Hey girl hey 👋🏾 I made the broccoli and cheese casserole and just came here to let you know that I finished the entire crockpot to myself in 3 days. With no shame, ate this for all 3 meals. Baby! Let me tell you. It was absolutely incredible!! Thank you . I added some things to the recipe to make it my own and wanted to share (: 1. I added potatoes to the casserole and not just the cheeze mix. I Skinned , Boiled them and added to the crockpot. 2. My broccoli was fresh, not frozen. 3. Instead of brown rice, I used quinoa 4. I added more seasonings to the cheeze sauce like garlic powder, onion powder , pepper & paprika (possibly more but can’t recall) 5. Once everything was added into the crockpot, I added the same additional seasonings. Those red pepper flakes you mentioned really makes a difference. This meal was hearty and bangingggggg!!!!! Thank you.
Woooo so so glad you enjoyed it! Love hearing you made it your own! Thank you so much for trying and I’m really happy you loved it so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I totally second that....there's not enough healthy tasty slow cooker vegan recipes. Lots of vegan recipes are hands on and during the week there's no time to cook and a slow cooker works great. Thanks for your recipes and efforts.
Making the creamy broccoli right now. I love how you leave so much space for us to tweak the seasonings! You give us a delicious, simple blueprint! I had all the ingredients and subbed the white beans for Pinto beans. Still super yummy!!! Thank you for inspiring me to make one of my FAVORITE DISHES
Thank you so much for these recipes. It is summer here in England and I use my slow cooker in the garage in the hottest days to avoid heating the house, because we don't have air conditioning.
All of your recipes and videos are so well done! And you are so pretty and have such a nice way of presenting everything. I really think your channel will continue to grow. Good luck!
I'm totally making both of these recipes! I am oil free so this is great and would love to see more😁 I'm going to order a slow cooker. Do you recommend a size and brand ? Thanks 🤗
Just made the Lentil Bolognese -- I added the uncooked pasta and some additional water in 45 minutes before it was done, and it all came together wonderfully as a one-pot meal! Thanks so much for the recipe! :)
We just got a croc pot yesterday, and I instantly looked up all your croc pot videos, hehe -- I am trying them all out over the next few weeks, starting with the broccoli casserole tonight! :)
@@PlantifullyBased the broccoli casserole was perfect -- we only had sushi rice on hand, but it turned out just fine (a bit firmer/sticker because of it).
Cooked both these recipes today, my broccoli cheese casserole turned out on the bland side, not sure what I did wrong. Loving the lentil bolognese though! You are awesome!
Glad you enjoyed the bolognese! Ahh yeah hmm maybe it just needed some extra seasoning in the broccoli casserole. Always incorporate any extra seasonings you like if you try it again :)
I really like that you offer different suggestions and that you make cooking easier! It's nice that you offer different substitutions and let people know they don't need put in stuff they might not like or have! Subscribing!! :)
aw thank you! yes I definitely want everyone to be able to make the meals with what they have :) following recipes doesn't always need to be so strict! happy to have you here
First vid I'm watching of yours, by the way I didn't know you existed, but now I do! Loving the videos and I will definitely watch the adds to support you!🥰❤️🥰❤️😍😍😍
i think the video is incredible! i would say one thing, for a video that is soy, gluten, nut and oil free, i would of used a natural syrup over a sugar, due to the damaging affects of sugar... i grew up in a multiultural, but mainly british-italian family, and i can promise that that switch will not compromise flavour, and to add that missing flavour of the olive oil, 1 mashed up green olive will cook into it like an anchovie but give that olive seasoning that all authentic sauces have. much love xx
Glad you enjoyed it! i just really did the soy nut and gluten to be allergy friendly because I get a lot of requests for that :) figured I would omit oil as well and if people wanted to ad it they easily could! Ah I am italian and I as much as I love maple syrup I don’t think I could put it in my pasta sauce but to each their own :) will try the olive trick!
Yo this is awesome thank you so much for these videos. Really helping me switch to Vegan. Going to Wegman’s soon to get these ingredients! Mouth watering lol
Today I tried the just egg brand I had heard it on one of your previous videos and tbh it had no major difference from regular egg made in an omelette! Thanks so much I’ll sure be trying these recipes too! Love the content 🤩
dorqian awww I’m sorry haha. You can make these without a slow cooker! I have a recipe for stove top lentil bolognese on my channel as for the casserole you can cook the rice on the stove and then assemble everything in a casserole dish and bake it at like 400F for 15-20 mins :)
hi! haha while I totally understand we all need to eat for our own lifestyles I am not gluten, salt, or oil free. I will put out recipes from time to time that are gluten and oil free or lighter in oil but that isn't my primary focus, I am sorry.
hmmm the first recipe turned out great for me! but the second one was total liquid. im not sure what went wrong, but im going to eat it as a soup lol. thanks for these recipes!!
Hi Brianna! I’m glad the bolognese worked. Hmmm for the broccoli one did you make any adjustments? It will thicken up as it cools down as well! But I hope you can enjoy it as a soup still! ❤️
Hi Francesca! Hope you had a fantastic holiday. I like slow cooker foods. I am just not crazy about premade pasta sauce, but I love the bolognese idea. I think on the weekend I am going to make a bunch of my own sauce and freeze it in two cup mason jars. That way I will always have it for nice recipes like this. I buy those giant bags of broccoli at Costco. Do you think two cups would do it? Or should I use more? Thanks and hugs and love to you! 💕💕🥰
hi Mary!! Happy 2020! Yeah I am very pick about the premade sauces I only have two I use everything else sucks haha especially when it is super overseasoned not a big fan. but homemade sauce would just make this even more delicious!!! this was around 5-6 cups of broccoli I would say. you could add as more as little as you like totally up to you!! Hope you are doing well and having a great week sending lots of love back xoxo
Plantifully Based thanks Francesca. Yeah the over seasoned sauce is nasty. It actually tastes like the sauce factory had 600 kilos of leftover stale basil and oregano and didn’t know what else to do with it, so the just tossed it into the vat of cheap tomatoes. And the guys doing the tossing, all dressed in white yelled “here you go, suckers. Cheers.”
thank you!! I am in the US (not sure where you are located) but the chickpea noodles are from the brand banza and I get them from either whole foods or stop and shop. the vegan cheese in this video was from whole foods :) the violife brand
I wish the instructions were written down. The Broccoli one is confusing. I cooked the potatoes. Did she mean for us to put the carrots and beans on the stove before putting in the blender?
hi friends!! sorry to be away for so long but I hope you enjoy these recipes! Also, if you don't feel like listening to all my blabbering in the beginning skip to 1:21 thank you so much for watching xo
thank you! I used violife cheddar from whole foods and follow your heart parmesan from whole foods but you also may be able to find them in bigger food stores like publix, stop and shop, kroger, sprouts etc depending on where you live :)
hi Stephanie, depending on size of your potato it could vary! i use a food scale for all my recipes so i may have just had a very large potato. this recipe is older so i can't quite remember now
Is there an alternative to the tomato paste? I have terrible IBS and the acidity in tomato when it's cooked absolutely kills me and I'm bed ridden for days. Please help!! Just got my own apartment and trying to learn to cook other things!
Hmmm because this is a tomato based sauce it’s kind of hard to eliminate the tomato aspect. My best suggestion would be maybe a roasted red pepper sauce if that is something your stomach can handle I know that can be iffy for people too. If regular tomato sauce is okay you can use that
@@PlantifullyBased Hi! Thank you for answering back so quickly! I am going to attempt to make a vegan Alfredo sauce on the side and add that instead of the tomato sauce. I'll let you know how it comes out!!! Thank you again!! Definitely going to try the other dish mentioned in the video!
@@PlantifullyBased yes, you did. It's been 4 hours and it's not ready. Maybe because I doubled the recipe... Maybe because it's the first time I'm using my new crockpot. Hmmmm I love how you respond to commentors My kids are excited to try it
@@PlantifullyBased ok now I can tell you what I did. I just wanted to taste it before reporting because I didn't do exactly what you did. I doubled the sauce, but I put in 1 bag of frozen broccoli and 1 bag of frozen cauliflower. I did not put in chili flakes like you did because only 2 of my kids like spicy food so I could just add to personal plates. Chili flakes certainly add that extra flavor. Otherwise, I think it just needs some added salt. It's a hit. Not all my kids tasted it yet because it took extra time to cook but so far, 3 of us really like it and I will be making it again. I might saute some onions to add on top for tonight's dinner. And yes, it really thickened up which i was worried about after the longer cooking time since after 5 hours it was still very liquidy.
Hi Rhonda. I’m so sorry to hear the lentils didn’t get soft. Did you cook it on high or low? I’m not entirely sure. I know it worked fine for me and for others. In the future (if you want to try again) maybe you can try soaking the lentils ahead of time or even cooking them part of the way on the stove. I cook lentils a lot on my slow cooker and never have a problem. Let me know if you cooked on low or high. I’m sorry!
Healthy fats are found in nuts, seeds, tahini, avocados and a whole bunch other places. If you don’t care about being oil free you can always add a bit of oil into these recipes but as long as you’re keeping variety in your meals you’re fine. I never said to not eat fats?
I’m sorry, I think it’s important to be kind. But the truth of this recipe is it’s not that good. I try to spice it up. I try to be creative but stick to the recipe in man this is tasteless mush.
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it. Thanks for the feedback. I’m assuming you are referring to the broccoli casserole? I know many others have made it enjoyed it but of course we all have our own preferences and taste buds. Thanks for trying it anyway :)
Add salt to taste... so that way you can do it to your preference 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 internet trolls. Also, yes if you use regular sodium broth and then add more salt you are adding more salt to the meal than you would with a low sodium vegetable broth and then adding more salt 🙄 no one is stopping you from loading up your dish with salt

the cooking time? and did she say to cook the gluten free pasta first?
Love these recipes babe! Congratulations on 20k. I'm so proud of you 😘😘😘
thank you boo! they were sooo good. thank you for always being here for me xo
That first dish looks good! If I want to cook the pasta in the crockpot, when should I add it? It wouldn't be gluten free btw
thank you so much!!! You can add it in the last 30-40 minutes of cooking :) and you may need to add in about 1/4 cup more of water.

Hi. Some great recipes here! Are the green lentils dry when added to the crockpot?
Thank you! Yes they are
Going to try both of these. Can you substitute the brown rice for other rice types? (Regular white rice, etc)
Hope you enjoy! Yeah sure white rice will probably have less cook time so just be sure to keep an eye on it and adjust accordingly
Are the lentils tender when they are done? Lentils don’t cook well in acidic environment but I guess the time forces them to break down??
They are completely cooked down and soft :)
I wish the instructions were written down. The Broccoli one is confusing. I cooked the potatoes. Did she mean for us to put the carrots and beans on the stove before putting in the blender?

Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen? If so do I have to change anything about how it's made? Thank you so much😊

The brain needs healthy fats. People who avoid them are at higher risk for dementia and mental health issues.
