First time I have tune into what I eat in a day (and I have many you tube subscriptions) I decided to watch yours I was not disappointed you gave me some yummy ideas…and your personality is a bonus 😊…I have a request I’m not asking for recipes but a list of ingredients would be much appreciated 😊PS love the tahini in the tomato sauce and I’m Italian 😊
Literally watch each video of yours! I can’t get enough. They bring me so much joy :) I loved both of yalls pumpkins!! Crystals was so cute and unique and yours was impressive and quintessential Halloween!!
Hi Derek! Fajitas are the sizzling strips of the bell peppers and onions (usually with beef or chicken. )I love to do mushrooms. Burrito is the actual wrap that the fajitas go into ! ❤
The whole video was great quality Derek 👌🏼Loved seeing the pumpkin carving with Crystal, the energy of you two always brings me joy and puts a smile on my face 😊
The outdoors footage was so beautiful, what a lovely country you live in. Your pumpkin carving was pretty cool. Great recipes love the breakfast will definitely try that one.
Here in the UK we have been having huge volumes of rain & flooding so your food is such a comfort ❤️ It always takes me a while to adapt to cooler, wet weather & the change in the light.
Hi Derek! Both pumpkins look awesome. You both did such a a great job! Fajitas are named after the type of beef traditionally used. Very thin sliced and seasoned beef. A plant based version can be made with anything, soy curls, mushrooms, tofu, etc. Burrito comes from Northern Mexican and is just refried beans, meat, or what ever in a flour tortilla wrap. You can make a burrito out of fajitas. I hope that makes sense. 😊
Derek, adding the tahini to your sauce is perfect. I do that too but most of the time it's been Mexican or the Asian style sauces. I hope you're still using tahini that way. I also use it instead of peanut butter in my baking. Both of your pumpkins are really great -- you're both winners!
Here's what I do when I want anything with a tomato sauce base on it. This is also quick. Just add a jar of sauce to pot then blend in a Nutri-bullet/Vitamix some water, garlic, nutritional yeast, spices/herbs if you want them plus nuts of choice. I use 1/4 c. cashews most of the time and then add that to the pot of tomato sauce and you're in business! Cuts way down on the acidity of the jarred sauces plus adds a creaminess that's delicious. Ratios are up to you plus you can also add other meat replacements like soy curls/etc.
Great meal ideas. I got Derek’s cookbook and have made several recipes. Highly recommend. Easy, practical and delicious. The sauces and dressings are so amazing. My new go to cookbook!! Thank you!
I super highly recommend toasting your pumpkin seeds while the oatmeal cooks, it makes them 1) way easier to chew on when its crisped up, and 2) just way better tasting imo
Wow! Those pumpkin are fabulous!! I saw a new way of looking at pumpkin carving that I thought was ingenious. The guy cut the bottom out instead of the top. You sit the candle on the "lid" and just put the pumpkin over top. Seemed easier.
Derek, you live in such a beautiful place, thank you for sharing! It's a blessing to live where you can appreciate the seasons! You and Crystal are adorable & my favorite RUclips couple!! But I have to say, given all of your great recipes & delish content, it hurts my heart to see you use store bought salsa/pico de gallo. :( You can make some AmaZing salsa concoctions of your own, I believe in YOU!! It is my 1 request to see you bang out a killer salsa recipe all your own, PLEASE consider this, you will rock it - no doubt! Also, no beans in fajitas v burritos & fajitas are usually served on a sizzling hot plate, as some differences in those dishes. Keep the fabulous content coming! Blessed Be!!!
Thank you, these videos NEVER get old. Always so fun watching you cook and run/lift/go for walks with Crystal. My partner says Derek's scary face pumpkin is the winner. I think I agree, lots of detail in that scary face, good technical skill :) Thank you! Crystal's cat is great though too
I have been watching your videos for 4 or 5 years. Love the content. I tried your oat recipe with blueberries instead of banana, and it was wonderful. Thank you!
Another enjoyable video. The mushroom varieties you have there is pretty amazing also , and I always enjoy the food you create. Derek , I think your pumpkin took the prize , but both of them were very well done!
I enjoy all of your videos! I needed to see what you eat in a day! I’m new here started my journey on plant based! Basically I’ve been eating either oatmeal with walnuts! Flaxseed! Organic plant protein powder! With a fruit smoothie! Ily orzo salads with chit ! I t not sure what else Ty order!! 🙏 thank you Derek for sho us how you do it! I needed this!
Both pumpkins are awesome! Seriously ❤ all the food looks so good I can't wait to try them, and that makes total sense with the tahini in the sauce those noodles are so festive too. It's fun being creative in the kitchen. 😁🙌
My husband & I watch every video and have done for a very long time! Great content with a very genuine beautiful couple! Keep em coming ❤ choosing which pumpkin 🎃 was like choosing your favourite child, not possible but were amazing!!! See you on the next one guys!
Delicious dishes (the Fajitas take the 🏆)... Canadian trees are so beautiful 🍁.. Interesting mushrooms... Both pumpkins are cool... That cat is lucky... 🥑🥦🍅
Field Roast Apple sage sausages are US $5.22 at our local Air Force Commissary, $6.99 at Kroger. It’s good stuff. I just used it today with onion and garlic and a bag of shredded coleslaw mix, all stir fried in one pan. Delish!
How you managed to find a piece of music that sounded a bit spooky for Halloween and a bit Italian, for your pasta dish, is beyond me…but, well done! The meals all looked delish…I especially have a weakness for fajitas, so that will be what I make first. Thanks, Derek! Great pumpkin-carving, as well, you two! 🎃🎃🐈🌕 I honestly can’t choose which I like more.🤷♀️
Too hard to choose. I love both of the pumpkins. I love being able to watch a fellow Canadian and being introduced to food I can actually find to try. I just bought the field roast sausages at Superstore in Calgary for $7.99.
You both are so awesome and inspiring! Great content and cinematography Derek. I'm making that mouth watering Oatmeal recipe today. Thanks! Keep doing what you do and being who you are.
All of your food looked delicious!! We are 30cm under snow here, so delightful to see the autumnal colours of BC. Sorry, Chrystal,,,,,Derek wins this time!
That just happened to me too.. the ball bearings would get stuck so I just bought a new container :) I liked both pumpkins but yours was the best Derek.
Both pumpkins are great. I can't decide which is best. I'm saying it's a tie!!!. Looked like you both were having fun carving those pumpkins- that's what was important. Great to visit you both today. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Vitamix doesn’t sell the blades anymore. The same thing happened to mine and I contacted them. They told me that the blades are part of the container now. You can’t take them off. They don’t sell them anymore. I bought a short container, I find it easier to get the food out. It’s a bit smaller in volume as well but not by that much.
I have a college degree in wildlife management and work in outdoor education with elementary kids. In college they always told us some wild mushrooms are poisons to eat, some are poisons to touch, and others are completely safe. There are a crazy variety of mushrooms and so if your not a expert I was told in college don't touch it unless your 100% sure of what it is.
if you blend up cooked red lentils it mixed in with tomato based sauce really well and helps thicken the sauce. doesnt make it creamy but its definitely worth trying if you havent already.
Whoa! Your pumpkins turned out so fun! Loved these! And re: the tahini and tomato sauce thing... Tomato cream sauce IS a thing. You're just using a vegan option. I think it sounds amazing! (Again, Derek with those sauces... Always an inspiration! : )
Both your pumpkins looked good. I buy the small sweet pumpkins & place them in my Instant Pot, and freeze them in containers. Great in dessert, pasta dishes, pancakes, risotto, etc...
I can't imagine someone not liking this guy. He has such a nice personality. Always fun to watch his content. 😊
I don’t like him. I love him 😂
I have to agree! Biggest part of why I watch! He gives off such good energy!! Keep doing what you do☺️
Agreed!! 🎉
Thank you!! Everyone is so kind to meeee! How can’t I be kind and have good vibes. 😊
First time I have tune into what I eat in a day (and I have many you tube subscriptions) I decided to watch yours I was not disappointed you gave me some yummy ideas…and your personality is a bonus 😊…I have a request I’m not asking for recipes but a list of ingredients would be much appreciated 😊PS love the tahini in the tomato sauce and I’m Italian 😊
I used to mix hummus into my tomato sauce all the time to make a sort of “vodka sauce”. So creamy & yummy mixed with peas & pasta! ❤️😋
Great Idea. Thanks for sharing.
Love how you make good food accessible while executing humility.
It’s always a joy to spend time with you, Derek and Chrystal. I loved seeing the pumpkin carvings!!! So fun! 🎃
Hard to pick. I love both 🎃! Awesome camera work Derek. You really captured the feel of fall! And as usual some great food...yummo!
I love both of your pumpkin creations almost as much as I love both of you. Thanks for the great meal options. You never fail to inspire me.
love the kitty basket - your fur babies always add so much! no contest with the pumpkins - you both tied for first place :)
Literally watch each video of yours! I can’t get enough. They bring me so much joy :)
I loved both of yalls pumpkins!! Crystals was so cute and unique and yours was impressive and quintessential Halloween!!
Good, hearty, wonderful Autumn meals that I can actually make!
Awesome! I’ll have to do a video with some soup or squash in it soon!
Hi Derek! Fajitas are the sizzling strips of the bell peppers and onions (usually with beef or chicken. )I love to do mushrooms. Burrito is the actual wrap that the fajitas go into ! ❤
They both go into a tortilla not a burrito. The burritos are usually bean based.
The whole video was great quality Derek 👌🏼Loved seeing the pumpkin carving with Crystal, the energy of you two always brings me joy and puts a smile on my face 😊
The outdoors footage was so beautiful, what a lovely country you live in. Your pumpkin carving was pretty cool. Great recipes love the breakfast will definitely try that one.
Yay! Saving for later when I can relax and enjoy! Thank you.
Another AWESOME video Derek, Thank you ! From Colorado, USA. Love food, love cooking and eating a whole food plant diet!
Here in the UK we have been having huge volumes of rain & flooding so your food is such a comfort ❤️ It always takes me a while to adapt to cooler, wet weather & the change in the light.
Same up here in Edinburgh, last weekend was quite miserable with tons and tons of rain.
I love the radiatore pasta shape!! The sauce clings the the pasta so well.
Hi Derek! Both pumpkins look awesome. You both did such a a great job!
Fajitas are named after the type of beef traditionally used. Very thin sliced and seasoned beef. A plant based version can be made with anything, soy curls, mushrooms, tofu, etc.
Burrito comes from Northern Mexican and is just refried beans, meat, or what ever in a flour tortilla wrap. You can make a burrito out of fajitas. I hope that makes sense. 😊
Derek, you did a beautiful job of filming your run and capturing the various mushrooms at the same time.
Yes, fajitas have a different seasoning mix & are traditionally made with onions & peppers. Great video. Both pumpkins were great!

You are both winners in the carving competition! You are also both lovely and talented, funny and entertaining!
The light behind you all while carving was spooky and gorgeous! I love both pumpkins!!
Wow! Those pumpkin are fabulous!! I saw a new way of looking at pumpkin carving that I thought was ingenious. The guy cut the bottom out instead of the top. You sit the candle on the "lid" and just put the pumpkin over top. Seemed easier.

I love both of your pumpkin creations..can't pick just 1 of them. You guys rock. Love your content.
Tie for the pumpkin carving! Both awesome!!

Your content is always incredible! Love the cinematography! 😄
I have been watching your videos for 4 or 5 years. Love the content. I tried your oat recipe with blueberries instead of banana, and it was wonderful. Thank you!

I love the video showing close ups of the mushrooms as you ran through the forest. Awesome work!!!
Wow both pumpkin look amazing. 🎃🎃 My daughter craved a ghost 👻🎃 pumpkin & it came out so good.
Another enjoyable video. The mushroom varieties you have there is pretty amazing also , and I
always enjoy the food you create. Derek , I think your pumpkin took the prize , but both of them were
very well done!
Your videos are awesome! I love the way you put healthy meals together, and you are so energetic. Thanks for the inspiration!
Rofl! It snaps! He’s so excited, lol. Great recipes. The last pumpkin I craved, I turned into pumpkin pie(craved the pi sign into it).
I absolutely love these “what I eat in a day” videos! I think both of your pumpkins were great. 😊
I enjoy all of your videos! I needed to see what you eat in a day! I’m new here started my journey on plant based! Basically I’ve been eating either oatmeal with walnuts! Flaxseed!

both pumpkins are so creative !
Both pumpkins are awesome! Seriously ❤ all the food looks so good I can't wait to try them, and that makes total sense with the tahini in the sauce those noodles are so festive too. It's fun being creative in the kitchen. 😁🙌
Love all the recipes and will try them all within the next week. Great pumpkin carving but the cat is my favorite. It’s sweet and not scary.
Another awesome video. Great recipes and nature walks. And here for that plot twist arts and crafts - I am inspired.
Both pumpkins awesome! Both of you are talented. Always enjoy your videos.
Both pumpkins are equally awesome! Much better than what I could do! Love watching you guys!!
My husband & I watch every video and have done for a very long time! Great content with a very genuine beautiful couple! Keep em coming ❤ choosing which pumpkin 🎃 was like choosing your favourite child, not possible but were amazing!!! See you on the next one guys!
Tahini with tomato sauce and plant based milk (and lots of pepper, nooch and garlic) actually makes a rosée sauce!
The colors of that tree are incredible!! Sooo pretty ❤
3:28
I love this, so thoughtful ❤
Great video, as always. Thanks for sharing your awesome recipes with us 🙌
Liked the running & mushroom segment.
My favorite kind of vlog. My Vitamix is still going strong.
Delicious dishes (the Fajitas take the 🏆)... Canadian trees are so beautiful 🍁.. Interesting mushrooms... Both pumpkins are cool... That cat is lucky... 🥑🥦🍅
Another great video!! You have style, joy, energy and love! Thank you for everything!

Oh, that poor dog!! 🥺
Thank you for these videos. Always love when I get a notification of a video from you! 🎊
Hi guys! So, I was quite impressed with Crystals pumpkin but Dereks scary one is my favourite. Happy 🎃 Halloween
Both of the pumpkins are fabulous!
Loved seeing all the shrooms on your run! 🍄🍄✨✨
Great pumpkin carvings, guys! I have to call a tie though. Both so good! Great pumpkins, great recipes. Thank you!
I love the "look both ways" on the track when I don't think anything runs on the Vancouver Island tracks anymore :P
Love the tahini with tomato sauce idea. Thanks
That oatmeal looks so good. Gave me some ideas. I love all the mushrooms.
Great job on the pumpkin carvings!
The pumkins were so different, you are both winners! Nice food!
Another great video. The pumpkins were a fun touch. I loved them both. Meals were all amazing looking.
You both won because you both did an awesome job and you had so much fun ❤❤❤. Love your videos 🎉
Too hard to choose. I love both of the pumpkins. I love being able to watch a fellow Canadian and being introduced to food I can actually find to try. I just bought the field roast sausages at Superstore in Calgary for $7.99.

OMG I have to try that pasta sauce trick! Thanks Derek!
Great Pumpkins! Great food! Great peeps!
That fajita/veg mix looks delicious. I'm imagining that blended into a soup served with kidney or black beans 🍜🍲
The pasta dish looks amazing!
I dig your videos! I'm not vegan but they're very inspiring! I also love when you add the vlog style to them like with this one 👍
Both pumpkins looked great.
That just happened to me too.. the ball bearings would get stuck so I just bought a new container :) I liked both pumpkins but yours was the best Derek.
We always add hummus to our tomato pasta sauce now- makes it all creamy and tangy, delicious! 😋
I love both pumpkins ❤ And your new title for me is chief. Thanks for all you and Crystal do.
Both pumpkins are great. I can't decide which is best. I'm saying it's a tie!!!. Looked like you both were having fun carving those pumpkins- that's what was important. Great to visit you both today. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Fantastic video! Will be trying these recipes. Much appreciated Derek and Crystal! ❤❤
Thank you for the delicious meals and the scenic run! I loved both pumpkins, so it's a tie! 🎃🎃
I was told by Vitamix themselves, if you completely dry your pitcher, it won't become foggy/cloudy.
Pumpkins turned out so good
Wow you both did a great job on the pumpkins!
Both pumpkins were awesome!!!!🧡🐈⬛🎃
Vitamix doesn’t sell the blades anymore. The same thing happened to mine and I contacted them. They told me that the blades are part of the container now. You can’t take them off. They don’t sell them anymore. I bought a short container, I find it easier to get the food out. It’s a bit smaller in volume as well but not by that much.
I couldn’t possibly choose a winning pumpkin because they are both so COOL! Good job, both of you!
Beautiful mushroom footage from your run.
Both pumpkins looked great but I have to say, Derek's takes the cake. Love it and that pasta for dinner looked delicious ❤ you 2!
You always immensely inspire, thanks so much 😊
You two are amazing carving those pumpkins! They both look spooky

Use those pumpkin seeds for making pumpkin seed milk..
They're the best.. you must try em out..
Wow, the oatmeal, ooooh, looks like artwork.
