What I Eat in a Week | Cold Weather Comfort Food (Vegan)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you so much for watching this video! I really love seeing the response every time a new one comes out. 🥰 Also, how freaking cute is Mary?? We’ve known her for so long and our friends are so happy she made the video. 🥹

[@AF-ke9by]

Sarah, to make the cornbread a little more moist, substitute part of the cornmeal with prepared masa. The finer texture seems to keep it moist. I have been doing it for years, and will always. 😊

[@emilyclark6330]

That's absolutely adorable when you were explaining when you lost power, playing video games and eating homemade food. This just shows that womderful food and company makes for an amazing night to remember ❤️

[@thebarisinger]

Sarah, your videos are such a balm to the soul. This was just the right thing for fighting off the Sunday scaries

[@kaseyrompallo2411]

Balm to the soul… I love that

[@katievdbshsh757]

Your Thanksgiving meals looks great. Going to try it in 2 weeks when my grandson comes over. All recipes I will be cooking in month of Jan 2024. Can you believe 2023 is almost over, 1 day left in 2023. Happy new Year 🎉🎉🎉

[@KaptainKitten]

Soaking your cornmeal in plant milk for a bit before mixing it in helps with dry cornbread so much!

[@brothermayihavesomeloops7048]

Just the cozy video I needed. I moved to Portland in June, so it's my turn this year to be extra SAD without sun for days on end. 😮‍💨 I've alao missed the podcast. Hope you guys can find the time for another episode soon! Happy holodays 🎉

[@jayhutchinson1962]

I just found your KZbin channel and I love it love it love it, it makes me so happy to see young people living this lifestyle. I became a vegan when i was 15 in 1974, your videos are very well written and edited good job ❤

[@cheerubebayonettaholopaine2638]

oh god, i wasnt even alive then! im in awe ❤🎉🎉

[@cheerubebayonettaholopaine2638]

i love her channel, im vegan now since around 12 yesrs and come back pretty often to get inspired 😊

[@lisalouise999]

You don't need a tortilla press if you want to try the corn tortillas first. You just need a piece of plastic folded in half (I use large a plastic food bag), oil/non stick spray and something flat to squash them with (I use the lid of a pyrex dish). Spray the plastic, put a ball of tortilla dough on it, fold the plastic in half so the ball is sandwiched. Then squash the covered ball with the flat lid or pan

[@jessicaredman-27]

It's 33 degrees where I am in Texas this morning (6:46am) and this is the perfect video to watch while staying cozy in my pajamas.

[@rnmatsuda]

I love your videos - I don't cringe when you cut veggies as I do with other youtubers (afraid that they will hurt themselves). You're such a great cook - I learn so much from your videos.

[@simplewithsofia]

Yumm!! I love that you make big batches and eat throughout the week because that’s so much less intimidating for me than cooking for every single meal!!

[@maetaylor5677]

Looking at meals like this really makes me think about how valuable learning to cook at home is. Any person would be hard pressed to find Gyoza like this anywhere! And here you are sharing this recipe making phenomenal food at home. Inspiring. Ive never made gyoza from scratch but would liked to try after watching this. I am pretty lazy, but damn these look so good

[@juliac6309]

I made the broccoli cheddar soup last night and it is SO good!!! I’ll definitely be making it again!

[@sandrabraga7269]

OMG so many things to share: * I was born in Brazil, now in Canada and going to Colorado next week for work. Not a friend of the winter , the short days and the snow freak me out 😂 * Your food looks amazing * I love a good soup ( even when is not cold) and i also prefer savory breakfast. Soups make the greatest breakfast Love your videos , wishing you a year full of good vegan deliciousness ❤

[@Fiftynine414]

You are one of my favorite vegan cooks. Your food is so comforting and homestyle, your recipes are not made impossible to watch by being too full of self-focused blather.

[@zepzour7391]

you're my favorite vegan content creator for entertainment. the videos are so comforting to watch/listen to. I often have them on repeat while im working/studying or playing games. I'll be honest I haven't had the chance to try many of your recipes, but I'm sure they are delicous! I get most of my recipes from RainbowPlantLife, they are so good, and im a habitual eater so I often don't branch out enough. Your videos are comfort for my soul though :D

[@hierrbatera]

so beautiful! i sometimes struggle to know what to cook everyday... but watching your video taught me to not overthinking it, you can actually create something so delicious with such a simple ingredients

[@jenscats808]

Hi Sarah!! I've missed you and so glad to see a lentil soup AND a mushroom dish. I just got the most lovely mushrooms and needed ideas.

[@alianathefoxfairy]

Girl I NEED that caramel pumpkin pie recipe asap!!! It looks so good!!

[@B_ready4671]

I shop 4 a recipe and then change my mind almost every week😄

[@annmacdonald468]

Baking cornbread in the instant pot makes it really moist and delicious.

[@thatgirlmarkie]

I love seeing you cook from scratch! I highly recommend Mary’s Test Kitchen video on dumplings. I used that recipe and it was very simple! Granted, my dumplings weren’t nearly as pretty as yours and Eric’s.

[@pinkhope84]

I make the same dough for pierogie, flour, salt, oil, hot water. My Favorit filling is ruskie. Potatos, fried onoin, Quark (German dairy Product) butter salt and pepper. So good with a bowl of beetroot soup on the side.

[@maetaylor5677]

Im in Arizona and this winter been feeling a touch of seasonal depression. This is comforting to watch. Love the ideas.

[@arj-peace]

Thanks for the vid. I live in MN and I struggle with the short dark winter days too. Soup definitely helps! As well as walks in nature (no matter the weather), lots of hot tea, sleeping later, daily meditation, epsom baths, seeing friends regularly, and my happy light when there are too many gray days in a row. Sending you sunshine and good vibes. ☀😎💛

[@Sarah-eb9rz]

As always every meal you made look so delicious. I agree with you when it comes to keeping thanksgiving simple. Less clean up and stress is always good . After seeing your homemade tortillas I need to try making them! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your love ones.

[@zednone8768]

One cornbread tip (from a long family line of cooks): put a couple of tablespoons of oil in the bottom of your cast iron skillet and put it in the oven when you start the preheat. After you've mixed all the cornbread ingredients, pull the hot skillet from the oven and pour in the batter. You should hear a bit of sizzle as the batter spreads out. Don't be concerned if the oil comes up the sides--hot oil "seals" the batter and helps the keep the moisture in the finished cornbread. All the greats and grans and moms used bacon grease for this. I use olive oil!

[@juliachamberland4712]

Your videos are just such a delight, Sarah. I've been watching for years and years, and I'm always excited to see a new one! ❤

[@theresamnsota3925]

I’m so glad you discovered the brilliance that is sausage in your stuffing. My family has always put sausage in their stuffing. This was my first Thanksgiving as a vegan. I’ve never been a fan of my MIL’s mushy stuffing, so I pretty much made my own Thanksgiving meal at my MIL’s next to their traditional meal. The Impossible sausage gave me the taste of home just in a serving of stuffing.

[@miguelinabnasr3719]

Sarah, so happy you are back! Thanks so much for posting this video!!! It's great to see these recipes because gets thoughts going on what to make next!

[@andreaanonymous5474]

Hi Sarah, Instead of rolling out the homemade Gyozas individually, I would try just rolling the dough out in one big sheet then using the cookie cutter to quickly cut the circles out for each one. Basically the same way you would roll out cookie dough to then cut with a cookie cutter. That's not the traditional way they are made perhaps, but it would definitely be easier and quicker that way. Just an idea that I thought might make your life a little easier. :)

[@patricelockertanthony7630]

@SarahsVeganKitchen Loved, loved, LOVED everything here, Sarah! I'll be trying it all out (I may tweak a few things 'cause I'm THAT person 🤣). Holiday spreads have been my last holdout because of memories and traditions. Also, I love mushroom stroganoff, but I've made the vegetarian version...on to the vegan version now. It's so much easier than we've been given to think to eat flavorful and fully nutritious vegan meals. My inner and outer self thanks you for your contributions to fewer asthma attacks, weight loss, and better health overall. Happy Holidays to you and yours!💞💞💞

[@ana-hg4hx]

Delicious and wholesome stuff ❤ also love when you show us how you use up leftovers in different ways! Like the chili in the tortilla’s :)

[@micheleharris2361]

I've caught a few of your videos now and I'm really enjoying them! I love how you're so willing to jump in from the beginning of a dish, like the sourdough for stuffing, or tortillas - I've made homemade and you reminded me about them! We went vegan low fat for health reasons, but it's reminding me that I'd like to get back to cooking like this again... Btw - definitely looking forward to the veganized milk bread rolls! :)

[@robinbrown4674]

I'm like you, Sarah, when it comes to oatmeal. I don't like the sweet stuff and put vegan butter, salt and pepper like a baked potato in mine. I have also been known to put bagel seasoning and flax or chia in my oatmeal as well! As for the cornbread, I sometimes use creamed corn and cheese. That may help with the moisture? So thankful to have found your channel a while back as I have had to eat vegan because there are too many foods that do not agree with me. Stay safe and warm!

[@Chrissy4281]

I definitely resonate with this video. I completely overextended myself to the point of exhaustion on Thanksgiving and I vow to NEVER do that again. I don’t like the thought of savory oatmeal and tho I love oatmeal I don’t make it as much because I’d have to eat it with some sort of sweetness and I just don’t want that flavor profile often for breakfast. I would love a dedicated video for the rolls. They look amazing. I was going to go down the rabbit hole if you will, of all your content because I was missing your cozy cooking videos. So glad to see this upload tho I’ll still watch more..like a chip..can’t see just one lol. TFS. You and Eric have a great holiday season and RELAX 🤗

[@dibamoca9885]

Everything looks so cozy and delicious 😋

[@vegolina8839]

As always this video was like a cosy hug from a friend. I feel comforted and inspired now 🥰

[@veganmamafourgirls5370]

This was truly a vegan comfort food recipe video if I've ever seen one. So many great recipes and everything looks so delicious! Thank you and Happy Chanukkah :)

[@geraltofriftia]

So good to watch such a comforting video after a long work day. Stay warm and safe^^ Thank you for your content and have a wonderful holiday season

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

This is so sweet 🥹 thank you for watching!

[@courtneyparrish1207]

I used beyond sausage for my stuffing this year too and that was our favorite side!

[@jenniferkliokis4936]

I made the mushroom stroganoff a few days ago and it was AMAZING! My daughter and I couldn’t get enough of it. We put it over jasmine rice and just kept saying WOW as we were eating it🤣

[@chemistryflavored]

Whenever I’m in a cooking rut you seem to post one of these and it gives me so many ideas! Also congee for breakfast is amazing and I highly recommend! I burned myself out on cream of wheat and oatmeal and it’s been my go to esp in the colder months. It’s also a great replacement for soup when you are sick.

[@JelenaBraum]

Congee is awesome, especially for cold winter. I fell in love with it the moment I found out this thing exists (it isn't too well known here in Central Europe :D ). I am not vegan, but I do meat (with meatballs and fish sauce), vegetarian (with eggs and veggie bouillon), and vegan versions (with seaweed or miso, sprouts, and sometimes tofu), and they are all good! It's exactly the recipe where even we meat-eaters don't need meat at all, which is great because I am trying not to eat it so often (hence my following your channel). And I think it will also work very well with vegan meat substitutes, although I haven't tried those. By the way, Sadia from Pick Up Limes had variants of savoury oatmeal on her channel, and it seemed worth trying (especially the chipotle one), although I hadn't gotten to try that myself yet.

[@jessicaking9726]

I'm with you on the Tday menu. I"ve always made a TON of food - big breakfast, mains, sides, snacks/appetizers throughout the day, desserts... for who?! lol This year we kept it simple with a main, two sides, store-bought rolls for my husband, and a simple ramekin dessert. Done. Absolutely NO regrets.

[@ashleyalhadeff]

I always make AT LEAST one of your recipes from your videos. So helpful. Thank you!

[@evavargova42]

I literally can't say it enough....THIS IS AMAZING AND YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER when it comes to my cooking ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gregm8080]

Savory oatmeal is my default now. My wife didn't care for sweet oatmeal and convinced me to try making a savory version. It's the only way I can get her to eat it regularly. It's stupid easy. I heat 6 cups of water in the microwave for 6min then mix a giant glob (2 tbs?) of vegetable base to make a broth. Chop up a couple sweet onions and saute those in my instapot. While that's cooking I chop up a 8oz of mushrooms and cook those for a bit. Keep the onions and mushrooms stirred and scraped off the bottom of the pot. Add a little broth before they burn, then throw in another 2c of water, 1.5c steel cut oats, and 1/2 tsp of light salt. Cook on high for 5min and natural release. Add a handful or two of craisins, stir and let cool in pot or container. It will thicken. When reheating I like to add some soy milk for creaminess and sometimes I'll microwave a couple handfuls of greens in my bowl first. Can also add nutritional yeast or crushed walnuts. 8c water 2 medium onions 8oz mushrooms 2tbs veg base 1.5c steel-cut oats 0.5tsp light salt handful of craisins

[@petraaccount]

Hello Sarah, I love your videos. Re morning congee - have you tried adding Yondu to oats on the stove? You could add sliced vegetables (cabbage, mushrooms or sliced carrots into matchsticks) and tofu for something heartier, and top with fresh green onions or coriander if available. I usually cook the oats with water plain and add on top a drizzle of sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper (preferably white) and if you have some, vegan fish sauce or seasoning sauce (Maggi, Golden Mountain?). Have a lovely season ahead.

[@zepzour7391]

yeah i love adding field roast sausage to stuffing. Im sure beyond sausage is good too, where i live its only sold frozen tho so its harder to cook, and it has so much extra oil which idk if its necessary. the field roast seems a tiny bit healthier from the ingredients but i still love the flavor

[@Ericaaaaaaaaaa]

Savory oatmeal is delicious! I season it the same way you would congee.

[@timaal5897]

There is a iraqi red lentil soup that is a really popular and easy breakfast so I think that lentil soup for breakfast is a great way to start the day

[@jenniferstanley6833]

Your channel and videos are just so comforting. Thank you for your content!

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I love to add fire roasted tomatoes to my lentil soup. It gives it sort of this Cajun profile that I love.

[@thatsberry]

I love your videos. Always get the ideas what to cook next :D I'm definitely gonna make your vegan broccoli cheddar soup and this mushroom stroganoff! They look soo soo comforting. Perfect for current weather conditions that we have in Poland.

[@rachelbrough8160]

Hi Sarah, I'm pretty new to your channel and I've been really enjoying your videos. You and Eric are so lovely together and it's really nice seeing how you encourage & support each other, you seem a really nice couple, I wish we were friends! 😊 Love watching you cook and the cheddar & brocoli soup looks yummy! I do like cooking and creating new things but I've let it slide a bit over the past year or so, I'm trying to make more of an effort after watching you. Sometimes I'm just not in the right mindset especially if I'm feeling low then I always tend to go with too many carbs 😕 which are my downfall really. Anyway, I'm glad I've found your channel. Sorry for rambling xx

[@bettycarmella1127]

I love your videos Sarah. I’m not vegan but I learn so much watching you🥰

[@judithp.5962]

I like tempeh instead of tofu for my gyoza filling -- it's less processed, and if you chop it up it works just as well.

[@TeacherGymMama]

Love your videos!! Was needing some good comfort food recipes

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Love to hear it! You get the 1st comment award, by the way. 🥇

[@TeacherGymMama]

@@SarahsVeganKitchen you’ve inspired to make my own gyoza. Since my son can’t have store bought ones due to being gluten free and he absolutely loves them.

[@louise62602]

Love your channel! It's my new favorite ❤ Your voice is super calming. I'm the same with seasonal depression 😕 The cold and getting dark at 430pm really messes me up.

[@venus86e]

Sarah! I missed ya!! Thank you for making a new video :). I'm all about the mushroom stroganoff and will try it! I made your pumpkin streusel muffins last month and they were delicious and a big hit! Happy you two are thriving in Colorado, but do stay as warm as possible

[@IsidoraSage]

I used field roast apple sausage in my stuffing this year and it was really good. I made a bread version and a corn bread version and both were a hit even with the omnivores. I can't wait to try your broccoli soup. I can use something hearty

[@juliagrummel8884]

I add lentils to my congee! So good. I'm a savory breakfast girl too!

[@ronyroberts7781]

I have a hard time eating oatmeal in general,. The texture can be challenging for me and I, too, don't really crave sweet breakfasts. This morning I made Mark Bittman's salt and pepper steel cut oats. I really enjoyed it! I had some sauteed spinach on the side.

[@hollyk.3317]

Highly recommend you try Nisha Vora’s (Rainbow plant life) cornbread. It is AWESOME! Just made some today. Have made it about 5 times.

[@lynnrumsey3296]

It all looks sooooo delicious. My favorite kind of food. I use 1 small unsweetened Kite yogurt instead of applesauce in my cornbread. Really good. Thank you for your wonderful recipes! Happy Holidays!

[@kathleenbutler9967]

What a cook you are!! You rock!! You have inspired me...again...everytime I watch your videos I am inspired...thanks for all you do!!

[@Doe3Love8]

what u described for what you’d want for thanksgiving was literally what i had, gardein roast, mashes potatoes, and roasted broccoli. apple pie for dessert lol

[@mofeuer]

i was wondering if during a vid you could talk about tips and tricks you have for using cast iron? i have trouble with items sticking and would love some advice ❤

[@BirdieMcLovin]

Everything is amazing that you make! And totally agree with you about Thanksgiving cuisine. I want to change it up next year. Maybe some vegan baked ziti or something.

[@karenmiller1105]

How funny …I was literally thinking about you and when your next video would be out - and here it is. Loved it. Full of amazing recipes and inspiration. Thanks.

[@simpulacra]

ad corn to your cornbread! water and all! I like mine more of the texture of corn pudding and that really helps. plus melted butter and some nondairy milk to give it a more cakey texture

[@rae2818]

All of these recipes sound so freaking delicious!

[@KirasWholesomeLife]

Love your style of video, so much brill of cooking with the voice over and I love listening to your voice haha! You’ve inspired me thank youuu. Love your recipes also 💚

[@kitchenlife1516]

I’m impressed with how round your tortillas are! Mine are always so randomly shaped!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

As long as they taste good!

[@GabyDeGyves]

lovely as always!!! I would suggest you try and up the oil content in your tortillas and making them thinner. that's how we make them in the north of mexico :))

[@joeb4142]

Sarah I really enjoyed this video 😊 Unfortunately I’ve never been much of a soup fan. I know soup is nutritious and great for cold days but I just wasn’t into it. However my tastes have changed quite a bit in the four years I’ve been a vegan so I’m going to give your soup a try. Wish me luck. Thanks for the recipes!

[@coffeeandbookmealdeliveryr1328]

Yea I'm so excited your back thank goodness

[@ElizaSandra]

Definitely support soup for breakfast!!

[@jamiecee4960]

Yum. Love potato soup and homemade bread. Everything looks good. Mushroom stroganoff sounds so good.

[@lurleanhunt9335]

I love lentil soup for breakfast too!!!

[@dianasthings729]

Beautiful recipes! Thank you for sharing :) I discovered gyoza recently myself and really want to try your take on it! Happy Holidays from Russia🎉

[@BethAge95]

Everything looks delicious! Think I'll make the broccoli cheddar soup for weekly stew/soup next week :) We do have really nice cheese flavoured vegan cream where I live, so might add that, bcs I'm out of nooch...

[@LeeLuvsTea]

Wow!! U r a true chef!! Those rolls look so perfect!!!

[@princessinvidia]

Sarah, your Thanksgiving feast looks delectable. Congratulations on such an impressive dinner. You sound so calm in the video but I can only imagine that you had to be, at least a little bit stressed, with all of that going on. I don't know if you have time to answer my question or not but . . . I love seitan and, despite being a skilled and experienced vegan cook, I just cannot seem to get it right. It always comes out hard and rubbery. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Too much wheat gluten? Too much needing? Not enough steaming? I have no idea, but I know you are a methodical cook so I feel certain you might have had some tweeking to do before you got it down pat. Any tips you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. And thank you for all the warmth, tranquility, and inspiration you bring to us through your channel.

[@MrNioMoon]

Hey, Sarah! Love your content! Always excited to watch ‘em! 😁

[@animalandnatureconnect7717]

Stroganoff. Yay! Thank you for this recipe. I can make this in Sri Lanka.❤

[@andreawalker7138]

I'm not sure if it's magic, but all of your food looks sooooo delicious!! That Friendsgiving dinner was off the charts. 😋😋 One year my mother and I decided to just make soup and bread for Thanksgiving. One of the best dinners we had. I'm trying to make it a yearly tradition but mom is still trying to cook waaaay too much food 😁

[@marykaren7542]

They all look like mouth watering recipes!
