- Hey guys!
It's Candice the Edgy Veg.
Welcome back to my channel!
I am super excited today,
because I have been watching
Stephanie Buttermore's videos,
and she does these epic cheat days.
It looks like a lot of fun,
but as you guys know
I don't believe in good
foods or bad foods,
so for me it's not really
like epic cheat day.
I just kind of want to follow my cravings,
and not hold back,
so whatever I'm craving
I'm going to eat that.
I thought that it would be a fun thing
for you guys to come along and see,
so Stephanie Buttermore in her video
she talks about how she was really kind of
like over consumed with like
counting calories,
and she was working out a lot,
and she never felt full,
and she felt very restricted,
so she started making these videos
that I think are super inspiring,
so for her it was just a
way for her to, you know,
eat the foods that she was really craving,
and eat until she's full,
so I think that's kinda brave to like
put on, you know, a
little bit more weight,
and show your vulnerabilities
on your channel.
I mean you guys know,
you know I'm the junk food queen,
but I do eat a lot of really healthy food.
I do try to eat, you know, balanced meals.
I never restrict myself.
If I feel like eating something
I usually do eat it or at least
try to find something that is comparable
for the craving, but maybe
a little bit more balanced,
but I do love just following my intuition,
and following my cravings.
First thing we need to
eat today is breakfast.
I had a couple of options for that,
but I'm really craving these
epic bagels at Bloomer's.
They're just so big and delicious,
and vegan, and I think I'm
going to start with that,
but yeah,
so this is my version
of the epic cheat day
just from the vegan perspective.
Let's eat all the food that we can.
What do you think?
You want to eat all the food?
He doesn't care.
(uptempo music)
Okay, so we're in Bloomer's,
in Toronto,
and I got myself a Everything Bagel
with some Urban Garlic Cream Cheese.
I have a box of donuts
that we're going to take home and eat
a little bit later,
and, of course, a cappuccino.
I might eat double the cream cheese
- [Candace] for this
bagel amount (laughs).
These are my favorite
vegan bagels in Toronto.
They're so good.
Hmm.
- [Candace] It's like the
perfect amount of saltine,
and urby,
and I use to have the bagel with butter
with cream cheese like every single day
before I went vegan,
but I haven't been able to find
really good vegan bagels,
so I'm very pleased.
- [Candace] I'm pretty sure
that this is the cultured
like the company's whole cultured
on our logo to Toronto.
They make a really good vegan butter.
It's like a cultured like cashew.
Oh my god it's so good.
How are you doings?
I brought treats.
Fig, you want to see all
the donuts that I bought.
Hi!
Yes I'm so sorry I didn't say hello to you
properly.
I didn't touch you, which is
just such bad parenting,
also my place is a mess.
(speaking baby talk to dogs)
Rest and testing makes
this home such a mess.
Doesn't it?
Yes it does. Yes it does.
(singing)
Dun dada duh!
So we have a birthday cake donut.
We have a toasted coconut donut.
We have a rose pistachios donut.
We also have a vanilla sprinkle donut,
but that's for my friend
who's sick in bed.
All right guys,
I had such a tasty bagel for breakfast.
Now we're having desert.
I will be eating desert with every meal
because I can.
I mean, unless I don't feel like it,
and that's the whole point.
I'm just am eating what
I feel like eating,
so I have my donuts here!
I have, this is a birthday cake donut,
so it looks like it's got some icing.
I think it's vanilla icing,
sprinkles,
and then birthday cake like funfetti
style birthday cake crumpled on top.
We have a toasted coconut,
so these are all yeast donuts
not cake donuts.
Very important distinction,
but again we have this vanilla frosting
and then toasted coconut on top,
and this one was,
what was this one?
Rose pistachio,
so I assume it has like rose essence.
Essence of rose (laughs) on it,
and then again has,
I mean, I'm sure that the rose essence,
or whatever the heck that they used
is in the icing and then
there's pistachios on top,
so I'm just going to try all of them.
Hmm.
Kind of smells like potpourri,
but it taste good (laughs).
You can definitely smell it
or taste like a subtle rose.
More so than the pistachio.
It's real nice.
(mumbles due to food in mouth)
I would hate to drink all my coffee,
so I can have coffee while I eat these.
It's really tasty.
It's nice and subtle.
The donuts are so fresh today.
The bagel was super fresh.
The donuts are so fresh.
Oh my god.
Coconut.
I love coconut.
Very subtle coconut,
but there's something
there's something about the difference
between a toasted coconut flavor
and normal coconut flavor.
I definitely prefer the toasted coconut.
These donuts are not overly sweet,
which is nice,
and also kind of dangerous,
because then you can eat like
a whole one in one sitting.
(speaking with food in her mouth)
These are so big.
If I take like two bites out of each one
it's pretty much eating a full donut.
This one is an oval (laughs).
It's an oblong shape.
This one looks a little
bit denser actually.
Oops (drops a piece of donut),
and then it has the birthday cake,
crumpled birthday cake on top.
Oh.
I really thought this one
was going to be my favorite,
but I think the toasted
coconut is my favorite.
Can I just like have an
epic cheat day every day?
I'm going to film another video,
so I'll be back for lunch.
I got to figure out
what I feel like eating.
Can't really decide that ahead of time,
because I'm following my cravings,
and clearly this is what
I'm craving right now,
so I don't know what I'm
going to have for lunch yet.
- [Man's Voice] So, you
are trying to figure out
what you want to do for lunch.
- Yeah, and I was
okay so I was going to Hogtown Vegan,
which is like a place of a bunch of vegan
junk food.
There my favorite vegan wings in the city,
but then I started looking
on Uber (laughs) Eats
to other like other vegan options,
and I kind of was like oh
Virtuous Pie might be fun,
but then I was like eh
I kind of want wings,
but then as I was scrolling through
I saw that you could get
pints of ice cream delivered,
which seems ridiculous for Uber Eats,
but also (exhales) it says salted caramel
chocolate pretzel ice cream
and I kind of just want to order from
Virtuous Pie because I want that.
We're going to order a
$12 pint of ice cream,
because I'm the worst.
All right guys my Virtuous
Pie Uber Eats order,
I don't know why I'm crouching like this.
Virtuous Pie Uber Eats
already just showed up.
First of all before I reveal.
I just finished filming another video.
Hence why I'm wearing a different outfit,
and no longer match my dog,
but look at how cute
everything is.
Oh wait!
The ice cream!
Okay, so this is the ice
cream that I ordered.
It's actually still really frozen.
Despite, you know, being Uber Eats order.
Salted Caramel and Chocolate Pretzel.
I can not wait.
These are the Garlic Knots!
Can you see that?
And this is some sort of
- [Man's Voice] Is that the blue cheese?
- Ranch I think.
I think I got the blue
cheese with the pizza.
The Stranger Wings pizza.
- [Man's Voice] That is the cauliflower
wings on them right?
- Yeah it has cauliflower wings.
What looks like crispy onions.
Some sort of like ranch.
It kind of looks sad (laughs).
The Vegan Margarita pizza,
and this is blue cheese dipping sauce.
I mean the cheese is really melty looking.
That's good cheese.
What kind of cheese is this?
What kind of cheese is that?
- I'll try it first without the dip.
That's really good.
- Yeah!
- (laughs) Real talk.
What cheese it that?
- Right!
- I can't figure it out.
It's like really
- I can usually tell
what cheese they're using
just based on what it looks like
and what it tastes like, like
when I order in food.
- Come give it a try.
Give us your thoughts.
- [Woman's Voice] I never
even had real blue cheese.
- Murray's Pizza.
That's blue cheese dip.
- Okay
I want to smell it.
It smells like
- [Blonde Haired Man] Do
it without the blue cheese.
Try it.
See what it taste like,
then try the dip.
- Oh man!
- Right!
- It's good cheese!
- Yo Virtuous Pie what
cheese you're using?
I mean the blue cheese dip
it's nice and tangy
and kind of has a little bit of that
foot taste and smell of it.
- [Blonde Haired Man] (giggles)
- Than blue cheese normally has,
but I wouldn't say it taste
just like blue cheese.
Okay Garlic Knot is fine.
Maybe I have to put them in the microwave.
- [Blonde Haired Man] Are they cold?
- They're kind of hard.
All right.
Stranger Wings.
(opening pizza box)
- Oh that is sad.
- I mean
- I was expecting it to be like
- [Blonde Haired Man] Really covered?
- Yeah.
Hmm it was good.
- (agreeing)
- Yeah it's flavorful.
(laughs)
- Here you go honey.
That was like such a mothering thing.
Ow it's spicy.
I mean I like spicy,
but like if you didn't like spice
this would be a lot for you.
Buffalo and barbecue sauce together?
- (agreeing) mmhmm it is ways as well
- (agreeing) mmhmm
Like shockingly spicy.
- I like I like the actual wing.
- (agreeing) mmhmm
- Like maybe take them off the pizza.
- (laughs)
I'm not mad.
- Hopefully the ice cream
will be the best part
of this meal.
- Oh my god!
So excited for the ice cream.
- (laughs)
- [Candice] So this is the Salted Caramel
Chocolate Pretzel ice cream.
Oh my god.
Come here.
Look how hard it is.
Oh there we go.
Despite being delivered in a car.
- [Blonde Haired Man] What kind of a milk
base is it?
- Great question.
Oh my god.
Pretzels.
Oh my god it's so good.
Oh I have very sensitive teeth.
Woo!
Cashews and cookie milk.
That's how I make my ice cream too.
One thing that you don't know about me,
one of my favorite snacks slash deserts
that I have to make because
you can never find them anywhere are
salted (clears throat) wow (laughs)
going through puberty at thirty one,
are salted pretzels dipped in caramel
dipped in chocolate.
It's really good.
It's not too sweet.
A lot of vegan ice cream can be very sweet
like they over compensate with sugar.
This is very very tasty.
The pretzels are a
little almost like stale
because they're in the ice cream,
which makes sense.
I wish they were a little bit crunchier.
What do you think?
(laughs) that was a yes.
- Oh it's like soft.
I was expecting it to be
like sometimes the Ben
and Jerry's are too hard.
- [Candice] (agreeing) Mmm
(puts ice cream on table)
Oh!
- [Candice] (laughing)
- (laughing)
- [Candice] I love that you're smelling
the ice cream.
- Oh it's good.
- [Candace] I'm very happy
that I made this decision,
and then decided all of my
lunch based on this decision.
(uptempo music)
- Okay so I've been working on
some more seitan's piece
to make them more realistic chicken.
So this is one of the
the ones that I made.
I'm trying to make it more fibrous
and like pull apart like chicken,
and make it more neutral like chicken is
until you like season it.
- What's it like made of?
What is seitan even?
- [Candace] Um so this is vital B gluten,
tofu, uh jack fruit, tahini, meso
- [Woman's Voice] And vote leeken is like
what part of flour right?
- [Candace] Yeah.
It's the protein from um wheat.
- [Candace] Then even if you brinded this
like I don't know like
(sucks teeth) brind it,
breaded it and then deep fried it.
Could make some pretty bomb chicken.
- [Woman's Voice] Science right there.
That's impressive.
- [Candace] (laughing)
I should like double up on
the spices in this recipe.
- [Candace] Like that's pretty cool.
- [Blonde Haired Man]
Yeah it rips and looks
just exactly like chicken.
- [Candace] Shred that
and put that in a chicken salad sandwich.
- [Blonde Haired Man] (agreeing) mmhmm
- [Candace] I bought two Roll Tease,
Samosas with two dipping sauces
and I guess Tamarind and a Mint
this looks like like a Mint Chutney,
and Masala Fries.
That's the Chana Masala
and this is like a Tofu Paneer,
but totally dairy free obviously,
and um this is my friend Chris.
- Hello
- [Candace] He's not feeling well
- (agreeing)
- [Candace] So I figured I'd bring him
some comfort food.
- Well that's good.
- Mm.
- Well yeah just yeah okay
- Mm.
- (laughs)
This is all the fries.
- Which will probably
go great with Ketchup.
Hm.
Yes they do.
Tell the people about the Samosas.
- (chuckles) We did!
- Now everyone gets to see
- How messy you were?
- How messy I eat.
- I got you uh a napkin for this reason,
because you are the messiest
eater on the planet.
- I'm passionate about my eating.
- So full disclosure,
Christopher he's not a vegan,
but you like vegan food.
- But I'm somewhat transitioning.
- Oh you are?
- Well I'm open to all vegan food,
and I enjoy it thoroughly.
- (speaking foreign language)
- Yeah (speaking foreign language)
- And this is good too.
- Mm.
- I wasn't sure because it's not Gandhi,
and Gandhi's my favorite
Roti place in the city,
and I kind of compare everything to them,
but they don't deliver.
- When did you ever have them?
This is legit!
Notice I have kept most
food off my face so far?
- Are you okay?
Would you like some water?
- I choked on a chickpea.
- So what kind of things
have you been eating
that are vegan?
- Well you got me on these
field cut oats bandwagon.
- (agreeing)
- Those watching is steel cut oats
and then an assortment of berries,
and a big scoop of organic peanut butter,
oval maple syrup
- Salted though
- Saltine
- Has to be salted
- Um maple syrup and then
handful of sunflower seeds,
and then maybe like a
quarter of a cup of on milk.
My meals are utilitarian.
- Mm.
- Like a meal prep if
you're trying to meal prep,
you know, extensive meals
it just triples the cooking time
as oppose to just roasting veggies,
roasting, you know, whatever
protein source you have,
and then creating some carple insiborate.
Quinoa or rice or potatoes.
Like you can do literally three days
of meal prep like that
in twenty five minutes.
- Well I just like to take
leftovers during the week
and kind of repurpose them,
so I took the bento boxes that we filmed
was like a ginger (laughs)
the ginger tofu and then I fried the rice
with a bunch of veggies
that I had left over.
I just chopped them all
up and threw them in.
- Mm.
- And then threw the tofu on top.
- Yeah those are dynamite.
- These samosas are tasty.
They're really salty,
which I love.
All right guys we are
going to finish this.
Let me know what you guys
thought of this just like
