I'm so happy to see Kiki. She is much missed on TH-cam these days. I'm enjoying Plantifully Simple so much. Her last book, Plantifully Lean, had to be reinforced with kid's book plastic to keep it together not long before I received Plantifully Simple in the mail, lol. The chickpea omelette is one of my favourite regular things to make. I love Kiki's easy does it approach to being vegan. She is someone who makes being vegan easy and delicious without unrealistic food prep, which is hard to stick to/find time for, or to fit into the fridge! Some is necessary though, and it always makes fixing a fast meal easy peasy. I moved house earlier this year and have made a vegetable garden growing all the basics (kale, spinach, tomatoes, lettuces and lots of herbs plus citrus). It'll never be equal to Kiki's glorious garden because I have to grow in a large dog pen to keep things safe from possums and bandicoots here in Sydney, Australia. Aussies will know this struggle well. Having enough Tuscan kale and spinach for so many dishes, salads and smoothies ready in the garden is a true gift from Mother Nature. Thanks for this dose of Kiki Rick 😊 It's a wonderful gift, always ❤
I love Kiki as a person. she is a beautiful soul. I make my own corn tortillas. its just corn flower and water, super easy to make when you buy a press. mascienda is the brand i use for corn flower. 🌻🌻The chickpea flower i buy on amazon- organic, no supermarkets even carry it by me and it gets delivered to my door. i make the chickpea flower tortillas on a pancake hot plate, no spray - doesnt stick
I love chickpeas, like you two do. I order chickpea/garbanzo bean flour online from a company called Food To Live. I get it in bulk, and it keeps the cost way down. I make delicious bread with it, and I can't wait to try it in these omelets. Thank you!
Does he mean Tfel as he said, or T-Fal? -T-fal has been around for a LONG time, I thought it didn't used to be very healthy, but maybe they've improved?
T-Fal has been around for decades. They used to be the thing to get but then all sorts of other brands came out. I wonder if they changed the way the pans are made. 🤔👍
Not being a troll, I promise, but when you grind up chick peas into flour ... it seems like it would be absorbed extremely quickly much like white flour. Is chick pea flour just an occasional item, meaning useful but maybe not something to eat very often?
of course! Our great treats making chickpeas into a flour. It is NOT manipulated like our wheat has been. The chickpeas flour you make comes from a whole food, not a fractioned food. 😊
Even if chickpeas are in a flour texture, the fiber is still there, since it’s from a whole food, but you’re probably right, it may absorb a little faster, but not even close to those flours stripped of fiber. The great thing to I believe the other ingredients that make up her recipe help to slow down the speed of the flour absorption. Just guessing.
What you are describing sounds like the rhetoric of the carnivore movement. But there are decades of reliable studies that show that plants - fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, beans, all of these are nutritious and healthy for us to consume. Animal products contain unhealthy elements we should avoid like saturated fat and cholesterol. Please don't abandon plants. They are our bodies' required fuel.
@iamdebmiller Yes, carnivore/ketovore was mentioned. The only diet that has ever helped me was keto. I ate quite a lot of veg then, but the science and logic behind plant free eating seems certainly sound enough to give it a go for a month or so. Maybe I should report back. Maybe this isn't the right place, lol.
@@biodieseler1 True, maybe not the intended audience here. But a month or so seems like a short run, for either side of the plant-based discussion. Many diseases take a while to show signs, and a person may be able to eat nothing but meat for a while, lose weight, even feel better initially for the short term. But it's quite clear that a diet like that clogs arteries all over the body, which, over time, contributes to heart disease and other issues as well, like diabetes and kidney disorders. If I were looking to change my diet in some way to get relief from any problems, I'd go 100% plant-based - I DID go 100% plant-based, and I saw all my markers for glucose, insulin, cholesterol, heart, inflammation, kidney function, etc... all come down from the dangerously "too high" range into normal. I lost about 35 pounds, keep it off easily, and I feel like I am giving my body now with plant-based foods the nutrition and support it needs. Mine is just one person's story but there is a huge body of evidence in support of plant-based diets. Much of the "science" around keto and carnivore trends is mostly anecdotal and since keto and carnivore are very recent developments, no one really knows what life will be like for those who eat this way ten or twenty years from now. In contrast, plant-based diets have been studied well for decades, with proper cross referencing, and other structures within studies to give reliable results. And, if we expand beyond our own health, being plant-based means we significantly reduce the enormous amounts of harm and suffering that farmed animals endure to provide us with food we don't need to eat.

Kiki is great. Thanks for interview
I have made a few recipes from Kiki’s new book and they have been absolutely delicious! Thank you Kiki!
T-fal skillets are great! Inexpensive also! Great episode! TY Kiki and Rip!🥰
Kiki is the best! I learned about calorie density from her and Chef AJ!
Chickpea flour is called besan at Indian stores
TFAL pans are great and the non stick last for years
Does he mean Tfel as he said, or T-Fal? -T-fal has been around for a LONG time, I thought it didn't used to be very healthy, but maybe they've improved?
I love these. They taste great. Will need to try that nonstick pan Rip mentioned because they definitely stick to my pan unless I spray it.
Please put a link to the pan Rip recommended. Lots of confusion…thanks
T-Fal has been around for decades. They used to be the thing to get but then all sorts of other brands came out. I wonder if they changed the way the pans are made. 🤔👍
❤ 🌱🌼
Can we get a link for the pan? I can only find T-Fal pans. Not,T-Fel??

All I can find is Tfal pans not Tfel , didn’t Rip say Tfel?
That’s what I heard too but I can’t find it 🤷🏾♀️
@@traciireese1449I think it’s safe to say he misspoke. T-fal pans are great!
Everyone looks beautiful and vibrant when they are young no matter what you Eat
Couldn’t you put your cheese sauce on them? That would be so good
Instapot potatoes = 30 min Set it and forget it.
I heard that all plants contain toxins and anti-nutrients and it's made me think of giving up eating them altogether.
What do people think?
