I can’t thank you enough for this content, your candor about corn flakes (I used to be a bowl of corn flakes with sliced bananas, soy milk, and sugar girlie.), and the lovely harvest feast inspiration! ❤ Love & Light from Texas! ❤ Potato ANYTHING is my favorite dish. 😊😊😊

[@showmemovegan]

Thank you so much for the "super thanks"! That's really sweet of you, and it's my first one ☺🎉🎉🎉 Yes those cornflakes were tasty! It's so funny to me thinking back that I'd put sugar on top of all those already sugary cereals!🤦‍♀ Thanks again for your comment ❤

@@showmemovegan You’re welcome! Spreading the joy of this lifestyle is priceless.

[@MarianneHudgens-s6b]

Fantastic!

[@trunglemusic]

I hope there will more yt channels supporting whole food plant based recipes like yours. keep up the good work!!!

[@showmemovegan]

Thank you!

[@lesliejohnson4882]

Thanks for all the Thanksgiving suggestions! We’re going out of town for Thanksgiving but I’m going to try some of these for Christmas. I’ve been using your Mom’s bread recipe for a few months-I really like it-so easy, and the bread is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Usually I do a loaf but I may try the rolls. Take care.

[@showmemovegan]

Thanks for sharing! I'm so glad you like the bread recipe, I'll have to let my mom know!

[@tammyb4124]

I was excited to see the cheesy potatoes. I'll be making those.

[@showmemovegan]

I hope you enjoy!

[@craftoncue]

Hi Wendy. Everything looks so delicious and I intend to make each of the dishes over the coming weeks. On a different note, I have those exact same yellow Tupperware measuring cups that your mom has. Mine have been part of my kitchen for 40+ years and I use them daily. On the food front, I absolutely love your and your parents approach to plant based eating. Blessings, Linda

[@showmemovegan]

That's so funny! Yeah I think my mom has had those measuring cups longer than I've been alive, or at least as long as I can remember! Thanks for your comment and I hope you like the recipes!

You never have to buy salad dressing … use 3-2-1 dressings 3 tbLS balsamic vinegar 2 tbLS Dijon mustard 1 tblsp maple syrup… so 😋

[@showmemovegan]

That's almost exactly the same as the salad dressing we make!😊 But we also add lemon juice and use date sugar instead of maple syrup. So simple and delicious!

[@esthermontesdeoca3200]

Thank you! Love it n will try making most of them. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽

[@showmemovegan]

You're welcome! And Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi 👋 I we like you to make a video of you mom how long she been vegan? And if she heal any health conditions please thanks

[@showmemovegan]

My parents have eaten this way for about 3 years, and yes they had many great health benefits. I have mentioned bits and pieces of their story in some other videos, but I hope to do more videos with my mom, so I'll keep that in mind! I do have this video where I showed what my parents eat in a day that you might enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4qcdXZjdpV0jrc

Everything is brown...?

[@showmemovegan]

Yeah, it doesn't help that the toppings on the casseroles cover up all the colors.
