[@PhobeBarrymore]

I am usually more simplistic with my eating habits, but when I hear people saying "vegans only eat lettuce", I direct them to your channel.

[@hotforfood]

+Amiee Ann THANK YOU!

[@PhobeBarrymore]

***** I'm glad you haven't had to deal with the ignorance some people hold toward veganism. It's so annoying!

[@frontbutt1021]

LMAO SAME. What vegan _doesn't_ do this haha. Hotforfood is our savior

[@tim.noonan]

I shed a single tear while I watched this. I've been vegan for about 4 months now and this channel is exactly what I needed to move my meals forward (rice and beans only works for so long haha). Very excited to try this and a lot of your other recipes!

[@hotforfood]

+Tim Noonan Oh yay! that's our goal... no more rice and beans... haha well sometimes that's ok, but yay! thank you!

[@L0veepanicc]

"if you don't eat carbs you're insane" i want a tshirt with that on haha

[@VanessaCamburn]

"If you don't eat carbs you're insane" LoL AGREED!!!!

[@hotforfood]

MissNess84 hahaha RIGHT!

[@VanessaCamburn]

hot for food do you by any chance have a simple recipe for pizza dough? Where I live they don't sell ready dough. =/

[@hotforfood]

MissNess84 yes it's on our blog here www.hotforfoodblog.com/recipes/2014/6/24/stuffed-crust-pizza

[@VanessaCamburn]

hot for food thanks!

[@BabyMachine]

+MissNess84 lol bread is literally 4 ingredients...

[@tilywinn]

"You don't have to have a rolling pin, you could use a wine bottle" - Haha, life tip right there!

[@hotforfood]

***** it's daiya jack cheddar wedge or the mozzarella style shreds work well too! If you live in the USA though there are so many great vegan cheese available depending on where you live. We're in Canada so we're totally jealous!

[@swand1383]

+Cyndee Adkins have you given birth yet? How is s/he? Also are you raising him/her vegan?

[@swand1383]

+Cyndee Adkins oh my gosh that's so exciting good luck for the birth!

[@crispysweet7324]

+Cyndee Adkins i live in colombia... here u can't even get nutritional yeast or smoked tofu, would kill for that too! & congrats :)

[@toBe8ere]

+Crispy & Sweet if you can't find it locally, you might have to buy it online or drive to a location far from you (if they have any health food stores or vegan-friendly places in Colombia.) or you can experiment and get together with other vegans online or in-person and use local ingredients to substitute for vegan products available in other countries.

[@sandracarli1110]

I've seen that most of them contain a lot of coconut oil, which is very saturated fat so I'm making my own (still experimenting).

[@FallenAngel2420]

omg I just made these....my life is complete thank you thank you!

[@hotforfood]

+FallenAngel2420 YASSS! So glad :D

[@GPlusZGaming]

OMG! I am so glad I found your channel! My family will be thrilled too! As a mom of two, turning our family vegan hasn't always been easy. I have worked hard and made it my goal to show my husband and sons that going vegan doesn't mean giving up delicious food. Thankfully it's worked so far! Seeing recipes like yours gives me the energy and excitement I need to keep pushing through during this process! Thank you guys so much!

[@EmmaHarrill]

+Blackfeather 22 You don't have to feel any way about it. Not your family lol

[@GPlusZGaming]

***** I have a nine year old son and a one year old son. My one year old is EXTREMELY lactose intolerant and that's what led me to this lifestyle choice in the first place. I use to cook foods with cheese and felt awful that he either couldn't eat or would get sick if he did. My nine year old son and I watched videos and educated ourselves about animal abuse and a vegan diet. I don't tell him that he can't eat those things...I just won't cook them or pay for them. He gets away from me plenty and is constantly offered animal meat and by products by his grandparents, friends, and family. Occasionally he will eat cheese, but often even when away from home HE chooses not to eat them. He feels so much better without them and can always feel the negative effects that slipping off the vegan diet has on his body. I love my kids no matter what they eat. Because a vegan diet is a healthy diet, even if I was "forcing" it on my kids....I don't see a problem. I believe in good oral hygiene....is it bad that I "force" my kids to brush their teeth?

[@GPlusZGaming]

***** No, I am not a dude. I don't think that eating meat makes you a bad person. I use to eat meat also. I live in America. In America, for meat to be sold in a grocery store it must be USDA approved. Small family farms are no longer able to slaughter and sell their meat....to grocery stores. In order to sell their "meat" to stores, they have to sell the animals. Once the nice farmer has sold his animals that's when the horror begins. They get sent to the same feed lots and slaughter houses that all the other animals go to. So basically, there is few ways to get around eating cruel meat in America. Unless you know a farmer who is willing to sell it to you directly. I don't know any animal farmers and probably couldn't afford their meat even if I did. Plus, that would be going out of my way for a product I don't find necessary. As long as my kids are healthy and happy, that's enough for me.:-)

[@lisad8524]

Made these today after finally getting my hands on some Daiya Mozzarella Shreds (quite an ordeal here in Germany but worth it). Went all out with homemade whole wheat crust and pizza sauce (both of these recipes from your site rock, esp. the sauce, OMG!). Filled them with spinach and mushrooms. SO GOOD. Keep on being awesome!

[@hotforfood]

+Lisa Doser so great and good work on finding daiya! glad you like the recipes. Thank you!

[@runningcloudmiranda]

hahaha agreed. Carbs are life!

[@vianeyr1234]

I love this! I will definitely be trying it. You make it seem so easy!

[@LeapagaAysia]

I like to mix olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan, dried oregano, and black pepper and brush it over the tops. So good!

[@smOVERCOMINGITALL]

My biggest pet peeve when people cook is when they don't allow their oven to get hot! there's a "pre-heating" light for a reason lol! it's not ready!! my mom does this all the time and wonders why it takes her an extra 20 minutes for anything to come out right xD

[@kelsannemarie]

"If you don't eat carbs you're insane" love it!

[@hotforfood]

Kelsey Anderson So true!

[@hotforfood]

We are now officially part of *****! So exciting!

[@veganpeace7890]

I just happen to have a pizza dough ball begging to be used! I love this cannel and the recipes soooo much!!

[@hotforfood]

+vegan peace oooh yum! Thank you so much!

[@ahtnamasnworb]

This looks SOO good

[@sgordon6851]

I am going to make this tonight. I bought dough, onions, peppers, mushrooms, seitan, and Daiya. Thanks for this recipe. Looks great.

[@hotforfood]

yay! let us know how you like 'em :)

[@sgordon6851]

I made them and they were delicious. I shared the video with other vegans.

[@nicoleponesyou]

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD OH MY GOD

[@burritocat8943]

Sweet jesus this looks so good!!!! I have to try it!

[@ms.bubs4fun506]

That's a calzone!

[@hotforfood]

bubba123 ya I guess haha

[@LindseyObrooke]

You don’t put sauce in a calzone. Def a pizza pocket!

[@EternitysEcho3]

When youre about to die of starvation because youve been putting off eating because youve been binge watching these AMAZING videos!!! lol IM SO HUNGRYYYY

[@Juliezeneth]

These look amazing! Now I want one 😊🍕💕

[@lindsaydoyle7488]

Did you use store bought dough? If yes, which brand? I love carbs...I'm a vegan carbaholic and I tell people they are crazy to avoid carbs! Love love love your kitchen counter. I'm totally going to make these but use pineapple and spinach...and maybe a garlic "butter" sauce base.

[@hotforfood]

Lindsay Doyle I did. There was no brand. It was from Metro grocery store. Most grocery stores have dough in the deli section fresh or sometimes frozen. YASSSS carbs :) Thanks for watching!

[@TeamBroccoli]

Looks great 🍕😋😋😋

[@sarahlease5100]

Hi Lauren! I love your recipes, thanks for sharing:) Have you tried to freeze these? I was thinking it would be a nice, quick go to!

[@carlaaaaa20]

Just found your channel today! l love all this food and your method of cooking! I am racing to the supermarket now to get food to make something delicious!

[@hotforfood]

CarlasTravels yay! Let us know what you make and how it goes. OR feel free to share a pic on social media @hotforfood :)

[@carovaltmann7303]

[@hotforfood]

+Caro Valtmann thanks so much :D

[@noordinarymonroes]

Love! Love! your recipes!

[@jaceyjacobs4013]

Why do I always watch food videos when I’m hungry😭🤣

[@xmoichimosuicidex1]

[@gradyvasil8423]

That looks DELICIOUS! Can't wait to make it for dinner tomorrow. What music was playing during the video?

[@BrewandFeed]

We’re gonna make this soon!!

[@AigerimIbraeva]

Looks better than non vegan! Can't wait to try😍

[@hotforfood]

+A. Ibr THANK YOU!

[@SeasonSunRays]

this looks so fucking good

[@kathrine7764]

Ansley, or however you spell your name, that is literally the reason why many people don't like how vegans are. "Oh you are not on my lifestyle!!! Let's just kill ya now since we all die anyways!" Cmon Bruh

[@Sarah-gj8fw]

+that.1.murderer Did you even read the comment? She was clearly mocking how idiotic it is to say "animals are going to die so why don't we just kill them now."

[@VeganArtistAsh]

Okay I edited this a little bit I don't have a oven I used a pan and fried them! It was very good! I used coconut oil and fried them on each side for about ten five to ten minutes until golden! You should try it Lauren you'd love it its almost like a whole different recipe! also I used every veggie to stuff inside all the way to brocoli and cheese so good!

[@hotforfood]

+Vegan Artist Ash (Art Activist) COOL! sounds yummy :)

[@maraimessa5486]

It looks good

[@thegoodnoms3981]

Mmm.. reminds me of Boston Pizza's calzones!

[@PaulBodyBuilder]

I will use organic spelt flour thanks

[@tinaknox2458]

ommmmmmg girl i wanna move in

[@evafrade9366]

that looks F*ing cool and delicious.

[@tamaraakinbo1112]

new subbie here! i love your channel!

[@hotforfood]

+Tamara Akinbo thank you!

[@michellestone7761]

What kind of vegan cheese did you use? Looks very creamy.😍

[@michellestone7761]

Just saw that you answered the question below in the comments;) thanks

[@naadatemlk79]

with what do you feed your cat?

[@mochiprincess9680]

I think they still feed him normal kitty food, it's really dangerous for kitties to be on vegan diets ):

[@zuzatrelove]

She answered that question in one of her videos on her personal chanel..I don't remember exactly when, I think in one of her latest videos

[@perfumaphilia3246]

I made this and it's...BANGIN'. Holy fuck.

[@s1rpala1nen]

bad ass music

[@hotforfood]

***** thanks man!

[@Eyesek]

Nice song!! What is it called? Cant find it :-/

[@rr78884]

nice vid from a new black vegan. nice music also. Will try.

[@hotforfood]

did you like!?

[@joselinema]

mmm good, vegalicious!

[@toBe8ere]

if we don't have a pre-heat setting on our stovetop, for how long should we let the oven heat up? when i looked onlined it said about 10 minutes. is that right?

[@hotforfood]

+Michelle Miyazato it should have a pre-heat other wise you're putting stuff in at the wrong temp... like too low. It might be good to get a thermometer you can hang on the rack in the oven. That's what I have on that old 50's stove I use!! But make sure its hot enough before you start baking

[@razan4163]

Your channel is life wish i found it earlier

[@lisadetroit1]

Great recipe.. what is the brand of cheese you used?

[@hotforfood]

DAIYA!!

[@lisadetroit1]

thanks!

[@sarahhighlyfat2580]

youre so pretty with this hairstyle !!

[@Nab051]

woooooow thanks alot

[@spencermichaud3675]

where in Canada are you guys?

[@lanid6507]

They're like pizza cornish pasties!

[@jocejhok4995]

What can I do as a substitute for mushrooms ? I am allergic to mushrooms.

[@hotforfood]

+jocelyn tami just don't put mushrooms in it. You can make whatever toppings inside that you like!

[@Budgiebear23]

I know a lot of people who like onion or green pepper on their pizza, maybe that would work :)

[@bigbal3157]

where have u been all my life

[@Nab051]

can you make your own granola ..please

[@hotforfood]

there's a recipe on hotforfoodblog.com - hemp granola

[@sevpoli8449]

are you using an eggless- dough?

[@hotforfood]

+Sev Poli YES!

[@problame2249]

It's not like it's a vegan channel run by vegans or anything...

[@sevpoli8449]

Problame thanks genius

[@problame2249]

Glad I could help; I excel at questions with obvious answers.

[@sevpoli8449]

+Problame you know. I've come across a lot of rude people on this channel. I see you're a part of this cult that has been created on her channel

[@NorahNaturally]

Yum! My mouth is watering! 😋 I just posted recipe video on my channel for vegan BLT pizza if your interested!

[@TheShadowBee]

OH MY GOD that is a beautiful cat

[@sophiapearl5318]

[@creepycookiemonster]

man I wish vegan products were more avilable where I live... In poland its nearly impossible to get vegan cheese, in some big shops there is vegan cheese but it's only one brand and its all chemical and disgusting. My sister actually ordered some vegan cheese for me online for christmas! (she's not vegan so it's a big gesture). I myself am not fully vegan yet, I used to be vegetarian and I was forced to quit eating gluten and dairy, so just sometimes I eat eggs... And Im thinking about quitting them too. Do you guys have some gluten free recipes I could try? sorry for the long comment btw!

[@hotforfood]

+Karolina Jaworska you can search gluten free on our blog www.hotforfoodblog.com and what cheese did you order?

[@lovepeaceeggpie]

awwww your cat :)

[@VeganArtistAsh]

love it! and love what you said "if you dont eat carbs your insane!" fucking true! to much oil for me but still very tasty! i sadly had no vegan cheese because i live in an area where they dont carry it and i am trying to get a job so i can start ordering it online! much love thanks a bunch i used broccoli for mine and muchrooms and garlic and every other veggie lol :D

[@hotforfood]

FruityVlogger Ash LOVE carbs! haha too much oil? You mean on the crust? Well it's not necessary but it won't get nice and golden I don't think. Did yours?! Anyway glad you liked and thanks SO much for watching :)

[@VeganArtistAsh]

:D no didnt gt golden but still nice and tasty! much love girl!

[@jackass123491]

FruityVlogger Ash You can find lots of recipes here on youtube on how to make your own vegan cheese, provided you don't have nut allergies because most if not all of them seemed to be made from nuts. Cashew cheese seems to be pretty popular and I like almond cheese, though I have never actually made it myself but you may be able to find recipes for that too.

[@hotforfood]

jackass123491 FruityVlogger Ash if you're looking for one here is our cashew cheese ball recipe www.hotforfoodblog.com/recipes/2014/12/7/pistachio-crusted-cashew-cheeseball

[@michellesunshinestar]

I once tried the Atkins diet for 2 weeks, major fail. Anyway, I like being a vegetarian.

[@hotforfood]

atkins is BS haha ;)

[@michellesunshinestar]

I totally agree

[@connorhudson422]

500 or broil might be better than 450

[@dragonfirepeach4000]

why don't you just call it a calzone?

[@10dickilly10]

This isnt gonna taste nearly as bad as a pizza pocket does! This will bring back no memorys!

[@hotforfood]

LOL

[@mark996688]

192

[@larissamariie]

Isn't this a calzone

[@paulacharron5187]

No mention of the vegan products at all.

[@toBe8ere]

i bet if you flour or oil your fork, it won't stick to the dough when you go to seal it

[@sashagemini7623]

Why is this video brought to me by Dairy Pure? Stupid youtube....

[@mark996688]

[@emilysheppardart]

f ya

[@TheMusicvideoVEVO]

Jesus saves!

[@magda_pie]

Here after Lauren's Watch Me Eat Lunch to see how bad the video is 😂💖

[@hotforfood]

bahaa... aaaand?

[@magda_pie]

hot for food it's greeeaat 😬😉 I love all hotforfood videos, even the breakfast challenge;) I sure as hell couldn't do anything better!

[@hotforfood]

haha thank you :D

[@MaikaRose]

or, you know, make John's margherita and top it before putting it on the baking tray....then creatively having to turn it into a calzone to flip it :'D

[@kimberlyyyisamazing]

OMG, I need this in my life. Too bad I'm like the laziest person on Earth.

[@lucy8055]

Wow Lauren look how far you've come hahaha this looks so bootleg compared to your newer shit

[@Kiidomaru]

The recipe didn’t work well you have to wait for the oven to preheat You have tell people that nowadays? 😂

[@FuuKaiju]

Green onions in pizza pockets?! Fuckin love asians! I would do the same thing. I was actually thinking of putting bok choy or something in it. lol

[@xBloodXGusherx]

Where is the meat?

[@kathrine7764]

It's vegan?

[@xBloodXGusherx]

that.1.murderer No it's not. Vegan is not exclusively meatless.

[@julioroberto7186]

It's a CALZONE

[@kuanlinpaihan]

this is basically a huuuuge samosa

[@crc353]

That's a calzone! Who calls them pizza pockets?

[@azmo95]

+Coco Collard The way she made them and shaped them...their calzones. Hot pockets is an American brand but makes them into different shapes (usually long rectangles) so ... Americans call them pizza pockets.

[@swand1383]

+Janicijevic_a it's like bandaids and I cu(e?)tips

[@azmo95]

Loven fun Cue tips are for the years and bandaids are for cuts?I dont really understand your statement.

[@swand1383]

+Janicijevic_a what don't you understand 😂 what I said ties in directly with what you were saying

[@azmo95]

Loven fun I dont see the tie between band-aids and cue-tips. Especially when compared to something so alike as pizza pockets and calzones.

[@macintosha]

I really like your channel, but the music is always annoying I can't even finish watching most of the videos.

[@veggiemomma3148]

Wouldn't this be a calzone?!?! lol

[@s_kokkalis]

Torture.

[@agnes8210]

A egg wash would've gotten more color on top. Looks yummy, though!

[@camouh2973]

Vegan.

[@tiffanyyounb6964]

got this tip from Mary's test kitchen. If you use maple syrup and water instead of an egg wash it does the same thing but kindly.

[@angelinelinardis4499]

I like your show a lot, but if you keep having that annoying background shit in it, I just can't watch it. It annoys me too much.

[@ashly1461]

this is not a vegan recipe

[@mimeemo]

how?

[@ruvimintengent8355]

Please change your music 😤👿
