    Hi Jeremy, just came across your channel yesterday & I love you and your family, especially for keeping it so real. Your family’s reactions remind of my own sometimes. I got a suggestion for an awesome cookbook for you to review and feed your family for a week. My kids are not fully vegan and absolutely love the recipes in this book.
    “Practically Vegan” by Nisha Melvani. She uses minimal oil but can easily be substituted with water. I’m in Mississauga btw👋🏻

      Greetings neighbour!!! Adding this book to the list! My kids aren't fully vegan either - they're pescatarian for the most part, but all our meals are vegan - unless they make their own (sometimes they'll add cheese to what I make)
      Thanks for the kind words!!

    A couple of tips for the pudding. 1. To keep the skin from forming put a layer of plastic wrap loosely but directly on the top of the pudding. Don’t put in the fridge until it has cooled down. That helps it not have the layer of condensation on top. 2. When using cornstarch or arrowroot to thicken it needs to be cooked for about 10 min to completely activate the cornstarch.

    Thank you so much for this and all your videos. Being wfpb it is really crucial to find more creative people making real, relatable content and family recipes. I have a teenage son and it's not always easy to find recipes that work for both of us. I actually have Kiki's book. She's amazing. I will say she does eat a ton of veggies, even if her recipes don't always include a lot of them. Everything is meant to be eaten with a side of veg. ❤

I’ve been following many plant based and vegan channels the past couple of years and I have to say that you and your family bring a fresh, new perspective that is as genuine as it is entertaining and informative. Time well spent. It feels like we’ve been friends for years. Cheers from Pickering!

    First time watching your channel and really enjoying it. We've been a long time fan of Kiki and I get it when you talk about it being simple and Kiki is all about the simple but also these are recipes that helped her loose 70 pounds and keeping it off for years. I don't mind the water in the pancakes instead of milk because it's more weight loss friendly, that kind of thing. I will be checking out your recipes too !

    • @pbwithjeremy
      @pbwithjeremy  Рік тому +4

      Appreciate all of this - and you're right about why she makes certain choices. I just know that as someone who lost 170 pounds eating this way, there's way to add flavour without adding calories. the 30 calories per cup of non-dairy milk is nothing in the grand scheme, especially when it's split up over several servings. It's the difference of 5-10 calories per person, etc... Appreciate this feedback!

You didn't mention that She always adds a little box on the recipes that says 'Make sure to pair with a vegetable or fruit side for your 50/50 plate. Don't forget to eat your veggies first!'.... ALSO, the southwest ranch recipe is 20 servings. Not 2.

    I love Kiki's recipes! She has a TON on her website if you're wanting to try some out before buying the book. I have the book on my wishlist for now.
    RE: Oat flour pancakes... yeah that's just how they are. I am wheat free (migraine trigger) so I don't have the option to use wheat and sub with oat flour a lot. It's nice because it's easy and cheap (just blend up some oats) but it's VERY dense and sits like a rock. I find flours with corn in them are tastier but significantly more expensive. Anything labeled "gluten free" is expensive just because of the label, it's so annoying! Like we get a brown rice pasta and it's almost 4x more expensive than whole wheat pasta. WTF?
    RE: Her cheese sauce, I actually use only potatoes in mine. I like carrots, but I find that in the cheese sauce it makes it too... earthy? I also add more seasoning than she does but I think I make a larger bath over all. I also find a TBSP of hemp seeds is a good replacement for the cashews if you're trying to lower the fat/calories for weight loss.

    Old auntie tip: cornstarch and soy milk works better for that old fashioned type of pudding, and it does help to let it get to room temperature before putting in the fridge. If you don't want a "skin" to form, lay wax paper or plastic wrap directly on the pudding surface.

She shares about her family, their life on their homestead, maintaining her weight loss, inner beauty, etc. I haven’t tried many of her recipes.

I do really like Plantiful Kiki and her simple recipes since I'm not a great cook and prefer to keep it fairly simple or I won't make it. I have this cookbook and appreciate you making the recipes come to life. I prefer to see a recipe demonstrated before I make it myself. Caitlin Shoemaker "From My Bowl" has some great vegan "dump and bake" recipes (put it all in a casserole, stick in the oven, and done). Will check out your website too.

      He put a twist on the recipes and didn't follow them exactly. I feel it's not a good review since Kiki's book is to help with weight loss. And he's telling people to add almond butter for "more fat".

    • @pbwithjeremy
      @pbwithjeremy  Рік тому +2

      To clarify - I believe I mentioned why she had the recipe as she did - for people who were looking for weightloss, and was merely suggesting that if that wasn't someone's goal and they wanted to add more flavour, that was a way to do it.
      That said - I appreciate the criticism - I believe that recipes for books to be made by home cooks aren't to be written in stone - they get modified by the person making it, but the idea stays in tact. If that's not your thing then I understand. Appreciate you checking out the video either way!

    For the pudding, if you put a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the pudding before you put it into the fridge, it won't get a skin on it, nor will it sweat/get condensation from the lid. That said, it looked odd, so I'm glad it tasted good.

    • @pbwithjeremy

    I like Kiki's recipe book. I call her recipes "idea recipes" for learning how to put your favorite meal together, yet keeping it weight-loss friendly. The ranch dressing really thickens up in the fridge. So, if you make it the day before you intend to eat it, it's the perfect consistency. I love enchiladas, but I hate enchilada sauce, whether it's store-bought or homemade. It's too" earthy and dirty" tasting for hubby and me. That's the best way to describe it. We make our own sauce that is much lighter in taste. And we double the corn tortillas, using a thicker brand. We feel like the tortillas disintegrate and get lost during the cook time. So we like the thick corn tortillas - they're called "street style." (Plus I'm a lazy cook, and she admittedly says she hates to cook, so I feel like she addresses that in the way she prepares her meals.)

    • @pbwithjeremy
      @pbwithjeremy  Рік тому +1

      Love this! And yes, totally get the idea of a lazy person cookbook. I think you've described the way to use this book perfectly - and thanks for the insight into your own kitchen habits! If you ever wanna give enchilada sauce another spin try this one I made up for this video - I normally don't like it either and this hit the spot.
      Thanks!!!

      Same. I get that her style is that she doesn't like to cook and keeps it simple, but then it feels like it's just a money grab for her followers. I know it's full of other interesting information about her journey and being plant-based - so perhaps if that's the way you're looking at it then it has tremendous value - but as a cookbook - not so much, IMO.

It has to be wrong in the book, but other than that I like it very much.

    I’m glad you did this book. I’m part of the others that suggested it. Ever time I followed the recipe to a tee it sucked, either it’s runny or tasteless if you look at when she makes the recipe on her channel they are either thick, browned just right, try doing her potatoes, or air fry something, she’s not being honest with the recipe, she changes it up. I’m glad that all the recipes you made didn’t come out either so it’s not me. Look when she wined about not getting a Nama juicer that the company didn’t send her. She wined on UA-cam till the company sent her a free one. She’s very cute & pretty presents herself well that what people like. She followed Dr. McDougall and lost all her weight, you can’t follow her recipes like they are because there tasteless nobody could eat this bland you have to add more spices & thicker. ❤
