    OKAY I made the waffles for breakfast this morning and the burgers for lunch and I can personally vouch that both are AMAZING. Thank you so much Caitlin! I needed some new recipe inspiration and these were both a win. Now I just gotta try that mac n cheese😋

    I am SO blown away by your channel! I have been watching a bunch of your videos over the past few days, whenever I get a chance! I am on day 26 of a plant based diet, and so far, so good! You have such amazing recipes. I absolutely love how you made a cheese sauce out of potatoes and carrots. I mean, who would have thought?!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

    I decided to try all three of these recipes this week. I approve of the waffles and I added a fresh peach to mine. The mac and cheese was incredible. I will be making the burgers later this week and I am really looking forward to it. These were the first recipes of yours that I have tried, but I know they won't be the last.

  • @omgnoi
    @omgnoi 7 років тому

    THANK YOU for typing the recipe in the description so I don't have to constantly rewind to write it down. So many youtubers don't (looking at you rawvana and fully raw kristina) and it is annoying to try to do!! So thank you!

  • @amyshaw444

    Hey! So I'm probably not your demographic audience (40's mom with 2 young kids) but I really appreciate the simplicity in these recipes. I am transitioning into a vegan diet and it can be a big challenge when you've been eating the S.A.D your while life. I just ordered all items from while foods to make these three recipes. Thanks!

  • @jamiewashere16
    @jamiewashere16 8 років тому

    So excited that I found your channel. I used to eat plant based for a little over a year, and then I fell off of that band wagon. I have been going through such a rough patch. I am actively getting myself back to a state of mind where I want to eat healthy again, and eat plant based. Money is always a struggle, but I watched some of your videos and couldn't believe how inspired I felt to do exactly what I have been wanting to do. I used your link for Thrive Market and got some free chia seeds and also bought some flax seeds. I am going to go grab some potatoes and few others things at Aldi's now! Thank you for your videos. You really have just changed my life in the matter of an hour. Needless to say I have subscribed!
    Thank you thank you thank you.

  • @elizabethlucile7643

  • @Budscer
    @Budscer 7 років тому

    Just made the mac n cheese! but I had to freestyle a little bit because I was out of almond milk and tahini. Instead of almond milk I made a slurry from the potato/carrot broth and 1 tbs of corn starch. Instead of tahini I used Dijon mustard. I also added a little salt at the last minute. So delicious!!! Thanks Caitlin 💜

    @haileeasmr6846 8 років тому +4

    Thank you SO much for these recipes! I'm not even vegan but I still like to keep watch over my dairy intake so I'm definitely gonna be trying all of these recipes out, especially the waffles and mac and cheese. I don't have tahini so I'll have to do without it.. I hope the sauce still comes out good.

    • @CaitlinShoemaker
      @CaitlinShoemaker  8 років тому +3

      Hmm it will definitely be less creamy without the tahini, but it's worth a try! Maybe you could blend 1/4 cup of raw soaked cashews in the sauce instead if you have those

  • @tootily
    @tootily 8 років тому +3

    @maia23zade98 8 років тому +1

    These all look amazing! I almost started crying at the mac and cheeze... mac 'n' nooch is one of my favorites, but your recipe is definitely healthier with the carrots in the cheeze sauce. I'm excited to make those waffles and the veggie burgers, too. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious and nutritious food! :)

  • @abigaili7216
    @abigaili7216 8 років тому

    Those waffles look soooooo good. And that mac and cheese. I have tried like a million vegan mac and cheese recipe and they all failed. I'll give that one a try. Never thought of adding tahini. YUM! Thanks so much for your recipes. My favorite videos of yours are what I eat in a day and grocery hauls. Definitely do more grocery halls.

  • @r7evan42
    @r7evan42 8 років тому +37

    WOW! Vegan mac n cheese! That is one thing I have missed so much since going vegan. Vegan cheeses are high in sodium and mostly soy which I need to stay away from. When I saw this recipe I was on it! I made it right away because I had all the ingredients. It really is deeelish! Thank you so much for sharing ;)

    • @r7evan42

    I jus made your chia cinnamon pancakes cuz I don't have a waffle maker lol. it turned out really well. I mashed the banana into the recipe rather than using it as a topping and it was delish. its light but still so filling. made 6 pancakes in total. thanx for this recipe hon

  • @Sarah-kx7yg
    @Sarah-kx7yg 7 років тому +1

    After trying all of these recipes, the burgers are my favorite. They were all delicious, but I really liked the burgers. I've already made them twice, leaving the cumin out the second time around and just adding extra garlic. Delicious!

  • @kristinamarie3230
    @kristinamarie3230 8 років тому

  • @meve5
    @meve5 8 років тому

    I tried the burger (did not use ketchup or cumin and mixed in a bit of mushrooms and onions) OMG i'm in love!!!😍😍 Lol. I tried making a sweet potato based veggie patty recipe last year and it was disgusting. But yours is a winner!! I'm gonna brag to everyone about it. Thank you thank you!! :)

  • @ednagarcia9631
    @ednagarcia9631 8 років тому

    So it's 6pm and it's my second time making the waffle recipe today. They're so good! I added vanilla extract and coconut sugar to mine and I also need to use an oil to cook them. They stuck to my waffle maker the first time around... it wasn't pretty.
    But I'm so glad they turned out so delicious! Good on that recipe :)

I will be making these as my "go to burgers"and they were so easy to make, the only difference was I wasn't able to bake them our oven is on the blink😬 so I pan fryed them with very little olive oil, I'm somewhat a newbie to this Veggie/vegan/letting go of meat and dairy little by little......Thank you for sharing

    • @caravirostko4008
      @caravirostko4008 8 років тому

      Caitlin Shoemaker Made the burgers for dinner. My family all loved them. I noticed a couple things missing from the written recipe... ingredients - 2 T ketchup, directions - 2 T flax. Also it might be helpful to put in parentheses that 1/2 cup dry rice equals 1.5 cups cooked. Thanks, again! Making pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.

It worked ok with two, in case you ever want more healthy fats in there! :-) Thanks also for the tip to wet your hands. I forgot for the first three - what a mess. But after I wet my hands it was like magic!
