When fall starts to roll around, you won’t find me on the lookout for anything pumpkin spice, but I am ALL about the butternut squash. The problem is, I often buy them just because they look especially amazing in the fall months, but I have no plan for how to utilize them when I get home. After watching today’s video, hopefully you’ll never have that problem again! Continue reading
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the nearly four years since we discovered a whole food, plant-based diet, it’s that being prepared is THE KEY to staying on track. My worst food decisions always happen when I didn’t prepare. I like to keep some staple ingredients on hand and ready to eat so there are NO EXCUSES – and one of my favorites is kale!

As you may remember, back in July 2021, we left our apartment behind and moved in with Brian’s parents. We have A LOT of kitchen stuff, so it took us a few months to figure out what we should leave in storage vs. keep with us at his parents’ house. In today’s video, we are giving you a tour of our current kitchen setup and also showing you how we organized all of our kitchen stuff without completely taking over his parents’ space!

I love to be organized, so the spice cabinet has been a sore subject in our household for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to do something about it! Now that everything is organized, I thought I would share my process with you in hopes that I can inspire you to take on your own spice cabinet, drawer, etc. Continue reading
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
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
One of our most requested videos is always “What We Eat In A Day.” Well, this time we are going to take you along for an entire WEEK and show you what we ate for SEVEN DAYS to lose weight while following a whole food, plant-based diet! Continue reading
I’ve been wanting to do a “grocery haul” video for a while now, but it seems every time I get home from the store, there’s never enough time (or energy) to film. Well, that all changed today! It’s a new year and we’ve been really focused when it comes to sticking with our whole food, plant-based diet for the past month. We haven’t been on a proper shopping trip for a few weeks, so I made my usual rounds to Aldi, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods to stock up. Continue reading
I finally convinced Brian to let me do a “Prep With Us!” YouTube Live Stream! This could be a TOTAL disaster and I’m sure it will go on WAY longer than any of us want it to… but either way, we’ll have FUN! I’ve had a few people ask me what we’ll be prepping so they can follow along, so I thought I’d write this blog post to expand on what we’ll be doing! Continue reading
