Please don’t change anything you do! Your videos bring my mom and I together once a week and we usually cook one or two meals from these videos. Your personality has helped both my mother and I overcome our depression and get control of our overall health. Maybe you don’t realize how special your videos are, but I’m pretty sure they’re why I survived the pandemic. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me and my family.
Thank you! What a kind thing to say about someone. I have my down days and am not blind to what is happening out there, it stresses the heck out of me too. I know by helping people get healthy and bringing good vibes and positivity to those around me, it's doing a little something to make the world better and that get's me STOKED!
Totally agree. Derek is "cheer me up time". Found Derek because vegan & muscles, stayed because of radiating positivity (and because he is kinda downgrading.. ehhh as in.... not flashing... ) the fantastic body .
"Shout out to farmers. They deserve a lot more respect than they get." Yes! You are the best!! So kind and sincere. I love your videos as much for the food as the goodness and positivity.
Favourite line of whole video was when you backed up and said “oh yeah, mmmm, I love food”. Don’t change a thing with your videos. I love the taste tests at the end. You and Crystal are a little bit of fresh air. Keep up the great work.
You’re getting quite a chorus on this one and I’ll join in. I love these videos! Healthy easy tasty food, getting some work done, exercise, getting to know your own local nature spots, time enjoying pets, and time spent with the people you love and appreciate… these videos are wonderful reminders that having a good “full day of eating” is in reach for all of us.
Two things. First from watching Food Network I've learned it's basically mandatory to try the food and let people know how it tastes. I also love that you are honest about it Second I've made a bean salad similar to the one Crystal made only added diced bell peppers, onions, frozen corn, and chopped kale and ate it with tortilla chips and she's right it does work great that way, I've heard it called "Texas Caviar"
I have been without frozen bananas when I was looking to make a smoothie & found a great substitute. I like to have steamed sweet potatoes I keep in the refrigerator to have ready to go. I used 1/2 one in place of the banana. It was fabulous! Very creamy, smooth & sweet. I left the peel on it blended with no problem. Steamed but very cold sweet potato, maybe give that a try at least once
Interesting you mentioned that. I was just googling whether you could put sweet potato in a smoothie the other day because someone gave me three large sweet potatoes and I was trying to figure out what I could do with them. Thanks for the validation!
Derek and Crystal, while I may also enjoy other youtube content, I know in the back of my mind that those peoples values do not align with mine. They may make me giggle or give me enjoyment in some way (not that yours dont) but there is always some sort of sourness or dissonance if that makes sense. That is why your channel is my favorite. I always feel happy and encouraged while watching your videos. Even though we've never met I feel like we are friends in some way. Thank you for everything you've done for me and others. I am proud of you both. Keep it up and never change. Peace from Portland.
Thank you! this comment has really made my day and I am happy to hear that my videos have such an impact on you. Thank you so much for watching, it means a lot to me.
Once again a beautiful well thought out vid.you & crystal light up the screen & I love both your sense of adventure & the taste testing you don't show too little or too much,just perfect & the scenery is amazing I look forward to those snippets out in nature.thank you for taking us along for the ride & walk.& I absolutely love that you show & discuss a little bit of all the aspects of living a healthy happy life,the nutrition,the exercise,the recipes & amazing food.the garden & pets.💕🌿🌻🍇🍐🌽🍍🍉🍒🍏 Love & best wishes to you & crystal,from Australia 🌞🇦🇺
Very hot in Seattle today...going up to 99F (37C). Thanks for sharing your walks, I felt cooler watching you swim. Oh what a beautiful bowl Derek. You inspire me to try new ways to make vegan food even better.
I don't know how you are able to continuously put out quality video's. This was informative entertaining and positive. I appreciate your channel so much.
O gosh..you guys live in heaven 😭😭😭😭😭...i wanna be there.. o how i love everything about that place...berries , waterfall , river , stones and trees ... everything.. O gosh.. you guys are so blessed
I just started using the stems when I have big leafy greens -- such as kale, collards, chard, etc. -- that will be going into whatever it is I'm making at the time. If you look at those stems, they look and feel a lot like celery, perhaps a bit harder. So here's what I do: I remove the leaves and chop them to whatever preference I'm in the mood for. With the stems, I bunch them together like green onions, and then I very finely dice, or dice as small as I can get them. I then cook them like I would celery; they're great in stews and casseroles. I love that I'm not wasting any of the plant.
For the chard stems I cut them up into 2 inch pieces and add them to my veggie scraps freezer bag to make homemade veggie stock. Also tell us more about that beautiful sauerkraut you made and how to make it. Everything is so colorful and looks amazing. Love your content and I've been watching and subscribed for years. Keep showing the cats too!
Came here to say this! I keep all my veggie scraps for broth. Kale stems, herb stems, carrot peels, onion and garlic skins, celery leaves, mushroom stems that are too tough, whatever!! I reuse an old bread bag and just fill it up with these scraps in the freezer. When it's full, I make broth!
I know I’m commenting on all your old videos, but I only found you guys recently. I love the nature, showing us your hiking trails and waterfalls, etc. love the easy and colorful dishes you make, you’re a real inspiration! TY!! 🌎☮️🌱🦋🍄
Great idea about cooking the beet greens and not wasting them. I believe in eating the entire vegetable because I’d like to think there’s always nutrition in every part.
Hi, my favorite couple 💑 . I enjoyed your video as always. I wish I lived near a mini waterfall with rushing water. All the meals look sumptuous. I will be trying Crystal's bean salad. Thank you for sharing your day. 🥰😊🥰
You mentioned not having frozen banana. You know, I use frozen zucchini chunks and that really makes my smoothies super creamy. And, no, you don't really taste them. Oh, and also frozen avocado chunks work well, too! But it's also a great way to cut the sugar, if you're into that. And a great way to get in more veg! And, Derek, your dinner was definitely one of your better ones! (And they're all gorgeous!) But I really loved the way you just do little bits of things to add variety, texture, and flavour. Beautiful!
The BEST part is the tasting after the cooking....we are waiting for the reaction!! My (Ukrainian) family freezes those gorgeous beet greens (just wash whole and put in an air tight storage container) if there are too many to eat when fresh. Then we stuff them with rice, sautéed onion and seasonings - salt, pepper, dill. Top with a bit of oil, vegan butter, or cream replacement (oat milk) and bake until the greens are soft and rice is heated through...delicious!!
Have your health care provider test you for Ulnar Elbow Entrapment. Don't let them confuse it with carpal tunnel, and tennis elbow they are very different from UEE. You have to have a nerve conduction test to diagnose UEE correctly. Good luck my friend.
That you try the recipes sorta makes me feel like I'm there with my friend like I would be with my friends, laughing and enjoying ourselves and great food.
You are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. Been to BC once and I don’t think I ever said OMG so many times in a row in 2weeks because the scenery was breathtaking. And you are of course an amazing chef, even though you are not a pro (but well good enough to be one). 😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏
Beets and beet greens are among my favorite veg to grow and eat. Chop up the greens and stems and sauté them with balsamic vinegar and raisins. Outstanding.
It’s so hot here in the Deep South, I’m definitely going to add this bean recipe to my arsenal! It looks so cool at the river, thanks for taking us along. I love the recipe with the beets & lentils, also. Thanks for all your tips!
We call that bean salad Cowboy Caviar! We use tortilla chips sometimes but, I’ve definitely eaten it as is! Yum! That river is gorgeous. I love Hiking with my family.
Best content creator on YT. Awesome nature where you guys live!!!!!! Your body looks more than hot!! Always feel so motivated making vegan meals after watching yours! Thanks so much Derek, much love ❤️
For the beet stems: you can pickle them, add to soups, or sauté them with the greens. Great video, I enjoyed your positive energy & how you incorporate getting into nature.
Starting from your first video and going over all your vids again Derek! Love them! About to get my nutrition and workout on. Like many Ive had some major life changes in the past year or so and your vids always keep me grounded. Thanks again for your time, effort and work with everyone. Best! Joe
Delicious good and awesome adventure as always! Thanks for taking us along, I always enjoy your content! And love the mini reviews of your recipes at the end! ❤️
I just chop up the beet greens and stems together and sauté/steam. Love seeing your outdoor adventures as well, so jealous of your easy access to these areas!! Keep making the videos. Food, fitness, outdoors.. all of it!
Lately I've been in a funk and its been hard to want to put effort into making healthy meals and I end up eating vegan chicken patties and fries and ramen a lot...but these videos really help to inspire me that healthy meals can be easy and quick to make. Thanks Derek and Crystal!
Man, you topped off that killer day with the ultimate flex -- no beet-slicing spray-back 🙌🏼💪🏼 I often make a similar thing to Crystal's bean salad, but I just do a can/two of beans, a jar of drained salsa (liquid reserved), and some tvp (that I rehydrate using the salsa liquid + more liquid/seasoning as needed); I usually top it with furikake & nutritional yeast. I appreciate your immediate food commentary! I always use my beet stems & greens. For the stems, I either chop them or cut them into matchsticks. From there, I can freeze them, sauté them (usually with fresh ginger and juice from an orange -- I think orange juice is the best citrus pairing for beets), or I roast them with some garlic & salt. You never show it, but I really hope you and Crystal wear/reapply sunscreen! (No amount of healthy diet can fully counter the damage that UV rays do to your skin.)
Your what I ate today videos are a god send and inspiration. Recently started eating fully plant based. Your inspiring cooking has gotten rave reviews from my household. Tahini dressing Is a game change!!! Much love!
Every time you post these adventure videos I want to pack up and move to Parksville. It’s so beautiful! Thanks to you and Crystal for your great energy and videos 💖
STEMS! I added some asparagus, put them in a bowl, and added a drizzle of oil, to help the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt stick. Air Fry and SUPER ENJOY
The chard stems are good for juicing...or...maybe for those cooking...cut small and add to your lentils or rice...or stirfry, or toss into the salad... Their flavor adds a nice flavor and salty element I find. Great nature. Cute cats.
My gosh, Vancouver Island is a stunning place to live and play! It was nice that you had such a beautiful place to cool off since your weather was so hot. Good for Crystal getting into that frigid water, too. Your food is always inspiringly healthy and colourful, and I appreciate when you and Crystal taste it and give your opinion!🌸👏😃

What a great idea, cook one of the meals with your Mom 👏😍
You should also try little adventures like these, it's healthy to get outside and watch the splendor of nature ☺️
❤️
They are great folks for sure
That's amazing!! 🥰
This guy just RADIATES positive energy. Very refreshing in such stressful times. Thanks for what u do brotha !🤙

Also more of Cristal.
Totally agree. Derek is "cheer me up time". Found Derek because vegan & muscles, stayed because of radiating positivity (and because he is kinda downgrading.. ehhh as in.... not flashing... ) the fantastic body .
you can even see in his eyes how positive he is. i love watching his videos always puts me in a good mood!
Well said :)
"Shout out to farmers. They deserve a lot more respect than they get." Yes! You are the best!! So kind and sincere. I love your videos as much for the food as the goodness and positivity.
I'm not even vegan, but I will definitly add more vegan meals in my diet!
Your full day of eating vids are some of my favourite vids on RUclips. They're so inspiring and uplifting 💪🙌
“God, i love food”.... so spontaneously... loved the video! The tiny foraging part is always so interesting...
The river was spectacular! Im so glad that you can swim and stay cool! We have the sea, you have the river! Enjoy the summer! Love from Greece!
Favourite line of whole video was when you backed up and said “oh yeah, mmmm, I love food”. Don’t change a thing with your videos. I love the taste tests at the end. You and Crystal are a little bit of fresh air. Keep up the great work.

Love your food tasting reactions! Beautiful water scape! 👍👍
Thank you so much Crystal for this recipe! I love the ingredients. And I love watching your Simnett Nutrition podcasts! Thank you!!!
I totally agree! I’m always so disappointed when someone doesn’t review their own food. I love your food reviews!
Two things. First from watching Food Network I've learned it's basically mandatory to try the food and let people know how it tastes. I also love that you are honest about it
Second I've made a bean salad similar to the one Crystal made only added diced bell peppers, onions, frozen corn, and chopped kale and ate it with tortilla chips and she's right it does work great that way, I've heard it called "Texas Caviar"

Great idea! I think this would be fun to experiment with white/Hawaiian or purple sweet potatoes!!
I will definitely try it sometime! I bet it's delicious.
Sounds awesome
Interesting you mentioned that. I was just googling whether you could put sweet potato in a smoothie the other day because someone gave me three large sweet potatoes and I was trying to figure out what I could do with them. Thanks for the validation!
Oh yummy,that would be nice with some pumpkin pie spices & plant milk for a delicious treat.

You've got such beautiful seemingly untouched nature around you. So enviable. 😲
That's why when your active ,so many options to stay in shape, with minor injuries. 🍺

You are so welcome!
The beet green stems are amazing steamed or added to ingredients to make homemade veggie broth! Same taste as chard stems but slightly
sweeter!
Came here to say this! I keep all my veggie scraps for broth. Kale stems, herb stems, carrot peels, onion and garlic skins, celery leaves, mushroom stems that are too tough, whatever!! I reuse an old bread bag and just fill it up with these scraps in the freezer. When it's full, I make broth!
Keeping it light and cold meals and salad r the way to go when it’s so hot 🥵 out y’all are amazing 🤩
We're in the hottest weeks of the year here in Seoul, Korea too. But luckily there is plenty of air-con here. Loved your video!
I know I’m commenting on all your old videos, but I only found you guys recently. I love the nature, showing us your hiking trails and waterfalls, etc. love the easy and colorful dishes you make, you’re a real inspiration! TY!! 🌎☮️🌱🦋🍄
Thank you! Welcome to the channel. 😊 Weather is getting nicer here so almost time for more outdoor videos!
Great idea about cooking the beet greens and not wasting them. I believe in eating the entire vegetable because I’d like to think there’s always nutrition in every part.
Agree about the tasting! It is so weird when people don’t taste their food in the video.
I liked your videos before. But now that u made a can’t hardy wait reference a fan for life!
Hi, my favorite couple 💑 . I enjoyed your video as always. I wish I lived near a mini waterfall with rushing water. All the meals look sumptuous. I will be trying Crystal's bean salad. Thank you for sharing your day. 🥰😊🥰
Thank you for cheering me up 😊😊
Nice day for you and Christel, the water pools are Beautiful 🌞. In NZ lots of rain and wind not alot of sunny days😊
That swimming hole looks amazing, I love your outdoor segments as well as your recipes! Thank you!

I WISH I lived near that river. It looks so amazing this time of year when even the pacific northwest is HOT!
That river is breathtaking 😍
It being so hot. I bet Jumping in the river was really refreshing even though it was cold. I always enjoy these videos.
Yes it was Mel! Very refreshing
The BEST part is the tasting after the cooking....we are waiting for the reaction!!

That smoothie looked amazing with the ginger and turmeric
Love me some river-action!!! And Derek's comment, "God, I love food!" LOL-THE BEST! Keep it up.
That you try the recipes sorta makes me feel like I'm there with my friend like I would be with my friends, laughing and enjoying ourselves and great food.
I Just love this channel ❤
I love that you guys live so much in nature. I want that so bad.
You are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. Been to BC once and I don’t think I ever said OMG so many times in a row in 2weeks because the scenery was breathtaking. And you are of course an amazing chef, even though you are not a pro (but well good enough to be one). 😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏
LOVE how this entire video is so eco conscious with the vegan food ofc, nature, un wasteful cooking, etc:))))
i watch you every week. Love the outings, the fitness advice and of course the delicious vegan food.
Beets and beet greens are among my favorite veg to grow and eat. Chop up the greens and stems and sauté them with balsamic vinegar and raisins. Outstanding.
Just love when you take us out through the woods and water! Don’t change a thing.
It’s so hot here in the Deep South, I’m definitely going to add this bean recipe to my arsenal! It looks so cool at the river, thanks for taking us along. I love the recipe with the beets & lentils, also. Thanks for all your tips!

You are so sweet together, get on very well. Simnett is always happy, while I love Cristal's joyful laughing. Lovely summer salad, too
Taste test in the end is real nice! Rest of the video to, always a motivating and uplifting part of my day!
Best content creator on YT. Awesome nature where you guys live!!!!!! Your body looks more than hot!! Always feel so motivated making vegan meals after watching yours! Thanks so much Derek, much love ❤️
Thank you so much Monique!
Wow! I've never done garlic on beet greens. I usually just wilt and put vinegar on them!
Lol the end!
Great contest. Loved the nature tour once again. The mea.s looked 👌
Loved the look of that bean salad 🫘 So great to have some 5mins meal ideas! X
For the beet stems: you can pickle them, add to soups, or sauté them with the greens. Great video, I enjoyed your positive energy & how you incorporate getting into nature.
Beet greens xD in Poland we call this (especially the young leaves) botwina and we make salads and soups out of it. You should try some :)
Starting from your first video and going over all your vids again Derek! Love them! About to get my nutrition and workout on. Like many Ive had some major life changes in the past year or so and your vids always keep me grounded. Thanks again for your time, effort and work with everyone. Best! Joe
Delicious good and awesome adventure as always! Thanks for taking us along, I always enjoy your content! And love the mini reviews of your recipes at the end! ❤️
Love seeing you taste the food and give your honest thoughts!! Don’t stop 🫶🏽
I remember watching this a year ago. Watching again because I got the link in the newsletter.
Take some cutting from the thimble berry and grow them!
I love the taste testing. It's real, and that's why we love you. ❤️
I just chop up the beet greens and stems together and sauté/steam.
Love seeing your outdoor adventures as well, so jealous of your easy access to these areas!!
Keep making the videos. Food, fitness, outdoors.. all of it!
I use to live on Thimbleberry Rd! I had no idea it was an actual berry.
That hole in the river is called a solution pocket. Very common in the desert southwest.
Lately I've been in a funk and its been hard to want to put effort into making healthy meals and I end up eating vegan chicken patties and fries and ramen a lot...but these videos really help to inspire me that healthy meals can be easy and quick to make. Thanks Derek and Crystal!
Man, you topped off that killer day with the ultimate flex -- no beet-slicing spray-back 🙌🏼💪🏼
I often make a similar thing to Crystal's bean salad, but I just do a can/two of beans, a jar of drained salsa (liquid reserved), and some tvp (that I rehydrate using the salsa liquid + more liquid/seasoning as needed); I usually top it with furikake & nutritional yeast.
I appreciate your immediate food commentary!
I always use my beet stems & greens. For the stems, I either chop them or cut them into matchsticks. From there, I can freeze them, sauté them (usually with fresh ginger and juice from an orange -- I think orange juice is the best citrus pairing for beets), or I roast them with some garlic & salt.
You never show it, but I really hope you and Crystal wear/reapply sunscreen! (No amount of healthy diet can fully counter the damage that UV rays do to your skin.)
Love your videos. Your hummus recipe has been my go to for a while now. Don't buy store bought anymore.
That swimming hole looks AMAZING!!
Great meals, good vibes, as every sunday! ;)
The amount of times I’ve watched this guy make this smoothie is ridiculous but I’m here for it
Thank you so much you guys are awesome
It looked like a great day. I've never wanted to go vegan but you got me close today it all looked really good. Great video.
Thank you so much!
Ha, that movie, Can’t Hardly Wait, love it! Love the recipes. Thanks for sharing.
Love all your videos! The bike ride and river shots were amazing!! Thank you :)
Your what I ate today videos are a god send and inspiration. Recently started eating fully plant based. Your inspiring cooking has gotten rave reviews from my household. Tahini dressing
Is a game change!!! Much love!
Man!! What a beautiful place you live in. I’m super jealous over here :) thank you both for bringing us along on your beautiful, healthy day!
I love the bean salad. Yum
Nice swimming spot. 👍🏼 beautiful BC
I always love your meals, and that beautiful, scenic, river.
Love you both. Crystal love your laugh. Keep up the positivity you guys are great.
fabulous meals again and I do like seeing some of yr awesome nature footage, very pretty country
Beautiful scenery! Thanks for taking us along!
That swimming spot looks wonderful! Enjoy!!
Hey Derek! since you have elbow pain, and many freezing water around, you should try a couple of sessions there to reduce inflamation!
Next time try tossing those beet stems in a smoothie. I like to use the beet greens and stems in smoothies with beets, bananas, and berries. So good!
Just need a nice beer with that. 🍺🍺 Love the videos . Training in hot weather is fantastic 🍺
Every time you post these adventure videos I want to pack up and move to Parksville. It’s so beautiful! Thanks to you and Crystal for your great energy and videos 💖
I didn't know there was such a thing as risoni! I'll have to look for that. Thanks, Derek!
STEMS! I added some asparagus, put them in a bowl, and added a drizzle of oil, to help the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt stick. Air Fry and SUPER ENJOY
The chard stems are good for juicing...or...maybe for those cooking...cut small and add to your lentils or rice...or stirfry, or toss into the salad... Their flavor adds a nice flavor and salty element I find. Great nature. Cute cats.
That dinner especially looks amazing!
Yes, you definitely need to taste what you cooked and let us know! 🙂
Beautiful People. Very life energizing content. You bring great pleasure to others. Well Done as usual. Thank you.
My gosh, Vancouver Island is a stunning place to live and play! It was nice that you had such a beautiful place to cool off since your weather was so hot. Good for Crystal getting into that frigid water, too.
Your food is always inspiringly healthy and colourful, and I appreciate when you and Crystal taste it and give your opinion!🌸👏😃
