    Ugh Nicki I just really love you and your content and how inspired I feel after your videos! You make me want to create my own cozy vibes, do things that make me happy, cook delicious vegan food, and all the other fuzzy happy things in life! I cannot WAIT to try the lentil loaf recipe, I do have another one that I really love but I want to try yours too because it looks so so good! Thank you for just being such a great inspiration, for sharing your life with us, and your editing is really well done too. Sending good vibes from KC MO!

I have to say, I really enjoy grocery shopping (not all the time...sometimes it's all business, gotta run in and run out....but when I can, I like to linger in each section, look at the options, maybe try something new. I find it fun and it inspires me to get more creative in the kitchen) And thank you for saying that you'd be excited about a cookbook. I don't think you'll have to wait too much longer! Hint. Hint. 😉❤️

    Hi, can't wait to make the jalapeno sauce! In the voiceover you mention including some pickled jalapenos, but the written recipe says just a few T of juice from the jar. Did you add the actual jalapenos or just the juice? Thanks.

    • @NikkiVegan

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  11 місяців тому +1

      haha I hear you! In my experience that happens when it's not very fresh! Like it can be dry and unpleasant. But when it's fresh it's tender and peppery and really nice with a punchy, vinegary dressing. If you don't like it though, no sweat. There's way to many delicious foods on this planet to eat something you don't like. Eat what makes you happy 😊

    I live in an area where's there's no all vegan establishments so supporting the ones with the options will send the message that there is a market for it. (I live in cattle/pork farming country. 😔)

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  11 місяців тому +1

      I totally agree! I find that creating a demand for vegan items in non vegan places is a slow but important step towards creating more options for everyone. I know it's hard though, so sending you a big hug. That's honestly why I started learning vegan baking and make my own homemade treats. When I first went vegan, there weren't a lot of comfort foods like cakes and cookies and familiar flavors so I recreated my favorites at home with what I had. There were a lot more options in the years to follow, especially when I was living in LA, but the first few years were a different story. My friends and I would drive for hours to go to vegan festivals or try new vegan restaurants in another town because it was so exiting to find vegan burgers and tacos and donuts and stuff like that. Those experiences led to a lot of experimenting in the kitchen and now I have tons of recipes that use pretty simple ingredients if you ever need any recommendations. Sweet or savory, just let me know. I'm more than happy to help 😊😊

      Idk, we also go to non-vegan supermarkets. Every smaller business is in a way funded or supported by a major complex that supports suffering. This is the world...not directly supporting suffering is the best choice we can make.
