We uploaded our very first video back on March 31, 2019 and honestly, we had no clue what was in store for us! We had no idea that almost two years later, we’d still be here making “Krocks In The Kitchen” videos on a regular basis. The support we’ve had from the whole food, plant-based community has been amazing.
I’ve been wanting to make an introduction video for a while now… something that people who are brand new to us can watch to get a sense of who we are and what “Krocks In The Kitchen” is all about. Well, that video is finally here! Along with the video, I decided to make this blog post to highlight some of our YouTube playlists.
So, who are we?
We hope you’ll watch the video to get an overview of who we are… both as a couple and as individuals. Here are a few highlights!
We are a married couple living in St. Louis, Missouri. My name is Jessica and my husband is Brian. We’ve been married for just over nine years now and together for about 13 years total. We are both in our 30’s and we have two Pomeranians (Oliver & Scout).
Back in 2018, we weighed nearly 800 pounds combined (514 for Brian and 285 for me). We decided we had to make a drastic change in our lives, so we ate nothing but plain potatoes for two weeks as a segue into our new whole food, plant-based lifestyle.
We’ve lost hundreds of pounds combined, and we decided to start a YouTube Channel called “Krocks In The Kitchen” back in 2019 so that we could share everything we’ve learned and continue to learn on this great adventure.
We also love to travel and take you along with us on whatever adventures life brings!
