I have been so intimidated about making the starter. You make it look easy. Now I will have to start making my own bread. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome video for an explanation of Mary's Mini. Best I found. Thank you so much!

whats the size of the center island

Would go great with a slice of nice toast!

Love the video. Everything looks delicious!

I taught public speaking for a number of years at the college level, I miss it and I miss the students! Congrats to the young lady who took the bronze in extemporaneous speaking, that's not easy! When I travel I usually bring my own food, potatoes for microwaving and canned beans. The vegan options are getting better but they are still not great.

Thank you Joey for taking time to record your experiences with the kids this summer. As others have already said it is so clear that you are a super dedicated teacher willing to put up with so many inconveniences to give your students a great experience! You are an inspiration for any teacher!! I’m so sorry that the vegan options are so limited. That is so sad. I think you did pretty well with the protein powder, non dairy milk and bananas. Maybe you could request rooms on the lower floors if you have to stay at that hotel again. It sounds really terrible. I’m sure you were delighted to come home the end.

Bless you for all your efforts to help your students. I'm a retired Mpls. computer teacher now living in an Atlanta suburb and eat plant base foods. Enjoy your UTube videos. Thanks.

Thanks!

You are such a terrific teacher! Looks like a tiring trip though. I really wish places like this would provide more vegan options. I have been to places like that where there isn't hardly any options. I leave for a small trip next week and I plan on taking some food with me .

Joey….my daughter lives in Decatur and every time I visit Atlanta I eat like a vegan queen! I am not surprised that a conference center would not cater to vegan needs, but Atlanta its self has a vibrant vegan culture!

BLESS YOUR HEART! Welcome to the South

So sad that there is no food in Atlanta. I live in the southeast and it is so sad that were we have the climate to gorw crops, we have to fight to get plant foods.

Hi Joey, thank you for taking along. It is so interesting to see this competition especially as someone who grew up outside the US and have no clue about the school culture here. Although I grew up doing extempore in my school competitions as well. I am not sure where in Atlanta you were staying at but I worked there for over a year and they have fantastic vegan options there! If not anything, Whole Foods has great options. Unfortunately, it is expensive, you need a car/uber there(or most restaurants) or worse order on those food delivery apps.

There are vegan options in ATL, but are limited near the Convention Center. You have to pick it up or get it delivered. Sadly, most vegan options are unhealthy.

Joey you are the GOAT!

I would love to get one of the bottle brushes with straw cleaner. Can you tell me where to get. Amazon? Enjoyed this video. Have not finished to see if you have winners.

Hi Joey, howcome you aren’t using Earth Chimp protein powder?

I absolutely hate when people tell me they have a salad for me, like lettuce alone can sustain me all day. 🤣Also, I lived in South Carolina for a while. You are not exaggerating on everything being so meat-focused in the south. It's hard.

Immersion blender will do the trick! I use it at home for shakes with greens and frozen fruit instead of dirtying the blender. But I don’t know if TSA would accept as carryon.

I have no doubt joey that you are a fantastic teacher and your students ❤ you.

I alwaysmake sure that I have a microwave and mini fridge in my room and do a whole foods order when I get there.

Joey, you are one of those rare diamonds of a teacher that truly cares about his students. There are only a few teachers that stand out in ones lifetime and you are one of those kinds of teachers. No doubt it takes a lot out of you to do this, especially the lack of food options alone but as you mentioned you are making memories. You are the true meaning of the word teacher and you set such an awesome example for these young minds. Much respect for you Joey!!

I have learned with our traveling and hotel staying I always travel with my homemade deli meat, already sliced up mini cucumbers hummus, I may bring my own bread, depending on where I’m going and cooked potatoes. I can make a sandwich or just eat by themselves. They fit nicely in a little lunch bag getting on planes. Just a few ideas for your future travels. Great video.

So what about Earth Chimp?

What you are doing is the right thing to do!! Spread the word however you need to!!!

Oh my gosh, you are singing my tune!!!! I have finally come to terms with this reality in my life. I, too, have been on a long, self-discovery process. I look forward to hearing more of your journey, thank you!

your students are so lucky to have you, I wish all teachers had your dedication. You are an inspiration to teachers everywhere.

You are THAT teacher Joey! What an amazing opportunity for the young people, you are a star and live your values, that is rare. Sorry to see that the food offerings are so poor, what a shame you can't contact them in advance and negotiate something a bit more fitting. And the elevators, that needs some constructive criticism for sure. Hope the kids remember your efforts when they get to the top. One always remembers exceptional teachers, so I guess they will. Thank you for sharing this event with us, and rest up.

I used this to make scalloped potatoes. Mandolins potatoes, onion, jalapeños, herbs, paprika, and some minced garlic with some sauce. Baked in a small casserole dish for 60 minutes covered and 10 minutes uncovered at 400 degrees. Absolutely scrumptious. Tomorrow I will try thinning the sauce slightly with veg stock and adding frozen broccoli for broccoli cheddar soup mmm!!

You are both looking so good. I turned 60 in June, I'm over weight and losing muscle and bone alarmingly, I'm going to try following your high protein low calorie meals. You are inspiring.❤️

Great idea to use bbq sauce and seitan on sweet potatoes

Looking good, guys! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

What if you have too many scobies? And NO ONE to give them to. What is the best way to discard them?

❤

Are you also eating some fruit?

🎯This is one of the most eye-opening videos I've watched because I am having the same exact confusion. Fruit is helping get me to those lower calorie numbers without starving. Thanks for sharing !

Wow wow wow

Love ❤❤❤❤ you guys! The BEST! Joey, I think on an older video you mentioned the KZfaq channel Nini Girl? I love that channel too. It’s been two years since she posted. Can you give us an update? Do you follow her in another platform?

I doubt you monitor this video any more, but thought I would comment. First time I made this for a friend who loved the 10 veggie Panera soup…and was heart broken they discontinued it. I found your recipe and made it… it was the most healing and delicious thing, she said, for her chronic pancreatitis she had ever eaten! I decided to make again for her, but used different fire roasted tomatoes (Muir Glen). I am afraid that there was way too much “char” on those tomatoes… and made the whole thing bitter!!! I am so disappointed that this truly delicious but ingredient intensive soup was pretty much ruined (in my eyes, at least). I post this just for a cautionary tale for whomever may be looking this up. I will either use a different brand or regular tomatoes next time!

I’ve been using the Simply Delish products for a while - I love to top the vanilla pudding with the raspberry “jello”. It tastes like a berry cheesecake, so delicious!

I am in the same boat I was losing muscle and I just beat cancer so I was heavy because of the Steroids so I had to find a way to get my protein 💪 in without going over my Calorie deficit so I did what you are doing so far so good 👍.. I am glad you are doing what's best for you while still doing what's best for our animal brothers and sisters .. I am with you

Love strawberry! Have you tried Walmart’s frozen berry cherry blend?!? It consists of tart and sweet cherries, blueberries and strawberries! So good!
