How To Clean A Dutch Oven: Our Results After Testing 3 Different Methods!

Today on Krocks In The Kitchen, we have a video that was inspired entirely by YOU! Well, maybe not you specifically, but our viewers. On our last few recipe videos, a few people commented about the stains on the bottom of our Dutch oven. Brian has scrubbed at it with a sponge and soapy water many times, but we hadn’t really researched any other cleaning methods… until now! Continue reading

Recipe: Twice-Baked Loaded Potato Skins + PlantPure Baked Potato Soup (Oil-Free, Vegan)

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of interviewing Kim & Nelson Campbell from PlantPure Nation. One of the things we chatted about was their new line of plant-based Meal Starter Kits.

Brian’s “Iron Chef” Recipes: Roasted Cauliflower + Sweet Potato Chickpea Hash (Oil-Free, Vegan)

Last Sunday, Brian had the honor of competing in the first-ever “Iron Chef” style competition on Chef AJ’s live show. Brian and Brittany (from The Jaroudi Family) had the same three secret ingredients and only 30 minutes to cook. Many of you have asked us for the recipe he came up with, so we thought we would film a separate video to give you a closer look at what he did! Continue reading

Kim & Nelson Campbell of PlantPure Share Their Mission To Make Healthy Food Accessible To Everyone!

When Brian and I first started eating a plant-based diet back in June 2018, we didn’t really know anything about the plant-based community. After losing over 200 pounds combined, we started our YouTube channel to help answer the questions we got about our weight loss. Little did we know, sharing our journey (sorry… ADVENTURE!) with the world would give us the opportunity to talk to some of the leaders in the plant-based community. Even better, we now have a platform to share their messages and help grow the community! Continue reading

Dollar Tree Grocery Haul: Whole Food, Plant-Based On A Budget!

We get a lot of questions about how much we spend on groceries while following a whole food, plant-based diet. I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not the greatest at following a budget, but I do know that finding whole food, plant-based groceries does NOT have to break the bank. I’ve been wanting to do a “Plant-Based On A Budget” video series for a while now, and I’m excited to share this Dollar Tree Grocery Haul as the first video! Continue reading

A Chat With Chuck From Brand New Vegan!

We love getting to know other people in the whole food, plant-based world, and this week we had the privilege of chatting with Chuck Underwood (aka Brand New Vegan)! Chuck is one of the people we found pretty early on in our whole food, plant-based “adventure” and his recipes certainly helped us during the transition from a “standard American diet.”

Lisa and I are back with another episode of the Lisa & Jessica Show (actual name to be determined)!

We also chatted about living with people who don’t follow the same diet and started our new “Recipe Swap Club,” where we will share and review recipes we’ve tried out. Continue reading

Recipe: Brian’s Easy Rustic Bean & Onion Soup (Oil-Free, Plant-Based, Vegan)

Brian made this very simple soup one day while we were filming our “What We Eat In A Week” video and you guys demanded that he share the recipe!
