Seriously man, your videos are absolute gold, keep spreading the positivity and knowledge and all the best to you and Crystal in the future! Also, just to clear up the confusion regarding the yams, for the most part the potatoes labeled “yams” sold in the United States (and I assume Canada) are not yams, but a softer variety of sweet potato. Real yams, grown in Africa and Asia, are actually completely unrelated to sweet potatoes and have dark skin and usually white flesh.

my dude, I gotta say, you've been an inspiration. been watching your vids for a little over a month now. been vegan nearly 5 years now. I get the impression that your videos are focused on trying to motivate/help/advise/mentor(?) either newly converted vegans or trying to entice people to convert (nothing wrong with that at all, of course!) but might be nice for you to know that you're also helping medium-to-long term vegans reinvent their meals and lifestyle choices. feeling reaffirmed in my veganism. thanks bro and keep up the amazing work! subscribed! (of course!!!) :)

We got an Instant Pot on sale for $90 (a mid range model). Since then have never bought canned beans again. You can go from dried to cooked in about 20-30mins depending on which bean. If you overnight soak it's about 6-8mins cooking time. I'll batch cook 2 cups of dried beans and have enough to cook 2+ family meals. Plus it can do all kinds of other things. We also heavily use the overnight timer to wake up to cooked steel cut oats on mornings we have to be out the door early. If your a mass bean consumer, it's such a worthy investment and time saver. Suss them out (Amazon / Canadian Tire etc...) and get them on sale! Nice video Derek and thanks for the freebie ebook!!
