“How do I cut the cheese?” 😂🙃 My fav cheese sauce is 50%carrots 50%potatos (steamed), onion, garlic and nutritional yeast to flavor! Add enough water to blend ;)
Thank you for making these videos!!! I look forward to everyone you put out! You guys really help me to stay focused on my vegan diet. It’s so hard to be surrounded by SAD eating people every single day and your videos remind me why I’m doing this. You guys are a joy to watch and very inspiring ❤️
Cheese was hard being from the Midwest but I moved to South Korea (which doesn't produce but only imports cheese so it was super expensive) and found I could live without. In America again now but I love a simple, clean, stretchy mozzarella I use on pizza or lasagna. Uses just cashews, water, acv, lemon juice, salt, and tapioca starch. It is so good and allows me to mostly avoid the processed vegan cheeses now.
I recently learned of food sensitivities I never knew I had and it's been challenging to find substitutes. I now cook for my family and then make myself something different since they aren't willing to go down that rabbit hole with me. I really appreciate the experimenting you guys have done to provide ideas to save me from having to eat packing peanuts for the rest of my life ❤️
Gonna have to order some of those Sun Warrior products. However the struggle to transition back to a wfpb lifestyle is ever so real. Specially when the family loves the animal products! Enjoyed the video! Thank you! God bless!
Whole food plant based for 2 years now. I find that Farro has a mouth feel of having butter or oil without the oil. It is a beautiful tasting grain. I use it in bowls with mushrooms, greens and a little homemade hummus. It is really good.
Almost anything can be veganized but can I make a confession? I've been vegan since 1990 but I have to say that I miss cottage cheese. I know it's not the healthiest but I'd love to find a delicious vegan version. I've tried making it myself- and I know that there are no commercial options out there. The problem with me is that I want it to taste EXACTLY as I remember it. I won't die it I never eat again but just had to make that confession. 😁
I'm in Europe and there are vegan soft cheeses available. Violife I believe it's called. The closest thing to cheese and they have different types. Soft cheeses too!
Me either. Nice way to not waste plastic baggies. My friend stores them in the freezer in the peel. I tried that once and I did not like it. She said pop them in micro 15 secs and the pop right out of the peel! 🤗💜🍌
Wonderful ideas! I have a friend who is moving vegan and getting healthier and are always asking me quesitons and eager to learn more. I told them abt your channel and am totally going to send them this vid!!
Great video. In My favorite kale salad I massage the chopped kale with avocado and lemon juice, if it’s for the base of a bowl I use sauerkraut with the avocado. Delicious
Absolutely fabulous video and a must watch for anyone going plant based. Have just shared it with a number of people who are just transitioning to this way of healthy eating. Thanks Guys love your channel and get super excited and get my self set up with yummy food and drink to enjoy the experience fully.
This video is so great!🍓🍓🍏🍏 A lot of what you said is “duh” for someone who has been doing vegan or vegetarian diet but it was really nice to see (not only great quality video) everything compiled into one easy comprehensible video. Thank you keep doing what you are doing!! PS Anyone else starving after watching this video?!
Beautiful video! Lots of great information! The colors in your videos are so vibrant! I have learned a ton from you two. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙋♀️🥗🌮🍓🥕🥔🍍🍌🍋🥑🥥🥦🍄🍜🍹
Great information ☺️ Have you guys tried the Free to eat brand of pastas? They have great lentil combo ones, butternut squash combo ones, cauliflower, kale etc... usually just three ingredients. What brand of nutritional yeast do you use?
How do you like monk fruit for sweetness I have tons of it and need to use it but also am working on cutting out cheese yogurt turkey chicken and fish and going plant based 100 percent along with hubby and 4 kids
Great video!! Great tips!! There is a lot of confusing information out there! There is a famous cardiologist making the rounds of the podcast circuit. He’s always harping on the dangers of plant lectins. I don’t know about you guys but I don’t by it. He always has something to sell too. Any thoughts on this?
A great video Erin & Dustin with vegan alternatives to animal products and the vegan versions taste better and guilt free. Love 🥰this video and love 💕💞all the family 👪and appreciate Dustin & Erin for making these videos.
Hi Erin- What supplements did you use for baby at 6 months plus for iron and d3 and ansi b12 and omega? Please let me know what you did. You spoke about it in the baby led weaning vid, but you weren't clear on which you use for him,
Love you guys so much! How about a med vegan swap? I have horrible migraine and my Doc just prescribed a once a month injection. Very scary stuff! Much Love XOXO
Great Video and fun ideas.! I went mostly vegan several years ago for my health.. I am unable do any Soy products. Soy doesn't work well for my body, I am also gluten free because of a severe sensitivity. Any ideas for someone who can't do Soy?
Did you have any digestive issues during the beginning of your transition? I notice it is something no one will discuss or will just make a blanket statement about it. I tend to freak out over the slightest stomach issue so I am trying to find some honesty in a vegan whole foods transition.
I already had digestive issues daily which were basically helped by going plant based. The one thing which tends to be common is that when you transition into eating more beans/chickpeas and a plant based diet as a whole, you naturally consume far more fibre than before. As a result you may experience bloating/gas until your gut gets used to it. One tip is cooking beans with 2/3 cloves of garlic but also start with small portions of beans to let your gut adjust. Oh and water, lots of water. I hope this helps!!
Introduce beans slowly ( even one teaspoon a day). Your body needs time to grow gut bacteria that is able to digest it. You should see a big improvement after 2 weeks and no gassiness after 6 weeks if you stick with it.
I really want to like Nutritional Yeast however the smell gets me every time and I can’t! Does the smell transfer onto/into your dish? Is there a specific brand?
“How do I cut the cheese?” 😂🙃
My fav cheese sauce is 50%carrots 50%potatos (steamed), onion, garlic and nutritional yeast to flavor! Add enough water to blend ;)
Hello. Quick question. Are the onions & garlic raw or cooked like a sauté? Thank you. 😃
I use onion powder and garlic powder

I absolutely love how you call them “upgrades”! Such an important and beautiful perspective ❤️
Whole food plant based for 2 years now. I find that Farro has a mouth feel of having butter or oil without the oil. It is a beautiful tasting grain. I use it in bowls with mushrooms, greens and a little homemade hummus. It is really good.
Once I switched to that lifestyle, whole foods plant-based it helped me with digestion and healing.
Great to hear that. I love eating whole foods plant based and never want to go back to animal products.

I saw a comment on another vegan you tube channel saying there is a vegan cottage cheese in the us. I’m in uk so don’t know where you get it from
I'm in Europe and there are vegan soft cheeses available. Violife I believe it's called. The closest thing to cheese and they have different types. Soft cheeses too!
I miss it too!
Didn’t know you could put bananas in the freezer without being sealed .. game changer :)
Me either. Nice way to not waste plastic baggies.
My friend stores them in the freezer in the peel. I tried that once and I did not like it. She said pop them in micro 15 secs and the pop right out of the peel! 🤗💜🍌
Recipes “to live for”. Love it.

Great advice.
Great information ☺️ Have you guys tried the Free to eat brand of pastas? They have great lentil combo ones, butternut squash combo ones, cauliflower, kale etc... usually just three ingredients. What brand of nutritional yeast do you use?
We will have to try that brand! We use Sari nutritional yeast…it’s linked on our Amazon store in the description!
How do you like monk fruit for sweetness I have tons of it and need to use it but also am working on cutting out cheese yogurt turkey chicken and fish and going plant based 100 percent along with hubby and 4 kids
This video was sooo helpful!! I'm trying to go vegan and really appreciate your videos so much!! Thank you for all you do ❤
Great content. Thk u
The bad thing about coconut anything is it has saturated fats.
Great video!! Great tips!! There is a lot of confusing information out there! There is a famous cardiologist making the rounds of the podcast circuit. He’s always harping on the dangers of plant lectins. I don’t know about you guys but I don’t by it. He always has something to sell too. Any thoughts on this?
I want the recipe for that red lentil dish please!!

Hi Erin-

I love the video! What brand of plant-milk is your favorite?
Love you guys so much! How about a med vegan swap? I have horrible migraine and my Doc just prescribed a once a month injection. Very scary stuff! Much Love XOXO

I am new to this way of eating and have been avoiding beans so thanks for the tip to start slow. Bought some cans today so will def try
What brand are the buns in the thumbnail? Thank you Dusty or Erin!
I LOVE beans. They just make me so gassy even if I've soaked and rinsed them overnight.
Introduce beans slowly ( even one teaspoon a day). Your body needs time to grow gut bacteria that is able to digest it. You should see a big improvement after 2 weeks and no gassiness after 6 weeks if you stick with it.
Try the green ones,those don't have gas
I really want to like Nutritional Yeast however the smell gets me every time and I can’t! Does the smell transfer onto/into your dish? Is there a specific brand?
We only ever use Sari bc it’s unfortified!
😍

😋🍽👌🏻💕
Where can I find a vegan girlfriend?
