Welcome to The Big B & Little T channel. We are Brian & Tina Ahern, aka Big B & Little T. Our channel is a place where we share healthy lifestyle practices as we embrace our aging, baby-boomer bodies. Our videos run the gamut from cooking plant-based and vegetarian recipes, exploring our new state of Kentucky, living with Lucy, our rescued boxer dog, and discovering or rediscovering activities and hobbies like crocheting, reading, pickleball and running--all while working full-time. We hope you will join us as we embrace growing older energetically with healthy habits and lifestyle choices!
The Big B Bakes Buttermilk Biscuits #biscuits #buttermilkrecipe
Happy New Year and welcome to a new year of videos. We are starting off with a surprise as you can see, the Big B is baking buttermilk biscuits from a cookbook we got for Christmas. He LOVES biscuits and we decided 2025 was going to be The Year of the Biscuit!
This recipe is NOT vegan in the cookbook; however, you can use plant-based milk and sour it with lemon juice or vinegar--2 tsp. per 1 1/2 cups. We used plant-based butter in the recipe.
Follow along to watch the Big B navigate his first recipe of the year. The taste test says it all. Subscribe to our channel to see what other kinds of biscuits he decides to make from the cookbook Still We Rise by Erika Council. It's bound to be fun AND delicious!

Chocolate Zucchini Coffee Cake #asmrcooking #bakewithme
Переглядів 712 місяці тому
If you want to add some more veggies into your life while having your cake and eating it too, then you must try this recipe! My mom used to make Leftover Coffee Chocolate Cake on the weekends whenever there was cold coffee leftover from my parent's morning pot of coffee. Her recipe included an egg and oil and I've opted to leave those out our son was allergic to eggs, so we often made Crazy Cho...
Homemade Strawberry Syrup Anytime #strawberries #homemadesyrup

Do you ever crave a fruit or vegetable when it's not in season? I had a craving for strawberries, and clearly fall isn't strawberry season, but luckily the supermarket has frozen fruits and vegetables all year round, many of them organic. This recipe is easy to make with 5 simple ingredients one of those being water! I'm sure you could use blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or cherries in p...
Cutest Orange Kitty #orangecat #animalrescue
Переглядів 1863 місяці тому
On our vacation last summer we stayed with our daughter and her husband for a few days, and one night on our way home from eating out, a sweet little orange kitty ran out in front of the car! Luckily, our son-in-law stopped in time! Our daughter bounded out of the car, and the next thing we knew the tiny orange kitty found a new family to call its own.
Pizza For Two #plantbased #frenchbread
Переглядів 423 місяці тому
This is a great recipe when you're craving pizza but don't want to make the pizza crust. A hearty French loaf makes a great crust for a simple, plant-based pizza. The recipe can hardly be called that...it's just a few things put on top of the sliced French loaf, and throwing it in the oven. Enjoy! Ingredients: *One wheat French Loaf, sliced lengthwise into 3 crusts *3 cloves garlic *2 T. olive ...
Chocolate Eclair Cake #easydessert

I looked at a lot of recipes for this dessert, and was able to make this one a bit smaller than a 9x13 (since the Big B and I don't need a dessert that size in the house!) AND I made it *nearly* plant-based. It is possible if you choose to make your own coconut-milk-based whipped cream, or use the kind of whipped topping that squirts out of a can. Alas, I took the easy, and non-healthy route, a...

If you love sourdough bread but you don't want it to take more than one day, give this recipe a try. It uses sourdough starter with a little help from yeast, and can be ready in a few hours. Ingredients: *1/3 c. sourdough starter *1/2 packet dry yeast *1/2 tsp. sugar *1/3 c. plus up to 1/3 c. more warm water *2 c. all purpose flour *1 1/2 tsp. salt *olive oil for greasing pan Directions: 1) Pou...
Quick Puttanesca Sauce #plantbased #meatfree
Переглядів 754 місяці тому
This tasty sauce is an adaptation of one that I received in a weekly email from Sam Turnbull of It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken. We've had it at least four times, and I've tweaked it for my non-green-olive-loving husband I didn't take them ALL out, just reduced the amount and I added some spices and plant-based sausage to "beef" it up a bit. If you don't follow Sam's channel, or have one of her c...
Veggie Quiche #tofu #eggfree
Переглядів 634 місяці тому
This recipe came out of my desire to eat quiche like I used to before going plant-based. I've used tofu to replace the cheesy layer in lasagna, so why not try it in quiche! I did learn one thing in this recipe and that is to use firm tofu instead of "super" firm. I ended up adding more plant milk to the recipe than what I had originally written down. I've corrected it below in the description, ...
Air-Fries Anytime #starchsolution #veggielife
Переглядів 815 місяців тому
Potatoes are a staple in our house, and air-fries are my number one favorite way to eat them. Over the 15 years that I've eaten a mostly plant-based diet, I've come to enjoy vegetables for any meal and that includes breakfast! Where some people might think only oats, cereal, toast or smoothies are breakfast foods, I often find myself eating potatoes and veggies and in this case salad for my fir...

Thanks to a dear customer of ours from the Bakehouse, we enjoyed a trip back to Oklahoma earlier this month. Brian officiated a wedding for their son and we got to stay at a ritzy downtown OKC hotel, and then extend our trip to Fort Worth to see our daughter and son-in law before heading back to Tulsa to see my sister, niece, and her family. It was a whirlwind of a trip, and I did my best to ca...
Good-Bye Bloat!!! #plantbased

Are you like me and sometimes let your appetite get the best of you for a few days, or a few weeks, or even months on end? I got to the point where my pants were *too* tight and I needed to get myself back to basics. I remembered a book I read a few years ago by Valter Longo called The Longevity Diet. It's a good read, but if you're not too much into the science background, look Dr. Longo up on...

So often when people decide to give up meat, eggs or dairy, it suddenly seems like there are fewer options for lunch sandwiches. But with chickpeas in your pantry, with a few other ingredients, you can whip up a delicious sandwich in no time. Give this one a try and see what you think. Leave a comment to let me know if you tried it as is, or you changed it up! Chickpea Salad Makes 3-4 Servings ...
Stir Fry for Lunch #stirfry #stirfryvegetables
Переглядів 498 місяців тому
Join me for lunch as I put together a quick stir-fry using veggies I have on hand, noodles, and an optional vegan chicken topping. Eating out is expensive, not only in dollars, but also in calories! Many Asian restaurants add large amounts of oil, salt, and even MSG in their stir-fries, so cooking at home is a great way to save money AND to know exactly what's going in your dish. There's no spe...

Merry Christmas from Big B & Little T (and Lucy the Boxer)
So precious! Love the name too! Angus is a big boy and cute also! Hope Lucy's doing well too! Beautiful furbabies!🥰❤😍
Wow
👍👍!!
Yummy yummy!
Think of you 2 whenever I go into the Bakehouse.
And I think of you whenever I make a recipe from one of our Bakehouse classes. Miss seeing you there and at the counter as well. Hope you all are doing great!
Sayyyyy, I like your apron❤
It's my favorite, and I've worn many different ones, but this one is extra special ❤
Mhmm, lovely made. Looks so yummy. Also it´s healthy. And the most important thing. It`s homemade. Thanks for sharing 💞💞💞
Thank you! It’s a favorite for summertime for sure 👍🏻
Yummy!!
I hope you get a chance to make it 😊
Spread your chickpeas out on a dinner plate and mash them with a fork. Much easier than doing it in a bowl.
Oh! That's a great idea. Thanks so much 🙂
Very nice. I’ll make it today but without the oil. I water sauté my vegetables. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.
Great idea! Water sauteing is a wonderful strategy to cut calories, and I've used it many times myself! Enjoy 😃
Looks good. Thank you for the recipe.
You're welcome! I hope you like it as much as we do.
Great video, were you able to find any special releases from Woodford while you were there?
We were excited to buy a Kentucky Derby bottle of whiskey since this is the 150th running of the derby.
She's a happy girl! She exhausted herself!❤🥰😍
She's really happier when she's inside where it's warm!
Ty! 🙂
You're welcome!
Enjoy your new apartment. Happy New Year!
Thanks, Ray! Happy New Year to you, too! Hope you and the girls are doing fantastic!
Thank you and happy holidays to you as well 🎄 🎉
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family ❤ Miss getting to see your smiling face every Friday morning ☕️ 😊
That was Awesome!! Love it! Still miss you guys! Happy anniversary & Merry Christmas!🎄🤶
Wow, happy anniversary to you both!! And merry Christmas to you and Lucy!❤
This Buffalo Cauliflower Pasta is a true celebration of the art of cooking. nice!!
We agree! Enjoy :)
Sweet Lucy!❤ that meal looks delicious! Ty!
She is a sweet, albeit anxious boxer--and she loves pasta!
Lesson: Wait before checking if the pasta is ready... boiling water is hot!
Thanks for being a great sous chef and risking a burnt tongue for the cause!
Best wishes from Germany. Soy curls soaked in broath and spices helps.
Thanks for the tip!
Use wooden utensils to make your non-stick pans last longer. Great recipe using soy curls.
Thanks for the pan-saving tip! Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Kentucky?!?!
Can you believe it? We've been here since July 2022. If you go back to a few videos (Probably Spring 2022) we tell the story of why we chose Kentucky! Hope you're doing well in OK 😃
First time I have seen chocolate pumpkin bread. A must try. Thanks!
I'm super intimidated by baking but I'm gonna try this!
Watching from jamaica
Thanks for watching
I will try this thank u
Can i ask which apartment is it?
❤❤ I just love quick and easy... thanks dear Tina❤❤
You're welcome! I just love recipes that come together quickly and are delicious, too! Have a good one :)
Looks yummy!
It was! Now you need to try it with a GF crust!
Woah. Is that a shoulder tattoo, Mama Ahern? More about that! Glad you're healthy and happy in your new job. ❤
Yes it is! I'm planning a video about it soon. I got it in July after thinking about it a LONG time, lol. It's good to hear from you. Hope you are happy and doing well 🙂
Hi Brian, thank you for your thoughtful insights on this book. I think my husband just read this . Hope you and Tina are enjoying Kentucky. Chuck and I lived in Chattanooga for 2 years and loved that part of the country.
It's a great book, and really helped the both of us as our parents aged. We are enjoying Kentucky so far--it's almost been a year. There are surprising similarities to Oklahoma, but (so far) the summers haven't been as hot.
Just finding you Tina! Love all the videos. Haven’t heard your voice in a long time, but so familiar. My nephew Christopher somehow knows you?? Hope all the best for you and Brian in Kentucky! 🥰
Hi, Sally! Is this the Sally that I think it is? Lol Your nephew did some construction work years ago in Perry, OK and would come into our coffee shop periodically. If you're THAT Sally, he gave me your phone number and encouraged me to contact you, but I never followed through :( The last I knew you were in Arizona.
Glash dish😂
Have made this with my grandchildren. It is fun!
It's just so easy. I can see how it would be fun to do with children. Hope you're doing well. Miss you!
Tina, How fun! Can’t wait to try it! Miss YOU!
I ended up sharing it with Brian, so I can be nice after all, LOL! Miss you too--and our fun meals and game nights filled with laughter.
Hi Tina. I also have a genetic predisposition for high cholesterol, and I took a statin drug for many years, even though I was vegan. Then, I started hearing about apple cider vinegar and its many health benefits. So I tried it, and my cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose levels all went down. I no longer take any drugs for cholesterol or blood pressure, and my insulin use has been reduced (I'm a type 1 diabetic.) I take 2 tablespoons diluted in water or juice twice a day. The taste takes a little getting used to. I've heard that you should take the kind with the "mother", but I just use the plain cheap stuff. I hope this helps you, and good luck with the channel !
Thank you, Mark, for the information! I really don't like being dependent on a pharmaceutical at all, although when I was just retested, my numbers came down to 176. HDLs were up; LDLs were down. I've never been that low without taking meds. My doctor did reduce the amount I'm taking from 10mg to 5mg--the lowest dose. My hope is to be able to control it w/o taking a statin in the future and your message gives me hope--even if it makes me pucker thinking about drinking acv, lol! Thanks again for sharing.
Have you put this in the fridge to take for breakfast the next day?
I haven't tried that! It might be similar to overnight oats. You want to try it and let me know how it turns out?
I always blitz the cashews instead of soaking too. I like the potato flakes idea... believe it or not oats work great too! I'm thinking of making a 4x batch of the dry ingredients as the base for something similar to the dry packet that comes with mac and cheese. I like using roasted red peppers or pimentos instead of the carrots, adds a nice flavor and color.
The blitzing saves so much time and I can't tell a difference in the texture. I love your idea of making up a bigger batch of the dry ingredients! Will have to give it a go.
Like your haircut, Tina. I had a hip replacement done a year ago & now getting stiff & losing mobility due to inactivity during our very cold snap, so I'm inspired to try some of your exercise examples! Thanks. 😊💕👍🙏
Thanks! It's just easier to deal with less hair these days, lol! This winter has not been my favorite so far...I'm a spring and fall gal--disliking extremes either way! I hope you can do some of the exercises to relieve your stiffness. I have another chair exercise video that might be good for you as well. It's good to hear from you!
Tina, I loved watching this cookie making process. I really appreciate how you Had the camera focused on the food so I could see each little change. My friend made these for a shower the other day. They were sooo good.Thank you for sharing this!
Yay! Thanks for letting me know and I'm super happy they turned out!
Honestly,I'm not a flexible person. But I hope your video lesson will help to work with it. Thank you!!😊
As long as you're willing to put in some time to stretch consistently, I think you'll see improvement! Good luck!
Happy anniversary. You both look so happy!
Thanks, Janelle! We are super duper happy!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AHERNS! Miss you guys! Love The Robertsons
Merry Christmas to you and Jerry too! Miss seeing you each week. Lots of love!
Awesome!, love your hair, thanks for encouragement
Thanks, Tracy! Hope you and Jerry are doing great!
I am saving this one! Miss y’all!
Miss you too. I thought a green smoothie would be good around this time--especially since I ate a lot on Thanksgiving, lol!
Miss y'all and hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Miss you, too! Hope you got together with all of your family. We went to Lexington with Bree Ann and her boyfriend. His family always comes to KY to have Thanksgiving with friends, so it was perfect for us this year!
hello lucy crubby like his fur friend wow she is so cute
