[@PlantBasedDads]

Hello everyone. This is my last Week of Lunches video for the current school year. I also have to say goodbye to the school I am working at. Let me know in the comments below if you diet changes over the summer.

[@cherylshort5005]

Ok your broccoli, never just steam in the bag,, i was craving broccoli at 3 am. So I grabbed a bag, dumped it in a bowl safe to microwave. Liberal sprinkle of lemon pepper (no salt) added a splash of water. Microwave till done about 6 minutes. The smell woke my partner who came out to the living room asking what I made and was there enough to share lol trust me, lemon pepoer doesn't leave a flavor but makes your veg taste anazing!!

[@CoachCarolAnn]

You are such a nice, genuine person, Joey, that it doesn’t surprise me that the middle school wants to keep you and that the new high school snapped you up. You will make a positive impact on a whole group of new young people who will be lucky to have you. Oh, gotta try that veggie soup! Don’t know how I’ve missed the recipe all this time. 😁

[@PlantBasedDads]

Carol Ann, I was just shocked that anyone was even interested in hiring me at all. As much as I loved teaching math, the HS position was the one I needed to be with my son. I hate change but this is the right choice. Thanks so much for watching.

[@katiebeals1960]

I just enjoy your videos so much and you inspire me so much. I'm an 82 yr old and was finding it very difficult to cook 3 meals a day but after watching you I've started meal peeping and my fridge looks organized and I have 3 meals a day prepped for 5 days. Thank you!🌹

[@jillponce2802]

Congratulations!! It’s a double edged sword for a kid to have his parent also a teacher in your same school. It’ll all work out. The universe certainly came around and found you something that worked very well for your family.

[@PlantBasedDads]

Jill, I know right? All of this just lined up right in front of me. It is kind of an unbelievable coincidence for sure. Thanks so much for always commenting and supporting the show.

[@kyciarelli3847]

Those baked beans sound so good! What a fantastic nutritious week of eating!

[@robynkoehler1904]

Love you Joey!!! 🥰

[@FF-pn7fx]

I Love this guy🧚🏻‍♀️🥰

[@miriamwalter2488]

I'm a new teacher too! I enjoy watching your school lunch videos especially and getting ideas. I hope your new school has been wonderful too!

[@PlantBasedDads]

New teacher lunch video coming this week. Thanks so much. I am loving my school and my job. I hope you are too. Lets chat about how the year when once it's over.

[@roverdover4449]

Congratulations. If you can survive as a teacher, then you are a great teacher. I couldn't survive (2 years, done).

[@PlantBasedDads]

So far I am loving it, but the behavior issues are a nightmare to deal with for sure.

[@susielecompte2017]

Sweet! Perhaps you could pin it to the lanyard string?

[@PlantBasedDads]

Susie, that's a great idea. It was such a sweet gift.

[@chelleec23]

Hi Joey ❤️

[@pagewhite8177]

I’ve had two friends who had the same thing happen to them with trying to get their high school kids into a school closer to ours and the district would not accommodate them. It’s infuriating. Different district, different state, same stuff. Anyway, great lunches! Thanks for the video and I hope you have a nice summer.

[@stephikarolyi8706]

*Tips for picking out cantaloupe* Starting with the outside you want it to be more tan and less green. If you can smell put your nose up to the melon and the sweet smell of the cantaloupe surface should be noticeable. A lot of bumps and bruises can make it mushy and pungent but a little bit of give (lets say you would worry if you tossed it into the cart a little too hard that it might bruise) is optimal. As far as storing it for the best taste I cut off only what will be eaten and then leave the rest with the seeds still intact so it retains it's moisture best. Best of luck on your next purchase.

[@PlantBasedDads]

I love all of this information. Thanks.

[@kels6794]

Ooh. Can’t wait to try the vegetable soup and also the potato squash bake. Thanks for sharing your story and your recipes!

[@carolbixby-mcdonald5660]

That potato squash casserole made my mouth water!!

[@PlantBasedDads]

Check out the video where I make it. I used multi colored peppers in that one and it is soooooo good.

[@imperfectvegan5724]

Your thank you to the current staff was very touching, and I'm sure it meant a lot to them! Hope next year's new schools bring many wonderful experiences for both you and Lex!

[@jasminehayes4810]

First grade teacher here! I am definitely making ALL of these recipes. Yummo. Thanks for sharing. 😁

[@PlantBasedDads]

Hi Jasmine. Thanks so much for all you are doing as a teacher for the littles. You are amazing!

[@staceyfuller9086]

Hi Joey, I’m not a big fan of all the ingredients; BUT at your recommendation, I’m going to make it and I will follow up with you. I’m still lifting you and your family up in prayer 🙏🏾

[@laurelwenson928]

I don't care for chickpeas, so I just sub another bean...I also throw in some extra veggies depending on what's in the fridge.

[@PlantBasedDads]

If you are talking about the soup, then yes, leave out what you don't like and add what you do like. The idea of this soup originally was to use what was in the fridge. Thanks so much for watching.

[@oldarchived]

congratulations, all the best moving forward

[@charlenesmith209]

Congratulations, you and Lex both will do well!!

[@helfyre6115]

i try to eat the fruit first as it digests faster than the cooked food

[@PlantBasedDads]

I probably should mention that in the videos too but yes, you are right about that.

[@beanfeast57]

Good luck with the new job. Thanks for a wonderful video. Shell X

[@fpicc8807]

I’m a teacher as well. But overnight oats is what I already eat for breakfast as I drive to school. Therefore, I would not desire eating it again for lunch. I am trying to come up with Blue Zone stuff that is less breakfast driven. But thanks for sharing

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

Yeah congratulations 🍾🎈🎉🎊

[@laurelwenson928]

What amazing lunches! I know you've made a huge impact on so many kids while there -- and you'll make more next year, even if Lex tries to keep a bit of a boundary at school. Good luck with your summer recovery, and can't wait to try a couple of these!

[@PlantBasedDads]

Thanks so much Laurel. I am excited about next year also. Lexx won't be in any of my classes so he should be safe. I will update everyone on how the surgery goes. I think Tim wants to film what he is bringing me for food while I am in the hospital.

[@trishserenil3943]

You ARE the “best of the best of the best!” Congratulations and thank you for all your videos!!! 🎊

[@PlantBasedDads]

Aww, thanks so much Trish. I am very excited to be teaching HS next year

[@barbhayes5613]

So happy you found a position that works for your family - more living with less driving! Sending you healing thoughts for your upcoming surgery ( bring a tablet or phone with headphones so you can have audio books and podcasts to fill your time). Cheers!

[@PlantBasedDads]

Barb , I am going to catch up on comments from the last 9 months. That's my plan.

[@amyg918]

Great video - Good Luck to you and Lex in your new school and adventures

[@pmgandco6322]

Congratulations on your new adventures! A recommendation for next level cantaloupe: sprinkle a batch of bite sized chunks with basil. Let it marinate for a while. I use dried basil because it’s in teeny tiny bits, so it doesn’t overpower with each bite. During melon season, this is the number one request I get to bring to parties. It’s good on honeydew, too, and orange slices cut into bites, and pineapple. I toss watermelon bites with spearmint.

[@PlantBasedDads]

Wow, I am totally trying that next time. Thanks.

[@nancycosgrove4005]

Great video💕

[@jmknudsen5357]

High school students are a whole different animal. You'll love it!

[@PlantBasedDads]

JM, I know. That's what I am hoping for. Middle school was a battleground. I am worn out.

[@kimpatrono9472]

Congratulations on your new job starting in August and Lexx transferring to a swim team high school! What good news! I’m sorry that it didn’t work out in the school you’re at now, but hopefully it worked out for the best for you and your family! Hugs for you Joey! ❤️

[@PlantBasedDads]

Thanks Kim. This is the best move for me for sure. I just hate change.

[@angelinakelly3222]

Congrats! I took Comp Sci in college many years ago when Comp Sci was barely a subject in most schools. You'll do so great

[@PlantBasedDads]

Angelina, thanks so much. I am excited to get started teaching Computer Science for sure.

[@enchantinglysimple]

I have really enjoyed your work lunch videos! It's bittersweet to go through changes, however I wish you well through them. Your meals always inspire me. - Sarah

[@PlantBasedDads]

Hi Sarah, thanks so much for watching. I hate change too but I believe this one is the right option for me. Thanks so much for always supporting the show.

[@andreawalker7138]

Great recipes (and meal ideas), thanks! Congratulations and good luck with your new teaching job; it sounds like the universe wanted you there.

[@PlantBasedDads]

Andrea, it all kind of just lined up that way, right?

[@kateburk2168]

You were talking about how thankful you were to the teachers around you.👍 Am sure they felt the same. It's delightful when things work out like it appears to have. Of course, Lex was going to be unhappy from his point of view. Normal reaction. My Dad was a teacher but he taught in various counties in Michigan. I was placed in the church school 1/2 mile from the house. He was often the principal for the school he was in for the year. So...when it came to activities, I could join in, be it Christmas or a skate party & I would often get overwhelmed by offers to partner up for a song to skate by. School is different these days...shoot, life is different. Am happy you are relieved about placements for new year. Few more weeks, surgery, recoup time & summer will be gone! Life will take off again!😎

[@PlantBasedDads]

You are right about the next few weeks. A lot is going to happen and then I will be back to work again. I will keep all of you updated on how the surgery goes. Thanks for always commenting and supporting the show Kate.

[@brendasullivan4095]

I absolutely love these teachers additions!! I am a teacher too and it has helped me with ideas so much!

[@PlantBasedDads]

Brenda, so exciting to hear this. I love doing them too. I will pick it up again in the fall. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It means a lot to me, especially from a fellow teacher.

[@suzyq6767]

Fruit and oats not exciting?!? I love them both and find them exciting every. single. morning. All of your food looks yummy. Yup. Family first always. Saying a prayer for you. God bless. Get well soon.

[@PlantBasedDads]

Sometimes, that's all I want. Simple is good, right? Thanks so much Suzy.

[@ruthhorndasch5244]

❤❤❤

[@MichaelToub]

Congrats on the new chapter !!

[@PlantBasedDads]

Michael!!! Thanks so much. I am nervous because all the kids will be much bigger than me in the new school. Hopefully I won't have to use the dad voice. Ha! Tell the hubs we said hello.

[@SB-000]

I hope your son has adjusts to his new school! Sometimes that change in a kids life is very difficult on them. Try to make sure he is able to connect with his current friends.

[@PlantBasedDads]

He will adjust. He knows its for the best and he will have a lot more friends now that he is at a swim school. He current school doesn't have swim and he swims for a local swim club for 8 years now. He should be on a HS swim team. This will give him so many more opportunities for friends. He will do fine. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It means a lot to me.

[@leahvincerouse]

So glad I caught this video! First because my daughters boyfriend is coming from New York up here to Canada to meet us in person 😬 His favourite food is “soup” 😂 So I am definitely going to try to make this soup! And the other reason is just to say good luck to you and sending healing energy for your surgery. 🙏🏻💜💜💜🤗

[@PlantBasedDads]

Leah thanks so much for the kind words. I am from NY and I loved bagels and soups my whole life so I understand the soup part for sure. New Yorkers get a bad rep but we are passionate people and we care about things deeply. Keep that in mind when you meet the daughters BF. Have a great summer!

[@phillippinter7518]

Thank you for showing fruit. There's been so many vegan what I eat in a days lately with people jamming in and advertising pea and soy protien isolates and not eating any fruit.

[@PlantBasedDads]

I try to stick with whole foods so they are Starch Solution compliant. Those powders won't work for SS no matter how much money Vivolife wants to pay me.

[@1man1year150]

You're giving great ideas here Joey. I just made a new cheesy tangy oil free sauce completely from scratch on my own that would go great on top of the squash potato casserole. Crazy to think that I found your channel 2 years ago and and here I am still doing doing tons of starch.. I'm running proof that carbs don't make you fat.

[@PlantBasedDads]

Great to hear from you. Yes you have dispelled that myth for sure. You should totally use your new cheese sauce for this recipe. It would work great.

[@beccogiallo]

When I hear the word squash I always think of something orange, but that looked like zucchini, right? The red pepper pasta looked amazing. Congratulations on the lovely pin and new job.

[@PlantBasedDads]

Thanks so much Anna Maria. We call yellow zucchini "Squash" here. But it really is yellow zucchini to other people. That pasta really is amazing. Thanks so much for watching.

[@sherri.]

Putting some cantaloupe on my shopping list! The convenience of having Lexx where you teach will be amazing. I was going to suggest to use your maiden name at the new school, but I guess people will figure it out sooner than later. 🤔

[@PlantBasedDads]

Sherri, how did you know I changed my name? I don't even remember ever mentioning that. That whole story is a crazy one and I need to tell it one day. They need to come up with a new term for our pre-marriage last names. I don't really identify as a maiden. HA! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It means a lot to me.

[@catfish9539]

Your such a kind man. I bet the children adore you. Just curious how you can work as a teacher without being qualified? Is that a regular thing in America?

[@PlantBasedDads]

Hello. So, I do have a Career and Technology Teaching Certificate that qualifies me to teach my previous career of 14 years, which was a Computer Network Engineer. So I am qualified to teach the computer science class. I am still working on my degree in education so I can't teach anything else. I was teaching the math class all year as a substitute. So really, its the math class that I wasn't qualified for. But, there are not enough teachers so desperate times call for desperate measures. It turned out great and I loved as as did the kids. Thanks so much for watching.

[@theveggiecat2147]

Hi there, new subscriber following from Italy, you're just too nice 🙂🙃!!!!

[@PlantBasedDads]

My family is from Sicily.

[@dd1394]

Love your teacher pin. Would it fit better on your lanyard? In my profession (health care) our lanyards are full of badges, achievements, licensing memberships etc.

[@PlantBasedDads]

That is a great idea. I never thought of that

[@GriefCoachCindy]

Add me to the fan list for the ten vegetable soup!

[@PlantBasedDads]

Its too good Cynthia. I have a video on it and its also a printable recipe on www.plantbaseddads.net under recipes. Thanks so much for watching.

[@ruthannlewis6471]

Hope you’re doing well, have you been back to the doctor? ♥️

[@PlantBasedDads]

We are scheduled to go on June 18th for pre-opp.

[@ruthannlewis6471]

[@pamb3936]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@geordieinca9834]

Is it ok to eat bread on Mary’s mini?

[@PlantBasedDads]

On Starch Solution its fine if its just simple ingredients like sourdough bread. But on Marys Mini, bread is not included.

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

Yummy 🤤

[@phillippinter7518]

Do you allow social outcasts to eat lunch in your classroom?

[@PlantBasedDads]

Phillip, YES! Those are all my favorite students!

[@kristinheimburg1371]

Looks like you lost weight.

[@belindatraviss4926]

Great show, well done for getting the new job, glad they see what an amazing person you are, as we all know, perhaps now You will believe it too!, Try to take some Joey time once school ends. 🥦🥬 x

[@PlantBasedDads]

We are on vacation in MN right now and trying to take it easy until the surgery on June 20th. Thanks so much for watching.
