    instead of country themed videos, you could also do recipe type videos. Like 5 soups under $5, or 5 oven baked recipes, or 5 summer salads, or 5 one pot recipes. These are just some suggestions, there are plenty more! I really like this format (I like all your videos honestly)

      as a Mexican she should've said Mexican-American, because she barely even touched Mexican food they sell at restaurants lmaoooooo like as a Mexican i was looking for enchiladas, posole, ceviche, tortas de camaron. This wasn't even a challenging video to make or eye opening to the different kinds of Mexican foods. likeeee i really hope she actually does something challening and insightful for any other ethnic food she takes on because YIKESSSS and to all her viewers PLEASE I BEG YALL to look into different types of Mexican food if yall thought she actually did a good job in this video.

    I always really appreciate it when I see vegan recipes without a blender or foodprocessor! I mean sometimes it feels like every vegan recipe is just "Take veggies and blend them with spices" or "Blend cashews and spices to add them to your veggies".

    Caitlin, I think this video is a great example of how much better you're getting at making videos! I thoroughly enjoyed 1) your display of the groceries cost updating as you listed off what you bought, 2) fitting the ingredients per meal in the screen, 3) the little things like the minipeppers, arugula, and avocado blinking like lights, 4) the background music nicely being at a low level in contrast with the sound of your narration, & 5) I think we have the same pan!
    I imagine this took a lot of time! Keep it up :D

    Many people already said Italian-Inspired recipes would be great and I can only second that. But really interesting would also be French Food. The French cuisine is so diverse and I bet you could find some quite rare gems to make. Thanks for asking.

      Veganizing French cuisine can be really tricky but it's worth it !! If you're interested and you speak French there's a fantastic cookbook called A la française by Sébastien Kardinal where he veganizes tons of different French recipes, I HIGHLY recommend it :p I hope it will be translated soon for those who don't speak French !

    I transitioned to veganism a few months ago and I was so afraid that it would be difficult until I started doing my own research and came across your CZcams channel as well as some other vegan channels. You really have made it clear that veganism is actually incredibly easy and I've been having so much fun recreating your meals and sometimes even adding my own flare to them

    Caitlin - EXCELLENT PRESENTATION !!!!! It is SOOOO refreshing to see that you didn't "follow suit" like many other DIY videos that subject the viewer to the same boring "watching water come up to a boil" shots.... I LOVE your use of the "time lapse - speed frame" effect to show the cooking steps yet not spend the real time having to sit through it. ADDITIONALLY - Your addition of the dollar amount budget costs for all of the meals as well as the individual meal cost is BRILLIANT !!! So many people do not add this element into their videos, and it's a helpful tool - you really have a knack for making interesting and helpful videos. The only suggestion I would have (and it's very small one) - is to think about adding the date (like "Summer of 2017") somewhere on the screen (like a bug or a crawl) to show a reference as to when your prices were paid.... WELL DONE !!!! KEEP MAKING YOUR VIDEOS - You have a real future in doing these!!!

    Hi guys the traditional way to make Mexican rice a tip in case you guys want to try it. First you going to choose the rice that you want to cook Mexicans usually use white rice and sometimes brown rice you add a little bit of oil in your Skillet and saute your rice for a little bit. Don't let it burn. Blend in fresh tomatos (2) in the blender one small garlic (you could also use garlic powder onion powder) half a onion pepper and if you want optional a little bit of cilantro. You add this to your skillet. The heat of your Skillet will cook through your Raw salsa. Add water ( for one cup of rice is 2 cups of water) and salt to taste. Cover it for 20 minutes. Within this time. Don't let the steam come out. Have it in medium Heat and do not mix it. it's done add half a lime to your rice. That is the recipe for arroz Rojo. You can also add veggies like corn carrots anything you want when you add your water add your veggies too.

      Hi Morgan, CZcams got back to me and said that there were no issues with the video. They recommended that if you cannot view it, you do the following (going to copy and paste) " (1) Clear cache and cookies
      (2) Use other browsers
      (3) Reset or restart your device/computer
      (4) Use other device
      Should it still give you the same error, please let us know and if you can provide a screenshot, that would be better. " I'm sorry the solution isn't more simple! :(

      @marley3156 Před 7 lety +7

      This was "Mexican themed" and those aren't Mexican spices so I think she was just trying to be authentic. But for sure that would taste good as well!

      ror ror garlic, orégano, chile (LOTS of varieties and ways to prepare), cummin, epazote, chicken broth....
      We dont use, for example, paprika, cayenne, chili flakes, basil...
      We also put lemon (green one, not the yellow one) in many dishes and snacks.

      why this emoji "😈" though? I'm Russian by the way ;) actually we have so many vegan recipes or vegetarian but you can omit the cheese or replace it with a vegan cheese, beetroot soup"borshch", mushroom and potato soup, cabbage soup "Shchi", noodles soup, sour kraut/mushrooms/mashed potato/mashed sweet potato stuffed perogies, olivier salad "without the pork and eggs of course" and so many other soups and recipes, some of them have meats or chicken but it's not the main so it's easy to just omit it

      Did you listen to my description? The most expensive meal was actually $3ish :) Plus I purchased organic foods, and not all of your meals are going to cost the same amount! For example, when I eat oatmeal with banana and peanut butter for breakfast, that probably costs less than $1

      Natasha Antunovich That is your problem and nowhere near cheap. My sister and her boyfriend need 300/month together! I used to shop and shop and shop groceries and I'd come to around 70€ + School lunch which is insane! One single person doesn't need to spend 70€ on groceries for 7 days!
