Watching this video at 10pm is NOT a good idea. I'm soooo hungry. Everything you cooked looked so good! I'm going to go to the kitchen and find something to eat. :)
Awesome video; everything looked so good I had to pause it to make some dinner!! Loving your hair too, Amber…the natural silver is so sparkly and pretty!!
Great job with your weight loss. One thing you can do to cut down on washing measuring spoons & cups, is to use a food scale to weight things. IE weigh your hummus vs measuring 2 T. The meals looked great.
Hi Amber, love the videos. You don't have to lose weight. You are fine just as you are. If you want to lose weight, try intermittent fasting and Keto. I just lost 30 pounds from watching You Tube videos and not eating from 7:00 PM to noon every day. It was easy. I looked for years and finally found an answer. Good luck, Xoxo
We have a little off-road camper that we tow with a 4 WD. We have a little indoor kitchen with gas cooktop like yours. There is nothing we can’t cook in there. Your food looks so amazing and you look very happy and healthy. All the best from South Australia 🇦🇺
I made a lot of kimchi fry rice. You can do it with all you leftovers. I fry kimchi with onions,add rice and the rest of the ingredients. Spring onion, any cook meat, the list is endless. I add spinach at the end. Really yummy!
You're such a beautiful girl. Love these videos! 😁 You're teaching this 71 yr. old almost-nomad the highs, lows and lowdown of being on the road. Well. Done. And thanks!
Very informational! We are new to van life. About a month ago we sold our 40' RV and downsized into a Mercedes Sprinter van. We haven't gone out on a big trip yet; still doing our shake-out runs. We can't figure out where to store all the things we need to cook. We can fit a large 8 qt pot with lid but that's about it. We can't find a place for our frying pan (because of the handle), air fryer or Instapot. Our van seems to have less storage than most. Videos like this help give us ideas and let us know that there is hope we will be able to cook our meals in the van.
I love these type of videos!! As a person who has tried everything from WW, Atkins, keto etc. Etc. I'd like to know more about this noom. Can you do a video explaining the difference between noom and all these others and why this one is working for you? Also can you take us shopping with you? I noticed you have so many new oils and seasonings. Thanks 😊
Congratulations on your weight loss. This is such a great video. I would love to see more videos of van life cooking. You make it look so easy. Safe travels.
Thank you! So exciting to discover your channel and see a nomad eating super healthy! We are kindred spirits when it comes to food. Please consider creating an ebook cookbook. I’m not on the road yet, but I’m determined to continue eating healthy in the road. I won’t have a van - just my Prius RV - but even without an instant pot, I believe I can cook these meals. Now to replay & write down recipes...
I LOVE seeing you cook, this is my favorite video! You make wonderful meals that are balanced and full of flavor, next you’ll have to work on some latte art for the top of that amazing morning coffee!☕️
You’re a pleasure to watch since I find you real and as yourself if that makes sense to you. We do things quite similarly I see. I’ve just discovered something I find great. An induction burner. Doesn’t heat the van, uses renewable energy and is easier to cook on then gas. Yes
I looooove watching you cut up stuff and just throw it all in the pots and it comes out looking aaaammmmaaaazzzing. I absolutely love your knives set, they were perfect for cutting hard veggies and perfect for danty stuff.
I started Noom this year and love the freedom to choose any food and eating guilt free while weight slowly drops off. Love watching your van living! Thank you.
Just started watching your videos and absolutely love the cooking aspect of it. By the way love the beautiful grey streak in your hair. Looks so sophisticated. Thank you for these cooking videos and congratulations on your weight loss. Love from Northern California 💛
Congratulations on your weight loss, good for you and you look amazing for it. I also joined Noom to see if it would work for me, so far all good. You are such an inspiration Amber, thank you x
Hello to you two Lily and Amber, I am sending my sister this video as she lives in the Emerald city and I think they would love the Emerald city Salad recipe and also her wonderful husband used to have a dog named Lily who looks like the twin of your Lily. I live in Oregon and so enjoyed watching your videos of your trip up Hwy 101 and the Oregon coast ( one of my favorite places ) I love your candor, your vulnerability, your thoughtful prosaic way of expressing yourself and your story ( stories ) Thank you from all of us who are landlocked in one place for chasing your dreams and inspiring us to do so too.
I love these kinds of videos! I totally get that it's convenient to eat out....and also, you DO want to support the local economy by experiencing some meals in whichever destination you're in....but (and this is just my humble opinion), eating at home (be that sticks and bricks or on wheels) is SO much healthier...for your body, for your bank account, for the environment, and for your soul too....I give thanks, to the farmers, to the truck drivers who deliver the goods, to the store clerks, to everyone involved in me being able to put food on my plate....I give thanks before each meal (I actually only eat one meal a day....long story) because I really am grateful to everyone involved in keeping my body (and soul) fueled. With that said....I'm not in my tiny home on wheels yet (aiming for spring 2022), but I will be doing more cooking outside....like you said, there are cooking smells and in such a small interior space, I don't want my bed, for instance, to smell like my food....but also, that's one of the main reasons I'll be living in a tiny home on wheels...so I can LIVE OUT of my tiny home on wheels :-) I have just a small butane camp stove that I'll use, but I'll also be cooking over fire (the dude from Living The Vanlife uses a Solostove which I LOVE)...and actually, I've been paying attention more to what I eat knowing that I'll be living on the road in 2022, and I've realized I don't NEED to cook a lot....many things are fantastic raw :-) Congrats on the weight loss....I want to lose some weight too, heck I'm happy if I see the number on the scale go down even three pounds....every small success matters.....and in your case, 22 lbs, that's not a small success, that's a great success! Thank you for sharing Amber! :-)
@@storychasing I can't wait! Hey Amber, quick question...you've got me interested and intrigued by kimchi....I've never tried it....what's your favourite brand? I'm in Canada, but can hopefully find here whatever brand you like :-)
You are looking great! Congratulations on your 22 pounds! I’ve been using Noom since April and have lost 72 pounds. Watching how you are cooking your meals in your van has been inspiring to me to cook more instead of just eating salads, I’m not much of a cook. It’s nice to see how someone else is using the same program and is successful! Love all of your videos!
I found you about 3 weeks ago I’m loving your videos! I want so badly to do what your doing but I don’t have a van 🚐 I have car smaller so I don’t know how I could buy a van right now! Your so inspiring so for now I’ll live vicariously through you! 😁👍🏼
Hi Amber! The recipes are very inspiring! Your hair is beautiful!! btw. It shows how you can grow it out to your natural color and let it be. It's actually a very cool look on you. Wishing you and Lily all the best and happy holidays.
Yummy meals 🙃 this is so calming and relaxing to me. The first meal with the veggies 🥗 I feel like I could smell it 😂😂 might have to make that myself. Also I love how you make your own sauces and dressings from scratch! 🙃 Also oooo congrats on your weight loss! You look fantastic 🥰😍
So happy you're finding something that works for you! "Healthy" is different for everybody. Although oats, bananas, rice, soy, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, noodles, etc taste great, all are high in carbohydrate/sugar, and are mostly overly processed. Maybe re-enforce this is your opinion and experience only, and you are not offering medical and nutritional advice that may not be helpful for most people wanting improved overall metabolic health long term.. Noom is similar to Weight Watchers, you can lose weight with any diet, but cutting calories or tracking points often leads to yo-yo dieting and does not usually work long term for most people.
Amy Love 😊 Everyone is different in their approach and I have mentioned that a long with "see if this is something that resonates with you" with the free trial. This is my experience and I'm sharing that with my audience who wants to know what I'm doing. There is a lot of misinformation out there everywhere so it's always a battle to know everything, but what I do know is that I listen to my body, as we all should and see what's best for it. There isn't a one size fits all.
Congratulations for taking time to eat better and get a routine. I was shocked you could stay off grid that long…6 or 7 days. You get such a variety of veggies in your fridge. Thanks for sharing.
This video is my introduction to your channel and I love it! Thanks for sharing your health journey. You show how beautiful and delicious real food can be. Five stars!
I’ve been doing Noom for a little over a week and I literally was putting all your food into the green, yellow and red caloric density. Enjoyed your video.
@@storychasing I love it. We travel part-time in our 82 VW Westfalia. 1-3 months on the road and a couple months off. I want to cook healthier when we travel. We will be back on the road March - May.
Some of the things you're cooking I didn't think was diet food, but you're changing my perspective completely! I think I need to give this a shot myself.
I just wrote down your bowl recipes. Took a lot of pause and play. Can't wait to shop for them and try it out. Healthy! in the new year. l love your channel.
I just found your channel and I love it! Thank you so much for not having loud music in your video. This is so calming and inspiring to watch. You are my hero!
Congratulations! Suggestion, you like soy sauce, ham, salty foods will make you retain water, and raise your blood pressure. Maybe, using a little less condiment or using other options with less salt, can help you lose more weight because you won’t have water retention, and can help keep your blood pressure in check. Congratulations again on your weight loss!
Okay Amber, you must write a cookbook for weight loss. Looking Good. My travel trailer has an exhaust fan over my stove, so I'm good. Stay Beautiful and safe travels. Thanks again 🙂
Looks delicious and healthy! Keep up the good work Amber I think you’re a lovely person to watch. I’m up to date on your channel but I love watching you cook as inspiration. Anyway, don’t give up, I’m so routing for you! God has a Beautiful purpose and plan for your life!! God bless you.
You are doing so well! and I love your longer hair...it looks amazing on you and it looks healthy as well. Your video of your meals is inspiring me to change things up.
So excited for you and your journey. It’s about health more than anything. You want your body healthy. Of course we have an idea of how we want to look too but everything you’re cooking is so good for your body. For some great ideas and recipes flav city (Bobby Parish) has a great you tube channel. He even has an app to help with what he calls Bobby approved foods when you’re grocery shopping. He goes into different stores and shows you what to buy and not to buy depending on ingredients. I’ve learned so much from him. He’s been incorporating his 2 yr old daughter Rose into some videos too. She’s so adorable. Love watching you cook in the van as it shows how it can be done in a small space.
I can see your weight loss. You are doing great. I have been eating healthier and losing weight too and it is so motivating when people notice and comment. Your meals look delish. Keep up the good work.
I'm going to have to watch this video again with lots of pauses so I can write down these meal "recipes". Thanks! Love this video. Although I can't see me doing some of those meals in a minivan. I'm envious of all your powered appliances. One day I'll be in a bigger rig. But I'm keeping these recipes. Never put nori sheets in salad. So many good ideas!
Hi Amber and Lily, For some reason YT hasn’t been sending me your notifications for months but I did get this one. Don’t know what’s up w/them. Ticks me off. You’re not the only channel they either unsubbed me from or just stopped sending me the notifications for. Ugh. Want to say I have always loved your hairstyle but I especially love the silver in your bangs at the front. Gorgeous. Truly. Love the meals.please do more. Love the use of the Instant Pot & induction cooktop. Am not a nomad so am not using a butane or propane stove; my home stovetop has electric burners which are aren’t my fave. Like I said, love the IP & induction stovetop. I have looked into the “N” program (not spelling it out bc I don’t want YT to delete my comment as happens at times) but can’t afford it. If you can continue w/these meals I’d be grateful; they looked tasty & healthy. I don’t eat salmon but my husband needs to have healthy animal protein including fish (he’s on dialysis awaiting a kidney-year 5!). I eat a lot of vegan meals but the chicken ones you did, well, hmm, I think I’d eat using organic chicken. I need to continue losing weight (am at goal but want to continue), bc I need total joint replacements in both my knees; they do one then the 2nd four to six months later depending on how the 1st heals. PS Whoever wants to lose weight has their own reasons as I do above, but I must say I’ve always thought you were lovely. I did get a notification of another vid I watched when you were talking about wanting/trying to lose weight. I was confused bc I think you’re beautiful. I’m not judging you; you’re on what you consider a necessary journey & if that means we get to benefit w/more “meals in a week,” I’m sure not going to stop you-lol. Also if that means you feel healthier & happier then you have my total support. Be well. This was a lovely vlog, between the views of the delicious food and the scenery-oh my. Keep up the great work! I’ll seek out your channel if I continue to not get notifications. Do you have a typical day that you publish your vlogs? 💛🎄🌟
Hi Amber, wow...those meals certainly do look yummy. I am not much of a cook, so the faster and no cook meals is what I normally go for....but after watching this video of yours, I will definitely make the effort to do at least a little cooking.
Cooking at home is such an adventure, as there is no end to new recipes to try. Whole foods are definitely the way to go. I love finding things I can cook in my RV, so these recipes are definitely inspirational. Thanks for posting this video!!
“Where is Tiffany” sent me to your channel. I love this video and your content!! You are doing fabulous!! I have subscribed and I’m also into boondocking in my Class B RV, but new to it so I’m excited to learn from you. 🥰 stay safe!!
@@storychasing she’s a sweetheart! I’ll be seeing her very soon!! I bought the 2022 Thor Terello. Knowing nothing about RVs but knew I wanted to do something solo. On my channel I have my journey detailed. In fact I’m traveling to the west coast now. 😂 Hopefully we will get to meet someday, somehow…. 😂
I love your pink top. Ever since being on the road full time, I’ve been living in mostly t-shirts. I’m going to order one. It would be nice to have a long sleeve as well.
Good evening Amber & Lily. I hope you are having a great Saturday. I watched your video the other day, but didn't have time to comment. I think it is great how you continue with your healthy eating. I just love whole foods. I have been eating quinoa when it was dirt cheap. LOL My mother could didn't eat meat until Shake N Bake chicken came out (she grew up on a farm and never got past the processing). She instilled the love of healthy greens and whole grains in my two sisters and I. However, I would say I am the only one who truly misses healthy eating when I do without for a week ... I also love tofu, so many flavorful dishes you can make out of it. It is like mushrooms, takes on the taste of whatever it is cooked with. Keep up the great work. I admire you for not keeping unhealthy snacks available. Safe travels.
Putting dried herbs - oregano, parsley, thyme - in your salad dressing is also great!! Store your prepped dressing in your mason jar in your fridge and the herbal flavors become more pronounced. Super Tasty!!
Amber, loved your cooking video and making coffee in that cute little pot! Your weight loss really shows, you look great! Keep sharing the meals with us, Lilly is so cute! I’ve been following you for months, this is my first time to comment. Love your content! Safe travels.
Hi Amber....just found your incredible channel!...Watched a few videos now......awesome......nice to see a nomad with some years under your belt....I’m in the middle of converting my 21’ bus now and next winter I will be out there traveling and boondocking...... I myself changed my diet 3 years ago to a whole food plant based diet....my focus was eating healthy and not about losing weight.....losing weight is an automatic side effect!.....I lost 80 lbs in one year.....however not once did I focus on losing weight....i weighed myself once a month just to track it.....I would like to strongly recommend a You Tube documentary that opened my eyes and set me on this journey the very next day.....”What The Health”......thanks again and I’m subscribed!
Darryl D So sweet! Welcome to Story Chasing! 😊💕 Congrats on your weight loss! I've been there before with WFPB. Loved it...it didn't love me. Had some complications that I'd rather not discuss on here, but suffice to say, I'm doing well now. I really gravitate towards veggies myself.
Hi Amber, I am sooo proud of your weight loss your such an inspiration to me and I need to start my own weight loss Journey. Your meals looked delicious, 👍🏼 keep it up.
Hi Amber. I'm so excited about your weight loss and also that you're embracing your grays. You inspired me to join noom just a few days ago and I'm already losing weight. I'm also excited. I'm on my way to my #vanlife journey, just 13 months to go. I'm making a complete life change, one I've only dreamed of in the past. You were one of my biggest influences to take the proverbial plunge. Be encouraged in your journey as you are encouraging others to find theirs. Blessings
That breakfast sandwich looked amazing- I’m going to make one. The other meals looked delicious too. You have inspired me. I have put on 35 lbs since I went through Menopause. My body constantly aches from the extra weight and I miss all the lovely clothes in my closet I can’t wear anymore. When I saw you start your journey I thought- yep, that’s what I need - a support program and accountability. I joined our local WW and I’m down 8 lbs. thanks for the inspiration and the incredible meals you prepare.
Tami Cox 😊 Congrats Tami!!! That's so amazing. That's what it's all about for me is getting healthy and allowing my body to move better...and as you said..the cloths!
Amber, next time you run out of soy sauce, try Braggs (same company as apple cider vinegar) AMINO ACIDS - it's a healthy non-toxic soy substitute w/ no MSG. I don't know about you, but at 48 years old and autoimmune issues, I a very sensitive to ingredients and MSG is one, it makes losing weight harder for me. I've also had to cut out dairy, cheese, yogurts even Fage. They all stall weight loss. I try just to eat whole organic foods in the natural states :) Love my instantpot! Thanks for the video! Hi Miss Lilly!!!
Awesome!! Proud of you losing 22 lbs. I e thought about using nook but have had my doubts about it working. I work 7-3 3 days a week and every other weekend 7a to 8 pm. During the week I usually do not eat until I get home and then I over eat and snack up til I go to bed. I may have cookies, chips or sunflower seeds. Very seldom cook and know I should but I’m exhausted when I get home. Just wish I knew that it would work for me. Long post I’m sorry. Love you hair. Received my shirt this week can’t wait to wear it.
tina price 😊 Hope you like the shirt too Tina. I hear you on whether it would work for you or not. The good news is that there is a trial period to see if it resonates with you. That's what I did as well, because I was skeptical. Turns out, I love it.
I'm really glad you did another food video. This was perfect for people to see a variety of healthy dishes that can be created while on the road. Everything looks yummy.
Good for you, really enjoyed video! Love food and you did some marvelous looking meals. You really don’t have to suffer to lose weight. And what you are doing will make you so healthy. Keep going😘
Absolutely keep a PStyle in my gobag and in my car for emergency. You can write your name in the snow. I use a Ziploc sandwich bag so I can throw it away or wash it. First time ever heard about the pyramid poo , thank you for sharing. Very good information. If you have those kind of toilets. All I have is a bucket and a squat 💕💕 Merry Christmas 🎄and happy new year. 🎉

Pretty bland stir fry.. not nearly as good as the stuff you cooked!!
HAHAHAHA same. I literally was watching and like. Wait.... I want a snack😂😂😂
The chicken rice and vegetables has my mouth watering!!! You've inspired me to make it tonight :)
Your cooking is truly inspiring. One request -- could you give us the amounts of the ingredients? Thanks so much!

The recipe ideas are great. I tend to make one pot meals most of the time but your ingredient combinations are fun. I need to expand my repertoire!
Congratulations for taking time to eat better and get a routine. I was shocked you could stay off grid that long…6 or 7 days. You get such a variety of veggies in your fridge. Thanks for sharing.
I've been known to be out for 15+ days as well, but I do start running out of fresh foods at that point.
This video is my introduction to your channel and I love it! Thanks for sharing your health journey. You show how beautiful and delicious real food can be. Five stars!
Kerry Caughey So sweet! Welcome to Story Chasing! 😊💕
Its amazing how cozy your van is....love the screens to help ventilate the van when cooking.
Michelle 😊
I’ve been doing Noom for a little over a week and I literally was putting all your food into the green, yellow and red caloric density. Enjoyed your video.
Adventurous Kari LOL .... works huh?
@@storychasing I love it. We travel part-time in our 82 VW Westfalia. 1-3 months on the road and a couple months off. I want to cook healthier when we travel. We will be back on the road March - May.
Absolutely love this video. I am going to try every recipe. Please post more food videos. Thank you! You are a great cook and have excellent taste!!
Loved the peek into your week of meals. The eating out gets me every time. So happy for your success. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Some of the things you're cooking I didn't think was diet food, but you're changing my perspective completely! I think I need to give this a shot myself.
I just wrote down your bowl recipes. Took a lot of pause and play. Can't wait to shop for them and try it out. Healthy! in the new year. l love your channel.
I just found your channel and I love it! Thank you so much for not having loud music in your video. This is so calming and inspiring to watch. You are my hero!
Whatever you do, we'll watch 😊 feels weird you not traveling
I love your cooking videos! I just started Noom this past week and I too really like Noom so far. You look fantastic, keep going!
Congratulations! Suggestion, you like soy sauce, ham, salty foods will make you retain water, and raise your blood pressure. Maybe, using a little less condiment or using other options with less salt, can help you lose more weight because you won’t have water retention, and can help keep your blood pressure in check. Congratulations again on your weight loss!
Okay Amber, you must write a cookbook for weight loss. Looking Good. My travel trailer has an exhaust fan over my stove, so I'm good. Stay Beautiful and safe travels. Thanks again 🙂
Louis Guthrie LOL .... Maybe once I've lost all the weight right? Happy holidays!
Looks delicious and healthy! Keep up the good work Amber I think you’re a lovely person to watch. I’m up to date on your channel but I love watching you cook as inspiration. Anyway, don’t give up, I’m so routing for you! God has a Beautiful purpose and plan for your life!! God bless you.
You are doing so well! and I love your longer hair...it looks amazing on you and it looks healthy as well. Your video of your meals is inspiring me to change things up.
Doo Doo's Mum Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment.
Great food while on Mars. Photography holds me. Commitment A+.
Brussel Sprouts LOL ....
So excited for you and your journey. It’s about health more than anything. You want your body healthy. Of course we have an idea of how we want to look too but everything you’re cooking is so good for your body. For some great ideas and recipes flav city (Bobby Parish) has a great you tube channel. He even has an app to help with what he calls Bobby approved foods when you’re grocery shopping. He goes into different stores and shows you what to buy and not to buy depending on ingredients. I’ve learned so much from him. He’s been incorporating his 2 yr old daughter Rose into some videos too. She’s so adorable. Love watching you cook in the van as it shows how it can be done in a small space.
That 1st meal looks amazing. Van life/ cooking channel. Suggestion, 1 new recipe month. I'll be here for it. You have great meal suggestions!
I can see your weight loss. You are doing great. I have been eating healthier and losing weight too and it is so motivating when people notice and comment. Your meals look delish. Keep up the good work.
You are looking so healthy. Your hair is especially vibrant. Keep working on healthy fueling because it is working.
Travel and Live Bravely Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment.
I love the way you make your meals of grid!
I'm going to have to watch this video again with lots of pauses so I can write down these meal "recipes". Thanks! Love this video. Although I can't see me doing some of those meals in a minivan. I'm envious of all your powered appliances. One day I'll be in a bigger rig. But I'm keeping these recipes. Never put nori sheets in salad. So many good ideas!
Michelle Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment.
Everything looked good. Easy to modify with what you have or like. Thanks.
You Rock Girl. I’m saving this video so I can watch the meals again.
Terri Wilson Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment.
Hi Amber and Lily,
For some reason YT hasn’t been sending me your notifications for months but I did get this one. Don’t know what’s up w/them. Ticks me off. You’re not the only channel they either unsubbed me from or just stopped sending me the notifications for. Ugh.
Want to say I have always loved your hairstyle but I especially love the silver in your bangs at the front. Gorgeous. Truly.
Love the meals.please do more. Love the use of the Instant Pot & induction cooktop. Am not a nomad so am not using a butane or propane stove; my home stovetop has electric burners which are aren’t my fave. Like I said, love the IP & induction stovetop.
I have looked into the “N” program (not spelling it out bc I don’t want YT to delete my comment as happens at times) but can’t afford it. If you can continue w/these meals I’d be grateful; they looked tasty & healthy.
I don’t eat salmon but my husband needs to have healthy animal protein including fish (he’s on dialysis awaiting a kidney-year 5!). I eat a lot of vegan meals but the chicken ones you did, well, hmm, I think I’d eat using organic chicken.
I need to continue losing weight (am at goal but want to continue), bc I need total joint replacements in both my knees; they do one then the 2nd four to six months later depending on how the 1st heals.
PS Whoever wants to lose weight has their own reasons as I do above, but I must say I’ve always thought you were lovely. I did get a notification of another vid I watched when you were talking about wanting/trying to lose weight. I was confused bc I think you’re beautiful. I’m not judging you; you’re on what you consider a necessary journey & if that means we get to benefit w/more “meals in a week,” I’m sure not going to stop you-lol. Also if that means you feel healthier & happier then you have my total support.
Be well. This was a lovely vlog, between the views of the delicious food and the scenery-oh my.
Keep up the great work! I’ll seek out your channel if I continue to not get notifications. Do you have a typical day that you publish your vlogs? 💛🎄🌟
Marirose Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment. I publish every Thursday now. Happy holidays!
Omg the food….love the content. Please share more videos on what you eat. I’m on my weight loss journey and could definitely use some help/ideas.
You are doing great!! I absolutely love your cooking video.....it's given me some healthy ideas. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks!! Oh so good that it gave you some inspiration for healthy meals.
Hi Amber, wow...those meals certainly do look yummy. I am not much of a cook, so the faster and no cook meals is what I normally go for....but after watching this video of yours, I will definitely make the effort to do at least a little cooking.
Cooking at home is such an adventure, as there is no end to new recipes to try. Whole foods are definitely the way to go. I love finding things I can cook in my RV, so these recipes are definitely inspirational. Thanks for posting this video!!
Truly Blessed Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment.
“Where is Tiffany” sent me to your channel. I love this video and your content!! You are doing fabulous!! I have subscribed and I’m also into boondocking in my Class B RV, but new to it so I’m excited to learn from you. 🥰 stay safe!!
Thanks for subbing! Love my girl Tiffany! Congrats on your Class B. What kind did you get or did you DIY?
@@storychasing she’s a sweetheart! I’ll be seeing her very soon!! I bought the 2022 Thor Terello. Knowing nothing about RVs but knew I wanted to do something solo. On my channel I have my journey detailed. In fact I’m traveling to the west coast now. 😂 Hopefully we will get to meet someday, somehow…. 😂
We used toasted english muffins as a hamburger buns too. So good.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year, take care and stay safe...
Loved your full weak cooking. Keep it up you are looking good. As I said before you are an inspiration to me.., thank you
I really enjoyed this video with you showing us how to cook some of the dishes that has helped you to lose your weight. You have a very cute dog.
Fran Hardin Thank you very much! 😊🙏
I love your pink top. Ever since being on the road full time, I’ve been living in mostly t-shirts. I’m going to order one. It would be nice to have a long sleeve as well.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good evening Amber & Lily. I hope you are having a great Saturday. I watched your video the other day, but didn't have time to comment. I think it is great how you continue with your healthy eating. I just love whole foods. I have been eating quinoa when it was dirt cheap. LOL My mother could didn't eat meat until Shake N Bake chicken came out (she grew up on a farm and never got past the processing). She instilled the love of healthy greens and whole grains in my two sisters and I. However, I would say I am the only one who truly misses healthy eating when I do without for a week ... I also love tofu, so many flavorful dishes you can make out of it. It is like mushrooms, takes on the taste of whatever it is cooked with. Keep up the great work. I admire you for not keeping unhealthy snacks available. Safe travels.
Fascinating. Kudos to you for such creativity. I wish you all the best.
Putting dried herbs - oregano, parsley, thyme - in your salad dressing is also great!! Store your prepped dressing in your mason jar in your fridge and the herbal flavors become more pronounced. Super Tasty!!
Thanks for the tips!
brilliant video, first time viewing won't be the last time.trying to get healthy myself, i will follow your lead, thank you.
I’m so glad I found this video. Love the kimchi. Building my 6x12 cargo trailer now….needing to upgrade my cooking skills.
Good luck in your journey!!
SUPER TIGHT TRAVEL MEALS. Thanks. !!!!
I am just beginning my Noom journey and I am very encouraged by your recipes. I needed that inspiration. I'd love to see more of your recipe ideas!
Wonderful! I'm glad you're liking it too!
Yes please! Thanks for sharing. I bet you feel a lot better ♥️
I am! I love it.
Amber, loved your cooking video and making coffee in that cute little pot! Your weight loss really shows, you look great! Keep sharing the meals with us, Lilly is so cute! I’ve been following you for months, this is my first time to comment. Love your content! Safe travels.
Hi Amber....just found your incredible channel!...Watched a few videos now......awesome......nice to see a nomad with some years under your belt....I’m in the middle of converting my 21’ bus now and next winter I will be out there traveling and boondocking......
I myself changed my diet 3 years ago to a whole food plant based diet....my focus was eating healthy and not about losing weight.....losing weight is an automatic side effect!.....I lost 80 lbs in one year.....however not once did I focus on losing weight....i weighed myself once a month just to track it.....I would like to strongly recommend a You Tube documentary that opened my eyes and set me on this journey the very next day.....”What The Health”......thanks again and I’m subscribed!
Darryl D So sweet! Welcome to Story Chasing! 😊💕 Congrats on your weight loss! I've been there before with WFPB. Loved it...it didn't love me. Had some complications that I'd rather not discuss on here, but suffice to say, I'm doing well now. I really gravitate towards veggies myself.
Your videos are just the best! I admire you and really enjoy your travels.
Laurel Chesson Thank you very much! 😊🙏
You are awesome! You're living my dream. You go girl. Your weight loss likes awesome!! Thx for sharing 💥
Hi Amber, I am sooo proud of your weight loss your such an inspiration to me and I need to start my own weight loss Journey. Your meals looked delicious, 👍🏼 keep it up.
sonia kolesar Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment. You can do it too!!
Wow! These boondocking meals look great. Thanks for sharing!
San Juan Capo You're so welcome and glad you enjoyed it. 😊🙏
Hi Amber. I'm so excited about your weight loss and also that you're embracing your grays. You inspired me to join noom just a few days ago and I'm already losing weight. I'm also excited. I'm on my way to my #vanlife journey, just 13 months to go. I'm making a complete life change, one I've only dreamed of in the past. You were one of my biggest influences to take the proverbial plunge. Be encouraged in your journey as you are encouraging others to find theirs. Blessings
American WoMad Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment. Good luck in your journey too!
Thanks for good vid / I'm in Tenn. / In the process of choosing a type of van-truck-trailer etc.. currently just throwing gear in back and going out.
That breakfast sandwich looked amazing- I’m going to make one. The other meals looked delicious too. You have inspired me. I have put on 35 lbs since I went through Menopause. My body constantly aches from the extra weight and I miss all the lovely clothes in my closet I can’t wear anymore. When I saw you start your journey I thought- yep, that’s what I need - a support program and accountability. I joined our local WW and I’m down 8 lbs. thanks for the inspiration and the incredible meals you prepare.
Tami Cox 😊 Congrats Tami!!! That's so amazing. That's what it's all about for me is getting healthy and allowing my body to move better...and as you said..the cloths!
Everything looked so delicious and healthy! You are looking more refreshed - good food and the desert appear to be agreeing with you! Well done!
Brenda Gummeson Thank you. That's very kind of you to comment.
You're doing so great Amber. Proud of you for sticking with it to be healthier 😁👍
Thank you!! 😊
Amber, next time you run out of soy sauce, try Braggs (same company as apple cider vinegar) AMINO ACIDS - it's a healthy non-toxic soy substitute w/ no MSG. I don't know about you, but at 48 years old and autoimmune issues, I a very sensitive to ingredients and MSG is one, it makes losing weight harder for me. I've also had to cut out dairy, cheese, yogurts even Fage. They all stall weight loss. I try just to eat whole organic foods in the natural states :) Love my instantpot! Thanks for the video! Hi Miss Lilly!!!
JJ Juls oh great idea. Thanks for that. 😊 I used to use that a lot but sometimes it's hard to find. Guess I need to stock up.
You are looking stunning girl! You're such an inspiration!
Creating meals for just me in my van is always a challenge. Thanks for sharing some awesome ideas. Hope to meet up on the road someday.
Awesome!! Proud of you losing 22 lbs. I e thought about using nook but have had my doubts about it working. I work 7-3 3 days a week and every other weekend 7a to 8 pm. During the week I usually do not eat until I get home and then I over eat and snack up til I go to bed. I may have cookies, chips or sunflower seeds. Very seldom cook and know I should but I’m exhausted when I get home. Just wish I knew that it would work for me. Long post I’m sorry. Love you hair. Received my shirt this week can’t wait to wear it.
tina price 😊 Hope you like the shirt too Tina. I hear you on whether it would work for you or not. The good news is that there is a trial period to see if it resonates with you. That's what I did as well, because I was skeptical. Turns out, I love it.
And isn’t out fun to make food that looks good, too! That’s what I’ve been enjoying. Looks and tastes good.
You got that right!
Fantastic! Getting healthy is perfect for the times…so happy for you Amber.
Sandy Allen Thank you very much! 😊🙏
I'm really glad you did another food video. This was perfect for people to see a variety of healthy dishes that can be created while on the road. Everything looks yummy.
Good for you, really enjoyed video! Love food and you did some marvelous looking meals. You really don’t have to suffer to lose weight. And what you are doing will make you so healthy. Keep going😘
A Pen 😊 totally agree. I don't feel like I'm suffering at all. It feels good.
I ADORE your "silver" hightlights! Those meals look really good Amber, and so healthy- thanks for sharing the recipes!
itsMimiYa'll xoxo You're so welcome and glad you enjoyed it. 😊🙏
Love your content and I have enjoyed your meals. Great to hear you have lost weight doing these delicious meals!
Thanks so much! 😊
The food looks amazing and you can tell it's working for you. Thanks for posting.
Absolutely keep a PStyle in my gobag and in my car for emergency. You can write your name in the snow. I use a Ziploc sandwich bag so I can throw it away or wash it. First time ever heard about the pyramid poo , thank you for sharing. Very good information. If you have those kind of toilets. All I have is a bucket and a squat 💕💕 Merry Christmas 🎄and happy new year. 🎉
