[Music] [Music] [Music] because I want something sweet so this is the creamer that I'm using today I always use like different ones I usually do with my lattes half creamer half unsweetened almond milk because I don't like it super sweet thank you bone appetites I am so excited for dinner tonight because I'm about to be making my roasted barbecue my Taki mushrooms and they are an absolute smash so this is what the Mitaki mushrooms look like these are actually not the ones I'm about to use I have the ones that I'm about to cook right here in this pot soaking in a vinegar and salt bath because I don't play about washing my produce so um I'm about to drain that rinse that off but yeah y'all my my Taki mushrooms with the barbecue glaze I put on them they come out so crispy but they're still tender they just have the absolute perfect flavor it's just oh I just love making these if y'all can't tell but um let me show you how to do it it's very very easy mushrooms all nice and clean I'm gonna drizzle in some olive oil then I'm gonna add some steak seasoning some garlic powder some salt and pepper then I'm gonna take this mango jalapeno barbecue sauce and this is the star of the show I mixed it in and I always cook this on cast iron because it just comes out the best this way I'm actually going to split this in half because they cook a little better when they're not in like super big clumps like the whole one together and now I'm going to pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes I already have my oven preheated at 400 degrees foreign [Applause] and then once they're out of the oven you can see these crispy edges they're nice and charred then I just take a little more of the mango jalapeno barbecue sauce drizzle that on look at that sizzle oh my goodness so good so today for my vegan mac and cheese I use this gluten-free red lentil pasta they're pretty good they just taste a little tougher like a little more gritty than regular wheat noodles but um I do have the recipe for my vegan mac and cheese and my cookbook I'll link that down below but yeah I'm gonna go ahead and finish my dinner these mataki mushrooms y'all so crispy and charred I like my food to be almost burnt sometimes just brings out the flavor it's almost like you grilled it foreign good afternoon y'all do y'all hey when your ears pop and your voice sounds distorted to yourself ah it drives me nuts anyway it's like 12 30. I'm finally taking a break to eat my first meal of the day because this morning I've been working working and sometimes I get in the flow and I don't want to stop until I come to like a good stopping

these angel hair pots of palm pasta noodles for my spaghetti I'm gonna grind up some walnuts use that to make it like a meaty sauce got this organic portobello mushroom pasta sauce that I'm gonna use lunch was very lackluster not gonna lie it's I only ate like half of them and then I ate some peanuts that's how it goes sometimes y'all but yeah I'm about to whip this up this is a dish that I've made a million times and I love it and I know it's going to turn out amazing all right I got my noodles boiling over there I'm gonna pour some of that in I'm gonna add my walnuts then I'm gonna add seasoning salt Italian seasoning a little salt and pepper mix that all in then I'm gonna cover it and let this simmer for about five to ten minutes all right I added a little water to it to thin out the base so it wasn't so thick now I'm going to take some nutritional yeast I'm gonna have my pasta noodles then I just made a cheap version of garlic bread by slathering on some vegan butter spreading on a little minced garlic and sprinkling some Italian seasoning on bread then toasting it it's pretty that's pretty well I did first time doing this y'all and it is so delicious definitely try it if you haven't made garlic bread like this good morning happy Friday so this morning I'm just going to keep it simple I'm about to make some avocado toast and a almond butter chocolate protein smoothie for my shake I'm gonna use this raw almond butter cocoa powder my protein powder almond milk I always use unsweetened and a touch of vanilla extract thank you [Music] foreign [Music] mac and cheese from the other day that really needs to be eaten so what I'm about to do for lunch is turn this into kind of like a broccoli alfredo type of dish I'm just gonna add some broccoli to it thin it out a little bit with some almond milk add a few more seasonings and that'll be that [Music] thank you [Music] looks super delicious [Music] all right y'all so for dinner tonight I'm making kind of like a pizza but with the cauliflower as the crust so I just cut my cauliflower into steaks like this spread on some of that pasta sauce the remainder that I used from the other day then I have this organic cashew milk mozzarella put some of that on I'm gonna top it with some red onion kale I really like to load these up some chopped olives some mushrooms then I sprinkle on some seasonings I have garlic powder got some oregano seasoning salt pepper regular salt then I just put this in the oven at 400 degrees anywhere between 30 and 40 minutes this is what it looks like fresh out of the oven and I just fried up some potatoes to go along with it if you guys have never tried this before please give it a try mmm it's like a guilt-free pizza you can eat as much as you want and it's full of veggies and it's so delicious foreign [Music] [Music] so good [Music] hey y'all so for dinner tonight I'm just going to be having this red lentil doll with spinach soup I love this soup I get it from Whole Foods as you can see so I'm gonna have that but I'm gonna make something that I've never made before to go with it and that is this Miss Jones brand keto and paleo not cornbread bread breaded muffin mix I got this from Sprouts it's made with almond flour coconut flour baking powder and sea salt those are the only ingredients in this mix I am anxious to see how it tastes hopefully it turns out good it calls four eggs milk and butter I have vegan butter but y'all know I don't eat eggs so I'm gonna be using as a replacement just unsweetened applesauce and for the milk of course I'm gonna use almond milk [Music] [Applause] thank you [Music] all right so I just took it out of the oven it looks promising and it actually smells really really good [Music] all right y'all so here's my dinner this quote-unquote cornbread is very crumbly but let's try this out uh spread a little vegan butter on top it's kind of mushy and gritty at the same time so the texture just isn't right but the taste isn't bad the taste is all right might not finish that whole pan but I'm definitely going to finish what I have on my plate right here so I'm gonna eat this anyway good morning guys it is a lovely day it's just sunny and bright and nice and yeah it's put me in a really good mood but anyway on to what I'm eating right so for breakfast this morning I'm just gonna make a chia seed fruit

oh it's actually not that bad it's actually a really good texture [Music] then I'm just going to sprinkle on some unsweetened coconut flakes I love fruit bowls they're so refreshing [Music] so for lunch today I'm making this vegetable fried rice I get it from Trader Joe's I've talked about this before but I really love this fried rice is so so tasty but usually when I make it I always Beef It Up and I add extra vegetables to it so that's what I'm gonna do today I'm gonna add some asparagus carrots mushrooms and broccolini to it and it just makes it way more hearty way more fulfilling and
