I agree - I do better in a regular restaurant than I do in a vegan restaurant.

Hi Tami - you look wonderful - love your haircut.

Wow! Such great ideas! Thank you very much.

Doug Evans has a recipe for making sauerkraut without salt using celery juice. I haven't tried it yet.

oat groat risotto!!

I’ve found they tend to schedule colonoscopy appointments early because they think you can’t go that long without eating - but if that’s not an issue for you get it scheduled for early afternoon & you’ll get a better night’s sleep!

Can you use parchment paper in the basket to make cleaning easier?

Cool. What pressure level do you use?

SOOO convenient.. can't help but wonder if silicone is being leached into food though... glass is safer option but a complete pain to defrost and get the soup out...

Thank you for the tip about freezing the sprouted oats. I didn’t realize they could go rancid. I keep mine on the counter and it takes me quite a while to use the whole bag.

I attended my niece’s formal, black tie, wedding in NY this past weekend. Invitation said dietary needs can be accommodated. I called a week prior. Spoke to the manager. He assured me they would make me anything I want. Just let the server know. The morning of the wedding I went to the reception hall with my sister to leave her car there. Saw the manager. He again assured me no problem. Tell the server what I want. That evening, the server took orders. Said she would come back to talk to me. She never did. She brought me a plate of oil soaked onions, red and green peppers. I had to ask her to bring me a potato, pasta, rice. Anything. She brought me a small serving of rice that was salty. I have another wedding next month. This time I’m bringing my own food to the reception.

Hello from the Oregon coast.

Broccoli cheese soup

I am watching a recording and enjoying it! Tami you are so informative. Thank you

I’ve had 3 colonoscopies now (I’m 48 but my family has a history of colon cancer on my dad’s side). I have been lucky so far and nothing found. Last one has been a while ago, I should follow up if I need another…feel like it was 2020. My gastroenterologist tells me to eat as per usual up to 24 hours before, and then I can only have clear fluids like broth…plus the prep.

I do Pilates reformer classes also, and there are usually 1-2 guys in the class of 6. My location has a lot of people over 50. It helped me a lot after a whiplash injury, combined with Physical Therapy (not in place of it). Many PT clinics are incorporating Pilates to get people started on a routine, then have them transition to a community-based class or private sessions once symptoms are resolved or manageable.

Oat groat risotto please

Dang…I want the recipe for the granola!….I was looking for it in show notes when Tom burst my bubble. 😢😅

Im 66 and have owned a Pilates Reformer for well over two decades and do it almost every single day , I love it

Oh I love Kathy! I love how she's so down to earth, not a perfectionist and just goes with the flow. She just seems so genuine and has a great way of explanaing things - tools, recipes etc! Thanks for having her on your channel.

I had the test on 9/11, still had to drink the liquid from the gallon jug. Aweful..

Your hair looks great ! Great video as always! This is Anne-Marie from province of Quebec, Canada.

This was fantastic- thank you both for a great hour of updates, Q&A, and for creating these new recipes!!! They ALL sound amazing! I vote for the soup! :)

I’m on a 5- year schedule for colonoscopy. The first one I had 2, 5 years later had 1, and my past one I had zero! He still wanted to see me in 5 years so I’m due next year. I attribute the improvement to my vegan diet and he agrees.

What helped me out of pain was a Chiropractor, hot pad and I went to the steam room at 24hr fitness,. Always try Chiropractor before surgery.

Tami- you look FABULOUS!!

But it has taken you years to get here

Hello from West Virginia

Thanks for your comments on the chips. I must admit that i usually put about a kilo of potatoes in for hubby and I and we eat them all. After watching this video, I think I need to section off just the same amount I'd eat as a baked potato, which is probably less than half of that. Much appreciate your work.

Yay for this content! Thank you! Where are you eating out now that Zest is closed?

HI! I so enjoyed this grocery haul. It feels like it has been a long time since I was watching you from your kitchen! I know your busy and have a lot of things on the go, but I miss the live chats where you answered questions, explained a facet of going/being plant based etc. I know you are probably tire of those type of vids but I loved them. Regardless I will watch any videos you put out. Thanks for all the hard work you both do, it helps keep me on track and I like feeling like a part of likeminded group.

Thank you, I just started trying tofu and it was helpful to know Costco has it at a great price. Would love to see some of your tofu and tempeh recipes

You are so lucky to get so many organic vegetables and fruits at Costco. In Canada we only get a few organic ones

Great info. I always buy the tri-color bell peppers and freeze them. I dice half for sautéing and slice the other half for fajitas, works perfectly. Heading to your roasted garlic video now. Thanks.

Thanks so much for your grocery haul video! As always, fantastic video. So helpful. You and Tom are the best. Thank you!

This video has been so helpful for me. I am a starchaholic. Ive been eating way too much starch and not enough non-starchy veggies. I’ve been gaining weight. I have to turn it around!

I cook acorn squash like my mother did…..poke it several times, put on parchment lined pan….and put the WHOLE squash in the oven….60 min for 45=60 min. Much easier than cutting in half…..

Love seeing You both and I always enjoy your shopping hauls.

Good for us to see all this shopping. You van always get more at your Costco than me here at a small store in Georgetown, TX We’re happy to have one. They have a lot of I don’t go to Whole Foods very often. It is a little over an hour one way. I am interested in getting the burger you mentioned. I guess i need to go back to get the name. I was preparing our breakfast. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful you showed a picture of you, your mom, and son.

Tami are you still fat free?

I never get tired of watching your grocery hauls! I sure hope our Costco carries the organic canned pumpkin, that’s a great deal. It’s that time of year, I’ll be making some of your pumpkin recipes. They’re all delicious. Thanks. 😊

Just saw a great recipe for a salad dressing made with zucchini

Awesome video! Yes, I’d love to see you using your batch prepped foods made into meals. Thank you for what you do!

Great video! I would love to see some easy lunch box ideas you might put in your grandkids lunch boxes!

I would love to see you make something!!

@tami turn the jar of peanut butter upside down over night then mix. Works perfectly.

Love your comment re the plastic police - it’s not just in Northern California where most things,organic or not, are sold in plastic. I live in regional Victoria, Australia where most of the fruit and vegetables sold in supermarkets come in plastic. It’s the same when we are in England - plastic is everywhere

You said you freeze the squash - do you take it out of the package or just freeze it as is?

It’s pumpkin season! Go buy 2-3 pie pumpkins and roast and freeze in 1 cup servings! I was told that canned pumpkin is not really pumpkin but different squashes.
