"I'm exhausted from the effort of being alive". Thank you for your honesty. You aren't the only one, I'm sure others including myself can relate. Yes show us how you cook from scratch.
I'd love to see more what I eat in a days or if when you make it to a market, your grocery haul. :)
To save time, I make my own "fast food" by doing large batches of basic items (e.g., 2 or 3 pounds of peas/beans) every few weeks and then I have these precooked foods in the refrigerator and more in the freezer on hand to supplement my daily meals/ingredients. I soak 2 to 3 pounds of peas/beans (you can use a wide variety together) for up to 24 hours and then cook on low heat for 2 hours. Very little time or attention needed; while these foods are slow-cooking, you can be working, doing chores, or other things. After the first hour of cooking peas/beans by themselves, I fill the rest of the big pot with ground-foods (e.g., sweet potatoes, yams, cassava, potatoes) and vegetables, depending on what is available. This makes great use of the heat and the time that would be otherwise used for the peas/beans alone. For me, this approach gives ample food towards my daily cooking for up to 3 weeks.
Yayyyy I love your videos!!!! I now learned a new tip to freeze lime and lemon slices for warm water!! And I get some inspiration from your meals to vary mine up. Thank you!! Please make more videos 🙏
It is commendable that you make your nut-butter and your bread at home! You never know what you are actually getting when you buy stuff off supermarket shelves. Do you use raw nuts/seeds? Would be curious to know how you make your nut-butter(s) and bread(s). I have found joy in making my meals every day at home
You gave several disclaimers throughout your show today, but I do like your efforts towards more healthful choices: e.g., [a] water and pure teas; [b] fresh fruits, [c] vegetables, [d] raw nuts and seeds (much better than roasted/salted/sweetened products), [e] peas/beans/legumes, and [f] genuine whole grains. The less processed is the better . . . and usually cheaper.
One caution that I would share with you relates to the last few minutes of today's video: you had your pet in the kitchen. I would recommend that you keep animals out of the kitchen altogether [a] both for their safety and yours, . . . [b] to avoid accidents (e.g., they can distract you or knock against your feet while you are handling heat/flame), . . . and [c] to keep yourself, your kitchen, and your food-environment wholesome and hygienic.
Have you tried to replace the manufactured meat-substitutes with real foods/meals at home? E.g., you can save money while enhancing your nutritional content by using nuts, seeds, peas, beans, etc. as they tend to be readily available, wide variety of shapes, sizes, colours, textures, and flavours . . . . I find that these real, whole foods are filling even in small servings. Some are quite expensive per pound but with overall balance of more expensive items and less expensive items, relatively small servings, and their high nutritional value, etc., they are excellent value for money with a low weighted-average cost per serving. E.g., where I live almond butter is the equivalent of U.S.$11 for 1.50 lbs and peanut butter is U.S.$10 for a 3-lb. jar, but using 2 or 3 jars of peanut butter to a jar of almond butter gives a weighted average cost per pound that is reasonable . . . and the cost per serving (e.g., 1 or 2 tablespoonfuls) is low compared with the nutritional value.
