Brian has been wanting to try out making a pesto with peas for a while now, and I have to say, I wasn’t a believer at first, but it turned out really great! While he was testing the recipe, we happened to have some Russet potatoes on hand, and when he combined the two, I knew we had to share this recipe! Continue reading
Well, Brian has done it again! He’s been experimenting in the kitchen a lot lately (especially with soups and stews) and he came up with what is now my favorite thing he’s ever made. If you’ve tried Brian’s “Super Tasty Vegan Chili,” you already know that he knocked it out of the park with that one. But I think this one might be even better! Continue reading
No trip to visit our favorite scientist Ray Cronise would be complete without at least one experiment! In the final video from our trip to Huntsville, we tested out Miracle Berry Tablets and found out just how sweet fruit can be. Continue reading
Let’s be honest… we weren’t going all the way to Huntsville, Alabama to visit Ray Cronise without tasting some of his amazing food. You might not know that Ray is actually a Matthew Kenney and Blue Lotus Culinary graduate. He definitely knows his way around the kitchen and he kept us very well fed during our trip!

After nearly nine months of no travel, we decided to take a road trip to Huntsville, Alabama to visit a very special friend! And of course, we took you along with us so you can see what we ate, what we did and more. Continue reading
Fall is near and that means soup! Okay, let’s be honest, we eat soup all year long – but Brian has been working on a ton of new soup recipes for a “super secret special project” we are working on, and since summer is coming to an end, we thought this corn chowder would be a perfect recipe to share. Continue reading
The other day I was at Trader Joe’s and I got the idea to start a series called “The Krocks Try…” where we test out random things for you guys! On the first episode, we tried out three different fruit products: Very Cherry Plums, Rambutan and Watermelon Jerky. Continue reading
As long as I’ve known Brian, he has wanted me to bake him a pie for his birthday, but I never have. It has become kind of a tradition that I don’t bake him a pie, so I thought I’d continue that this year and make him a super fancy spumoni “nice” cream cake instead! Continue reading
So how did Brian get to be over 500 pounds at his highest weight anyway? In today’s video, we took the cameras outside the kitchen to Brian’s hometown of Collinsville, Illinois. He took over and shared his story in the first part of a series called “My Life At 500+ Pounds.” Watch the video to get a look back at his childhood and hear him discuss the history of his weight gain. Continue reading
We’re back with another mystery box challenge! If you remember last time, I gave Brian a bunch of pantry staples to use. This time, the entire pantry, fridge and freezer was fair game, so I picked several things that I thought might work well together… but tried not to make it TOO easy on him! I love these challenges because they really push him to come up with creative combinations he might not have thought of before. Continue reading
