These short impromptu videos are done via Facebook LIVE and then uploaded to TH-cam. I do them occasionally before I cook a meal because many of you have asked me to. I do not have recipes for these because I am not using recipes, I make them up as I go along. I would like you to learn technique rather than recipes and enjoy the taste of simple, whole natural foods. If you have any leftover veggies or grains you can repurpose them and just add them as I did. And it all starts with an onion. And it's even good cold. Enjoy!!!
If you prefer written recipes I have 3 books you might enjoy.

I'm Chef AJ and I make healthy taste delicious.
Love & Kale,
Chef AJ
This woman is a wonderful human being not to mention being a great chef
Thank you ♥️
Yes she is. I loved Sparky. 🐶I've followed her since the dog whisperer
So true!!! Such a beautiful human being!!!!
Thank you always Chef AJ. You’ve simplified everything for us non-cooks. I’m down in Oz and we are blessed with great produce so I am able to follow your processes. Your book Secrets to UWL is such an eye opener. Need to make the trip to Vegas to meet you one day, son is in Santa Monica and he and family are all vegan, even my 1.5 year old grand daughter is a beautiful little vegan!
It’s so nice to see some one cooking in a REAL sized kitchen!!
I tried the veggie broth drink. "Pot liquor" unbelievably good. It is soooo calming. I love it. Thanks Chef AJ. Im a scheduled eater i have to evolve to eat when im hungry. I cant believe that is so hard. Its a mental exercise. .
I love that you say there is “no recipe.” Just adding all the vegetables and consuming nutrients is in itself the written word.
I am still in transition and love making one pot meals like this. Thank you!
Chef AJ that looks DELICIOUS! And because of that I’m going to try your veggies/greens for breakfast even though I’m an oatmeal for breakfast girl.
Yolanda Dunmore I love savory oats. Basically the type of breakfast Chef AJ made but with cooked oats instead of quinoa.
Kathy Richards I’ve never savory oats before. Ann Esselstyn has a savory oats recipe in “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” but I haven’t tried it. You’re the third person who stated they enjoy them. I’m open to giving them a try.
Thank you AJ.
I just bought your books.
No organic broth? . i might add hatch green chili to mine
OK I just added the onion and zucchini combo to my limited repertoire. I’m making more effort to get off salt and this was very 😋 yummy without.
Terrific!
CHEF AJbut isnt iodized salt essential for good thyroid function? ss iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism?
❤️❤️❤️Love you chef AJ! Thank you! Merci!
What is the round thing you have the ginger in?
Me too ! I have tried every diet out there
Can you tell me the type of pan that is? I don't have pots that saute well without liquids
I heard you say pampered chef. but i want to know the material that is safest and works best to saute
Is that a Teflon pan? Or is it a safe nonstick??
Real cooks don’t need a recipe. We can get the general idea on how to cook these meals from the videos. Thanks!!!
So true!
Brian The Cajun I’m a “real” cook and I like to use recipes. I’ve been cooking for 46 years.
AJ... you know they have this vegetarian salt made from vegetables... It's not a typical salt like you would normally use if no sodium salt but tastes like salt.... How about I could use those?
Tess S what is it called ?
@@CHEFAJ ...NO SALT original sodium-free salt alternative. 11 oz
New subscriber, today is my fourth 4 plant base diet. I add small oil and no salt seasoning from Costco. It’s okey to use no salt seasoning for now? I will stop using oil slowly maybe second week.
sure I recommend Benson's Table Tasty
Thank You Lord! For connecting me with this lady.😂
Thank you for verifying I can cook with water and don't have to use oil! This shocks my friends!
It's so simple, right? You don't really taste the oil anyway and besides from being unhealthy it adds a lot of extra calories.
@@CHEFAJ You've taught us so many life saving tricks, thank you! I don't miss oil because you're right, you don't really taste it. It just harms your arteries needlessly. 🧡
AJ, this is similar to what we do, just look in the fridge, see what there is and cook it up just like you have here. Tasty, healthy and filling.....all without a book! I love this way of cooking.
AJ, you are correct! Everything I cook does start with an onion!
Gonna have to figure out something besides onion, don't like them and definitely am not supposed to have raw...
If I wait until I’m hungry, then I make something that doesn’t take long to make ie chop veggies. If I make something when not hungry, then I also don’t eat as much and may have left overs. I also hate when I’m hungry at night.
I LOVE it.... *you don't have to like it... just DO IT!*... Perfect.. We can learn to like things. ; )
:)
Thank you for this great meal. Thanks also for all of your hard work and the time you spend with us. I loved your webinar. I love it.
I love how friendly and kind you are . Do I just start picking something you made and make it
Thank you
My cat is watching this, absolutely mesmerised :)
Smart kitty
So love your style and outlook on life Chef AJ, thank you for all that you do for us and slowly but surely, eventually, we'll be as healthy and intelligent as your are! Thumbs up, thank you for sharing this glimpse into your cooking and greetings to your hubby Charles, Bailey pup and you from us here in Querétaro, Mexico! :)
I love your little phrases and mnemonic devices... I have in my brain for my shopping today "OMG", onion, mushroom, greens- I hope I got that right! I also love, "If it's in your house, it's in your mouth." Like the Frito's I keep trying to avoid! Thank you Chef AJ!
“Hunger is the best sauce. Food actually tastes good when you’re hungry, even vegetables.” (At 1:36)
I love the way you make things so simple, Chef AJ. I was re-watching your 'meals to make you slim' video last night. I had forgotten how easy it should be: eating from the 'plant plate' of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes. Water. Unprocessed herbs and spices. And eating - if possible - within a window of time. I am now visualising the plant plate and asking myself if the food or drink I want to consume fits into one of the four quadrants, or into the drink category. This video is another example of how easy food can be. I'm glad you posted it because I was wondering how to fit in a kilo of green veg per day and at least 500 grams for breakfast! Thank you.
Chef AJ, Thank you! I learned about you through the iThrive Docuseries. I am so grateful. I've been working to do plant based whole foods for over a year but struggled to make them interesting for my husband and family. The big question: How do we eat without salt, oil or sugar and make the nutrient rich foods appealing in our culture? You are a God Send. ABUNDANT BLESSINGS TO YOU, Chef AJ!! You are helping me to turnaround, do my part to save my family and give them a healthy legacy. YOU LOOK AWESOME!! I REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE IN YOUR EARLY 30's!! The most important part is that you are healthy, happy, strong. Thank you!! WE ARE GRATEFUL GRATEFUL GRATEFUL. MANY HUGS AND BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!
Dr McDougall says u can salt the surface of your food & put 1-2 tsp of sugar on top oatmeal or in coffee. Absolutely NO OIL.
Thank you, Chef AJ, for giving me an alternative to oatmeal for breakfast...Oatmeal never satisfies me for breakfast! This looks yummy!
Melissa Mushlin I make one serving of old fashioned oatmeal not the one minute. When its done I add ½ to 1 cup of blueberries. That makes a difference.
I love oatmeal but it makes me sleepy & as Melissa says, never leaves me satisfied. I eat later, like Chef AJ, and have a green smoothie then a huge green salad a couple of hours later. Works for me.
@@katkatmi plentiful kiki on youtube eats greens like cabbage before oatmea n berries her husban n kids w also have a green smoothie if their still hungry.
Hello. I love your videos. I lost so much weight, then I relapsed when I got comfortable. This time will be different because I know what works for me. You, lol
Sista Doll how’s it goin?
@@GrilledTofu Hope you're doing well!
God bless you for all your hard work and great knowledge. My life is forever changed 💕💕👍
Great ideas and recipes but you need to switch out that Teflon pan for cast iron or stainless steel.
Thank you for this great meal. Thanks also for all of your hard work and the time you spend with us. I loved your webinar. I love it.
I love this, simple and no fat added, magnificent,
I feel inspired I have been fat my whole life I actually want to lose weight for good!
I'm Jennifer Munselle Sparks message me on face book . I've just started too. But I understand it. I would love to have a buddy. I did lose 40lbs about 5years ago. I'd love to help.
Please consider trying my program for 2 weeks for free feelfabulousoverforty.com/register/
Where did you get that pan and how much is it? PS I just wanted to let you know but after watching your videos I am not sauteing with butter and oils the way I used to... I tried to use chicken stock when I saute for now on
so basically, its common sense and a little bit of imagination and anyone can create delicious meals the same way. your videos are awesome
Thank you
I tell people about you and your books all the time in Maine!!
Victoria Purdum I tell all my friends in Montreal😀 I love her books she is the greatest
How kind! Thank you!
Thank you!
AJ you are life changing, life giving, inspirational- deep appreciation for your contribution to my health &wellbeingx
So happy to hear! Thank you.
Im getting the impression that dr Gregor is saying eat early and intermittent fasting to keep the bulk of eating done early in day
I like that you acknowledge that Breakfast is "breaking a fast". Most days, I am not hungry before 10am or 2pm.
Hey chef AJ! You mentioned asthma...I just read a book by Dr. Wright called Why Stomach Acid is Good for You where he talks about a connection between asthma+ low stomach acid. Crazy, huh??!! (Lots of diseases are related to low stomach acid. (Sadly, it looks like a boatload of us are being prescribed acid blockers when we in fact have LOW stomach acid.) Much love from Connecticut. 💕
So true! As we age stomach acid production naturally diminishes. Have you read about straight celery juice? 16oz of straight celery juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach has worked wonders for many people! Look it up and check it out! 😁
Also those with type A blood have lower stomach acid than other types
Low Iodine, I take Iodoral 12.5 tabs, it's s game changer; only avail online
99 cent store often has great produce and frozen mango puree for so cheap. I love that you mentioned that!
Yep, just eat the foods. Recipes take too much time.
My husband and I make that and call it our veggie hash.
Great!

Good for you
I love watching your videos, chef AJ, but it would be so helpful if you used a microphone. We would be able to hear so much better. Please consider it. Thanks
When I have no one hears better
I love watching you cook! I am so happy you are doing more cooking demos
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you. I could watching you cook is helping to heal my junk-food addled brain. I can't get enough!
NOT eating junk will heal it faster!
I have been following a whole foods, plant based diet since May 17, 2018 and have already lost 28 pounds. So my body is healing from the whole food, my brain is healing with the help of positive, informative people like you! Thank you, AJ!
Where do you get your shredded cabbage?
I just found your videos and put my bag of chips back in the kitchen
I'm wondering why you have asthma? With all the healthy eating I would've thought that these types of diseases would be healed? Thanks for your answer!
It’s all chemicals and oil not a fan of fake food. I prefer Benson’s table tasty it’s all herbs
Hi this is Irene McColl, I just started the vegan food so it is nice to see what you eat. I love vegan food.
Looks delicious 😋🤤. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
I didn't know exercise has been shown to rewire the brain to help with addiction. That's fascinating.
Don't know when I became vegan, but probably after one of your videos!
Thank you for showing us its ok to cook like this.
I just subscribed and I noticed on a lot of your videos you mention IBS. I have had issues with IBS-D for years. It is diet and stress related. Just recently I have had a major flare up. I haven’t had anything like this in years. I am trying to find what I can eat that won’t keep it going. Initially I did the BRAT diet, but don’t want to keep doing that. I need more nutrition. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Thank you for these videos, they are so helpful 🙂
My Pleasure
Check out carcinogenic non stick pans and eat organic alkaline raw foods as much as you can and wish!
I've always been struck by the way the western world feels the need to use a pint of oil or a couple of sticks of butter (butter..and more butter) just to get the onions done... how thoroughly refreshing to find a chef that challenges that unhealthy convention, and makes things simple, tasty and inspiring.
I so agree! All you need is a little broth or water and you can't tell the difference 😊
Loved food shopping at 99 Cent Store when living in California, but beware of produce grown in Mexico- they use pesticides banned in U.S. Good luck finding a good avocado in the Midwest- even when under-ripe, they rot before they're edible. And Trader Joe's are only in the wealthy areas of town.
I think your stomach must be pretty strong if you can eat a lot of onions, garlic and cabbage! I don't have IBS, but too much onion and garlic are hard on my stomach unfortunately.
Just found you and am truly enjoying your videos! Already bought your cookbook to help me continue my weight-loss.
Thanks for showing how to carmelize onions oil free I was adding too much water from the start. Great video there is so much familiarity with me in what you say. ❤️ u
Glad it was helpful!
If you have digestion problems, have you tried doing celery juice to break your fast everyday, before food? It will cure that problem.
thank u for being here
just started my journey
Cindy🙋
Love you food
Thank you I been eating the 2 pounds of Vegetables a day and I feel full.🤗😁
Every video is a gift. Thank you.
Thank you!
I’ll be right over!
Thank you, it was still nice to see, even if it seems really basic :)
I love how you say look I'm not following a recipe and I'm not worrying about one bean over another either! Seeing how you cook reminds me of a painting....you just have to feel it and flow. It seems like if you just focus on whole plant foods...you're good!
Thank you!!
"That's majoring in minor things" ☺️ This meal was gorgeous! 💗🙏🌺
Thanks for the breakfast ideas 🥦🥒🥕🍆🌶
of course
Veggie stir-fry like this is how my dad reversed his pre-diabetic condition. I think used the South Beach diet
I’m allergic to onions, which sucks because I love onions. 😞. I’m praying by eating the starch solution way it will reverse my food allergies.
Love all this advice and yes I am learning to use just the food and not spending hours In the kitchen working on recipes xx
Literally 10 minutes of watching onions sauté. 🙄
Try another site to watch...
You book title. (QUEEN ONION) you are absolutely right ,onions make everything taste better😍
Not only does healthy eating make you healthy but it's the best beauty routine! My skin and energy levels are amazing again! Thanks for your videos. Saw you on forks over knives and jumped as sub. Have a very "green" day! 🥦🍓🍏🥕 p.s....I've always been a savory breakfast eater too!
Hi Chef AJ. I understand the concept of not eating breakfast until one gets hungry, however, this is difficult to do for the average working person. We usually have to be at work by a certain time and have a scheduled lunch hour and must wait to eat until this schedule permits. So if I didn’t eat my breakfast before work, I may not get a chance to eat until my lunch hour and by that time I feel weak and ravenous if I haven’t eaten breakfast. So the concept May work for those who work from home or who are retired but not for the rest of us.
Everyone has to adapt to their own situation and their own needs. In certain workplaces, I would have snacks or even breakfast when I needed, regardless of what my coworkers were doing. I needed to do what I needed to do to feel at my best, and that meant eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom when needed. No one ever questioned me about it. And if they did, I was prepared to say that I needed to make sure my blood sugar was stable and I was well hydrated. I know not everyone can do that, but everyone needs to work within the constraints they have. And at the same time, my boss or coworkers don't get to live in my shoes and deal with maintaining my health. I will be the one living in my own skin when my bosses or coworkers are long gone.
I was in same situation but just looked at it as a fast and after just a few days my body adjusted to not eating until 12-1 pm. That does fit with most peoples “lunch” hour but it is my first meal of day. I’ve been doing it for over a year and I’m not hungry until noon or so. I workout in the morning, cardio and weights, and work for a few hours before I ever eat. Just try it for a couple of days and see how it feels. If you make it past the first few days your body starts adjusting and you should be fine. Hope this helps. It worked for me.
Yes - baby steps can help to ease you in also, if intermittent fasting is something that will work. For the original poster - you could even eat earlier at night so there is a larger window before work the next morning. Also, you can play around with going for longer before you have to eat on your off days. For instance - Friday night stop eating around 7pm and then wait until 9am to eat (14 hour fast)...then increase to 10am on Sunday. You can play around with it on off days until you feel like you've mastered it - then try to incorporate into your week when you're feeling more confident. It does take getting used to. Even going one meal to another meal without snacking (and feeling weak) is something that I thought I never could do and I was able to do it! I am also impressed that I can intermittent fast for 16 hours. It gets easier as the diet gets more and more cleaned up. I would definitely start with whole, plant-based foods first and worry about intermittent fasting when you have things totally under control with what we're eating. Best wishes!
Absolutely amy I took for granted the whole food plant based. That’s the starting point for anyone. I’ve been doing this for just over a year and have lost 100lbs and got rid of most of my symptoms that I was experiencing. As it relates to intermittent fasting, for me, was less than 3 weeks in I had completely gotten over the cravings and that has helped with me not getting hungry in between meals. WFPB is really the answer.
It really is the answer, Phil!!! Great work! WOW!!!! It's so freeing to be able to eat vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains until satisfied!!!
I'm fairly new to plant-based eating for health reasons and always struggling with my weight and I'm finally tuning in. I love your approach, your way of interacting with the audience and your presentation you seem really down to earth and that's what I need. Thank you❤
Thank you!

Yes onions make food so tasty yummy delicious food 🥘 and veg too so awesome 😎
I really need this ladies help,I'm really needing to lose at least 30lbs in weight,been vegan for 11 months,we have such fabulous British vegan chefs over here on you tube,but I'm a very busy London mum,and I work long hours,and all the UK vegan chef recipes are way too long and fancy.Im binging on salty,fatty crap food,like peanuts and crisps(potatoe chips) This lady keeps it real, I need a book though,not an E book a paper book,to keep in my kitchen.Help me Chef AJ.Can I get your book in London?Greetings from London Uk.❤️
I believe you can have you checked Amazon?
Chef AJ do you use tomatoes at all?
I LOVE YOU ! ♥️
Well thank you.
Made a tomato basil onion spaghetti sauce, wit brown rice noodles. So yummy. But always a bit of work, chopping, cooked 2 hours to simmer the flavor.
Have you tried using an instantpot?
It's been a year I'm on weight loss journey. I been eating the same but I always cook with Olive oil and add salt and spices😊I will start your style and see how i feel. Thank you💞
I couldn’t tell what you were chopping with and I don’t see a link in the description.
That looks amazing and I could totally eat that for any meal. I love zucchini and onions and not sure about the purple cabbage, but I have some in my fridge now so maybe I will try it today.
This is how I cook as well, I pretty much wing it.
Doesn't the balsamic vinegar have sugar in it? All the ones I seen have sugar. Thank you!
