Thanks for having me on Jeremy! Was so fun to chat with you and so lovely to see some familiar faces in the comments. 🤗🤗
Of course!!! We should do it again sometime :)
@@pbwithjeremy Definitely! 😃
Love Maddie’s channel, enthusiasm and all her recommendations and recipes ❤
QQQ. Hello from DC. love your guest Maddie I watch her all the time enjoy her meal prep ❤❤
I love Maddie. Her thorough cleaning of produce has really caused me to realize I was not doing enough in that area! Thanks for interviewing her! Her channel is great!
She's made us up our game too!
Even for the two of us, batch cooking and some meal prep (and we NEVER eat the same thing 2 days in a row, ever) is essential for us. It gives me so many options, it's quicker for meal prep, and there's less stress on those days when I've been out all day for instance. I find that by prepping and properly storing (usually in airtight containers) all my vegetables & fruits as soon as I bring them home, they last MUCH longer. The plus is that my vegetables are always ready. Things like cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, tomato, remain whole after washing because they won't keep long if cut.
I prep my base mix for bolognaise, chilli , soups, and stuff. Diced carrots,celery and onions. So glad that I do that, I have 6 bags in the freezer. This week I had a fall and fractured my hand. I can still cook my meals thanks to prepping 😅
Regarding the lasagna, I always just make the lasagna and then after it cooks and cools, I freeze it. It works just fine. I've never thought of the other. I do use the no bake noodles and that doesnt make a difference.
Yes! You can absolutely freeze after cooking. I work in our local hospital's kitchen and we cook, portion and freeze our lasagna, and then add the cheese when we reheat to serve (I know, hospital food 🙄 lol but all of our patients rave about ours, honestly!) So yes, I do the same with veggie lasagna at home, and then just add the vegan cheese or vegan parm or whatever, after thawing and before reheating in the oven! Totally works 😊
I was so excited to see you were going to have Maddie on the show! She's such a sweetheart, and has so much helpful info and lots of yummy recipes. Great interview, her channel is fabulous and one of my absolute favourites, as is now PB & J! (I've been doing a little binge watching 😂)
Glad to have yo uhere!
Love Maddie, She's Awesome!
oh hahaha "like a drunk uncle", I loved that comment about the baby led weaning. We did the same with our kid, and she ate everything till she was three and then we went into the beige phase lol, also she doesn't like anything pudding textured, because she wasn't fed mushy foods as baby😄 Thanks for this interview Jeremy and good luck with baby Maddie, try to enjoy every moment because they are little for such a short time!♥
Thanks for sharing this :)
Hi Jeremy and Maddie, have all your cook books Maddie. New to You-Tube and your two were one of the first channels I subscribed to. I have been plant based for 3 years now. Reversed my diabetes with a plant based diet. Back then there were few channels but I found Dr Gregor and figured out how to reverse my disease. Freedom.
Oh wow - so glad you found us early in your journey!
Awww~You’re the best husband ever (snack fuel) for your wife & new baby (back in the day)👍
Yay, we love Maddie!
Had Maddies sweet potato and oat waffles this morning for breakfast!
Nice!!!
I know I’m late because I could not watch live but I made all my baby food for my kids😊it’s totally doable😊 also so nice to see you both 😊 enjoy Maddie’s channel too😊
You can freeze chopped onions for soups,etc.
My daughter and son-in-law did baby led weaning with my grandson. He did figure it out....his other grandparents kind of freaked out at first, but he did well. He had to adjust to texture but never choked. He gaged a few times as expected but they just offered him what they were eating, less seasoned at first and gradually fed him exactly what they were eating. He overall isn't picky and still eats what they do. Any pickiness is just related to age-might eat something one day but not want it the next :)
Yup - babies are smart (if you let them figure it out)
Jeremy, you're so different in this interview then you are any other videos. This is all good you're absolutely adorable!
Oh - different how?
I’ve used oven ready, lasagna noodles before, layers of veggie cheese, or just tofu ricotta, sauce, and then layers of veggies, like mushrooms, completely uncooked. Just layer it all up, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and tinfoil, label it, and pop it in the freezer. I usually pull them out the day before though, otherwise they take forever to bake.

This was fun to watch. Maddie's enthusiasm about meal prep is inspiring. I am already subscribed to her channel and will be checking out her videos. Thank you to everyone! Good luck and congratulations to Maddie! 🥰
I discovered Chanty Marie early on when I switched to plant based and she was a life saver. It was a total lightbulb moment watching her videos on prepping after shopping, in particular. She's the main reason I began dealing with all my produce as soon as I brought them home. Check her out.
I will - thank you!
Hello from Cali
I hated making pancakes but since I now have a long griddle for the stove it is great. I also use an electric Cuisinart Griddle Panini machine. You can lay the top down flat so you have two surfaces to cook on. I have a cheaper brand of those in our motorhome and no longer hate making pancakes.
For lasagna, I use flat freezer containers and store some of the leftovers for later. (Now I want to go make lasagna)
I enjoy have items in the freezer. When we go up north for a weekend, which we do often, I have food cooked and don't have to worry about cooking in a tiny kitchen and having to take a whole bunch of ingredients along.
Thanks for the tips!!!
LOVE both of you!
I think I've been watching Maddie from the beginning! I love her! Thanks for having her on. I only wish I could have seen it live. Great interview!
You are so welcome! She's the best :)
I listened to this early in the morning before getting out of bed. Because of this conversation I got up and prepped my brussel sprouts that have been in the fridge for over a week. I love brussel sprouts but hate to prep them! Thanks for all the tips. Deb from NC. 🌞💚
This conversation saved your Brussel Sprouts. We have done our duty!!!
@@pbwithjeremy haha.. luckily they do last a long time.
I use the slap chopper all the time. I batch chop onions, peppers, squash/zucchini and brussel sprouts to use through the week. The blade is extremely sharp. A slight touch will cut you 😂
Good tip - thank you!!
I have always cooked my lasagna before freezing, I never thought of not cooking my lasagna before freezing, especially if I use no-boil noodles. I hope people comment on that.
It sounds like it works either way.
This was great! Another wonderful collab. with another of my go to channels. I've found if you are short on space or time a rotating prep works great. Prep grain today, beans tomorrow and veg the next day. So meals wind up being 2 prepped things and something new.
Great idea!
Brilliant video.I love both of you.I watch your channels all the time so it was a joy to see you chatting
Thanks for watching!!!!!
Great to watch 2 of my favourite vegan WFPB fellow Torontonians! I love both your channels.
Yay! Thank you!
Hi, Sheryl from Western North Carolina
The trick to a good frozen lasagna is to let it unthaw completely so it is not watery.
In the Fraser Valley BC there is "Ugly Veg Day" at one of the large farms. I think it was in November. I was visiting family and had read about it . I believe it's by donation . Such a great way to save on food waste.
Love that!
I would never worry about a kid's palate unless they become medically underweight. My daughter got picky at age 3 when my mom started watching her while I worked and my mom only fed her junk. So when I got her home, I would always give her the choice of sharing my dinner or having a peanut butter sandwich with broccoli slaw (she was a weirdo and thought broccoli slaw was junk food). She usually chose the latter, but sometimes chose the former, and eventually ate everything, and we never had a fight about it
Hi! Brittany from Indiana
If you double your favorite recipe and freeze half you always have a meal ready to go when you're short of time
I cook the lasagna and then freeze it the next day after letting it rest and set up. Then portion and freeze
Smart!
Maddie is amazing. ❤ hi my lovely
From Portugal ❤
I only freeze my cooked lasagna. It’s great
They have to have teeth to give them soft food that in chunks. You can’t give them that till they’re older. Also, a friend of mine father let her eat hot sauce right out of the packet and it burnt her sinuses because she has no sense of smell anymore and hasn’t since she was a little girl. Somehow she damaged her sinuses. So you do have to be careful.
Yes - I wouldn't give a kid hot sauce. He was just having mild salsa. If they don't have teeth they'll gum the food. Either way they need to experiment. Babie's gag reflexes are strong - the trick is to put it on their plate and let them self feed if you're doing that - far different than spooning it in. They're pretty intuitive. That was our experience anyway.
any suggestions for a single person,so we're not eating the same thing?
Freeze individual portions for variety.
Yup!
I do that with tomato paste..easier
The tube tomato paste is not worth the price in my opinion. You get a lot more in the cans for less
You have to remember to freeze any leftover canned tomato paste, because it spoils quickly if kept refrigerated, which is probably why the tube tomato paste is popular (as it keeps a very long time under refrigeration).
The tube may be expensive but for single folk, it works great. I used to waste the rest of the can.
Thanks for the tip!
