[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you so much for watching this video! I really love seeing the response every time a new one comes out. 🥰 Also, how freaking cute is Mary?? We’ve known her for so long and our friends are so happy she made the video. 🥹

[@AF-ke9by]

Sarah, to make the cornbread a little more moist, substitute part of the cornmeal with prepared masa. The finer texture seems to keep it moist. I have been doing it for years, and will always. 😊

[@thebarisinger]

Sarah, your videos are such a balm to the soul. This was just the right thing for fighting off the Sunday scaries

[@kaseyrompallo2411]

Balm to the soul… I love that

[@emilyclark6330]

That's absolutely adorable when you were explaining when you lost power, playing video games and eating homemade food. This just shows that womderful food and company makes for an amazing night to remember ❤️

[@jayhutchinson1962]

I just found your KZbin channel and I love it love it love it, it makes me so happy to see young people living this lifestyle. I became a vegan when i was 15 in 1974, your videos are very well written and edited good job ❤

[@cheerubebayonettaholopaine2638]

oh god, i wasnt even alive then! im in awe ❤🎉🎉

[@cheerubebayonettaholopaine2638]

i love her channel, im vegan now since around 12 yesrs and come back pretty often to get inspired 😊

[@maetaylor5677]

Looking at meals like this really makes me think about how valuable learning to cook at home is. Any person would be hard pressed to find Gyoza like this anywhere! And here you are sharing this recipe making phenomenal food at home. Inspiring. Ive never made gyoza from scratch but would liked to try after watching this. I am pretty lazy, but damn these look so good

[@alianareads134]

Girl I NEED that caramel pumpkin pie recipe asap!!! It looks so good!!

[@juliac6309]

I made the broccoli cheddar soup last night and it is SO good!!! I’ll definitely be making it again!

[@jenscats808]

Hi Sarah!! I've missed you and so glad to see a lentil soup AND a mushroom dish. I just got the most lovely mushrooms and needed ideas.

[@thatgirlmarkie]

I love seeing you cook from scratch! I highly recommend Mary’s Test Kitchen video on dumplings. I used that recipe and it was very simple! Granted, my dumplings weren’t nearly as pretty as yours and Eric’s.

[@sandrabraga7269]

OMG so many things to share: * I was born in Brazil, now in Canada and going to Colorado next week for work. Not a friend of the winter , the short days and the snow freak me out 😂 * Your food looks amazing * I love a good soup ( even when is not cold) and i also prefer savory breakfast. Soups make the greatest breakfast Love your videos , wishing you a year full of good vegan deliciousness ❤

[@annmacdonald468]

Baking cornbread in the instant pot makes it really moist and delicious.

[@geraltofriftia]

So good to watch such a comforting video after a long work day. Stay warm and safe^^ Thank you for your content and have a wonderful holiday season

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

This is so sweet 🥹 thank you for watching!

[@Sarah-eb9rz]

As always every meal you made look so delicious. I agree with you when it comes to keeping thanksgiving simple. Less clean up and stress is always good . After seeing your homemade tortillas I need to try making them! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your love ones.

[@SofiaMichelle97]

Yumm!! I love that you make big batches and eat throughout the week because that’s so much less intimidating for me than cooking for every single meal!!

[@dibamoca9885]

Everything looks so cozy and delicious 😋

[@katievdbshsh757]

Your Thanksgiving meals looks great. Going to try it in 2 weeks when my grandson comes over. All recipes I will be cooking in month of Jan 2024. Can you believe 2023 is almost over, 1 day left in 2023. Happy new Year 🎉🎉🎉

[@zepzour7391]

you're my favorite vegan content creator for entertainment. the videos are so comforting to watch/listen to. I often have them on repeat while im working/studying or playing games. I'll be honest I haven't had the chance to try many of your recipes, but I'm sure they are delicous! I get most of my recipes from RainbowPlantLife, they are so good, and im a habitual eater so I often don't branch out enough. Your videos are comfort for my soul though :D

[@miguelinabnasr3719]

Sarah, so happy you are back! Thanks so much for posting this video!!! It's great to see these recipes because gets thoughts going on what to make next!

[@HornyKoala]

I'm addicted to savoury oatmeal at the moment. I combine a cup of oatmeal, half a cup of lentils, a bit of veggie stock, peppers and onions as the base. Then I top it with something spicy like kimchi or sambal. Such a gorgeous breakfast.

[@cherylkessler9300]

I’m also a fan of savory oatmeal. I cook the oatmeal with chia seeds and golden flax seeds. When it’s cooked, I mix in nutritional yeast, roasted almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and black salt (Kala namak). Sometimes I’ll add some kale, too. Delicious!

[@rnmatsuda]

I love your videos - I don't cringe when you cut veggies as I do with other youtubers (afraid that they will hurt themselves). You're such a great cook - I learn so much from your videos.

[@pinkhope84]

I make the same dough for pierogie, flour, salt, oil, hot water. My Favorit filling is ruskie. Potatos, fried onoin, Quark (German dairy Product) butter salt and pepper. So good with a bowl of beetroot soup on the side.

[@jessicaredman-27]

It's 33 degrees where I am in Texas this morning (6:46am) and this is the perfect video to watch while staying cozy in my pajamas.

[@courtneyparrish1207]

I used beyond sausage for my stuffing this year too and that was our favorite side!

[@hierrbatera]

so beautiful! i sometimes struggle to know what to cook everyday... but watching your video taught me to not overthinking it, you can actually create something so delicious with such a simple ingredients

[@vegolina8839]

As always this video was like a cosy hug from a friend. I feel comforted and inspired now 🥰

[@maetaylor5677]

Im in Arizona and this winter been feeling a touch of seasonal depression. This is comforting to watch. Love the ideas.

[@arj-peace]

Thanks for the vid. I live in MN and I struggle with the short dark winter days too. Soup definitely helps! As well as walks in nature (no matter the weather), lots of hot tea, sleeping later, daily meditation, epsom baths, seeing friends regularly, and my happy light when there are too many gray days in a row. Sending you sunshine and good vibes. ☀😎💛

[@theresamnsota3925]

I’m so glad you discovered the brilliance that is sausage in your stuffing. My family has always put sausage in their stuffing. This was my first Thanksgiving as a vegan. I’ve never been a fan of my MIL’s mushy stuffing, so I pretty much made my own Thanksgiving meal at my MIL’s next to their traditional meal. The Impossible sausage gave me the taste of home just in a serving of stuffing.

[@juliachamberland4712]

Your videos are just such a delight, Sarah. I've been watching for years and years, and I'm always excited to see a new one! ❤

[@ashleyalhadeff]

I always make AT LEAST one of your recipes from your videos. So helpful. Thank you!

[@patricelockertanthony7630]

@SarahsVeganKitchen Loved, loved, LOVED everything here, Sarah! I'll be trying it all out (I may tweak a few things 'cause I'm THAT person 🤣). Holiday spreads have been my last holdout because of memories and traditions. Also, I love mushroom stroganoff, but I've made the vegetarian version...on to the vegan version now. It's so much easier than we've been given to think to eat flavorful and fully nutritious vegan meals. My inner and outer self thanks you for your contributions to fewer asthma attacks, weight loss, and better health overall. Happy Holidays to you and yours!💞💞💞

[@Fiftynine414]

You are one of my favorite vegan cooks. Your food is so comforting and homestyle, your recipes are not made impossible to watch by being too full of self-focused blather.

[@veganmamafourgirls5370]

This was truly a vegan comfort food recipe video if I've ever seen one. So many great recipes and everything looks so delicious! Thank you and Happy Chanukkah :)

[@ana-hg4hx]

Delicious and wholesome stuff ❤ also love when you show us how you use up leftovers in different ways! Like the chili in the tortilla’s :)

[@brothermayihavesomeloops7048]

Just the cozy video I needed. I moved to Portland in June, so it's my turn this year to be extra SAD without sun for days on end. 😮‍💨 I've alao missed the podcast. Hope you guys can find the time for another episode soon! Happy holodays 🎉

[@chemistryflavored]

Whenever I’m in a cooking rut you seem to post one of these and it gives me so many ideas! Also congee for breakfast is amazing and I highly recommend! I burned myself out on cream of wheat and oatmeal and it’s been my go to esp in the colder months. It’s also a great replacement for soup when you are sick.

[@kaidadakitten]

Soaking your cornmeal in plant milk for a bit before mixing it in helps with dry cornbread so much!

[@micheleharris2361]

I've caught a few of your videos now and I'm really enjoying them! I love how you're so willing to jump in from the beginning of a dish, like the sourdough for stuffing, or tortillas - I've made homemade and you reminded me about them! We went vegan low fat for health reasons, but it's reminding me that I'd like to get back to cooking like this again... Btw - definitely looking forward to the veganized milk bread rolls! :)

[@lisalouise999]

You don't need a tortilla press if you want to try the corn tortillas first. You just need a piece of plastic folded in half (I use large a plastic food bag), oil/non stick spray and something flat to squash them with (I use the lid of a pyrex dish). Spray the plastic, put a ball of tortilla dough on it, fold the plastic in half so the ball is sandwiched. Then squash the covered ball with the flat lid or pan

[@lynnrumsey3296]

It all looks sooooo delicious. My favorite kind of food. I use 1 small unsweetened Kite yogurt instead of applesauce in my cornbread. Really good. Thank you for your wonderful recipes! Happy Holidays!

[@venus86e]

Sarah! I missed ya!! Thank you for making a new video :). I'm all about the mushroom stroganoff and will try it! I made your pumpkin streusel muffins last month and they were delicious and a big hit! Happy you two are thriving in Colorado, but do stay as warm as possible

[@bettycarmella1127]

I love your videos Sarah. I’m not vegan but I learn so much watching you🥰

[@robinbrown4674]

I'm like you, Sarah, when it comes to oatmeal. I don't like the sweet stuff and put vegan butter, salt and pepper like a baked potato in mine. I have also been known to put bagel seasoning and flax or chia in my oatmeal as well! As for the cornbread, I sometimes use creamed corn and cheese. That may help with the moisture? So thankful to have found your channel a while back as I have had to eat vegan because there are too many foods that do not agree with me. Stay safe and warm!

[@Ericaaaaaaaaaa]

Savory oatmeal is delicious! I season it the same way you would congee.

[@zepzour7391]

yeah i love adding field roast sausage to stuffing. Im sure beyond sausage is good too, where i live its only sold frozen tho so its harder to cook, and it has so much extra oil which idk if its necessary. the field roast seems a tiny bit healthier from the ingredients but i still love the flavor

[@nealieanderson512]

Oh wow these all look amazing! I’m gonna try some this week!

[@IsidoraSage]

I used field roast apple sausage in my stuffing this year and it was really good. I made a bread version and a corn bread version and both were a hit even with the omnivores. I can't wait to try your broccoli soup. I can use something hearty

[@thatsberry]

I love your videos. Always get the ideas what to cook next :D I'm definitely gonna make your vegan broccoli cheddar soup and this mushroom stroganoff! They look soo soo comforting. Perfect for current weather conditions that we have in Poland.

[@dianasthings729]

Those recipes look delicious! Can't wait to make them! You give me so many ideas ! Thanks. Those homemade tortillas are also chapatis I've made them many times.

[@KirasWholesomeLife]

Love your style of video, so much brill of cooking with the voice over and I love listening to your voice haha! You’ve inspired me thank youuu. Love your recipes also 💚

[@yourprincesslaya]

Happy Holidays to you two! Thanks for sharing all the great videos this year!

[@B_ready4671]

I shop 4 a recipe and then change my mind almost every week😄

[@Chrissy4281]

I definitely resonate with this video. I completely overextended myself to the point of exhaustion on Thanksgiving and I vow to NEVER do that again. I don’t like the thought of savory oatmeal and tho I love oatmeal I don’t make it as much because I’d have to eat it with some sort of sweetness and I just don’t want that flavor profile often for breakfast. I would love a dedicated video for the rolls. They look amazing. I was going to go down the rabbit hole if you will, of all your content because I was missing your cozy cooking videos. So glad to see this upload tho I’ll still watch more..like a chip..can’t see just one lol. TFS. You and Eric have a great holiday season and RELAX 🤗

[@judithp.5962]

I like tempeh instead of tofu for my gyoza filling -- it's less processed, and if you chop it up it works just as well.

[@jena8277]

Everything looks amazing!

[@jenwylie4093]

Everything looks amazing!!

[@hollyk.3317]

Highly recommend you try Nisha Vora’s (Rainbow plant life) cornbread. It is AWESOME! Just made some today. Have made it about 5 times.

[@gregm8080]

Savory oatmeal is my default now. My wife didn't care for sweet oatmeal and convinced me to try making a savory version. It's the only way I can get her to eat it regularly. It's stupid easy. I heat 6 cups of water in the microwave for 6min then mix a giant glob (2 tbs?) of vegetable base to make a broth. Chop up a couple sweet onions and saute those in my instapot. While that's cooking I chop up a 8oz of mushrooms and cook those for a bit. Keep the onions and mushrooms stirred and scraped off the bottom of the pot. Add a little broth before they burn, then throw in another 2c of water, 1.5c steel cut oats, and 1/2 tsp of light salt. Cook on high for 5min and natural release. Add a handful or two of craisins, stir and let cool in pot or container. It will thicken. When reheating I like to add some soy milk for creaminess and sometimes I'll microwave a couple handfuls of greens in my bowl first. Can also add nutritional yeast or crushed walnuts. 8c water 2 medium onions 8oz mushrooms 2tbs veg base 1.5c steel-cut oats 0.5tsp light salt handful of craisins

[@kathleenbutler9967]

What a cook you are!! You rock!! You have inspired me...again...everytime I watch your videos I am inspired...thanks for all you do!!

[@hairydoghottie]

i was wondering if during a vid you could talk about tips and tricks you have for using cast iron? i have trouble with items sticking and would love some advice ❤

[@timaal5897]

There is a iraqi red lentil soup that is a really popular and easy breakfast so I think that lentil soup for breakfast is a great way to start the day

[@jessicaking9726]

I'm with you on the Tday menu. I"ve always made a TON of food - big breakfast, mains, sides, snacks/appetizers throughout the day, desserts... for who?! lol This year we kept it simple with a main, two sides, store-bought rolls for my husband, and a simple ramekin dessert. Done. Absolutely NO regrets.

[@Pyrion93]

I'm always so excited when I see a new video from you! This one was amazing as always!!!

[@evavargova42]

I literally can't say it enough....THIS IS AMAZING AND YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER when it comes to my cooking ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ronyroberts7781]

I have a hard time eating oatmeal in general,. The texture can be challenging for me and I, too, don't really crave sweet breakfasts. This morning I made Mark Bittman's salt and pepper steel cut oats. I really enjoyed it! I had some sauteed spinach on the side.

[@juliagrummel8884]

I add lentils to my congee! So good. I'm a savory breakfast girl too!

[@zednone8768]

One cornbread tip (from a long family line of cooks): put a couple of tablespoons of oil in the bottom of your cast iron skillet and put it in the oven when you start the preheat. After you've mixed all the cornbread ingredients, pull the hot skillet from the oven and pour in the batter. You should hear a bit of sizzle as the batter spreads out. Don't be concerned if the oil comes up the sides--hot oil "seals" the batter and helps the keep the moisture in the finished cornbread. All the greats and grans and moms used bacon grease for this. I use olive oil!

[@prelimchamp]

Love your videos!! Was needing some good comfort food recipes

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Love to hear it! You get the 1st comment award, by the way. 🥇

[@prelimchamp]

@@SarahsVeganKitchen you’ve inspired to make my own gyoza. Since my son can’t have store bought ones due to being gluten free and he absolutely loves them.

[@karenmiller1105]

How funny …I was literally thinking about you and when your next video would be out - and here it is. Loved it. Full of amazing recipes and inspiration. Thanks.

[@ElizaSandra]

Definitely support soup for breakfast!!

[@wegang]

Everything looks so delicious, love this cozy style in video ❤😊

[@lindahunter842]

I just made the broccoli cheddar soup. Boy was that a hit! Very easy to make and very filling!

[@BethAge95]

Everything looks delicious! Think I'll make the broccoli cheddar soup for weekly stew/soup next week :) We do have really nice cheese flavoured vegan cream where I live, so might add that, bcs I'm out of nooch...

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I love to add fire roasted tomatoes to my lentil soup. It gives it sort of this Cajun profile that I love.

[@rae2818]

All of these recipes sound so freaking delicious!

[@JelenaBraum]

Congee is awesome, especially for cold winter. I fell in love with it the moment I found out this thing exists (it isn't too well known here in Central Europe :D ). I am not vegan, but I do meat (with meatballs and fish sauce), vegetarian (with eggs and veggie bouillon), and vegan versions (with seaweed or miso, sprouts, and sometimes tofu), and they are all good! It's exactly the recipe where even we meat-eaters don't need meat at all, which is great because I am trying not to eat it so often (hence my following your channel). And I think it will also work very well with vegan meat substitutes, although I haven't tried those. By the way, Sadia from Pick Up Limes had variants of savoury oatmeal on her channel, and it seemed worth trying (especially the chipotle one), although I hadn't gotten to try that myself yet.

[@Doe3Love8]

what u described for what you’d want for thanksgiving was literally what i had, gardein roast, mashes potatoes, and roasted broccoli. apple pie for dessert lol

[@BirdieMcLovin]

Everything is amazing that you make! And totally agree with you about Thanksgiving cuisine. I want to change it up next year. Maybe some vegan baked ziti or something.

[@TJ-kz1ul]

These all look so good!!

[@italianprincess5046]

i always over commit on thanksgiving too. Also have you trued the whole foods cornbread? i buy that just add a little butter and just egg

[@jenniferkliokis4936]

I made the mushroom stroganoff a few days ago and it was AMAZING! My daughter and I couldn’t get enough of it. We put it over jasmine rice and just kept saying WOW as we were eating it🤣

[@louise62602]

Love your channel! It's my new favorite ❤ Your voice is super calming. I'm the same with seasonal depression 😕 The cold and getting dark at 430pm really messes me up.

[@petraaccount]

Hello Sarah, I love your videos. Re morning congee - have you tried adding Yondu to oats on the stove? You could add sliced vegetables (cabbage, mushrooms or sliced carrots into matchsticks) and tofu for something heartier, and top with fresh green onions or coriander if available. I usually cook the oats with water plain and add on top a drizzle of sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper (preferably white) and if you have some, vegan fish sauce or seasoning sauce (Maggi, Golden Mountain?). Have a lovely season ahead.

[@jamiecee4960]

Yum. Love potato soup and homemade bread. Everything looks good. Mushroom stroganoff sounds so good.

[@michelehayes9509]

I really love all your videos! So well done!

[@joeb4142]

Sarah I really enjoyed this video 😊 Unfortunately I’ve never been much of a soup fan. I know soup is nutritious and great for cold days but I just wasn’t into it. However my tastes have changed quite a bit in the four years I’ve been a vegan so I’m going to give your soup a try. Wish me luck. Thanks for the recipes!

[@coffeeandbookmealdeliveryr1328]

Yea I'm so excited your back thank goodness

[@rachelbrough8160]

Hi Sarah, I'm pretty new to your channel and I've been really enjoying your videos. You and Eric are so lovely together and it's really nice seeing how you encourage & support each other, you seem a really nice couple, I wish we were friends! 😊 Love watching you cook and the cheddar & brocoli soup looks yummy! I do like cooking and creating new things but I've let it slide a bit over the past year or so, I'm trying to make more of an effort after watching you. Sometimes I'm just not in the right mindset especially if I'm feeling low then I always tend to go with too many carbs 😕 which are my downfall really. Anyway, I'm glad I've found your channel. Sorry for rambling xx

[@ViperBurlesque]

Omg I have everything to make the stroganoff except pasta! Might pick up a little bag and make it tomorrow 🤩

[@kitchenlife1516]

I’m impressed with how round your tortillas are! Mine are always so randomly shaped!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

As long as they taste good!

[@lurleanhunt9335]

I love lentil soup for breakfast too!!!

[@coletownsend4961]

Love your channel… thank you!

[@DitloNio]

Hey, Sarah! Love your content! Always excited to watch ‘em! 😁

[@animalandnatureconnect7717]

Stroganoff. Yay! Thank you for this recipe. I can make this in Sri Lanka.❤

[@JRL03]

So delicious looking! Thank you. 😊

[@MelAnnXoXo]

I'm making a veggie soup in my instant pot right now cuz of this video lol...... you're a cozy food enabler 🤣🤣💜💜

[@LeeLuvsTea]

Wow!! U r a true chef!! Those rolls look so perfect!!!

[@heidinoggle]

So many things to try in this video! Thank you :D

[@kerra7386]

Yay I love when you upload a video!!

[@bettycarmelly2075]

I would love to get the cornbread recipe. Thank you.
