I need about 100 more of these videos. Thanks in advance 😅 lol

[theroncooley]

I am the only person in my family who is plant based AND I do most of the cooking, so the microwave is my friend. Thanks so much for further inspiration.

I've ended up with a lot of leftover pumpkin after making pumpkin themed things. Adding the pumpkin to the oatmeal is really delicious! Johanna from Brattleboro Vermont here!

Love, love, love this video! All the recipes look great, easy and delicious! Im going to rewatch it right away. One of my go to breakfasts is overnight oats. In a deep bowl, I put 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup oat bran, 1 T ground flaxseed, 1 T ground chia seed, sprinkle of cinnamon, 1 T cacao powder and 1.25 cups almond milk. I make about 5 bowls at a time. Each morning, I heat it for 4 minutes in the microwave, then stir very well. Then I add fruit on tops, usually fresh or frozen and defrosted berries. It’s so satisfying. I would love more videos like this. Thanks!

Loving this subject, very much needed. I cook a loaf of seitan every week, Cheap lazy vegan’s recipe is the fastest and easiest and delicious. Then I use it for quick sandwiches, put in quick soups too. For a quick soup I use beans in my magic bullet, mixed with broth and water and also powdered broth mix from Well Your World and some nooch and salt substitute (Bensons Table Tasty) blend and add to cooked frozen veggies and some chunks of tofu, for a rich, thick quick creamy soup. And of course oatmeal in the microwave! I put an old take out chopstick in the bowl with the oatmeal and water or plant milk, which keeps it from boiling over in the microwave. I’m also queen of semi homemade food. My favorite is to buy a plain bean burrito, no cheese from Taco Bell. Microwave some potatoes, and Trader Joe’s frozen, peppers and onions, open that burrito and add the potatoes and peppers, make a quick salad, mostly just greens, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers and you have an amazing quick mostly healthy meal!

I always use the microwave for my porridge. Quick and easy 😊

[deannearmstrong]

I hope you do another version of this with new recipes down the road. I have access to all the cooking implements but I don’t always have time to use them. Throwing a quick, healthy meal in the microwave is a great option.

[leaperrins]

As a single person, in general, I prefer to batch cook. If I am going to the effort of getting out all the ingredients, equipment and cleaning, then I want to get at least two days worth of meals from the effort! Usually I aim for 8 portions if it's freezable.

However, if there isn't anything suitable pre made then I want something really fast. I've also been ill for the last year (unrelated to diet) so making food has become much more difficult. As you said, there's a number of reasons why someone would only use a microwave, so I'm glad to see it acknowledged. A wfpb based diet is a cook heavy diet and that can seem like a lot of work to certain people, particularly newbies. Hopefully, this video can give people a few more quick options. Yay!

And this is why I can't wait for that cookbook of yours to come out 🙌🙌

Loving these one serving meals. I’ve done pumpkin soup in mug with canned pumpkin, milk, sage, broth. So quick and easy and great use of leftover pumpkin.

[elizabethdurocher]

Please make more of these videos!!! Loved all of these quick and easy dishes! I will be rewatching this video lots! Thanks again for making this kind of content.

[donnacartier]

Thanks so much for this goodness. I am not a chef by any stretch of the imagination and you always provide new and unique ways to pair foods that I would NEVER have thought of on my own. This is genius!

[YiayiaJoanne]

I think this is my favorite video. I struggle with finding things for lunch and will definitely make the chili mac and sweet potato bowl. And the desserts. Thank you. Just what I needed.

[diannecaron]

I wonder if I could make the breakfast sandwich chickpea egg in a silicone muffin pan instead of a single ramekin? Maybe make a dozen and let them cool and then freeze to reheat when needed. I'm gonna give it a try and will post my results

[LaurieMeislish]

Love the microwave recipes, perfect for very busy people, thanks Jeremy.

[dovaillancourt]

What a superb idea for a video !!! I am in love with my microwave. Obviously for reheating EVERY MEAL I make ! But I have discovered it for cooking my potatoes ! OMG what a game changer ! I have a silicon container and lid and you just put a bit of water and your potatoes and cook for 6 to 8 min and it is done. As for the IP, you can just go do something else and it does not heat your entire house ! I also have some special bags to cook potatoes in. I always melt my chocolate in my microwave and use it many times a day. Thanks again for the video ! I have been marathon re-watching all your cookbook review videos to get some inspiration and some entertainment !!!

[reneewhite]

This video is in the top 5 of all your videos I've watched. Would love more like this. Recipes are quick, easy, and great for one person meals. 👌 Thanks again Jeremy! 😊

[cerysford]

Great idea for a video!
When we were homeless and had to live in a Bed and Breakfast room with no kitchen facilities, we managed to get a microwave for our room. It was hard to work out healthy meals for the kids which could be made in a microwave. This video would've been really helpful.
My student son will find these recipes really useful too.

BTW, I'd love a shout out! I'm Cerys from Plymouth, UK.

[juliechaffe]

Hi, great video, will definitely be trying a few of the recipes. I am Julie from the Uk. I have made my porridge (oatmeal) in the microwave for quite a few years. My favourite is with grated carrot, grated courgette (zucchini), pear or apple, cinnamon and flax. Call it my carrot cake porridge and gives me more veg!.

[joannapatterson]

Microwave oats is my daily before I hit the gym. Easy, quick, delicious.
