They turned out good, you can use any corn bread mix but the extra sugar from the agave will help them turn a nice brown color. I saw some peoples didn't have that nice traditional cover.
I'm trying to go plant based but it's SO HARD! I want my health back and I do want to lose weight too. I just think it's much healthier. But going plant based has been very hard because I have to reprogram myself and I'm very overwhelmed. So, I'm looking for videos to see if I can develop some habits that can help me get started.
We eat them like breakfast sausage patties! We also add them to "sausage style" gravy. What do you meat "sliders"? I think of sliders as something that you eat on a bun like a burger.
Not to be argumentative, but used to eat sausage patties all the time growing up. You can buy breakfast links or patties at the grocery store. They use sausage patties on breakfast biscuit sandwiches.
ALDI refused to sell Australian mini flags for Australia Day and I refusing to go to shop there again. As far as I am concerned they can pack and leave Australia immediately.
My husband's doctors told him, plant based. NO PROCESSED OILS, MEATS, MILK PRODUCTS, PRETEND PLANT-BASED PRODUCTS, NO PASTAS, BREAD PRODUCTS. IF IT DOES NOT GROW ON A TREE OR IN THE GROUND, IT IS NOT PLANT BASED, ITS PROCESSED BASED AND HE HAS TO STAY AWAY FROM. Its very hard to find true plant based recipes that are not processed based and have a good taste.
Does your husband have a serious medical condition? I have never heard of a doctor recommending such a diet. My recipes are for people who are just coming off of the standard American diet and want to eat a little healthier, they are for the beginner vegetarian or vegan or plant based, whatever you want to call it. It sounds like you are looking for something a little farther down the road. You could check into raw food recipes they are directly from the tree or ground or you could skip recipes all together and serve fruit salad for breakfast and vegetables for lunch. Would cooked beans be okay? They are somewhat processed.
@@SomethingBetterTogether we were vegans. The problem was we didn't stop processed oils, or pasta and breads or milk products. We thought plant based processed foods were healthy. We learned the hard way, science is showing vegans are dying at same rate as meat eaters because of eating those thing. A whole plant based diet, that DR. Greger talks about is best. Just having trouble finding recipes
I agree the Dr. Greger's daily dozen is probably the diet for optimal health. But most of the people I work with look at that and find it too hard or restrictive so I try to build a bridge by introducing those things slowly. Most doctors and dietitians agree that just getting people to eat 5-8 servings of vegetables or fruits everyday and add at least a cup of means will dramatically improve health even for meat eaters. The problem is a lot of people simple replace meats with processed fake meats and continue with their standard American junk food diet. I do use those things but sparingly and find better ways to replace meat and add in all of the good stuff. In several studies, including Dan Buettner's Blue Zone Study, he found that Seventh-day Adventists in America live 7 - 10 years longer than average Americans because of their health practices while still eating canned veggie meats and only about half of them are vegetarian so it apparently works. They not only eat healthy though, they had several other factors that contribute to their longevity like community, having a purpose in life and also their weekly Sabbath. Have you looked at www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/ or plantbasedcookingshow.com/. another favorite of mine is jenniferskitchen.com/. Here is one last obvious one that you have probably already seen. nutritionfacts.org/recipes/ I hope you can find what you are looking for!
Honestly, that picture was from my cookbook photo shoot so I had a food stylist and photographer to help. When I make it at home it looks a little sloppy when I cut it but, it tastes fantastic!!
Sorry your muffins didn’t turn out some muffins have a thicker batter than others. Here is my banana muffin recipe it is really easy and has a nice thick batter.
They are vegan brownies as a substitute for regular brownies, no dairy or eggs. I was not trying to substitute the chocolate but your could make a homemade carob brownie. Maybe I will make that recipe coming up.
A great trick I've learned for lasagna noodles is to soak the uncooked noodles for 20 minutes in hot tap water before using! It totally works every time!
I have never tried, but I don't know why it would not work. They may be a little heavier and calorie dense because almonds and coconuts have more fat that other flours.
@@SomethingBetterTogether can you make pancakes with those flour to c if it works.i never use those flours before. Plus Im not a pancake expert I now learning to use different flour.
Hi, great video! I clicked on your downloadable file to get the recipes. I was specifically excited for the Tofu Scramble seasoning mix recipe, but it's not in your downloadable PDF file as you said it is. Would you mind sharing it?
Sorry, I must have forgotten Scrambled Tofu Seasoning 2 cups nutritional yeast flakes 1 1/2 cups Chicken Style Seasoning (I use McKays) 2 3/4 tablespoons onion powder 2 3/4 tablespoons salt 2 teaspoons turmeric 1 Mix all ingredients in an airtight container. 2 Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of prepared seasoning mix to two packages (14-ounces) of tofu; cook according to the directions for Scrambled tofu. Makes 8 recipes of Scrambled Tofu.
What can we use in stead regular chicken bouillon if ur not completely vegetarian yet please 🙏 let me get used to this stuff first a little bit overwhelmed, but I’m trying keep posting please
Hi @dallissh2088 I am sorry you are feeling overwhelmed you have a couple of really good options when it comes to vegetarian "chicken" bouillon. In my tofu egg salad I use McKays Chicken Style Seasoning which is a powder. I tried to leave a link but it didn't work. Also Better Than Bouillon has a no chicken broth, it is found in most grocery stores near the soups. Every little bit you do gets you closer to your goals!! Thanks for watching!
@@SomethingBetterTogether well, if you always use your tofu right after you buy it you won't notice because it still fresh. But if you store it and you use it for next day you might notice it.
So curdled beans (that's what tofu is) isn't real food, but you probably think cheese, yoghurt, bacon etc.. (which requires more processing) is real food 😂 damn I feel sorry for your brain cells, they must be working over time😂 FYI tofu is an Asian cuisine and is roughly 2,000-years-old.
Why don't you like silken tofu? I do my Spätzle with it, Mousse au chocolat, Mapu Tofu, Shakshuka, Tamagoyaki, Cheesecake (the German one because well - I'm from the Spätzle-Land ;) ). I do of course love & cook firm & extra firm Tofu but there's always silken tofu in my fridge too
I do like silken tofu! I just don't like the "soft" refrigerated kind. I find it to soft and watery, mushy., I like the Mori-nu band silken tofu that comes in a aseptic package and I can store it in the pantry. It's good for more than 6 months and I can always have it on hand. Nut I would not be opposed to trying some of your recipes, maybe you could change my mind!!
Can you buy sugar snap peas for me? They are the worst ever. Most fresh produce I buy from Aldi don’t last long . Those from Costco is still good 1 week after BB
HaHa I could try, but Sugar Snap peas are hard to buy. Aldi's produce is usually good, but especially out of season produce goes bad more quickly. I don't typically buy produce as Costco I don't usually need as much as they make you buy and it is usually more expensive than at Meijer where I do most of my shopping.
To clarify the correct cooking term: The broth should be brought to a boil and then lower to simmer. Seitan is supposed to be simmered, not "Boiled" or it will become spongy. I've seen many on youtube interchanging these two terms. 185'F to low /2020'F a perfect simmer /22122'F a rolling boil.
Thanks for the clarification, but I do boil mine in this recipe. If I don’t it is gummy in the middle. When I make stakes or smaller sizes I do simmer but probably somewhere between a perfect simmer and a rolling boil. I have never checked the temperature.
I recently learned I have multiple food sensitivity issues and soy is one of them. I like the chickpea tofu for some things and the fava bean tofu for others. The chickpea tofu is quite firm, but softens nicely with cooking, like with a tofu parmigiana. I also make tofu cottage cheese with the chickpea tofu. I've made a tofu ricotta with the fava bean tofu to use in lasagna.
Great stuff! Such a shame the phytoestrogen in tofu is so maligned and yet the actual estrogen and BLV in dairy is completely ignored. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. I tend to use the two terms interchangeably when I chose a vegan diet the term plant-based didn't even exist. It wasn't until Forks Over Knives came out many years later that people started using the term plant-based. I choose my lifestyle mainly for health reasons but I do love the animals also.
Great video thank you. As someone with a family history of Cancer I find it upsetting how everyone worries about the (cancer fighting) phytoestrogen in soy but ignores the actual (cancer promoting) estrogen in dairy.
Except there are people on both sides that say the other causes cancer. There are many people thriving eating fully carnivore. So perhaps people should just eat what they want without worrying about what others do.
It's true that both meat-eating and vegetarian diets can be exposed to carcinogens (cancer-causing agents). That's simply the world we live in. However, there's a wealth of research demonstrating that a plant-based diet can help prevent and even reverse many lifestyle diseases. While a carnivore diet may be high in protein, it often lacks essential nutrients and can be very high in unhealthy fats and cholesterol. I believe everyone has the right to choose their diet. My aim is to simply help those who are interested in making a change and educate others who may not be aware of the potential benefits of a plant-based diet, such as improved well-being and longevity. Ultimately, it's a personal decision.
