@@krisp0114 thanks man. I'm in therapy now just so you don’t worry. Like I'm definitely am going to get better. The comeback is always better then the setback.
That's an insanely common complaint by vegans....depressed...and tired....and hungry. That is because fat soluble vitamins (animal foods) are a real thing that you ignore at your own expense.
Ollie can be short for Olive, which is definitely a girl’s name. Congrats on the lucky new family member. And I will be cooking up a “what’s in the bottom of the fridge” stew in my Instant Pot tomorrow thanks to you. Wish I had some baharat!
That’s arbutus- strawberry tree. The outside is a bit tough but it has a custard almost marzipan inside. Definitely edible and probably super healthy. We use them all the time as landscaping trees and bushes in Santa Barbara California
I was checking to see if anyone already ID’d the Arbutus unedo (Marina?), and you had! I’m in Ojai where we use them as an easy landscape bush too. The hummingbirds love the blossoms which are similar to Manzanita (same family) and birds eat the fruit - dark glossy leaves, great plant. (BTW, Ojai is 20 miles inland from the beach town of Santa Barbara, CA).
Awesome guys I only been vegan for 2 months but have binged all your vids they are so inspiring thank you so much keep up the life changing work From Adam UK
Yes I’am new here eating vegan! Probably around 1 month ! I’m really trying to go all out vegan! How can I do this !? I did keto years ago. Now I have 29% clogged arteries! I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing! I struggle when I go out with my wife to a restaurant! I have walnuts! Chia seeds! I make myself big fruit smoothies! Wi bl whole gran cereal! Someday’s oatmeal! I’m Given up my eggs! I eat eggs and salmon for years!
I really like that you show just a bit of the meal prep (chopping, peeling, measuring, etc). So many internet chefs just start with everything all prepped and laid out ready to throw in a bowl and say, "all done!" It's nice to at least acknowledge to the viewers that yes, there is some prep involved in cooking.
Awww....Ollie is adorable!!!! Cats are so special...such beautiful souls❤️ I am so happy for you! It is a privilege to share our lives with animals❤️❤️
I agree! Both dogs and cats can teach us so much. I love how stoic cats are. I need more of that... I'm a bit of a spaz. Haha. Although this kitty is a spaz right now, I know they calm down as they age.
@@Simnettnutrition for sure ❤️ I have two( a female with 16 years old that spends most of her day sleeping and a male with 6...he is blind but nothing seems to stop him! 😂❤️)
@@Simnettnutrition My friend, I know you would mean no harm in it, but, just so that you know, spaz is considered an ableist slur in some places, like Australia and the UK.
It's funny you said you thought it was a strawberry, it's actually strawberry tree fruit (arbutus unedo). They got the name because people thought they were strawberries from a distance. They are edible. Congratulations on the new family member!
@@Simnettnutrition Arbouses, as we say in France are super rich in vitamine C and very expensive here if you buy and not harvest it. You can buy a syrup for winter (argousier syrup) that’s super high in vit C. Usually, in the South of France, we directly harvest those in the forest and make some jam with it. Animals love them too.
@@Simnettnutrition Don’t tell Chrystal. Just freak her out but eating it! Lol. Love, love LOVE the Kitty! My old Saydee is a dilute calico that looks like Ollie. It’s fun to see you both interact with her. Love the family.
Congratulations on your new family member. Ollie is precious and so beautiful! We recently said good-bye to our sweet boy and it's been really hard. I didn't think I wanted another cat, but seeing Ollie has made me reconsider...but maybe not just yet. Great video as always! Much love from Ontario!
I love these videos….you both are so full of life and positive energy! Been eating 90% vegan and working out more especially with weights. I’m 56 and while I’m waaaayy older than Crystal, seeing her do chin ups is inspiring. It’s on my list of goals!
Another fabulous video and great food...but...Ollie 😻😻 she is absolutely adorable, what a sweet little girl ❤ thank you both for giving her a forever family and home xx
Awww, I had a feeling the other day that you guys would get a kitty! Yay!!! Ollie is so incredibly cute!! Those meals, Derek, look so inviting-I’m going to start using my instant pot next week when our weather turns colder. Can’t wait! Tell Crystal~”you go girl” on those pull-ups~it’s my next goal to get there! Thanks for sharing your time with us! 🌱♥️
Thanks for the awesome comment. I will tell crystal! She says thanks! She did lots of banded pull-ups to help her get there. She didn't think she would ever even get one, but here she is! You've got this!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW FUR-BABY; Ollie is adorable, you can't go wrong with a Calico, they are the sweetest, speaking from experience. That walk in the nature was beautiful! Sometimes the best meals come out of opening the refrigerator and getting creative, I always enjoy the enthusiasm you and Crystal share with us. BTW, great job at the gym guys - you go Crystal!!!
Derek, so glad to see you embracing slowing down. I just turned 40 this month and have had migraines for 23 years. Last month I tried stopping leading up to a migraine and it didn't eventuate! In the last month I've taken a slowed down approach to things and have again avoided a migraine! Slowing down is vital to longevity and I have just proved it to myself 😂 Take care man 👍
Yes! Kitten! My partner and I just got a kitten too. I have been watching you since you had your last kitty family members. Love seeing the new fuzzy one in your lives.
In Farsi/Persian Bahar/Baharat means Spring. In Arabic Baharat means Spice. However, in this case Baharat means Indian Spice. Baharat was the original Sanskrit name for India. Their cultural pride is that each spice is picked with intentions for well-being. Each spice is beneficial to the body. I thought I would pass that on you. Love your videos! Love the new kitty! 💕 🐈
I stumbled upon your channel and have watched like 5 videos in a row! I love it! You’re both lovely people and so inspirational! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you Derek and Crystal for this amazing video. I have followed your channel for some time and love to see how you both have such a nurturing and creative spirit. I am looking forward to trying your instant pot idea!
So much to love in this video! Crystal doing pull ups!! (Girl power!) The food! Ollie! The allergy relief! Benefits of walking! The warm spices for this time of year.
Congrats on Ollie! =) Loved your neighborhood cats making the guest appearances. I used to have a neighbor with a polydactyl (six toed) russian blue, that would walk me to and from school every day like clockwork. I try to know all the animals in my area, even the wild ones. I frequently stop on walks to hang out with random animals =)
Congratulations on your new fur baby! The story about her name is almost exactly what happened with our cat Oliver. We adopted him as a kitten and was told he was girl. So we named "her" Olive. Once we took "her" to the vet, we found out she was actually a boy so we just added an r to the name and he became Oliver. But we call him Ollie all the time. Too funny!
So so cute 😍 my furry side kick Penelope turns one today, welcome little one. Fab video as always giving us that inspiration to get into the kitchen and make something delicious! 🐾🐈😘❤😍
I find u two inspiring and love the positive energy you have and share with your followers. Ur food always looks so fresh and healthy and u r my go to on u tube. Keep them coming. Mark from Chelmsford England!
Umm... Crystal doing chin-ups? That is the ultimate middle finger to vegan critics. I love videos with both of you; your banter is adorable! I love these recipe videos because they really show how accessible veganism is. Thank you! Congrats on the new addition! I'd love a video focusing on user workout questions.
Love all your videos! Congrats on your sweetest addition..Ollie! I love watching your recipes they definately inspire me to make my own recipes up…but I’ve used many of yours and they’re all so good! Ty for all the effort you put in to making the videos! 🤗🤗
Aww...used to have a tortoise shell tabby...named turtle. And that white cat reminded me of another rescue, Minxy. Minxy had the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen on a cat.
Your videos just got 10x more interesting! Welcome Ollie! 🥰 such an adorable kitty. 😻 and I didn't know stinging nettle helps with allergies. Gotta try that out too. I drink nettle tea, but I guess I need something stronger, like tincture.
Just found your channel, I have to admit it's been life changing!!! I've been vegan for 2 years but with food allergies I've been feeling really burnt out. Love the new recipes and your fun positive energy! My husband keeps laughing at me "are you watching Derek and Crystal again lol" Love you guys and everything you're doing, thank you!!! ♥️
Have to add my voice to the rest - Ollie is adorable!! Absolutely adorable. Dinner looked really good. Makes me realize that I don't get enough veggies in a day. You pack a punch! Thanks for the video.
Ollie looks like my sweet cat Bella. I was told she wasn't a calico or a tortoiseshell cat. I always thought Bella was an orange cat and a grey cat together. Needless to say, she was my baby and the sweetest cat ever. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.
Even if one is allergic to animals, they will develop and immune to them in due time. So no need to get rid of the cat or dog over allergies. Just give it some time. One can also use a natural balm and rub it in the inside of the nose. Sounds horrible. But it works marvels for helping with allergies. Use the stinging nettle too, if it is real bad. Think I will try that, as mine are mild. Good to know.. The burrito looks so darn good, wish we could get that cheese here. 😢
Your new kitten Ollie is so cute 💖 One of the great things about the winter is they stay in all the time. It's always such a joy when my cat greets us in the morning, meowing, purring and enjoying getting lots of strokes.
I've been depressed for a few weeks and this inspires me to move and feed myself. So like, thank you.
I hope you feel better now mate

I'm so happy you guys adopted Ollie! I'm sure she will feel happy and safe living with you, and the three of you will have so much fun together! ❤ 😊
Thank you so much! We hope so too.
This is one of your best videos. A bit of everything and crystal’s ability to do chin ups should silence the meat eating critics.
Well if a carnivore did 3 pullups would you be impressed? Would that silence the critics of the carnivore diet?
True, although her chin ups are real impressive for sure.

What are you feeding your cat?
Proper nutrition unlike your cat

Hey Derek, great vid. You seem a lot more calm and confident in yourself - keep up the good work :)
