The difference between Bircher muesli and overnight oats is the ratio of fruit and oats, Bircher muesli has more fruit to oat ratio, it was originally made with a grated apple and often has added nuts, seeds and raisins. Overnight oats has more oats and chia seeds than fruit. Bircher muesli is originally from Switzerland. 💗

@MadeleineOlivia Год назад

Thank you!

@numivis7807 Год назад

I thought the difference is that bircher is made with yoghurt while oats are cooked with water or milk?

@beatrizcardoso5800 Год назад

@@numivis7807 I think both contain yogurt and milk if it is to put in the fridge overnight (when looking for a thick consistency) overnight oats don’t necessarily need to have yogurt because they already have the chia seeds that absorb the liquid so that the consistency isn’t liquid. But you can honestly make them the way you want because of how versatile and delicious they are 😊

@SpaceyStacy74 Год назад

Yes, I have been making the apple version for years and it’s the only way I can eat oats because it’s so much less paste-like.

@iktstudentin Год назад

Greatings from Switzerland, the land of Bircher Müesli ☺️

@auberquine Год назад

Bircher Muesli is Swiss actually! A Swiss doctor invented it and it typically contains grated apples,whereas overnight oats doesn't. Greetings from Switzerland :D

@onetallsunflower Год назад

Oh Maddie, you’ve inspired me to get things going for my garden this year! 😊 Could we ask Alex if he would let the funny, quirky text inserts stay on the screen for just a few seconds longer? Just a tad…I can’t read some of them so fast! 😅😂

@chloedouglass Год назад

Loving the gardening content! I have some bits of advice for your seeds 😊 once the seeds have germinated I would take the plastic lid off, as this will contribute to them getting leggy. They are also leaning a bit because they are reaching for the light so I would turn them around every day to help keep them a bit straighter. Also, if you want to grow dahlias I would recommend buying them as tubers and not seeds, they are a quite a tricky thing to grow from seed and probably won’t flower until next year. If you grow them from the tubers you will be able to enjoy the flowers this year. Same for the alliums, you may want to grow these from bulb instead of seed. I hope this helps ☺️ Happy growing 🌿 there really is nothing better!

@crnnstck Год назад

Hey there, great advice, thank you 👍🏼 just one question: I have three rows of different vegs, two have germinated, one hasn’t. Do I take the lid of or leave it on?

@thefarmerswifecanada Год назад

For your plant starts, they are reaching for the light. It would be helpful to have an overhead grow light, brought close to the plants. Or a south facing window is best. Your beds are looking great!

@Wheezywatches Год назад

My ADHD brain looked at that garden and thought, shew! That would be a total paralysis until there was a hyper fixation burst for me. You guys did great! Huw Richard is a great resource for planning a garden,calls grow veg on RU-vid,they actually have a planner you can get.

@addamhewitt Год назад

Got my 1st allotment back in November. It's taken a lot of hard work, but it's well worth it. To have your own allotment in you back garden, is amazing and so helpful, because you don't need to travel anywhere, to do a bit of maintenance

@k-aleidoscope4355 Год назад

I'm from Germany and I think Birch(er) Müsli is from Switzerland. We always used to grate an apple in the yogurt & oatmix and it also had mashed bananas and sometimes even oranges in it! It's delicious. You should definitely try the "traditional" version and see if you like it! I always have it without raisins, but you could put them in, too ! Best wishes from Scotland

@MadeleineOlivia Год назад

Will do that next time as this sounds perfect!

@gabrielle5715 Год назад

When the sprouts are out of the seed, dont cover them so they dont get mold :) So excited for your garden!!

@fraugray Год назад

Such a nice video - I love your kitchen 🤩

@meiramerz9269 Год назад

Baths are fantastic. I love a good wind down with an epsome salt, essential oil, mustard powder soak, a cuppa and a movie. I typically follow up with a good body scrub. Between your tub, plants in the window, candles and tray, your bath looks heavenly. Happy Hydro Therapy!

@Gangelizedtreasures Год назад

I think I’m going to make a Sunday, as my daughter calls it, “a big girl bath” a part of my weekly routine too. I definitely need more self care in my week. Thanks for the idea. Great video. I am wanting & needing to get back to eating vegan & you’ve helped me realize it’s not that much work. Thanks!!

@stacesprinkle7822 Год назад

Rice flour on the tofu is really nice too. Crisps up in the air fryer nicely.

@stephanieloffler8566 Год назад

I really like the little notes Alex ist adding while editing. They make me smile. Regarding hair: I fully understand that Alex is preferring short - really suits him well! When I am making Bircher Müsli I only use milk and a grated apple as liquid. It is pretty thick and "heavy" then. Adding yoghurt might make it creamy and lighter. Regards from Germany Stephanie

@stefaniegalea6810 Год назад

Had a delivery from BOODY this morning. I am soooo pleased with my underwear. Thanks for the recommendation. I always struggle with comfy underwear as I have a small waste but big hips. Its vegan, ethically made and sooo comfy. Thanks Madeleine. ❤

@Greeningermany Год назад

So happy to see that you are well on the road to recovery. The garden is coming along a treat, congratulations on so much accomplished!! I am a terrible patient when I am sick, I feel so anxious because I am trying to get back on my feet too fast after being injured or sick. I am presently a little poorly, after having Covid over Christmas, I seem to catch everything. So your lovely vlog is perfect while I am home ill from work and tucked up in bed ready to have a much needed nap. You have such lovely soothing content, so kind and genuine. Thanks and cheers!!

@crnnstck Год назад

Alex would look amazing with long hair 👍🏼🎉

@itchystitchy Год назад

I love a weekly bath. 🙂 I've been trying to use up all the food in the pantry and fridge as well....can't be bothered to go to the store. It is satifsying.

@Retro-love- Год назад

Yes long hair for Alex 😅 and peanut butter on toast is divine especially on Alex’s bread toasted it would be soooo good. It’s yummy when it melts a little too on the hot toast

@RillaG Год назад

I'm allergic to soy now, but when I was a kid my mom used to coat tofu with nutritional yeast and spike seasoning (basically a mixed herb spice if you don't have it there) and fry it in a pan with non-stick spray till it got crispy on the outside. So simple and so delicious.

@susiemartin3144 Год назад

Gardens are always a mess at this time of year. Just skim off the grass like turf and put it upside down on the compost heap. Add some new soil improver and compost /topsoil on top to get the worms going. Then next autumn cover the beds over winter to keep the weeds at bay. It’s disheartening when it’s wet and cold but it will soon cheer up! Xxx keep going

@davidthescottishvegan Год назад

Love 🥰 the vlog Madeleine and seeing the progress in the garden. It's going to be great when you harvest and eat the vegetables. I am soon going to be doing some outdoor sowing and presently have leeks growing in my hydroponic system. Happy it’s spring and gardening season. Love 💕❤Madeleine and Alex.

@sarahedgar8812 Год назад

I agree with the other comments about Bircher muesli having grated apple, but also yoghurt! The result tastes quite different to overnight oats actually. I love them both though! I'm quite jealous of your lovely bath scene by candlelight. We are yet to install a bath in our current house. One day!

@emv188 Год назад

@KWilliams22 Год назад

It is confusing 😂 there's so many different mothers day around the world...I think the most common one is the 2nd Sunday in May. Thankfully we only need to remember 1 date depending on our mothers nationality/location 😊 (unless we have other mother figures we celebrate of course)

Hoping your feeling better Maddie.Its tuk.Had it and needed medication. Take care and don't rush thinking your better.,,

@lanataylor5136 Год назад

How lovely are you, al and your dad working together, it will make you fall back in love with your garden with each little sprout to full grown plant, flower, fruit and vegetable! I think you should find a area for wild flowering, it will help your garden along and bring a big smile later this summer, so simple, remember no more for may!

@lanataylor5136 Год назад

No mow!!! Not more...

@patriciaelmore6255 Год назад

What a lovely garden area that you have. Advise about starting out gardening would be start small because it can become very overwhelming as the season goes on and invest in some inexpensive grow lights so seedling will be strong and healthy. Good luck. Wishing you much success!

@cathylynnpietranton Год назад

Maddie it's always a treat when you put up a video. We enjoyed ❤❤❤

@jessicasinclair1547 Год назад

You absolutely can roast frozen broccoli....do it all the time. Won't be nearly as crispy, but works fine.

@lauraveal6624 Год назад

@misspepe7416 Год назад

I recently heard the tip to not salt things (plants) before putting them in the oven or roasting them because the salt draws out the moisture of the veggie so if you salt it later (after the oven) it gets crosser in the oven. If that's the right word, not my first language.

@stacesprinkle7822 Год назад

Yes! Grow the hair 🥰 my husband grew his out. It’s lovely. We both have wavy hair past our shoulders.

@rebeccatheis3188 Год назад

Put a fan near your seedlings…the breeze will make them strong.

@miajoyce11 Год назад

Unless you are wanting to do massive canning freezing and dehydration-I would plant the last four beds in flowers for a cut garden. Clematis vines would be beautiful in the last two beds. If you are not ready to decide this year.-cover in cardboard like you did on the others to keep weeds from growing. Good luck.

@loredepalo4080 Год назад

Yes, long hair for Alex

@OMGitsaClaire Год назад

The reason the seedlings are stretched is probably to do with light. It might also be to do with airflow. Once most of your seedlings are up, take off the dome and run a fan on a low setting in the room. The airflow will help thicken the stems a bit. Or alternately you could gently run your hands over them several times a day. Plants need resistance to develop strength. I would also give a very dilute water soluble fertilizer once they start getting their first sets of true leaves.

@oceanbreeze9248 Год назад

"Bircher Müesli" is actually from Switzerland, if I'm not mistaken. My mum used to put berry yoghurt in a large bowl, then she added oats, finely chopped hazelnuts, and a variety of bite sized fruit (bananas, apples, oranges, berries, kiwis, nectarines etc. Whatever she had on hand 🍇🍊🍌🍎🍓🌰🍐🍒 Sometimes we decorated the large bowl with sweet cream befor putting it on the table 🤗

@carlienvandernet7902 Год назад

I am the same with weekends. Don't like just sitting watching television and feel should be doing something. Unless u are like u say intending on having a cosy television day. I find going for a walk first thing stops me slumping in front of TV feeling unmotivated x

@phillippinter7518 Год назад

You could always use peanut butter for salad dressing or pasta or dipping sauce

@charleylouise3900 Год назад

With your garden - it is a lot of beds to maintain. I wondered if you’d looked into low maintenance/perennial plants to take some of the pressure off? For example, asparagus (depending on whether you buy seeds/crowns) can take 3yrs to crop but goes forever. rhubarb and purple sprouting broccoli also take time to produce (a year I think) but in doing so will last a while. You may need to net them to protect from bugs but it might be a good option to help with busy lives? I know in the veg in one bed book there’s a low maintenance garden bed idea that may be helpful for you.

@amorfatiloveyourfate Год назад

I live in a mountain town, and I was recently talking to an avid Gardner who moved here a few years ago. She told me that after trying multiple times, she's finally resigned to the fact that you can't plant a garden here until June. That's always when I plant, just because I'm kind of lazy. Didn't know I was accidentally on to something. I am jealous of your long growing season though

@poolfield2 Год назад

To make it easier to keep the raised beds weed free could you put cardboard and woodchips on the pathways between? I have found it easier to keep than mowing grass between.

@cindyreid3788 Год назад

Your seed trays look great. You do need a grow light for them though, they are getting leggy reaching for the light. No need to put them in bigger pots at the moment, just more light. And a fan in them to make them strong. You're going great. Keep going and you will have a lovely productive garden before you know it.

@sevenkidsandcrazy5524 Год назад

We started to grow fruit and veg in 2020 as home learning for the kids and we're now hooked! It's a lot of trial and error though. I've recently found a good RU-vid channel called Emma's allotment diaries, she's great for lots of tips and inspiration.

@Britbabe53 Год назад

If you want to learn a LOT about planting and maintaining your plants, I highly suggest you follow Garden Answer on RU-vid. She is in the U.S. in a zone 6 but always gives corresponding advice. She is planting all of her seeds these past few weeks and the tips are invaluable. Such as, once your seedlings get a bit leggy, put a mild fan on them for a few hours a day to strengthen them. You can take the cover off once they sprout.

I'm not sure if your plant roots will be able to get through the cardboard. It should have been put on last year so that it had time to rot over winter. Better to just dig out the weeds and keep up with weeding during the summer.
