What I Eat in A Day: Healthy Fall Meals 🍁 (Vegan)

[@amandaawolfe]

I never thought about cooking rice in the oven. I'm totally going to modify the broccoli casserole and do like a taco bake or something.

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Amanda Wolfe that’s genius!!! Haha now I want to make one for the blog 😂

[@amandaawolfe]

You're welcome ;)

[@mynamemayormaynotbeanna]

i don't even know how to cook rice other than baking it lol

[@kylebaker8502]

Normally you boil or steam it

[@roxannematheson7307]

I used to watch vegan recipes videos for entertainment only... But today I was diagnosed with lactose and meat protein intolerance. I guess these videos will be helpful now! Veganism here I come! 😌🙋 Your recipes look bomb! I'm definitely going to stick around 😍

[@munchkinn02]

ME TOOO OMG

[@amym.1349]

Wow, I had no idea meat protein intolerance was a thing!

[@roxannematheson7307]

@@amym.1349 lolll me neither until a week ago!

[@peanutbutterqueen4327]

Omg I have that too!!!

[@hopemackk]

I don’t know what it is about fall and winter recipes, but they make me so happy. They’re just so warm and comforting!

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

Yes, I keep seeing all these fall-themed videos featuring pumpkin-spiced drinks and snacks. That’s great and all, but where’s the emphasis on the AMAZING produce available? Kabocha squash, eggplant, butternut squash, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, chard, and pumpkin itself are my favorites!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Cassie Autumn ooh yes! I love kabocha 😍

[@rachelelizabeth2930]

So true!!! There’s more to fall than just pumpkin spice!😂👌🏽

[@courtneyann24]

I just bought some acorn, butternut and spaghetti squash yesterday!

[@MarieJohnson]

Oooh that kale salad with the squash was beautiful!

[@HeatherMoreau]

This casserole dish is amazing! I love how you throw it all into the pot and bake it and that’s it. I would love more videos like that or variations on this dish! Definitely trying it :-)

[@margarett_b]

I love the ideas, aesthetics and flavours but I honestly enjoy the most the fact that you are realistic when still creating super beautiful meals

[@JohannaZee]

Brown rice casserole! My mother used to make them in the 70s and then my father made them in the 80s for us! Time to make one!

[@valeriakitty12]

Imagine the casserole with potatoes & a creamy au gratin kinda sauce?? YES PLS lol I’m so ready for the holidays! Love these videos! I really wanna impress my family with a vegan dish!

[@Emily-lf2mm]

valerie larry same!!

[@NeleMK]

I have to say as a german I always find it very interesting to see americans eat kale and how they eat it. I´ve been eating kale since I was little but we eat it very differently. Kale is one of my favourite things to eat and I can´t wait till it´s kale season here so I can enjoy it

[@hillaryandreita1012]

Marie K How do you prepare it, I’d love a new perspective. :)

[@francescabosco7619]

Marie K how do you prepare kale?

[@NeleMK]

Well obviously normally it´s not vegan but you can just leave the non vegan parts. You basically cook it together with onion, veggie broth and a little mustard. We cook it for at least 1-2 hours and then you should eat it the day after you prepare it because it will soak up all the flavour and taste even better if you reheat it. I hope I explained it so that you can understand. We never eat kale as a salad and I´ve been eating my kale like that for 20 years. P.s: We eat it together with potato and in the northern part of germany we caramallize the potato with sugar in pan so it´s kale with sweetened potatos

[@francescabosco7619]

Marie K Very interesting and thank You so much!! My mother was full German and told us many recipes like yours:)

[@annikalovegood7552]

@@NeleMK Yesss 😍 I want this right now!

[@heatherfellows2212]

Ooh yes! I’m excited to try your chickpea broccoli and rice bake! It reminds me of fall omni recipes my family used to make when I was growing up. It’ll be extra nice to have a nostalgic vegan dinner!

[@elisewilkosky3070]

Ok. That cheesy broccoli chickpea and rice casserole is 💣!! Like omg so good. Just made it and kicking myself for not making a double batch. I did sub out quinoa for the rice and added equal amounts salt and onion power to the seasonings. Also added daiya cheddar style shreds to the mix before baking. So good!! Thank you so much!

[@cupofjae]

Girl. Your chocolate stash is GOALS. You should do a video on your fave chocolates!

[@alwaysneed2learn806]

Thx for the ideas! It got REALLY chilly here so fall-inspired meals are very appealing. I purchased a delicata squash on sale last week so now I know how to prepare it. AND, my hubby LOVES casseroles (& I NEVER make them) so he'll be thrilled with this meal inspiration as well...

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

alwaysneed2learn you’re very welcome!

[@goober7810]

Hey! You should really try organic India’s teas! They’re really good and they support independent businesses here in India. My personal fav is the tulsi ginger and lime tea I’m sure youll love it

[@VitalFairLiving]

Mine too.

[@MadalinaZbranca]

I love to try and make a lot of fall dishes featuring fall vegetables, like root veggies, pumpkin and more, so this video is something that I really like! And that casserole looks so delicious!

[@sonjailmes5894]

Omg yes to that goodio chocolate!! It’s basically the only finnish vegan chocolate company but actually pretty popular here! So nice to see that it’s becoming more international too!

[@silversheep1]

I made an almost identical kale salad the other day! Mine had pepitas and dried cranberries, but no sweet potatoes. But the kale, delicata squash, and tahini dressing were all there!

[@Nicki13Lover]

I love the rice casserole idea! I never eat rice because I'm way too lazy to cook it in a pot and I don't have a crockpot or rice cooker anymore so I've just lived without...but this is a total game changer. I'm totally trying this out tonight!

[@KristaNCBarril]

Full day of eating! I love how fall themed this was! I've been on a sushi kick so this video helps give me inspiration of how to switch up my sushi bowls haha. Happy Friday!

[@melissabereading]

I LOVE delicata squash! I never remove the middle though. It becomes so crispy after it’s roasted 😋

[@lockylady6864]

I have been watching you for a while now and I love your videos so much this is one of the main channels that I watch oak your food ideas are some of the best and creative

[@leonorfeio3948]

You sound so happy 😊😊 great to hear you in good spirits! Love from Portugal 😘

[@nataliekochova3453]

In my family, we've always cooked rice in the oven. And when I found out that you normally cook it on the stove, I felt really betrayed. I love all of the recipes!! Let the fall come.🍁💛

[@maudvankol2414]

hey Caitlin, i absolutely love your videos, you are actually part of the people that inspired me to finally make the change. Im transitioning atm and loveee it. but my biggest struggle is what to eat out. and i dont mean when im going out for dinner, but when i go to parties and events, what do i eat?? how do you handle that. can you please make a video on this? greets from the Netherlands x Maud

[@VanjasVeganVoyage]

I usually hate fall!! Hate hate hate fall!! It means the days get shorter and the temperature drops.... but your food video made the fall not so bad. Thanks for sharing. You da bomb!!

[@faithcook2429]

i'm going back home next week for the first time since i went vegan and i'm SO EXCITED to make that casserole with my mom hot damn

[@emilyrobinson3731]

I made the cheesy broccoli rice casserole and it was amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe I can’t believe how easy it was to make! ❤️🌱

[@smallfootprint2961]

OMG, Yum! Can't wait to try these. You really are creative, with food, Caitlin. Thanks for all your great ideas. Lynn

[@PumpkinMozie]

I looove rambutan!! It’s so delicious and underrated

[@shannon8467]

That casserole looks delish! We also just picked up some delicata squash at the farmers market so we may try that recipe :).

[@jodrew1845]

I love that evening meal. I've got to copy that salad, it look's fantastic.

[@lisaha5565]

That salad looks delish, and Southeast Asian fruits are the best! You should try Mangosteen if you ever get the chance

[@deniseramirez4047]

I can't wait to make these, they looked so tasty! I do have a question, can you show us or point us to a video that you've made showing us how to eat the tropical fruit in the video?

[@lisarussell7626]

This was cool! I think I like your blog style what I eat in a day more, but totally get you won’t always do that. Thanks for the meal ideas though! Might have to try the dump and bake 😊

[@rachelelizabeth2930]

I seriously cannot wait to try that broccoli casserole!

[@jamarchy]

Hey Caitlin, I just love your different nationality-inspired recipe videos! Would you consider a Cuban/Latino or Spanish themed video? Thanks!

[@skylarhoney2775]

i love the colors of fall foods

[@SweetAndGlitter]

Omg I'm drooling over that salad it looks so good!

[@gypsygurl]

Caitlin, I truly love your videos. All the recipes look so easy to put together and yummy, I can't wait to try the broccoli casserole today. I might substitute with cauliflower and black beans as that is what I need to use from pantry and grocery. So thanks for this brilliant idea of casserole vegan style. Once again I will try asking, would you please please tell where did you buy that tea concoction kettle thingy from? I have different styles but I like the ease and shape of this one, please share.

[@liveyourbest]

I have lunch in 10 minutes, I am so ready. These all look delicious🤩

[@kylebaker8502]

Casserole looks great going to try that out this weekend!

[@kylebaker8502]

Made it last night didn’t have any brown rice so I substituted with Freekeh (which cooks similar to brown rice) turned out very well, great recipe! Thanks!

[@TheTwistedStory]

Currently eating homemade (vegan) pumpkin butternut squash soup while watching this :) All of these recipes look amazing!

[@MichaelRorich]

You're one of the few vegan KZbinrs that doesn't use tofu in every video. I mean I don't have a problem with tofu but it gets old real quick.

[@erykasr1]

I literally made tofu Benedict with a tofu egg, tofu Benedict sauce, and tofu bacon. It was delicious

[@sarahthegr8er]

DatLeanBoi I agree

[@peanutbutterqueen4327]

I love tofu and could eat it all the time but I know what you mean it gets old like theres more options

[@youmakemehappy7]

@@erykasr1 lol you're amazing!!💗💗

[@lifeaskoki99]

That video is really dope especially fall season is on the way but I'm type of person who loves savory things how can I use pumpkin for savory recipes 🤔💕

[@anubistanjangurrah5361]

My grandpa used to have a comquat tree in his yard....I also used to pick lowquats(their European cousin) up and down the road from me when I was in San Antonio, TX. The thing you'll have to worry about will be the seeds(just spit them out)

[@anne-julietremblay3420]

Aaaah im obsessed with everything you make whyyyyyyy i would eat like you everyday

[@andreatamayo8]

That’s a french press. You’re supposed to push down the “thingy” so you’re only left with the water and the loose tea is pushed down. Is for coffee but now that I see it can be used for tea im so excited

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Andrea Tamayo it’s actually not! There is no lever to press it down, it’s just a handle 😊

Yaaasss, dill and kale is such a tasty combo!

[@Kelsey-es1vb]

I get excited every time you say "well incorporated" 😀

Soaking Brown rice for more than 2 hours is easier to digest. Brown rice makes me acidic but if soaked for hours its easier.

Mmmmmm that salad looks delicious

[@sallyk1937]

I was so so excited about the casserole, but then I ended up disappointed because my broccoli must have overcooked and lost everything that I love about broccoli. Is there anything that I can do next time so that my broccoli will still be delicious?

[@jhon1997hotmailcom]

How would you adjust the recipe if you wanted to use white rice :)?

[@pjp9383]

I know this is an old question, but since you didn't get an answer - I would assume mostly a shorter cooking time. And maybe less liquid? As brown rice normally needs a bit more water than white.

[@drmedemilie]

Just curious but for what reason are we toasting the nooch? Does is make it more flavorful ?

These look so yummy and I can’t wait to try the pumpkin pie breakfast. I love pumpkin pie oats too. So yummy. It’s my version of (shudder) pumpkin spice crap lol. And omg. Just had to comment. Massaging the kale is revolutionary!! I’ve used this trick to convert my whole family into kale lovers!

[@holliejenniferparry810]

Is there an alternative for nutritional yeast in this recipe? Many people are super intolerant to it (including myself) :(

[@juliesong3149]

Those fruits are very common in East Asian countries so definitely have had them. If you can come like East Asian countries, please come, especially Vietnam (shameless plug, a proud Vietnamese here) and we do have a good variety of vegan food since 70% of the population is Buddhism and many practice to be a vegetarian or vegan If you have the chance, please come to Buddhist pagodas, big or small, they have really good vegan food (I know because my grandma is the head nun of my local pagoda)
