  • Hey everyone! Today I'm doing a haul of the foods I purchased at the market for this week's meals as well as showing how I made them! Excluding the ketchup my grocery bill was under $30 bucks! Hope this video is helpful. Do you have any inexpensive meals you like to make? If so then share them below!

    How long do you bake the lentil loaf?

    • @thechicnatural
      @thechicnatural  Před 7 lety +92

      I don't really time it, I usually just go by how it looks. But I think around 30-40 mins at 375.

      Hey can you help me i have a question? How do you remain vegan in the black community when we use traditional soul food for most get togethers and specials occasions? Also love your channel im trying to transition to vegan

      Redmonroe5 Hey , you didn't ask me, but usually the person that makes the bulk of the meals, let them know, and they will prepare alternatives for you. My whole family eats soul food (& would drop a hamhock in some greens quick, lol) but it's very helpful when your family is semi-supportive- mine are always cracking jokes , lol. I sometimes bring my own food , too, they can be forgetful.

    I'm proud to say being type 1 diabetic and having stage 3 thyroid cancer, I recently turned into a vegan. I am on a mission to prove my doctors wrong and show them I can heal my body with food alone❤️ I'm happy I found this vegan community on YT for so much support ❤️❤️

    another oatmeal recipe is to make banana oatmeal cookies. mash a ripe banana uncooked oats and place it on a cookie sheet in circles like you are making cookies and bake it in the oven on 350° for about 5 -10 minutes.

  • @hazeleanne2991
    @hazeleanne2991 Před 7 lety +271

    I make overnight oats- put equal parts oats and vanilla almond milk. then I add a fruit and cinnamon or honestly whatever else. the best part is it requires no sweetener bc the almond milk and fruit are sweet enough for me

    • @hazeleanne2991
      @hazeleanne2991 Před 7 lety +27

      I also mash a ripe banana in a bowl with some oats, a fruit, and maple syrup and bake it. Omg it comes out so sweet and soft and tender. I can literally eat the whole tray in one sitting but that's sinful 😪

    When I was a vegan I pretty much ate the same things for the week too, so I completely understand where you are coming from. Here's some ideas that may be of some interest to you that I do sometimes that are inexpensive. For breakfast besides oatmeal try oatmeal pancakes using the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, pure vanilla, almond milk, (optional half of a banana). For lunch or dinner I used to make Bulgar wheat with slices of Avocado. Or Red quinoa with pieces of spinach in it and boil a side of yams or vegetable barley soup or whole wheat thin pasta with red, orange, yellow bell peppers, onions, fresh garlic (I added some coconut oil, thyme & garlic salt- made this yesterday with turkey meatballs). Also i used to eat vegan falafel in pita bread with lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, cucumber and you can add some tahini sauce and lastly veggie quesadillas (with vegan cheese). Hope these ideas are helpful!
