- I love re-creating foods I used to eat, but making them vegan and healthier! In this video I make some smoked salmon using carrots, a vegan BLT and the BEST vegan nachos you are ever going to have!
Just because you go vegan doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the flavours that you used to know and love.

My family (I'm the only vegan) has smoked salmon with all of the fixin's in your video every Christmas morning. Can't wait to try your carrot version!!! Also....nachos are everything.....
Instead of the crumbled tofu you should try crumbling tempeh and marinating it in buffalo sauce. Also add tofutti sour cream 👌
hey...I'm from Brazil, vegan about 6 years.....and there's a meal my father used to preprare every week. I loved it! It was rice (sautéed with garlic and salt), braised chicken (thigh and drumstick) with potatoes and carrots (obviously everything prepared with a good amount of onion and garlic, like all Brazilian food) and also tomato (and tomtato sauce).
You are such a good person. 🤍 Just want to say that your warmth and kindness glows from you, and I appreciate every video!
Agreed ❤
This comment is about the Thanksgiving stuffing recipe you folks laid on us a couple of years ago, and which I've made each Thanksgiving and Christmas ever since. It is so well-received, my little granddaughter even asked to have it prepared for her in Japan last year, where she and her parents were visiting family over Christmas! I felt compelled to write as I have just finished making it. This year I also hit on the bright idea of putting the pecans through my high-powered blender, reasoning that it would get that flavour to pervade the dish even more. It worked like a hot damn! Thank you so much, Crystal and Derek, on behalf of myself and my family!
oh than you should also try his "meatloaf" recipe! it is very tasty=)
Thanks for the recommendation. I love the green bean and rice casserole from Mommy Vegan on YT and make it every Thanksgiving.
Hey Simnett,
First of all, you're amazing and I thank you so much for everything you do. I've watched you since WAY back, when Harry was still alive and you were justifying feeding him regular cat food since he was a carnivore.
I have never fully transitioned into a plant based diet, but you have helped me incorporate so many micronutrient dense options into my meals that I would have never considered before if not for your content.
I've watched you for shy of a decade it feels, give or take 5 - 6 years, and I still watch your content consistently. Thanks for everything you do!
He’s so inspiring, helpful, and vibrant. Watching his videos feel like such a treat 🙌🏻
You can also use roasted bell pepper for a salmon substitute. The texture is more similar than carrots in my opinion and you can just get a jar and marinate it, saves some cooking time. For the TLT, you could add beet juice to the tofu for the colour.
Looks yummy! I got to say, I love the fact that you eat BREAD!!!! I know not everybody can, but many WFPB influencers got the 'hate on' for bread. I buy the same sprouted bread that you get at Costco, and love it with almond butter and bananas!!!
BLTs made with fried dulse as the bacon is yummy too!
fried dulse? I have never heard of that... sounds amazing!
@@Simnettnutrition soo crunchy if pan fried in a skillet until brown, read it on the back of the Maine Sea Coast brand package
I would love to see you try to veganize pop corn shrimp, that was my most favorite.
Interesting! thank you for the suggestion!
While slicing those carrots in the mandolin, all that was missing was the music from the Hitchcock's shower scene in Psycho 😆
I eat comfort foods and they are: whole wheat bread, and then whole wheat pasta with black beans. I eat either of these foods every single day. I also add vegetables to get all nutrient, and throw in oatmeal and fruits.
The recipes I have are simple and I just stick to simple. There's some foods I avoid that I overeat and peanuts are like that.
Woooo everything look soooo good👌. You forgot the sour cream, pico de gallo and the Guacamole 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day 👊
pan fried bbq soy curls on your nachos. incredibly tasty
We make sandwiches we call BLOATs: (veggie) bacon, lettuce, onion, (smashed) avocado and tomatoes. So good!
haha sounds amazing!
You’re recipe sounds amazing! I’ll have to try it
Great recipes, I've tried other versions of the Lox carrot where the marinade includes some capers plus the brine from capers jar and fresh dill, its quite nice, however your recipe has more liquid smoke in it, which I think would work well.😊
eeeeeek use the finger-saver with the mandolin my friend!! 😱😱 (these recipes all look amazing tho, i wanna try the carrot lox)
Yum to all three meals, especially the layered nachos - double the deliciousness!! 😋👍
Potato peeler always works for me! We also make cashew cream cheese to go with!
These recipes look amazing & creative 🤤😋
The smoked tofu looks fantastic. Nachos !!!!!
The Daiya cheese is the bomb! I put it on my eggplant bake and enchiladas! 😋
Another amazingly delish video, thanks! I’m excited to try the vegan “lox” - so clever!! I’d add some tasty homemade salsa to those nachos tho, pickled jalapeños aren’t enough heat for me! That being said, I’d love to see your vegan version of shepard’s pie, a classic comfort food! Blessed Be!!
Rainbow Plant Life has an awesome shephard's pie recipe...you have to tweak it a bit because she uses quite a bit of oil, but that's not hard to do. It is my favourite plant based version, so far.
@@mommaz820 Thanks for the lead. Her channel is packed full of WFPB goodness, so I'll mos def check it! 🙏🦋
The only meat I still miss like crazy is popcorn shrimp. Any shrimp, really. I would love to hear your take on it! :)
Them nachos look fire man! good ideas in general👌👌👌. "That's all one nacho... it's attached! it's all one nacho...." 😄🤙🤙🤙
Oooo, yum! These look great- now I need to make some nachos 😍
All three of your recipes look scrumptious! Thanks, Derek - I'll be trying them asap!
Do you have any self care tips after getting sick with covid? How long do you wait with training again?
I just finished eating but my mouth is watering from these recipes
I’m definitely trying the nachos recipe!
Nachos look 🔥 ty for the inspiration ❤
Great job, looks delish!
those nachos look so good. WOuld be interesting to try the carrot salmon too!
Can't wait to try these! All three look good. 😊
Everything looks great!
these look delicious ! thank you for sharing ❤
Yum! Always love all of your food.
These recipes are the best! Can’t wait to get the ingredients for this!❤
Those all look delicious! I made some banging nachos recently but I'm going to try your recipe ASAP!
Adding to my grocery list! 😊
All look delicious!
OMG, those nachos look amazing!!! Definitely testing that out.
The nachos look fantastic! Everything does!
Beast Mode Nachos👏🏾 Lasagna would be yummy to see💃🏾
I have great vegan lasagna recipe on my channel!
Love all three recipes! You are so creative! Do you have a vegan hack for carne asada??
Spinach and artichoke dip
I loove what you're doing so much!! Keep it up, you're making a big difference!
Much love from Germany!!
Been following you for almost 5 years now. I LOVE your videos and you've helped me so much. I'd love to see your take of a Vegan Reuben sandwhich!
I’ve made the TLT before but will definitely be making the nachos ! Looks super good! I was never a fan of salmon before going vegan but that’s pretty cool making it with carrots!
I do like my nachos a little more moist so I would use salsa also. These are so satisfying. Thanks for caring.
I love TLT’s, with a side of roasted potatoes, yum, yum. ❤
Hi Derek!! So my favorite comfort food is easily lasagna, and I recently made the vegan lasagna recipe from the cook book "minimalist baker's everyday cooking" by dana Schultz and it was SO delicious! I even gave some to my mom and grandma who aren't vegan and they loved it just as much as regular lasagna! You have to try it!! I love your videos sm btw, thank you for your content!
Excellent video! It made me think of a great vegan restaurant called Cornbread Cafe that recently closed down in Eugene, Oregon. They served tremendous vegan comfort food!
The irony is that most of the "meaty" flavors people enjoy are actually plant seasonings! Lol
exactly!
Sirloin steak, with eggs & new potatoes, needs only a little salt & pepper. I'm no longer going to make mild, fish curries, as the delicate flavour of the recently sourced cod/haddock is easily swamped. Chicken, fried golden in salted butter.. a snack requiring no plants. [ I do luvs me sum froot 'n' veg too! ]
Yep. It is all texture and spice.
Smoked tofu is so good. So much flavor!
It's the best!
Everyone of your recipes look’ sound delicious Derek! I need all the help because I’m new starting plant based! I am using oatmeal or whole grains cereal! Walnut
Love these recipes!! I use a smokey tempeh bacon I get from Lightlife for my BLT that is amazing!!
Oh that smoky tempeh is the bomb! So good.
You just eat it as cold slabs in it?? I still use MorningStar Farms fake bacon strips, because I’m vegetarian (although the company said they’re going to be making their products vegan soon - all it has extra in it that’s not vegan is egg whites).
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 no I cook it of course!!
I love a quiche with ham and broccoli. Still trying to find a good vegan version. I would be happy if you give it a shot :)
If you search my chickpea fritters here on YT (also a recipe in my ebook Easy Vegan Comfort Meals) it’s very similar to that. You just have to sub out some of the ingredients. Add some smoked tofu as the ham and broccoli before cooking. They are actually just so good! But it would be good to show them as a quiche too.
I loved salmon ! I ordered salmon every time I went to a restaurant! I eat eggs everyday for years! You’re recipes looked so good! And easy
Thanksgiving Green Bean Casserole!
“A freakn carrot “ Haha love you man ❤️💪👊🏻
i would like to see a video for new england style vegan clam chowder. thanks for all the great tips on fitness, nutrition, and cooking.
Ohhh cool idea!
Wow i love nacho yammy love saumon vegan i will try it for sûre thanks you so much for charing 🎉
Good job Derek!
Thanks!
I'd love to see you make some delicious mac n cheeze!
good call! I do have a Mac n cheeze recipe in my Easy Vegan Muscle Meals ebook but I am not sure if I have ever made a video on it!
thanks =)!!! miam, LOOK SUPER DELICIOUS, Blt and nacho!!!
You did it again Derek!! I already know these are going to be my favorite nachos!!! Thank you!!! 🎉😊
Great video! You do magic🎉
Greetings from Belgium 💝🐴🌹
What great recipes! I haven't been able to find smoked tofu in Oregon though, booooo.
I've got to make those nachos and TLT 🤤
Always love your videos! I do think you're missing out on veggie cheez (made from veggies and nooch)
I think it would've made the chips soggy!
I want to make the nachos. I have never tried the smoked tofu, bit want to try.
Healthy options for vegan pepperoni, veggie "chicken" nuggets, or "meatballs". Because I have young children and they want to eat what other kids are eat
Ooo havnt had nachos in ages!
My husband is a meat-eater and is really into smoking his meat. When he does his meat, I have him throw on a couple blocks of tofu (cut in half horizontally) and... dang... so good! I don't add anything to it at all. It's great on it's own! And it's much cheaper than buying it pre-smoked. : ) As far as recipes I miss... beef stew and cornbread - and I'm doing oil-free as well. I'd love to see your take on these, Derek!
Thanks for the suggestion! Homemade smoked tofu sounds amazing!
Put some onion powder on your TLT its a game changer!
To really take the sandwich over the top is look for Cherokee Purple tomatoes, an heirloom. I ate tomato sandwiches as long as the tomatoes were available. I’ll grow my own next year.
I wish we had those kinda tomatoes available here.
Hi my favorite couple 💑. Great comfort vegan food😊
That sandwich look amazing!! *adds smoked tofu to the grocery list.
I can’t say that I miss much after several years, but a random thing I used to like was French onion soup, and it is obviously just the perfect cheese under the broiler, and I don’t know if vegan cheese is quite there yet. (But the advancement of vegan poutine cheese gives me hope!) Definitely going to try your nachos, though-they look amazing!
Great, thank You
Not sure if you've done these before, but meatloaf and sloppy joes are my choices to veganize.
Jill McKeever has a really good soy curl meatloaf recipe.
Great ideas!
that sounds unreal!
@@belindaknowles7440 I can't do soy curls. I have bad reactions to soy.
@@DH-uw3us I don’t eat soy curls a lot. Just a treat sometimes. Can you do lentils? I bet some kind of loaf could be made from them.
Agh! please get the no-cut glove for using the mandolin!!!! Don't cut your fingers. The lox is awesome! Thanks
Yum!
I still don't like the Daiya cheese. I use Heart Healthy which melts really well & tastes good. We have a vegan pizza place here in California in Grand Terrace, great vegan pizza. It's called The Vegan Korner. They also have other items. The nachos look yummy! I usually use pinto beans for mine.
Yorkshire puddings please 😍
Thank you.
Yummy as always. I'll try the salmon. A question: are there particular meals that are freezer friendly? I'll have to prep some meals for my son who is still studying and I'm looking for good ideas. Thank you very much in advance.
Most of my meals are freezer friendly I think!
@@Simnettnutrition Thank you!
I used to love croque Monsieur. Do you have a vegan version of it?
Love your videos Derek! I've been deconstructing processed foods like you to come up with my own recipes. So much easier and cheaper... Anyway, which kind of seaweed flakes did you use? Dulse? Kombu? Other?
I used a bag of mixed flaked seaweeds - but dulse would work great!
@@Simnettnutrition 🙏
Have you done a “chicken” sandwich or “burger” my hubby is actually beginning to try the vegan lifestyle after me being on it a year but he’s a huge burger, southern meat and potatoes guy lol. Potatoes are great! Lol but trying to find an excellent “burger “ for him b/c I think that and pizza are gonna w the difficult part.
TLT FTW!!
Mmmm nachos the greatest cheat meal of all time. What does everyone think is the best vegan cheese for nachos? I've been using Daiya which seems decent
Good for you. Based on the subject of this video… you must be starting to feel the cooler days of Canada starting. ‘Bacon’ can be made also with eggplant. There is a recipe at medical medium website. I never really liked the bacon anyways.
Thank you for all the work. Sincerely Hanet
Yummy 😋
Yum yum 😋
If we can't find smoked tofu, is there a way to make it ourselves?
Brilliant
Thank you! We lost electricity for four days and my capers are still sitting off to the side in their little jar in the fridge while I decide whether to toss them out or not .. they're in brine so they should be fine? but when in doubt toss it out? Any idea?
I would eat them lol
