1674]

These are great videos

[@SusanB.-MayPeacePrevail]

Really appreciate you. Have and enjoying your book, too, but sad there's so much packaging in your pantry. Why not buy bulk for many of those items and cut down on all the non-recyclable packaging?

[@ItsMeMissRuby]

This was great thank you. I’d love to see your seasonings too

[@naturalone7215]

I normally make my own flours, but when I buy them, I put them in a glass jar to store. They store longer.

[@joannepereira5080]

Thank you for the tour so much good stuff I'm so hungry I saved your video so I don't forget some the things you buy , I have to stop watching your videos this late at night 🤦🏻‍♀️♥️

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Joanne Pereira 😂😂😂🤗

[@laurenbeckerle7977]

Gonna try your apple cider vinegar tip. Been eating a whole plant based diet since Labor Day weekend. The one thing it hasn’t changed much is my lovely period. Maybe slightly less crampy but not a huge difference. Still have moderate to severe cramps. Boo!

[@renatevannijen273]

Watching this from Europe, interesting tips, and thanks for the inspiration. Just starting on this whole food plant based adventure. I live in southern Spain and although more and more health food shops are opening, it can still be difficult to get certain products. Luckily you can make a lot from scratch... internet is great to find recipes. Have to say though that I cannot believe how much plastic you have in your fridge and pantry. Plastic is so devastating for the environment. I am very happy that I can buy organic locally and most is unpacked. I hope you recycle.

[@Melaniejd902]

It's very hard to buy flours, beans etc not in plastic in North America. Here in Nova Scotia, Canada we do have a bulk store that we now can bring our own jars to fill but to be honest, I haven't brought my own yet.

[@SurfFishingFan66]

Hi, thank you for you channel and for the helpful information. I was looking for WFPB salad dressing recipes and found your recipes, I'm going to make them soon. I'm not quite 100% plant-based yet, but getting there.

[@shereengoudeau2863]

That was sooSoosoo cool. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Have you guys tried tempeh waffles? You just slice it in strips layer it in ur waffle maker and it makes yummy waffles.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Haven't tried that

[@kellieturley5111]

I like you!!!! So simple...so easy...no fluff....I just discovered you today. I LOVE Dr. Fuhrmans book. I've been changing the way I eat and working of following his way. Your tour of the pantry and fridge was so helpful! Also I'm excited to learn more from you. Thank you for sharing!

I go to dollar store if you have something in your area like that and get glass jars with lids to store your flour and beans they are real cheap.

[@surfdetective]

Thanks for letting us snope around...very informative

[@ghrohrs2025]

I wish you were my mom. I'd love to eat at your house all the time. You eat everything I eat but I'm getting tired of cooking every meal since I never eat out anymore. So happy for your family. You're a great role model for unhealthy America. If they ever wake up and snap out of the corporate epidemic they're being manipulated by, they might figure out this is a much better diet regimen. The dopes will say, "I eat crap because IT TASTES GOOD". Hahahaha. Good luck with that. We know better. Good food is delicious and nutritious. Just takes more discipline and effort, which lazy people refuse to exhibit.

[@amirahsadre4570]

Did you say fessenjoon? That’s one of my favorites. How do you make it vegan?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Like this 😃 plantbasedcookingshow.com/2019/09/29/vegan-fesanjoon/

[@grandmabarbs175]

I make my own flax seed crackers in dehydrator...love that crunch!!! Found recipe on-line. Try that for crunch. Love your recipes. I just started plant based about a month ago. And I wish I could get used to the chick pea taste, but not! So hummus is out for me. I make your oat milk now since I am trying to steer clear of the nuts for a while, to lose weight. And after I make some buns I am going to try your carrot dogs...how are they on the flat bread? Keep the recipes flowing. God Bless, from Barb in Southwestern Michigan

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Hi 🌸you have all the signs of eating healthy whole food with your beautiful head of healthy hair 😊

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

I know this video was made back in 2017. Wanted to suggest using washable cloth bags and buy grains, rice, nuts, seeds, dried mushrooms in bulk and store in glass Mason jars. We also use washable cotton cloth bags when buying fresh fruits and vegetables at the store or farmers markets. If possible invest in an Excalibur food dehydrator or save up for a small Harvest Right freeze dryer. We store ALL ground flour in the freezer since once ground it the oils can go rancid. We also avoid plastic as much as possible, choosing instead to use all glass containers and as needed glass with a silicon cover. Since we grow a garden I also learned to pressure can vegetables, vegetable broths, no sugar fruits since I dislike store bought canned foods. Coconut milk I buy by the case which saves us money at Costco. We do go over to Napa to buy heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo that we don't grow. LOVE their beans!

[@evgenys177]

Really nice lady. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@A_A828]

Thank you so much for this channel! I've gotten so much inspiration and great recipes from here. I'm a 22 year old WFPB college student, and I've been really low on cash lately, any chance you could do a little series on quick and cheap recipes for people in a similar position like mine sometimes? I'm getting tired of my oatmeal, barley, pasta and frozen veggies! I find that I've been losing a lot of valuable time cooking lately, which I'd rather use for socializing and studying.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Vladimir Yuvachov Beans are a great, affordable and filling. 🤗

[@johnboyhowell]

I adore those canned tri-blend beans from publix. Out of interest, do you have a video or recommendation of your go to stir fry sauce.

[@weemeemoo]

Oh my goodness, you said fesenjoon with tempeh no less! How'd you get introduced to this Persian dish? You are amazing and inspiring as look to transition to a plant based diet as well :)

[@pattygardner231]

I like your shows very much. I’m very interested in a vegan lifestyle, but I’ve found it difficult to get stated. Then I happened on your show. Your very informative, with a good, organized approach on how to actually do it. I’ve done the shopping, and made a few meals. I can see how doable it is now. I’m not so overwhelmed. So, thank you! I do have a concern though. You are eating mushrooms, which I love, and your saying they help prevent breast cancer. My concern is, your also eating soy, tofu and Tempe, which sets you up for breast cancer. The first report I read on this issue was back in the 90s from studies done through Northwestern University, and Harvard Medical. I read about these studies in Prevention Magazine. Since then, there has been more and more information supporting this. I was glad to hear your getting away from soy milk. Once again, I’m getting so much out of your shows, and your style of teaching.

[@narrowgate4229]

What an awesome bounty of goodies. That's so awesome u have tamarind paste, I've been dying to get some especially due to there ability to detox heavy metals from body!

I cook for 2 and I have a bigger stock. Yours wouldn't provide me. But I do struggle with cooking way to much then food waste. I'm gonna have to watch you to see how you met it out and still have enough product. I would be scared I wouldn't have enough.
