[@laurenlondon99]

The moment you and your husband embraced gave your audience a small glimpse of your ❤for each other. Your quite vulnerable in this video. Admire your collective strength and still you show up smiling 🙏❤️🌱

[@karenhall7191]

Good to see you back, don’t feel like you have to justify your absence, you need to put yourself and your family first 😊

[@aubreyvandyne5284]

Thank you for taking care of yourself, you must count on yourself to be the beautiful person you are. Thanks for being a caring loving mom and a nice man's wife. Keep up the good work and informative videos. Lots of people enjoy watching you. 🙂

[@hayleysunnex1208]

I love both you and your husbands sense of humour and positivity 🥰 You guys are so sweet! Amazing with all that you juggle and conquer together 🎉 Love your videos and authenticity as always ❤️

[@kimhollis1695]

I agree 100%❤

[@tosca...]

I'm with you, Chelsea. I'm caring for my 90 year old mother and to a large extent my life is not really my own. Btw the thing you're slicing with is a mandoline (or non French is minus the e). I do pickled onion too but minus sugar. I often put a bit of fresh herb like oregano or rosemary. I also have homemade sauerkraut, and most of the time, kimchi on hand so I work in eating ferments. For a salad dressing I make white miso and lemon juice. I always buy the odds lemons because they're so much cheaper all the time. I always have a jar of homemade hummus, much like your chickpeas. I spread it on halved potatoes which I cook in the instant pot and then airfry when they're halved instead of toast. I need to get much better with greens which are a bit trickier when your meals can be a bit haphazard. I'll try your chickpea recipe for sure. But doing things when I can is definitely my way too for sure. Thanks, good luck and lovely to see you back. 😊

[@ashleamendelson1414]

Chelsea I’m so happy to see you back!! When I started eating this way you were my inspiration and I love the simplicity of your recipes and all the wonderful advice you give…. ❤

[@ChelseaMae]

Yay! Thank you!!

[@kathy2910]

Such good advice - keep it simple. I found I was spending way too much time in the kitchen - and I don't need to be. Plus, I like eating the same thing over and over. It frees me!

[@1951JULY]

Remember your not alone when it comes to life troubles and struggles. Live each day as it comes, have a cry and carry on. None of us know what lies ahead and best we don’t, eating healthy is good but it does not prevent serious accidents, nor medical conditions taking over our bodies. Nick, yourself and you girls are a Very Blessed Family 🥰. I am not even going to mention what the last 5 years has thrown my way, I can only live for the moment and be blessed no matter what, we all have so much to be thankful for 🥰

[@alynawatersmusic]

Your husband, lol! “Why stand when you can sit?” 😂😂😂 Seriously though, it’s nobody’s business. If you want to share, super. If you don’t, super. I can’t fathom why people think it’s any of their business. I’m here for the food, anything else is just gravy.

[@janejohnson8905]

So sorry about the stress and difficulties of the house situation. Hope you get a breakthrough soon! Love your videos. And love the flash-through "quick chop" sections with veggies. Very cute! Best wishes and thank you so much! Prayers and best wishes to Nick, also. Love his attitude in the face of his challenges.

[@jenwylie4093]

I have been trying to prep the starches since they take a while to cook. I try to have potatoes and rice in the fridge so I can throw a quick meal together. I think that we all appreciate your videos, even if you think that you are just making boring meals. :-)

[@leonieduplessis4467]

Yes, thats a nice brand of nut butter, their mix with sunflower and pumpkin seed are yum. Where are your bake kumaras 😉 Mandolin. Peppercorns mustard seeds are excellent with the pickle onions. The piercing with the fork not necessarily for the potatoes.

[@nalini8760]

I love your sweet little family. All the best for your life plans and God bless you😍

[@lorileeharrison461]

I’ve missed your videos, Chels! I listen to your podcasts over and over again! Love your content; you are so informed and I appreciate you sharing all your knowledge.

[@KCallaAK]

Yes, I love you both. Visit with us when you can. You have been a blessing in my life for a long time. Some seasons in life are harder and you need to take care of yourself. After 6 months of hip pain and being house bound, I now am recovering from a hip replacement. If it wasn't for YOU and your encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to keep my weight stable. Thank you. I bless you.

[@krisfahrt5665]

Love your videos! In the beginning I was meal prepping every Sunday..now foodprep mostly means making more when I make something. Lots of potatoes, rice or hummus. And veggies are often out of the freezer! So it's so easy...

[@YouHaveAGoodPoint]

He’s a keeper. ❤

[@morganlipton311]

Loving your simplicity, as ever, Chels! Over 4 years in and currently manage daily eating by using Streaks habit tracker app - my daily targets are simple: oatmeal, steamy starchies, big a$$ salad, potatoes. My mom passed away in December and simplifying to these targets has helped me regain focus on what is most important to me.

[@karen6778]

Yeah I’ve missed your KZbin videos. Fingers crossed that your house sells and that you have a lovely new place to move into. ❤❤❤ Not on FB or Instagram or any of those other socials. This is it, but I will take what I can get. Recently watched some of your content which got me inspired to really give the WFPB way of eating another go. Xx

[@ahiggins]

Hey Chelsea, so Great to see you back. Sorry you’re going through stressed times, sending positive vibes your way, wishing you calmer waters. Love your videos, love your content. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤🇨🇦

[@luckybluelab]

You and your husband are adorable! I made the chickpea mash with onions, celery and I also added a sheet of nori sushi wrap. Delicious! I will be making this again!

[@layladarby1994]

Going to make the chickpea salad, looks amazing, you look lovely with your hair in a messy bun, your hubby is so sweet. People are so nosey, we are all different, some people need a wheelchair some don't simple not rocket science, blessings to you both, the storm will clear and bring sunshine ☀

[@jeaniesherwood1738]

Can’t wait to try this. Your bowl looked amazing 🤩

[@sagitagamclayfabric1387]

Last night I came across your video and I couldn't stop and I found myself watching until the wee hours of the night. Of course, immediately in the morning I started applying everything you explained and I already feel better, well done for the authenticity and investment... I will continue to follow and of course I will send to the companies... thank you Sagit .

[@333dory333]

Love your videos. You and hubby are a great team ❤️ I am currently obsessed with brown rice, kidney beans salsa and coriander all in the pressure cooker. Eat with lettuce as wraps. Ps the slicer is a mandolin and they terrify me too. Band in our house as I always cut myself (even with the guard). Thank you for your videos x

[@hellywelly5887]

Mine’s hidden in the shed I’m so scared of it 😂

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Great suggestions - wishing you and your family the best!

[@shelleyhill6911]

Love your videos! You make it look so easy! Thank you!

[@wendydoty832]

I just made this recipe. It is so good, Chelsea!!! Thank you!

[@delwyngoodrick289]

It's so good to see you back Chelsea. Love your videos. Hope the prep for the US trip is going OK. Go well great gal❤

[@Burnie_Angel]

Ha, glad Nick got some icecream, and that he went to the shop, I'm like she's sending him out to pick greens from the garden in a cyclone, harsh man haha

[@elleg2851]

😂so funny!!

[@pruhorwood8473]

Love your videos. Thank you ❤❤

[@Carolina-uu5ji]

❤the Best real video meal prep

[@loriwilliams2167]

I agree about the prepping. Sometimes I change my mind on what I want to eat! So if I'm in the mood for something I just make alot to last a few days..

[@brendaleick]

So glad you are back! Greetings from those afloat in California!

[@kelsie_adams]

Oh, forgot to add, for your husband... When people ask why you're in a chair... Reverse it and ask why they're not in a chair. They will have to think about it forever. 😅

[@ChelseaMae]

This comment made my day. I'm gonna tell this to Nick right now. Hahaha. Humour helps us deal with the hard situation, so I love that you 'get that.'

[@lucasvarley9764]

Thanks for sharing your healthy yummy recipes! Question though... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a fat-loss meal plan from them and I love it.

[@luluandmeow]

Hello Chelsea, sorry about your garden and your tree, I'm always sad when a tree is damaged or dies. I hope this stressful time will pass. I too have stopped doing too much prepping and batch-cooking as it was getting a bit over-the-top. It actually made me eat more in the end as I had all these meals in the fridge and I ate more to stop them going off - crazy! Also, I see little point in prepping in advance if the meal doesn't take more than 15 minutes to cook.

[@olgaene237]

Thank you! Great recipes!

[@Nicole-ld1zy]

Love you and your family. My husband also has a wheelchair due to a TBI and stroke, he can walk but uses it to go in to take a shower. He used to use it to use it going to bed, but we got a new shelter dog who doesn't like the wheelchair very much. 😀

[@jillburgraff-miceli5294]

Love your videos, I'm going to try the chickpea mash. I love things you can eat for several days.

[@patricia7947]

You're so adorable, and Nick too, love your videos.

[@gabriellagrigorova5689]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu! You are amazing !

[@gazzabart]

Hi Chelsea brand new 2 week vegan but been veggie for 45 years. Binge watching your videos as they fill me with confidence. Noticed you don't drizzle soy yog over things do you ever make your own 😃👋👋👋🇬🇧

[@ChelseaMae]

Well done!! How are you feeling about your progress so far? Would love to hear!! I do sometimes make soy yoghurt. Here is a recipe I've made before on instagram. instagram.com/reel/CHQypXYJVSn/

[@gazzabart]

@@ChelseaMae Thank you very much 😃

[@saponeto8097]

Hello there, I’ve missed your videos. I listen to your podcasts all the time ! The pickled onion is a game changer, just made these for the first time - literally the best taste of anything I've ever made. I'm gonna have these in my fridge for the rest of my life! Thanks Chelsea 🤩🤩🤩

[@sun_moon_tofu]

Hey y'all, if you're like me and have a hard time digesting chickpeas I've got a tip that might work for you. Sorry if Chelsea has already talked about this before but this has helped me eat more chickpeas. Buy dry chickpeas and soak them overnight in water. Then cook them until they are soft in a slow cooker/crock pot/instant pot. Usually I cook mine for ~8ish hours on low. I find that soaking beans/lentils/chickpeas really helps with my digestion. Obviously if you don't have the time or the tools then using canned chickpeas work just fine! Thank you for another awesome video ❤

[@debralynfisherpryor7728]

Thank you for the recipe. It’s delicious.

[@LovingVeggiesWithErin]

Great video! Love it! ❤

[@stargazerbird]

I always have rice in the rice cooker. Everything is good with rice, soy, rice vinegar. Sushi bowls are so easy. Pre chopping veg makes it quicker come cooking time too. I do it when the groceries arrive.

[@venuscruz6075]

that looks delish. What size bowl is that? I really like the bowl. Thank you so much for all the info in your videos

[@jkoerner23]

Great video! Just wondering if you’ve tried the chickpea mash with a white or other bean instead?

[@elleg2851]

😊 thanku 💖 appreciate video!!! Need to look at my bowl 🥣 it needed a tune up

[@amyvanmatre9409]

Mandolin!

[@emotionalreader3529]

I make mash chickpeas so often but never tried with your combination- will give it a go

[@36891as]

LOL, liked you and your hubbies humor.

[@Hellfire-vegan]

Loved the video Chels, you and Nick are such a great couple 🖤. That chickpea tuna looks amazing! would you recommend to use peanut butter if you’re still trying to lose weight? X

[@smallfootprint2961]

I lose weight eating some peanut butter, but my thing is peanut butter sandwiches, so I decided that if I get a craving, to avoid jam, I would try toasting low sodium Ezekiel bread with some whole peanut butter, and a slice of orange, rind and all, and maybe a sliced strawberry,. It makes a grand sandwich to looik forward to for lunch some days. The key for me is to "have my cake and eat it too." I just try to find a way to satisfy that itch using the 'closest to original' that I can. Chelsea has tought me how to do this. When I honestly do my best and satisty those urges, I don't binge, still snack, if I want, and am able to stay within my low calorie density parameters that I want. Snacks are usually a starch, such as a cooked potato or sweet potato. Jmo. Enjoy.

[@Laura-je2uw]

The final amount you would eat per pprtion is neglihable. She used 2 tbsp for the entire salad and it might be 4 portions. A little bit of fat is important and goves a lot of extra flavour!

[@ashleymcdaniel6188]

Interesting ingredients will have to try thanks for sharing ! would not have ever thought to add peanut butter or cinnamon to that mixture. I like to cook like 8 portions of rice up and freeze them in servings then I pull them out that morning or defrost real quick/add to stir fry to speed things up, if I want pasta that week I cook it up in large portion and left overs in zip lock bag of cold water they will keep all week and be fresh and not soak up your sauce steam up bag of potatoes and bake my sweeet potatoes all at once to so ready to go for week but def would not call it meal prepping real insta pot and stove does everything then I throw them in the frig and freezer and pull out and top with quick things for the week. I have developed very simple taste lol one of my fav things is yellow potato’s with liquid aminos and nutritional yeast, large side of broccoli with liquid aminos, lemon and nutritional yeast rinsed and drained canned kidney beans and handful of cherry tomatoes fresh Literally 5 min or less and so good and feeling

[@megadams221]

Hey Chelsea, thanks so much for the awesome video! Was wondering, how many servings is the chickpea mash? And where did the you get that amazing salad bowl? ❤

[@Carrammia0802]

Why peanut butter in the chickpea mash?

[@tracivegan2063]

Just curious about the choice of peanut butter in the chickpeas? I assumed you’d use tahini like in hummus, is it just because you prefer pb over tahini? Tia 😊

[@vera.nadine]

Thanks for this, Chelsea! My kids LOVED the super 80's music that you had in one segment. 🎶 They were dancing arounds like loons. 💃🤣

[@goaldigger1]

I recommend getting a Potato Express microwave bag (or equivalent). I use for giant Idaho potatoes and set for 5 min (no turning potato) and I'm on my way.

[@kelsie_adams]

I've missed you! I have been vegetarian for 30+ years, but this is only my 2nd year being vegan. No dressing... My friends always ask me about sauces and/or butter on veggies... Steamed veggies. I say I eat them plain. Shocked expressions "what does THAT taste like?". Depending on the veggie, I say like carrots, asparagus, broccoli.....

[@cynthiacogbill8421]

Try Plum vinegar and water 50/50 you don’t have to add the sugar and the salt the plum vinegar had some wonderful sweetness

[@catherinecarter4934]

Love you 😍

[@Elizerinc]

Love pickled onions. That chickpea mash is delicious. I made it after your video a couple months ago. I've been using tahini, do you prefer peanut butter? I didn't know there was non vegan miso!

[@mollydelehey4213]

I love you!!!

[@sammakesitsimple]

Do you think coconut sugar or agave would work for the onions pickling brine?

[@amandagates5721]

Have you ever tried umeboshi plum vinegar? I love it mashed with my avocado.

[@kristenartigue436]

I’d love to see what you feed your kids! Do they just always eat the same meals as you? I’m a mom of 3 kids under 5 years old

[@greengrrl120]

Does a pound of veg per day include potatoes, or is it a pound of non starchy veg?

[@karenstanton5405]

yes we should have been told this much earlier.. wouldnt have to get sick or be over weight if we were taught how to eat when younger. lied to by the big companies to sell their products

[@seaotter1975]

Well. I would love to watch the video and hear it. But the sound keeps cutting out after 6 seconds into the video. 😞

[@markholder4944]

Which video were you referencing? I tried clicking top corner and it didn’t work

[@nicohobson5251]

doesnt avocado count as dressing? like it's the 'fat' content of the salad?

[@Tyanne76]

Are you in Florida?

[@MsTressie]

Why is the audio missing?

[@kimcorcoran7495]

Everyone goes for baked potatoes...I just thick slice them and boil! Takes no time whatsoever!

[@janiehutchinson2509]

What is going on with the volume on your videos? I used to be able to watch on my tv, but now there’s no volume. I can only get volume if I watch on my phone. Is anyone else having this problem? 😮

[@Tyanne76]

Onions are high in carbs !

[@kaykay4832]

No sound for me except when commercial comes on 😟

[@kaykay4832]

Did anybody else experience no sound on this video?

[@kimiefabulous]

Cheers to no dressing. We don't need the extra calories and fat.

[@CatelyneAlbertus]

This lady looks very similar to the vegan lady that died from only eating fruit
