What I Eat in a Day // No-Knead Bread, Vegan Caesar + Broccoli Beef Soy Curls

[@hispringtime]

His encouragement when you were running was so sweet

[@ShufflingYogi]

Yeah in a way I wish she would have said I'm so proud of myself but also so thankful for Eric because you can tell he is pushing her and helping her be the best version of her. Felt weirdly selfish or something to not acknowledge that

[@m.g.3913]

@@ShufflingYogi I totally agree with what you said. It's so hard when you can barely deal with yourself to also deal with other people though. From my point of view it's already a great accomplishment that they're doing stuff together.

[@charlenestraw.]

Ashleigh I’m sure she shows her appreciation for him all the time. She was just feeling proud of what she accomplished at that moment. I don’t think it was selfish personally. I think it’s great to congratulate yourself when you’re sticking to your goals especially if you really struggle with it.

[@alexismyrissatorres640]

I’m crying because I’ve felt the same way, too. It’s so hard to find the motivation to care about anything, when I care so little about myself. I have to actively tell myself that I’m being irrational. So, lately, I’ve been feeling this sudden kick of motivation, i just want to hold on to. I’ve been going running almost everyday, even when I don’t want to. I feel so much better about myself/my decision to go through with it, afterwards. It’s so relieving to know someone I’ve been subscribed to for such a long time, who has dealt with depression for such a long time, is making some sort of progress. It feels like growth in both you and your channel. A growth I can relate to. So, I hope you know we’re proud of you as an audience. I pray that your progress only continues.

[@katieflennery7662]

I appreciate you being candid about your struggles with depression. I've always had depression issues as well. Oddly, I find bright sunshiny days hard to deal with and what makes me happy are dark, overcast days. Fall weather is ideal, winter is okay, and I hate summer. It is such an accomplishment to be productive when doing anything but sleeping is a struggle. My dogs make a world of difference in dealing with depression. My mini schnauzer knows when I'm sad and he lays his little head on me and gives me such unconditional love I can get out of whatever bad place I'm in for him.

[@michellebeckham6402]

Katie Flennery I so agree about loving gloomy weather! It really makes me happy. I love Fall & winter & hate summer.

[@m.g.3913]

@@michellebeckham6402 You 2 are definitely of a different species than I am. Anything but a sunny, hot day is a wasted day in my opinion (and that's a lot of days here in the Netherlands).

[@michellebeckham6402]

M.G. Yes, most people love a sunny day, but I thrive in cold, gloomy days and I live in Southern California where there’s lots of sun.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

@@m.g.3913 I am more motivated when it's sunny but I don't get depressed because if it's a genetic issue it's doesn't seem to run in my family. I also don't seem to have allergies but I did have a intolerance to dairy before changing to a vegan lifestyle and I avoid MSG because I do have a intolerance with that.

[@laurawitt1753]

I totally feel the same. I'm already afraid of all the hot summerdays without a single cloud on the sky.When it's sunny I feel a pressure to be productive and happy and all these thoughts leads to the opposite. You are not alone x

[@melaniepage5079]

I am so incredibly proud of you for being vulnerable and expressing your emotions. I am so happy that you are growing closer to your goals!! I've been a viewer for 3 ish years now and I can honestly say that you and your channel are my favorite. Thank you for helping me on my bad days and giving me the courage to be vulnerable as well!!!

[@isyt1320]

These long vlogs are really getting me through this quarantine... I've been following you since 2017 and have loved seeing you change and grow over the years! So proud of all you've achieved

[@elisek6630]

Sharing your journey/struggles/accomplishments just helped me to get out of bed, after sleeping over 12 hours, and going to my kitchen to make tacos. I can only imagine how many others feel the same after watching you share your personal journey. Rock on, sis.

[@chocolatehaveeyes]

Also as someone who grew up eating Chinese food (tofu and soy curls being 2 of the main ingredients), it's really interesting to watch a different take on those ingredients. The tofu dishes I grew up eating are good, but you guys cook it so differently, it's so interesting to see how versatile this ingredient can be.

[@bastosaswang7398]

My husband got so excited when I said you had a new video "SHE'S BACK? ARE THEY MAKING MORE SOY CURLS ?" Lol. Inspired to make more salads too.

[@Pinupred21]

I know I'm a stranger, but I've been watching you for years! I am so freaking proud of how far you've come. You really are an inspiration, keep going! ♥️♥️♥️

[@NatashaD101]

i love when you talk about mental health

[@ggluvr8139]

hey ilysm...as someone with depression i rly aspire to be like you, even though your life probably isn’t perfect still (no life is) your journey towards self-improvement is rly inspiring i love you!!!!! thank you for being yourself you are wonderful!

[@MrsTreshaM]

I'm crying with you. I too have suffered depression. I am worse in the Summer and it hitting me hard. You are the bright spot of my day. I love you, not creepy...just you are very special to so many.

[@LittleLostMindBlower]

I could really relate when you spoke about how the winter can be extra hard for someone with depression and how it's hard to find motivation to do the things you love. It's awesome that you've been able to battle that and accomplish things even when the season is bringing you down.

[@alisa.maks26]

biiig hugs! depression sucks big time and so, so hard to get out of and a lot of comments that people make at the time, trying to be helpful, just aren't. thank you for bringing up celebrating small victories, it's especially important at weird, uncertain times like this. and we love you no matter what you're going through and love seeing whatever you put out there, even if it's created at a difficult time. hey, you got me eating so many more vegetarian and vegan meals and no one has ever done that, it's a major accomplishment that you were unaware of, so thank you! :D

[@jocelynfoley6201]

I know that feeling... when you can’t probably talk because your mouth is frozen over. Way to to and get ai it! You’re an inspiration!!! And don’t you forget that lady!

[@aliciacastaneda7711]

This made me emotional...you’re definitely not alone, and it’s great to know that I’m not either. We do need to celebrate small victories, so good for you! And you have an amazing partner to help you push during the rough times. Sending love and positive vibes❤️

[@Rei.Eatsfoods]

I really appreciate you including those words about how what might seem small to someone is huge for another. I just started working out & I've been minimizing it in because I know it's not what most people would consider a workout, for me though it's huge.

[@agooddaytocraft]

Good video. My daughter struggles with depression. This year she bought a full spectrum light & has it in her home office. She turns it on for 30 mibutes while she works in her computer & says she is happier. A friend told me about the light & says it really helps her too. Just an idea I wanted to share with you.

[@MaraBeauty]

Honnestly the adorable unconditional love that your bf has for you makes me so happy 💕 it's the cutest thing on this planet, you guys are goals 💕💕💕💕

[@Katek8]

SARAH WE LOVE YOU!! (And you too Eric :)) thank you for sharing your story and being such a lovely, relatable, and approachable presence here online. All the love and hugs ❤️

[@renmelii]

this video made me tear up multiple times, from your candid little speech to the supportive and sweet relationship that i see you guys have. It is really nice to be reminded of these human feelings & moments

[@ireneangulo1214]

I really look up to your videos during this time.. the relationship you two have and the real day to day vegan lifestyle gives me life :)

[@sharalli3112]

My husband (and myself to a degree) also suffer from seasonal depression. I dealt with, and took medication for depression many years ago. I can tell you that one of the best things we have ever done was moved south. We found ourselves in San Antonio, Texas. Between the amazing culture and history this city has to offer, plus the amazing weather (minimal rain, very mild winters, lots of sunshine) .... we are the happiest we have been in a very long time. If seasonal depression is an issue, I highly recommend (if you can) consider trying out a new city. After Miss Rona goes away of course.

[@NikkiLove9022]

I’ve recently started running again. Well, attempting to, and I’m always out of breath and can never do it long. BUT, I’ve been doing it consistently, and I’m trying to celebrate the small victories. ❤️ I hope you’re well and feeling much better. x

[@ohleander02]

Depression is typically cyclical, but it can also be triggered by a lot of outside influences. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder five years ago. I'm in a cycle now and having a hard time, but I've been pushing myself because I'm currently responsible for my partner's terror-monster-child. So. It's okay. You'll be okay. I'm proud of you for doing whatever is working for you and for ANY steps you're making. :)

[@chocolatehaveeyes]

Thank you for that bit about small victory. It's the reason why I love your channel so much. Because it's not only about cooking (though your cooking is also awesome). It's about life and being kind to yourself :)

[@cghistorymaker]

We're proud of you too!!! 🙌 😊 💖 CONGRATS GIRL!! 🎉 Sending positive thoughts your way.

[@rosemaryarmstrong8264]

You deserve to be proud of yourself, you are amazing! I have struggled with depression my whole life also! Hang in there and you are awesome!!!

[@di5gustipated]

Girl, keep that running up. It clears your head, embrace it. You're probably experiencing some kind of runner's high which is giving you that emotional burst which some experience as euphoria. When I hit my first 10k on a run I broke down crying and laughing at the same time. I really feel that physical exertion like running or lifting weights helps your mind process things and enables someone to handle day to day stresses.

[@NotVeryAmusing]

So proud of you Sarah, love you!

[@AmeliaAppels]

Girl I FEEL you. I have that seasonal depression, and just major depression in general. I find the routine helps, but also don't be afraid to take time off for yourself. Have a fun bath with candy or something you like, maybe a good book or something. Sending love! ^_^

[@MatanYWB]

Proud of you sarah, your content really makes a difference. Keep spreading the joy ❤

[@Bluerasb3rry]

I'm CRYING. I relate to this so much. Thank you for being so transparent 🥰😭

[@tessnf]

Sarah I figured out how to make soy milk that isn’t bitter!! All you have to do if heat the beans up BEFORE blending them. No need to remove skins. Strain after water bean mixture is cooked!

[@allisonnelson1564]

I added roasted garlic to that same recipe and it was SO GOOD. I kinda smeared it on with my hands after the long rise.

[@tjwilliamson7335]

I been a vegan for almost 13 years going on June would make it 14 years. My wife just started her vegan journey since 1 month and 3 daughters been vegan since childhood because they just didn't like meat at all. My wife said that she gonna leave that meat alone.

[@Agetroh]

Yay I’m so happy you made soy curl beef and broccoli 🥦🤗 I’ve been wanting to make this but don’t know how

[@loverofmysoul8742]

After doing the NYTIMES no knead bread for a while, I found My Daily Bread in a Crock recipe which allows you to have bread for up to two weeks. This week I want to try making sourdough because I can't find yeast. I also had to buy 12 lbs of soy curls because no smaller amounts were available, so thanks for the recipe ideas. I've successfully tried Mary's Test Kitchen's soy milk and tofu recipe. Make a lot because my batches were small but absolutely delicious. I couldn't stop eating it fresh. If you can get the cultures, Vegan Lovlie has an easy tempeh recipe too.

[@amg6854]

The salad looks amazing! I make the no kneed bread all the time, it's awesome.

Excellent video despite your mental health issues. I can't understand what those with depression have to cope with. But you're still a encouraging example to those who do understand.

[@TheShin5555]

Hi Sarah, just wondering if you might consider in making the no knead bread video? I know you put a link on the recipe, but just wondering if you could the video on ho to make it? Thank you so much in advance.

[@alisa.maks26]

on a completely different note, were you ever considering testing how to get seitan out of regular flour? i saw a video on it, where you soak it and rinse it, but i'm not sure how reliable it is, but the idea is super interesting, especially when you can't get seitan (there's none in my area, just ready products made with it)

[@loverofmysoul8742]

I'm old enough to have used that method before vital wheat became widely available. It works but it's pretty labor intensive and if you rinse too much flour, you can end up with a rubbery consistency.

[@di5gustipated]

@@loverofmysoul8742 I've tried this as well, I think I burned more calories making it than i took in consuming the result lol

I just looked up the bread recipe.. does it really only take 1/4 Teaspoon of yeast.. sounds like nothing. I’m interested because your bread looks so good!

[@Britbabe53]

Good for you to reach your goals! Have you ever tried a SAD light?

[@paulywolley]

If you add a couple teaspoons of diastatic malt powder to the bread's dry ingredients, it adds so much depth to the aroma and flavour. This is great if you want a more flavourful plain bread. :-)

[@paulinamelinda1662]

I'm so proud of you ❤😭
