I forgot the number one rule of stephenvlog. Never watch while hungry.

I have lost control of my life, there are muffins 2015

In my experience food is way more important that exercise for /weight loss/. Exercise, of course, is still important for overall healthy but paying attention to what you eat is more important. I even had a book that broke down the math (in calories) and it certainly made working out seem like a slow process for shedding pounds.

Making huge batches of muffins is great. Freeze them and then grab one or two to go with a lunch. Easy peasy.

This reminds me of an incident from a year or two ago. So my mom was attending some sort of meeting that had to do with school (I can't remember what it was) and she wanted to bring pumpkin muffins. We've had this particular recipe for a really long time and she would always make a lot for school fundraisers and things like that when I was in elementary school. So she was rushing around trying to get ready, and since I had surpassed her in baking, I told her I would make the muffins. She told me to make a double batch, since that's what she remembered doing in the past. Remembered is the key word. Even one batch of these muffins make a lot, and what we actually did in the past was making a one and a half batch. With a double batch, the batter literally did not fit in our big mixing bowl. I was pouring wet and dry ingredients back and forth, trying to get two bowls of somewhat consistent batter. And afterwords... Holy crap, was our kitchen full of muffins. It didn't help that our kitchen at the time was really small. Anyway, that's my story of way too many muffins. I've spent way to much time rambling...

You know Stephen, for weight loss it is 60% what you eat and 40% exercise

I'm from Louisiana. It's "Lu-easy-any-in". Also, if you would like to know more, ask me. I hope you enjoyed your meal!

Watching StephenVlog on an empty stomach is arguably worse than watching.... cooking channels! D:

The correct term you're looking for at the beginning of the video is "Creole Cuisine." Creole is the blend of French techniques with local Louisiana ingredients that came to be world famous. Rouxs are a traditional French thickener that had their origin before stuff like corn starch was invented. If you want a super traditional roux, it's butter and flour, not oil. You can cook a roux longer to give it more flavor (Dark Roux) but it will lose its thickening power (Light Roux). Sorry for the rant, I'm a culinary school graduate and I felt the need to clue you guys in on roux science.

I like how I'm eating pizza while watching this. Stems the Stephenvlog hunger and deliciously ironic considering the healthy living discussion. That being said, in my experience, when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight, the key is consistency. If I'm consistent in eating healthily everyday, and consistent in moderate exercise, I can keep my weight stable, no problem.

Jesus, 75 muffins. 75! I would be overjoyed but also slightly terrified.

[ELFlaura]

Mmm, zucchini bread. My mom made zucchini bread for a while one year. I don't think she ever made quite that much, though

I have the same shirt Mal! I love the pocket-Pokemon shirts! (and Squirtle is my favorite!)

[MoonlightCharizard]

A roux is both a cooking term, and the french word for Red Headed. Fyi. :) <3

I'm picturing a scene from either a movie or a cartoon where a lady says "I bake when I'm upset, " and everywhere in the kitchen is like a smorgasbord of desserts, but I can't remember what show or movie it is that comes from.

[eeveegirl]

u cant fool around with baking recipe. baking is an EXACT science. so u can't just easily double or triple abaking recipe./ thats something u need to tweak little by little

[KingCalumari]

Good on you for losing weight! I've always heard that's really hard.
