As a tax paying citizen of Snack City (became a member of your website) I'm glad to see some renovating taking place

I really appreciate your smaller details, like saying you cut it in X many rows by X many columns, or including grams as well as teaspoons. These are solid recipes with clear explanations...which is oddly rare in the cooking world.

Crumpling parchment paper just changed my life. Thanks man .

2:02 I made your chicken nuggets with crushed up tortilla chips as breading after I realized I had none of the other options. To this day my daughter says they were the best nuggets she's ever had.

I got an ungodly amount of broccoli from my aunt because her store couldn’t sell it cause it was slightly yellowed, still perfectly good. I plan on making your broccoli bites tonight as one of the many ways to use up an entire shelf’s worth of broccoli.

Subscribed purely because your instructions are amazing, you explain why you do stuff in a particular way, and you accommodate for people who dont have every kitchen appliance. You also give ingredients in grams and temperatures in celsius, instead of assuming the only people watching this will be using American units. I can't tell you how refreshing that is. I don't mind looking up a recipe but I hate doing unnecessary maths. (I'm a statistics student, I like *necessary* maths lol)

Add pork rinds to the Corn Chex. Also this channel has made feeding our kids much easier. We make everything from scratch and it's so easy to get some fries and chicken that you made in 5 minutes. Takes the thinking away.

Just ordered the zwilling bags, looking forward to starting my own Snack City. We've been using your chile lemon chicken recipe for salad toppings and it's been awesome!

You can take another sheet pan of the same size you spread your chicken or broccoli mixture and "stack" it on top of the mixture, pressing or squishing it into a very even layer, instead of trying to even it out by hand. You might have to use another piece of parchment or some water on the back of the top pan to prevent sticking, but it saves time and gets you an even layer to cut up into uniform portions. Also, depending on your specific goals for the nutrition of the recipe, you can use finely grated hard cheese like pecorino or parmesan as part of the fry breading. The fat in the cheese helps crisp it up and it adds a lot of flavor.

Wow this was so straightforward and easy to understand. Even the ad didn't feel like an ad, was it an ad? I like this channel

@@rachelmel I hated real maple syrup growing up. As an adult, I’ve changed a lot of things about my diet including real maple syrup(and never letting my own kid try the fake junk), soda water with fruit rather than sprite or mt dew, and eating more simple deserts. Now my daughter and I both can’t take the sugar added “maple syrup.” Actually the other day we were volunteering and they had soda and I had a headache. I grabbed a mt dew for the caffeine and was shocked how syrupy and hard to drink it was. People are raised on junk and our taste buds 100% enjoy what they’re used to. This is why I always try things 3-5 times before deciding whether or not I hate it. For everything except pate it’s been a “I just needed to adjust, this is good actually” experience.

Broccoli bites are really good.

Try putting the sheet rack directly on the oven rack. Better air circulation. Put tin foil on other rack and place it at the bottom to catch drips.

Cheese grater is a good way to rice broccoli without a food processor

the city planning joke got me 😂

hmm maybe hit the mini bite muffins with a torch after baking to get a little browning flavor

one day i will be shopping at costco and i will see snack city products in the frozen food section. i can't wait.

Awesome video

I made the broccoli bites a while ago and they were surprisingly good! Was hesitant to eat them because of how much they smelt of broccoli lol but it wasn't that big of a deal. Made the pancake bites too (sans choc chips), but wasn't much of a fan. I imagine if they had choc chips they would prob be better but I'll wait till I eat them all to try again lol. I think my favourite recipe on this channel was the pizza bites. Lots of effort but totally worth it. I could easily finish the whole batch in less than half the time it took to make them, but I made sure to make them last.

Can you substitute other kinds of flour in the broccoli bites? Thanks love the video!

Okay you sold me on the Zwillig set!

Excellent and hilarious as ever 🙌🏼🙌🏼💐💐😹😹

I was looking for a great meal prep snack for trips in my RV (Van). These are great recipes,,,,unfortunately, air fryers take up a tremendous amount of space and are not conducive to RV travel. I suspect the broccoli and muffins won’t work on the stove top or in the microwave. But I’m thinking the chicken might work if quickly fried in some Avocado oil on the stove top.

Project Farm performed pretty thorough testing of blenders, Nutribullet came out at 2nd place for 1/6 of price of Vitamix, might be worth a shot. Also, Blendtec is a brand often compared to Vitamix, though their basic models have 2 year warranty (not 10 year) and seem to be a quality compromise.
