Hooray, I am so proud of you! We are a vegan family and have been so for almost 5 years. Good for you for going outside your comfort zone, you did a great job!
My go to vegetarian meal is a chick pea and vegetable stir fry. Cut into julienne strips any combination of veg you have like onion, pepper, carrots, zucchini, cabbage. Stiri fry till still crisp. Add a tin of drained chick peas. Mix all together and add sauce like sweet chilli or soya sauce to taste. Quick, easy and delicious!
Wow, Lori, Amanda, and Marilyn thank you for requesting this challenge! I would have requested the same. I've been an ethical vegan for over 12 years now, so I am vegan for the animals not for health reasons (but the benefits are indisputable - just read the China Study!) I am so impressed with you Emmy and Paul, for giving this a try and sharing the outstanding results with your audience. Also, I must give a shout out to everyone in the comments section for being so positive and kind! We vegans sometimes get a reputation of being preachy, and none of my fellow vegans did that - so there goes that myth! My own husband is an omnivore, so no judgement on my part either. We coexist very peacefully!! Whether you do it for the animals, for the planet, for your health or waistline - I thank you. If you are full-time vegan like me, or partly vegan, or vegetarian - I see you, and I'm grateful. Take it as far as you authentically can. As far as my favorite vegan meals, my motto is "anything you can eat, I can eat vegan." Seriously, you can deliciously veganize anything!! Emmy - try some vegan baking. You will be amazed!
@@FrugalMoneySaver You should be very proud of the loving and supportive community you two have created 💙 ❤️ I hope to continue becoming more frugal with your great ideas 💡
Emmy and Paul, it makes me so happy that you chose to create two vegan meals for your first challenge, and I see that you have a very big vegan crowd of followers! I have been vegan for 5 years and it was the best decision I could do for my health. The burgers and collards look so delicious, I'll definitely be trying those recipes. And thank you for being so considerate as to go to the length of finding out that sugar might not be vegan, not everybody knows that! Emmy, you should be proud that you cooked beans from scratch, two challenges in one, yay!
Vegan here, and I will definitely try your recipes shown here. My family loves potato soup (use almond milk, potatoes, add some diced carrots and cabbage, onions, and green onions). Bean chili. Mashed potatoes with vegan cheesy sauce on top or mushroom gravy. Loaded baked potatoes. Pinto bean soup topped with yellow banana peppers. Stir fry veggies over rice. Bean or mushroom and veggie burritos. I freeze anything I can't eat in two days and make individual servings. Great for nights you don't want to cook and nothing goes to waste. Can take to work with you and it's like you're getting a free lunch. I love your curly hair, by the way. You're a lucky girl!
I switched to a whole food plant based diet 2 years ago and have not looked back!. Lost 80lbs and reversed many health problems. Keep up the great videos! ❤️
Can't wait to try both recipes. I went whole food, plant based in December and love all the foods. One very simple item I do to keep in the fridge is one can kidney beans, one can black beans (both rinsed and drained), can of corn, and either a jar of salsa or fired roasted tomatoes. Heat up and can eat as a soup or topping on potatoes, etc. Sometimes I add potatoes and carrots to this mixture for a stew like soup. Nice flavor, inexpensive, goes a long way and can be used so many different ways. PS you will be surprised at how many diseases can be reversed through a whole food, plant based diet. I love it and love your channel.
@@greenlady43 Thank you for the recipe definition of Cowboy Caviar. The ingredients you listed are the ones I use when cooking my dried black beans. No wonder they usually taste so good. I was making cowboy caviar an didn't know I was doing it.
Am I allowed to say how much I LOVE that you all are pushing the boundaries of what you're comfortable with? Big huge kudos...food preferences can be HUGE barriers and look at you two go. I love my IP too, for what it's worth, and my air fryer!
Chickpea curry! Can of coconut milk Can of chickpeas Can Diced tomatoes 3 tsp curry powder 1 tsp red pepper flakes Whatever veggies you have on hand! I like carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms in mine.
Vegan for 4 years here! I have endless recipes because I love to cook but here is an easy go-to off the top of my head. “Mushroom cream pasta”. 1/2 cup cashews, put in a bowl of hot water until covered and set on counter for 15 minutes (this makes them easier to blend smooth). While waiting on that, add 1 container chopped mushrooms to a skillet with 2 tbsps olive oil and sauté with 1/2 finely diced onion until soft. Set aside. Add softened drained cashews, 3/4 cup plant milk (any non sweetened is fine, I like oat milk) 1/3 cup nutritional yeast powder (tastes just like cheese not expensive, I like Trader Joe’s), 1/4 tsp salt, pepper, and 1 tsp garlic and onion powder to the cashews into your little blender and blend 30 seconds. Add to pan with mushrooms, onions and 1 pound cooked and drained pasta. Sometimes I add a little frozen spinach if I have it on hand and heat all together until hot throughout. It tastes like a restaurant quality dish with amazing flavor! Enjoy!!
White chili. It’s made with white beans , cauliflower, patatoes, vegetables broth, garlic, cumin and chili powder. Top it with cheese, sour cream and coriander😊
Hello my friends I’m happy you enjoyed your vegan recipes! I cook lots of vegan meals and one of my current favorites is Mango Curry It’s also an instant pot recipe. 2 cans garbanzo beans ( drained) 2 cups frozen mango 2TB Maple syrup 1 TB curry powder 1 tsp ginger 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1/8 tsp cinnamon And a dash of red pepper flakes Add everything to your instant pot and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes Natural release. Great over rice!😀
The burger mix looks most appealing to me. I like Paul’s idea for tacos or enchiladas. I don’t have any vegan type recipes, I’m just omitting meat a couple of times a week. It’s more like a meal of all side dishes.
Congratulations on trying new things. I started to cut out meat last year in June 2021 and then started some intermittent fasting to eat healthier. Lost 15 lbs. One of my fav meals is refried black beans with salsa and shredded cabbage on a home made tortilla. I make them into a burrito, wrap in foil and put in the refrigerator. When I’m ready to eat I cook them at about 375 - 400 unwrapped in a toaster oven about 15 mins. I usually eat 1 1/2 to 2 with some fruit. There is an incredible New World that opens up with so many new flavors, pretty colors when the meat drops off.
So glad you were willing to try vegan recipes. I’ve been eating vegan/plant based for a little over a year now. There’s so many wonderful recipes out there. And with the price of meat . . . So glad I made the change! Great job!
Yes!! Thank you so much for this video! As you know, I am vegan. Eating a plant based diet is, in general, much much cheaper than an omnivorous or even vegetarian diet. Not to mention being better for you, the planet and all the animals!
OK this goes back to when I went meatless 63 years ago, Carrot Dogs! I parboil 4 carrots, if you like garlic throw a clove in the boiling water, if you have ever had a Sabaret, or a Nathans hot dog off a cart in New York City they have garlic in the boiling water. Don't let the carrots get soft just 1/2 way done. throw the carrot dogs on the grill and brush them with barbeque sauce. Add grilled onions, mustard, barbeque sauce, ketchup or sauerkraut, simple and so delicious, I used Ezekiel buns, they are sprouted wheat. You must try them, they are so good! Annies BBQ Sauce is vegan, I use Red Bermuda Onions slices thin and left in the whole slice, as the onions grill break apart the slices. Perfect for summer cookouts.
You guys rocked this challenge. Well done! Our favorite vegan meals are chili (using beans instead of meat) and stir fry (using tofu in place of meat). So healthy AND economical. Win win! 😁
Nice video!! Being raised by two now late parents who experienced the food shortages during the Great Depression where eating meat was a luxury reserved for holidays and occasionally on Sundays mostly to flavor some vegetable, soup or casserole, many of those meatless dishes carried over to my childhood despite the fact that my parents could afford to readily purchase meat. My late Italian mother could whip together the most delicious meatless meals, and still a favorite of mine to this day was her potato, egg, and pepper omlet. And my father who grew up in south introduced us to tomato and mayo sandwiches especially good when made with fresh tomatoes picked right out of our garden. And my norma made the most delicious spaghetti sauce by just throwing in a couple of chunks of stick pepperoni for flavoring, and she always made extra sauce to put over her eggplant parmesan which was light, crispy, and melted in your mouth which the eggplants too came right out of our garden. And I suspect my mother and norna had the most beautiful skin even at the end of their lives because of their zero processed foods low mesat diets along with simple lifestyle.
Our favorite meatless meal is just a baked potato (made in the air fryer) with butter, salt and pepper, cheese, sliced sauteed mushrooms, and whatever other veggies we happen to have! SO delicious, filling, and NO meat needed!
We love lentils and brown rice, and onions and some water. We serve it in a pita or wrap. Add spices you like. Cook it until rice is done in a stockpot.
My secret is out! Vegan meals is how I have a delicious $1 a day per person food budget. Staple foods prepared in tasty ways. Our favorite meatless meal is any vegetable soup made with chickpeas and homegrown collard greens or kale. Sauté onion, carrot, and celery in a olive or coconut oil with sea salt and garlic. Add cooked chickpeas, any leftover vegetable, pasta water, nutritional yeast, vegetable stock or water, parsley or thyme, and chopped greens. Serve over basmati rice or quinoa, with a side of cornbread. Sometimes we add coconut milk and curry powder with peanut butter as a thickener. Everything is good over basmati rice.
Grilled portobello mushrooms! Love this substitute for burgers. Dress them as you like. Also can be served with mashed potatoes, gravy and fresh veggie of your choice
Great job in trying these vegan recipes! One meatless dish I like is toast with avocado spread over it and then put an over/easy egg on top. Or you could put the eggs over hashbrown potatoes and have toast on the side.
The older I get the less meat I eat. I truly believe that the western world eats too much meat, and eating less is not only good for our budgets, the environment and our health. I am going to make the beans, I love black eyed peas. I have never seen collard greens in shops here in Australia, will try kale instead. My favourite vegetarian meals are. Vegan Boston baked beans, vegetarian Red beans and rice, falafel, hummus and taboulli.
I remember the old pressure cookers so I also am afraid of the new insta pot, don't have one but I will use my crock pot. I will be trying the burgers! Wonderful wonderful video Emmy and Paul. This is my favorite channel on YT.
I'm also a total plant-based eater...almost 7 years now...no meat, eggs, dairy, cheese, etc. I am sooo proud of you two! You're fearless! I eat this way all the time! (As a matter of fact, I am writing a cookbook....I have 6 months to get it done)....My hubby, not so much..he eats meat whenever he can and you know I've got critters...but he will eat "beastless" with me a couple of times a week! And, so what a cost saving as well..even if you guys were to do this once, twice a week...awesome! You guys are AWESOME! Food warriors! :) Again, thank you for the beautiful video...worth the wait! Great tv for me! And, thanks for keeping it totally plant-based). Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Thank you so much for the vegan entrées! You guys are great and I know that you are not vegan but it was good to see you step out and try something new and healthy. Love watching your show and this was just the icing on the cake! Thank you again.
We love Lebanese lentils & brown rice made into a salad with shredded cabbage, cucumber and both yogurt mint sauce and cilantro jalapeño sauce as the dressing.
I may have to try those bean burgers. My favorite meatless meal in our rotation is summer bean salad. I chop and add the following to it: black beans, corn, green pepper, onion, tomato, carrots and cucumber. After chopping the veggies I season the salad with lime juice, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning and any other seasoning that seems like a good match.
I’m so glad you now like beans. There are so many different kinds. I challenge you to try a new bean twice a month. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I fix a pot of beans about every 10 days. I use one pound and we get at least 3 meals for the three of us. If I make too much, beans freeze great. A little ham and bean soup with a little cabbage soup is delicious. Reminds us of minestrone. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Off the top of my head I don’t have a specific vegan recipe because I Veganized pretty much everything. But we do thoroughly enjoy any kind of Mexican food pumped up with beans and veggies, and we also like potatoes in our tacos! Asian stirfries, veggie pastas and pizzas, and if you are adventurous, tofu is incredibly versatile! It takes on the flavor of whatever you are making. It’s great in Asian food, but also makes an awesome breakfast sandwich! Happy cooking!
Want to try both recipes! I'm a "wing-it" type cook but spaghetti conversion is so easy. Just substitute mushrooms for the meat. A few months ago, I made "Chinese cashew chicken" WITHOUT the chicken. Ir was just as good as the Chinese cafe's!
Great recipes!! My favorite appliance is my Instant pot...we are 7 yrs together now😁. I actually prefer vegetables over meat. I love veggie burgers and cabbage "steaks". 😋 (head of cabbage cut in think steak like slices and seasoned with your favorite spices and then roasted in the oven)
Love Vegan recipes, they are great money savers. I.like to make.... Sweet potato and spinach curry Rhubarb and lentil dahl Woolton pie Roasted vegetables with lemon cous cous Good luck trying more recipes.
Good for you Paul and Emmy! I will admit I was not a huge fan of beans until I hit my 30s and started trying a lot of really creative recipes. So no recipes here but just some ideas that we use for vegan and vegetarian meals. I like to make minestrone soup without the ground beef sometimes and I use black, kidney and garbanzo beans. We love seasoned cannellini beans with brown rice. We really love quiche right now, for breakfast lunch or dinner, and it’s so versatile with the ingredients that you can add to it. You can also make a cassoulet which is a French casserole and just make it with beans instead of adding the meat to it. Can’t wait to see next Tuesday’s video!
My favorite is the veggie chili with zucchini, yellow squash, corn, carrots, onions, lentils, black & kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and veggie broth. Seasonings boullion cube, Italian, cumin, sea salt, pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, minced garlic and onion powder. Tip: for dry beans soak in water overnight will soften better as they cook. Cook on low in crockpot 6-7 hours.
If you are really ready to try some more vegan bean recipes I suggest substituting your regular spaghetti with the Barilla brand of protein+ pasta in the yellow boxed packaging. It is so yummy and more filling. The Ronzoni vegetable rotini pasta is also good for cold summer salads. It's the vegetable pasta made with spinach, zucchini, parsley and two other green veggies or herbs. A complete vegan meal using these two pastas. Suggest the Barilla protein+ elbow style pasta for this combination of pastas . These pastas cook a little faster then regular flour based pastas. The dark green Ronzoni vegetable rotini cooks rather fast. To take the meal plan to a next level to become a vegetarian meal add the real egg noodle pasta for your animal based protein. A true emergency pantry meal.
Thank you for the vegan burger recipe! A lot of the veggie burgers that I see are made with oats and my body just doesn't digest oats well so it's nice to see a non oat recipe!
So glad you ventured into vegan recipes. I've been a (mostly) plant based eater for about a decade. Lowered my blood sugar and blood pressure drastically.
Hubby and I watched you this morning and enjoyed seeing new recipes. We are not vegan but don't always have meat. My husband is 81 and I'm 75 so old eating habits are a challenge for us. My husband said he'd like the beans and collards but we'd have to leave out the smoke flavor, which doesn't agree with us. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Blessings :)
The collards and black-eyed peas speak right to my Southern roots. In fact, those are two ingredients we eat on New Year’s for luck and prosperity! For an extra Southern touch, cornbread would be good with that. 😉
Great recipes Emmy, it is always a pleasure to. watch your videos and watch Paul test tasting your meals. my favorite recipe is a falafal burger from chickpeas that i cooked with my instant pot.
The recipes look delicious. My favorite meatless meal growing up was our "Garden Dinner". We had green beans and potatoes, corn on the cob, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. All out of the garden. I haven't had luck with gardening. I miss when my dad used to have a big garden. The food was so good.
Oh my gosh! My dad would tell my mom "We are eating out oof the garden tonight!" All the wonderful things you mentioned and a loaf of Italian bread LOL!
Thank you for having this episode. As a 12 year vegan, it was nice to see you offering this option. I admit that I would usually forward all the meat recipes and shopping, but I love all the other advice you offer and look forward to every episode.
one of my favorite meatless meals is a baked potato with all the fixings and a nice salad-simple and quick! great video! i may have to try these recipes!
Great job! Emmy, I'm Italian-American like you, and I love Polenta with Garlicky Greens. Chop any greens--chard, spinach, kale, collards, etc.-- and saute in a little olive oil with plenty of fresh minced garlic. You could add onion, red pepper flakes, however you like it. Serve over soft cooked polenta that you've topped with Parmesan or a vegan alternative, if preferred. Leftover polenta can be cut into slices the next day and pan fried or baked until crispy on both sides. Thanks for another fun video!
The meals looked scrumptious the wisteria a joy BUT Dixie stole the show. What a precious little girl with her soft brown eyes and waggerly tail waiting for you with all her love. Dearest little poppet.
My favourite meatless meals are soups and I usually put collard greens in some soups. It’s how I eat vegetables the best way for me because I was raised eating soup that my mom made the best. It’s also economical. You have very nice recipes on your channel and you are such a sweet couple. Blessings to you also❤️
I have been so busy with "spring" and so many to-do's I've gotten behind in watching your videos. I just loved this video. Now I have to sit down with my notebook and go through these comments! What a treasure of information and ideas. My daughter eats vegetarian, so I will be trying several of these ideas!
Both of those looked delicious! Our favorite "meatless" meal is pinto beans, fried potatoes and cornbread. (We live in Texas) I always enjoy your videos!
Omg, Emmy we are eating two meatless meals a week and I was just looking up bean burgers 😀 We love pinto beans with cornbread and baked potato with a side salad I'm so trying all kinds of food Love y'all
My favorite meal that I make all the time is what I call Mexican rice bowl. Brown rice on the bottom then 1/2 cup black beans then cooked peppers and onions,topped with green onions and salsa and quacamole
Thanks for being open minded and trying vegan recipes! I'm glad it went well. The recipes look delicious and you know how economical beans can be. I'm pleased you tried and enjoyed this experiment. Thank you!!!
Your Dixie pup is precious! Emmie you have convinced me to try the instapot which is also sitting in a box at my house .I have been terrified to use it ... Haha …It must be our generation and the memories of those old pressure cookers we were told to not go near as kids. Bravo for you! Those recipes sound delicious.
Congratulations, you discovered the best basic seasoning to convert the two of you to liking basic brown/green lentils. Suggest adding about a 1/4 cup of tomato or pasta sauce of choice to your seasoning mixture while cooking the beans or lentils. The addition of some diced potatoes and or turnups is also a good addition to your black eyed pea or the lentil recipe. Vegan and vegetarian recipes really help a person explore so many new combinations of seasonings and combination fruits and or vegetables. A lot of the Weight Watcher quick start cookbooks from the 1980's and 1990's have good recipes that can easily be adapted to a vegan or vegetarian diet. Bon Appetit.
Recently started watching your videos and enjoy your positivity. I’be been vegan for 15 years, so seeing you try vegan food with an open mind was lovely. My weekly meals are three bean chilli ( easy, cheap and delicious), lentil shepherd’s pie. Again cheap and easy. Always use puy or French lentils as they hold their shape and texture. Chickpea and veg curry. No meat loaf, gorgeous - so many recipes for this online. And a basic pasta sauce with roasted Mediterranean veg and pasta, which I have with a crusty roll and side salad. It’s always best to steer away from faux meats when giving vegan food to non vegans and it’s cheaper and way more healthy. It would be great to see you do some vegan baking. Vegan brownies are awesome and vegan sticky toffee pudding. ❤
One of our favorites is Hearty Lentil Stew. It's not vegan but it is vegetarian and it's especially easy because lentils don't need to be soaked and generally cook in 30 minutes. I got it from a website that I use a lot and I didn't know if I should link to it, but if so I'd be glad to offer the link. I'm so glad you tried some bean recipes and I'm going to have to try that burger recipe! You guys were so brave to give those recipes a shot.
Thank you for the inspiration. I like to pop a well cooked sweet potato in the blender with plenty of garlic, several quick splashes of lemon juice, tahini, and enough water to blend it smooth...sweet potato hummus...put that on your brushetta.
I am vegetarian and am moving towards being vegan. My go to lunch is a combination of avocado toast and beans on toast. I toast a large slice of sourdough bread. Then smash a quarter of an avocado and then top with canned beans of choice. I usually put hot sauce on top and enjoy. Miss DixieBelle is ADORABLE! Much love from Arizona 🌈✌🏾
Love this! I make quesadillas....maybe shredded cheese, diced tomato, diced green or jalapeno pepper, etc.....OR shredded cheese and seasoned black beans...whatever we're in the mood for. Serve with salsa/sour cream/guacamole/refried beans, etc. I make sweet potato salad: Boil or bake sweet potatoes until tender, cool, peel, dice into desired consistency (I like it pureed/my family likes a small dice...you can guess who wins, lol)...add to a bowl, chop red or other onion fine and add to bowl, add a little salt, cayenne or black pepper, smoked paprika, and a bit of honey...add mayo to desired consistency. I like this hot...my family eats it cold. God bless!
Great video - I definitely will try the burger recipe. I don't have an instant pot but maybe I can make the beans and greens in my slow cooker and just give it more time. I am not a vegetarian but I eat a lot of meatless Mexican meals - there's usually cheese and salsa involved, but refried beans or other pinto beans are super tasty with rice or chips. Lots of good Mexican vegetarian options. Thanks for your videos - I loved seeing Dixie at the end! She really does rule the roost!
I am eating plant based as much as possible. It’s very difficult because I live with a bunch of ravenous carnivores. It’s also difficult because of my ethic background ( mother was Native American) I am learning I can veganize anything now
The more vegan meals you eat the more money you will save the better you will feel and you will lose excess weight even if it’s only 10 lbs Have been plant based since September 2021 Don’t miss meat at all a bit of fish but no meat. Have you tried roasted sweet potato topped with black beans it’s yummy and put some caramelised red onions too cheers from Australia 🦘🦘
Emmie, you and Paul are brave to go out of your comfort zone. I have never had those type of beans or collards. I do like beans, I do the package that has 15 different kinds in one package, they wonderful and always use my Instant Pot. I enjoy greens, but never had collards. I love you two and little doggie too.
Oh my goodness, these vegan burger looks amazing. I will try them next week! Our quick and frugal and easy meal is home made pizza. I will send you my trick to get a really quick home made pizza in an e-mail right now. 😊
We do Meatless Mondays! Our favorite dish is veggie pasta, fresh veggies in a light lemony cream sauce with any short cut pasta. It's so delicious! I will have to try that burger recipe, love the idea of using it for a filling!
Hello Emmy and Paul, great video! ’m not vegetarian, but have enjoyed meatless meals for many years. My favorite is garbanzo bean patties with cucumber yogurt sauce. Soooo good.
InstaPots are the best. I like to make rice and refried beans in mine. A YT channel called Plant Based Dads has some great Vegan recipes. Joey is awesome !
my favorite sort of vegan recipe is using some decent brand jar of plain marinara sauce and chopped up and sauteed zucchini and mushrooms-you can add can of garbanzo beans and eat this with any pasta-you will not miss meat in it at all. Im glad you found use for your insta-pot -sometimes we have gadgets in the kitchen and takes us some time to finally get used to them and even like them.
Wonderful video! Will definitely try the burger. Cost of meat is pushing me to try adding a vegetarian meal every 10 days! Here in New Mexico my Chili Relleno casserole is not Vegan because of the eggs and cheese but very delicious
As a vegan for the last 5 years, I appreciate and thank you for sharing some plant-based meals.
YAY! Glad you enjoyed them!
Hooray, I am so proud of you! We are a vegan family and have been so for almost 5 years. Good for you for going outside your comfort zone, you did a great job!
Thanks for the encouragement Sharon!!
My go to vegetarian meal is a chick pea and vegetable stir fry. Cut into julienne strips any combination of veg you have like onion, pepper, carrots, zucchini, cabbage. Stiri fry till still crisp. Add a tin of drained chick peas. Mix all together and add sauce like sweet chilli or soya sauce to taste. Quick, easy and delicious!

Thanks Jill, we really did!
Vegan for 4 years here! I have endless recipes because I love to cook but here is an easy go-to off the top of my head. “Mushroom cream pasta”. 1/2 cup cashews, put in a bowl of hot water until covered and set on counter for 15 minutes (this makes them easier to blend smooth). While waiting on that, add 1 container chopped mushrooms to a skillet with 2 tbsps olive oil and sauté with 1/2 finely diced onion until soft. Set aside.

Add to pan with mushrooms, onions and 1 pound cooked and drained pasta. Sometimes I add a little frozen spinach if I have it on hand and heat all together until hot throughout. It tastes like a restaurant quality dish with amazing flavor! Enjoy!!
That actually sounds great!
White chili. It’s made with white beans , cauliflower, patatoes, vegetables broth, garlic, cumin and chili powder. Top it with cheese, sour cream and coriander😊
Sounds great!

Thanks so much for sharing!! Sounds great Stephanie!
The burger mix looks most appealing to me. I like Paul’s idea for tacos or enchiladas. I don’t have any vegan type recipes, I’m just omitting meat a couple of times a week. It’s more like a meal of all side dishes.
I actually like that best honestly! A plate of yummy sides!
Congratulations on trying new things. I started to cut out meat last year in June 2021 and then started some intermittent fasting to eat healthier. Lost 15 lbs. One of my fav meals is refried black beans with salsa and shredded cabbage on a home made tortilla. I make them into a burrito, wrap in foil and put in the refrigerator. When I’m ready to eat I cook them at about 375 - 400 unwrapped in a toaster oven about 15 mins. I usually eat 1 1/2 to 2 with some fruit. There is an incredible
New World that opens up with so many new flavors, pretty colors when the meat drops off.
Yes, I would think it really would!
I am 65 and although I'm not vegan, I have been vegetarian for 17 years.
I am always looking for new things to try.
Thank you!
So happy you enjoyed the video!
Have you tried roasted sweet potatoes topped with caramelised onions and black beans and fried off mushrooms it’s delish cheers from Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘
@@ritalawson7020 That sounds good. I will have to give it a try. Thanks!
So glad you were willing to try vegan recipes. I’ve been eating vegan/plant based for a little over a year now. There’s so many wonderful recipes out there. And with the price of meat . . . So glad I made the change! Great job!
Thanks so very much Wendy!
Yes!! Thank you so much for this video! As you know, I am vegan. Eating a plant based diet is, in general, much much cheaper than an omnivorous or even vegetarian diet. Not to mention being better for you, the planet and all the animals!
OK this goes back to when I went meatless 63 years ago, Carrot Dogs! I parboil 4 carrots, if you like garlic throw a clove in the boiling water, if you have ever had a Sabaret, or a Nathans hot dog off a cart in New York City they have garlic in the boiling water. Don't let the carrots get soft just 1/2 way done. throw the carrot dogs on the grill and brush them with barbeque sauce. Add grilled onions, mustard, barbeque sauce, ketchup or sauerkraut, simple and so delicious, I used Ezekiel buns, they are sprouted wheat. You must try them, they are so good! Annies BBQ Sauce is vegan, I use Red Bermuda Onions slices thin and left in the whole slice, as the onions grill break apart the slices. Perfect for summer cookouts.
Oh my goodness! Carrot dogs!! Wow! I will have to try this Kate! Thanks!
You guys rocked this challenge. Well done! Our favorite vegan meals are chili (using beans instead of meat) and stir fry (using tofu in place of meat). So healthy AND economical. Win win! 😁
So kind as always Shannon! Thank you!
Nice video!! Being raised by two now late parents who experienced the food shortages during the Great Depression where eating meat was a luxury reserved for holidays and occasionally on Sundays mostly to flavor some vegetable, soup or casserole, many of those meatless dishes carried over to my childhood despite the fact that my parents could afford to readily purchase meat. My late Italian mother could whip together the most delicious meatless meals, and still a favorite of mine to this day was her potato, egg, and pepper omlet. And my father who grew up in south introduced us to tomato and mayo sandwiches especially good when made with fresh tomatoes picked right out of our garden. And my norma made the most delicious spaghetti sauce by just throwing in a couple of chunks of stick pepperoni for flavoring, and she always made extra sauce to put over her eggplant parmesan which was light, crispy, and melted in your mouth which the eggplants too came right out of our garden. And I suspect my mother and norna had the most beautiful skin even at the end of their lives because of their zero processed foods low mesat diets along with simple lifestyle.
Sounds like my Italian Grandmother!! Pepperoni in the sauce, something I haven't tasted in years!!
Our favorite meatless meal is just a baked potato (made in the air fryer) with butter, salt and pepper, cheese, sliced sauteed mushrooms, and whatever other veggies we happen to have! SO delicious, filling, and NO meat needed!
Oh we love that too Susan! Yummy!
We love lentils and brown rice, and onions and some water. We serve it in a pita or wrap. Add spices you like. Cook it until rice is done in a stockpot.
Sounds great!
My secret is out! Vegan meals is how I have a delicious $1 a day per person food budget. Staple foods prepared in tasty ways.
Our favorite meatless meal is any vegetable soup made with chickpeas and homegrown collard greens or kale. Sauté onion, carrot, and celery in a olive or coconut oil with sea salt and garlic. Add cooked chickpeas, any leftover vegetable, pasta water, nutritional yeast, vegetable stock or water, parsley or thyme, and chopped greens. Serve over basmati rice or quinoa, with a side of cornbread. Sometimes we add coconut milk and curry powder with peanut butter as a thickener. Everything is good over basmati rice.
Oh yum...sounds delicious!
Grilled portobello mushrooms! Love this substitute for burgers. Dress them as you like. Also can be served with mashed potatoes, gravy and fresh veggie of your choice
They sound great but Paul wouldn't touch them LOL!
Great job in trying these vegan recipes!
One meatless dish I like is toast with avocado spread over it and then put an over/easy egg on top. Or you could put the eggs over hashbrown potatoes and have toast on the side.
Yes! Love avocado toast!!
The older I get the less meat I eat. I truly believe that the western world eats too much meat, and eating less is not only good for our budgets, the environment and our health. I am going to make the beans, I love black eyed peas. I have never seen collard greens in shops here in Australia, will try kale instead.
My favourite vegetarian meals are. Vegan Boston baked beans, vegetarian Red beans and rice, falafel, hummus and taboulli.
Love Falafels!! Yum!
I remember the old pressure cookers so I also am afraid of the new insta pot, don't have one but I will use my crock pot. I will be trying the burgers! Wonderful wonderful video Emmy and Paul. This is my favorite channel on YT.
That is so kind of you to say! Thank you!
I'm also a total plant-based eater...almost 7 years now...no meat, eggs, dairy, cheese, etc. I am sooo proud of you two! You're fearless! I eat this way all the time! (As a matter of fact, I am writing a cookbook....I have 6 months to get it done)....My hubby, not so much..he eats meat whenever he can and you know I've got critters...but he will eat "beastless" with me a couple of times a week! And, so what a cost saving as well..even if you guys were to do this once, twice a week...awesome! You guys are AWESOME! Food warriors! :) Again, thank you for the beautiful video...worth the wait! Great tv for me! And, thanks for keeping it totally plant-based). Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
We really tried to stay on spot with this video! So happy you enjoyed it Dawn!
Once a week, I serve my family lentil tacos. Been eating tacos this way for years, absolutely delicious!!
Thank you so much for the vegan entrées! You guys are great and I know that you are not vegan but it was good to see you step out and try something new and healthy. Love watching your show and this was just the icing on the cake! Thank you again.
We do try to eat healthy on a regular basis...
We love Lebanese lentils & brown rice made into a salad with shredded cabbage, cucumber and both yogurt mint sauce and cilantro jalapeño sauce as the dressing.
Oh yum! Thanks!
I enjoy low-carb cracked slaw. Recipe calls for ground beef or ground turkey, but can definitely be made vegan. It’s what’s for supper tonight!
Sounds great Sheila!
I may have to try those bean burgers. My favorite meatless meal in our rotation is summer bean salad. I chop and add the following to it: black beans, corn, green pepper, onion, tomato, carrots and cucumber. After chopping the veggies I season the salad with lime juice, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning and any other seasoning that seems like a good match.
Oh that sounds delicious!
The cutest couple on you tube!!! Love you guys 🥰❤️🙏
Oh you are too kind! Thanks so much Liz for the sweet words!
I’m so glad you now like beans. There are so many different kinds. I challenge you to try a new bean twice a month. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I fix a pot of beans about every 10 days. I use one pound and we get at least 3 meals for the three of us. If I make too much, beans freeze great. A little ham and bean soup with a little cabbage soup is delicious. Reminds us of minestrone. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Sounds wonderful Debi! Thanks so much!
Off the top of my head I don’t have a specific vegan recipe because I Veganized pretty much everything. But we do thoroughly enjoy any kind of Mexican food pumped up with beans and veggies, and we also like potatoes in our tacos!
Asian stirfries, veggie pastas and pizzas, and if you are adventurous, tofu is incredibly versatile! It takes on the flavor of whatever you are making. It’s great in Asian food, but also makes an awesome breakfast sandwich! Happy cooking!
Thank you for sharing and watching Sharon!
Those burgers looked fantastic. I am a vegetarian and will be making these at the weekend. Thanks so much both x
You are so welcome!
Want to try both recipes! I'm a "wing-it" type cook but spaghetti conversion is so easy. Just substitute mushrooms for the meat. A few months ago, I made "Chinese cashew chicken" WITHOUT the chicken. Ir was just as good as the Chinese cafe's!
Sounds great! I bet it was!
Great recipes!! My favorite appliance is my Instant pot...we are 7 yrs together now😁.
I actually prefer vegetables over meat. I love veggie burgers and cabbage "steaks". 😋 (head of cabbage cut in think steak like slices and seasoned with your favorite spices and then roasted in the oven)
LOL! Love that R N!
Can confirm: a good olive oil can take your home cooked meal to the next level! This is something I budget for.
Absolutely!!
The recipes looked tasty. I grew up not eating very much meat and we were healthy and didn’t feel deprived 😊
Thanks so much for watching Becky!
Love Vegan recipes, they are great money savers. I.like to make....
Sweet potato and spinach curry
Rhubarb and lentil dahl
Woolton pie
Roasted vegetables with lemon cous cous
Good luck trying more recipes.
Thanks so much!
My favorite meatless meal is grilled cheese and tomato soup 😋
YUM Erin!
Good for you Paul and Emmy! I will admit I was not a huge fan of beans until I hit my 30s and started trying a lot of really creative recipes. So no recipes here but just some ideas that we use for vegan and vegetarian meals. I like to make minestrone soup without the ground beef sometimes and I use black, kidney and garbanzo beans. We love seasoned cannellini beans with brown rice. We really love quiche right now, for breakfast lunch or dinner, and it’s so versatile with the ingredients that you can add to it. You can also make a cassoulet which is a French casserole and just make it with beans instead of adding the meat to it. Can’t wait to see next Tuesday’s video!
Thanks so much for watching and sharing Susie!
My favorite is the veggie chili with zucchini, yellow squash, corn, carrots, onions, lentils, black & kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and veggie broth. Seasonings boullion cube, Italian, cumin, sea salt, pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, minced garlic and onion powder. Tip: for dry beans soak in water overnight will soften better as they cook. Cook on low in crockpot 6-7 hours.
Sounds delicious! Thanks!
If you are really ready to try some more vegan bean recipes I suggest substituting your regular spaghetti with the Barilla brand of protein+ pasta in the yellow boxed packaging. It is so yummy and more filling. The Ronzoni vegetable rotini pasta is also good for cold summer salads. It's the vegetable pasta made with spinach, zucchini, parsley and two other green veggies or herbs. A complete vegan meal using these two pastas. Suggest the Barilla protein+ elbow style pasta for this combination of pastas . These pastas cook a little faster then regular flour based pastas. The dark green Ronzoni vegetable rotini cooks rather fast. To take the meal plan to a next level to become a vegetarian meal add the real egg noodle pasta for your animal based protein. A true emergency pantry meal.
Thanks so much for the suggestions!
Thank you for the vegan burger recipe!
A lot of the veggie burgers that I see are made with oats and my body just doesn't digest oats well so it's nice to see a non oat recipe!
You're so welcome!
So glad you ventured into vegan recipes. I've been a (mostly) plant based eater for about a decade. Lowered my blood sugar and blood pressure drastically.
That's so wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
The reason for the liquid smoke is that it gives it that bacon smoked taste. Liquid smoke is amazing!
Hubby and I watched you this morning and enjoyed seeing new recipes. We are not vegan but don't always have meat. My husband is 81 and I'm 75 so old eating habits are a challenge for us. My husband said he'd like the beans and collards but we'd have to leave out the smoke flavor, which doesn't agree with us. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Blessings :)
Yes, you could use regular Paprika instead of smoked.
The collards and black-eyed peas speak right to my Southern roots. In fact, those are two ingredients we eat on New Year’s for luck and prosperity!
For an extra Southern touch, cornbread would be good with that. 😉
Love cornbread! Thanks!
Great recipes Emmy, it is always a pleasure to. watch your videos and watch Paul test tasting your meals. my favorite recipe is a falafal burger from chickpeas that i cooked with my instant pot.
Oh gosh I do love a good Falafel!!
The recipes look delicious. My favorite meatless meal growing up was our "Garden Dinner". We had green beans and potatoes, corn on the cob, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. All out of the garden. I haven't had luck with gardening. I miss when my dad used to have a big garden. The food was so good.
Oh my gosh! My dad would tell my mom "We are eating out oof the garden tonight!" All the wonderful things you mentioned and a loaf of Italian bread LOL!
My favorite meal is potato dumplings. Yum!
YUM!
I really appreciate you both being so open to vegan food
Thank you for having this episode. As a 12 year vegan, it was nice to see you offering this option. I admit that I would usually forward all the meat recipes and shopping, but I love all the other advice you offer and look forward to every episode.
Thanks so much Mel!
one of my favorite meatless meals is a baked potato with all the fixings and a nice salad-simple and quick! great video! i may have to try these recipes!
Thanks Kathy
So proud of you to try vegan and show that it is really good, healthy and flavorful.
YAY! Thanks so much Kathi!
Hi Emmy and Paul, lovely recipes again. And how beautifull is the whysteria! Kindest regards from the Netherlands!
Isn't the Wisteria amazing!!! Thank you!
Great job! Emmy, I'm Italian-American like you, and I love Polenta with Garlicky Greens. Chop any greens--chard, spinach, kale, collards, etc.-- and saute in a little olive oil with plenty of fresh minced garlic. You could add onion, red pepper flakes, however you like it. Serve over soft cooked polenta that you've topped with Parmesan or a vegan alternative, if preferred. Leftover polenta can be cut into slices the next day and pan fried or baked until crispy on both sides. Thanks for another fun video!
Now that sounds amazing! Thank you!
The meals looked scrumptious the wisteria a joy BUT Dixie stole the show. What a precious little girl with her soft brown eyes and waggerly tail waiting for you with all her love.
Dearest little poppet.
Oh she is the dearest! She is our precious gift!
My favourite meatless meals are soups and I usually put collard greens in some soups. It’s how I eat vegetables the best way for me because I was raised eating soup that my mom made the best. It’s also economical. You have very nice recipes on your channel and you are such a sweet couple. Blessings to you also❤️
What kind words Lucy, thank you!!
Frittata's are my favourite meat less meals.
The possibilities are endless.
Pack with veggies and seasonings.
So good. 🙂
I totally agree! They are so forgiving! You can toss anything in them!
We like a lentil bolognese sauce that can be used over spaghetti or made into lasagna
Thanks Suki!
I have been so busy with "spring" and so many to-do's I've gotten behind in watching your videos. I just loved this video. Now I have to sit down with my notebook and go through these comments! What a treasure of information and ideas. My daughter eats vegetarian, so I will be trying several of these ideas!
YAY! So happy you enjoyed the video!
Both of those looked delicious! Our favorite "meatless" meal is pinto beans, fried potatoes and cornbread. (We live in Texas) I always enjoy your videos!
LOVE fried potatoes!
Omg, Emmy we are eating two meatless meals a week and I was just looking up bean burgers 😀
We love pinto beans with cornbread and baked potato with a side salad
I'm so trying all kinds of food
Love y'all
YAY!! Catina these burgers were winners!!
I live in the middle of beef country.
We purchase beef direct from the rancher.
We love beef actually lol!
Vegan here! Thanks for these recipes, and for your open-mindedness to trying vegan food.
Yay! Thank you Sam!
My favorite meal that I make all the time is what I call Mexican rice bowl. Brown rice on the bottom then 1/2 cup black beans then cooked peppers and onions,topped with green onions and salsa and quacamole
Oh that sounds simple but good!
Thanks for being open minded and trying vegan recipes! I'm glad it went well. The recipes look delicious and you know how economical beans can be. I'm pleased you tried and enjoyed this experiment. Thank you!!!
We really enjoyed all the meals! 😊
My Dad would make us Potatoe Pancakes,I believe it was a polish recipe.
Sounds good!
Your Dixie pup is precious! Emmie you have convinced me to try the instapot which is also sitting in a box at my house .I have been terrified to use it ... Haha …It must be our generation and the memories of those old pressure cookers we were told to not go near as kids. Bravo for you! Those recipes sound delicious.
Angela, honestly I am still not a big fan LOL!!
Congratulations, you discovered the best basic seasoning to convert the two of you to liking basic brown/green lentils. Suggest adding about a 1/4 cup of tomato or pasta sauce of choice to your seasoning mixture while cooking the beans or lentils. The addition of some diced potatoes and or turnups is also a good addition to your black eyed pea or the lentil recipe. Vegan and vegetarian recipes really help a person explore so many new combinations of seasonings and combination fruits and or vegetables. A lot of the Weight Watcher quick start cookbooks from the 1980's and 1990's have good recipes that can easily be adapted to a vegan or vegetarian diet. Bon Appetit.
Great tips! Thanks so much Sherlyn!
Recently started watching your videos and enjoy your positivity. I’be been vegan for 15 years, so seeing you try vegan food with an open mind was lovely.
My weekly meals are three bean chilli ( easy, cheap and delicious), lentil shepherd’s pie. Again cheap and easy. Always use puy or French lentils as they hold their shape and texture. Chickpea and veg curry. No meat loaf, gorgeous - so many recipes for this online. And a basic pasta sauce with roasted Mediterranean veg and pasta, which I have with a crusty roll and side salad. It’s always best to steer away from faux meats when giving vegan food to non vegans and it’s cheaper and way more healthy.
It would be great to see you do some vegan baking. Vegan brownies are awesome and vegan sticky toffee pudding. ❤
So happy you enjoyed the video Cherylyn! Some great recipe suggestions! Thank you!
So enjoy you I've learned a lot from you guys I'm from Maine keep up the goodness
Thanks so much Charlotte!
One of our favorites is Hearty Lentil Stew. It's not vegan but it is vegetarian and it's especially easy because lentils don't need to be soaked and generally cook in 30 minutes. I got it from a website that I use a lot and I didn't know if I should link to it, but if so I'd be glad to offer the link.
I'm so glad you tried some bean recipes and I'm going to have to try that burger recipe! You guys were so brave to give those recipes a shot.
They were really good Barbara! We are glad we tried them too!
Thank you for the inspiration. I like to pop a well cooked sweet potato in the blender with plenty of garlic, several quick splashes of lemon juice, tahini, and enough water to blend it smooth...sweet potato hummus...put that on your brushetta.
Oh my that sounds great!
I am vegetarian and am moving towards being vegan. My go to lunch is a combination of avocado toast and beans on toast. I toast a large slice of sourdough bread. Then smash a quarter of an avocado and then top with canned beans of choice. I usually put hot sauce on top and enjoy. Miss DixieBelle is ADORABLE! Much love from Arizona 🌈✌🏾
Oh I love Avocado Toast! Thanks Mr. Gregory!! Much love right back!!
Love this!
I make quesadillas....maybe shredded cheese, diced tomato, diced green or jalapeno pepper, etc.....OR shredded cheese and seasoned black beans...whatever we're in the mood for. Serve with salsa/sour cream/guacamole/refried beans, etc.
I make sweet potato salad: Boil or bake sweet potatoes until tender, cool, peel, dice into desired consistency (I like it pureed/my family likes a small dice...you can guess who wins, lol)...add to a bowl, chop red or other onion fine and add to bowl, add a little salt, cayenne or black pepper, smoked paprika, and a bit of honey...add mayo to desired consistency. I like this hot...my family eats it cold.
God bless!
Sounds delicious! Thanks so much! God Bless you as well!
This was one of my favorites!! Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Thanks Dawn!
Great video - I definitely will try the burger recipe. I don't have an instant pot but maybe I can make the beans and greens in my slow cooker and just give it more time. I am not a vegetarian but I eat a lot of meatless Mexican meals - there's usually cheese and salsa involved, but refried beans or other pinto beans are super tasty with rice or chips. Lots of good Mexican vegetarian options. Thanks for your videos - I loved seeing Dixie at the end! She really does rule the roost!
Yes, Dixie sure does...and we wouldn't have it any other way LOL!
I am eating plant based as much as possible. It’s very difficult because I live with a bunch of ravenous carnivores. It’s also difficult because of my ethic background ( mother was Native American) I am learning I can veganize anything now
That's great Tonda! Yes, we do eat meat too!
The more vegan meals you eat the more money you will save the better you will feel and you will lose excess weight even if it’s only 10 lbs Have been plant based since September 2021 Don’t miss meat at all a bit of fish but no meat. Have you tried roasted sweet potato topped with black beans it’s yummy and put some caramelised red onions too cheers from Australia 🦘🦘
Oh that sounds so good! Thanks!
Emmie, you and Paul are brave to go out of your comfort zone. I have never had those type of beans or collards. I do like beans, I do the package that has 15 different kinds in one package, they wonderful and always use my Instant Pot. I enjoy greens, but never had collards. I love you two and little doggie too.
Thanks so very much Gwedolyn!!
Oh my goodness, these vegan burger looks amazing. I will try them next week! Our quick and frugal and easy meal is home made pizza. I will send you my trick to get a really quick home made pizza in an e-mail right now. 😊
Thanks, I will check tomorrow for the email Sabrina! Hope you and yours are well!
@@FrugalMoneySaver Yes, everything is allright, again🙏❤.
My fav meatless meal is Creole Peas N Corn (A Black Eyed Pea recipe) with cornbread!
These recipes look so good. I would love to try them!
They were very good!!
Wel done great show again. We are vegan / veggie but switch beyween both. Been veggie 31 yrs now. Glamorgan sausages.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing!
lol, when saw the title was going to suggest black bean burger.
Love this, you guys are so adorable!
Thanks so much Linda!
I make a chickpea stew every week. Canned crushed tomatoes, rice, potatoes, frozen mixed veg, spinach, frozen cauliflower. Garlic powder, season salt, curry, onion powder, pepper, tumeric. Easy, healthy, cheap.
Thanks for sharing Joanna!
I am doing meatless May. Love pasta, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, and parm. Delicious!
Oh yes!
We do Meatless Mondays! Our favorite dish is veggie pasta, fresh veggies in a light lemony cream sauce with any short cut pasta. It's so delicious! I will have to try that burger recipe, love the idea of using it for a filling!
Yes, it would be great like Paul said in those types of dishes!
Hello Emmy and Paul, great video! ’m not vegetarian, but have enjoyed meatless meals for many years. My favorite is garbanzo bean patties with cucumber yogurt sauce. Soooo good.
Thanks for watching and sharing Jennifer!
InstaPots are the best. I like to make rice and refried beans in mine. A YT channel called Plant Based Dads has some great Vegan recipes. Joey is awesome !
Thanks for sharing Latesha!
my favorite sort of vegan recipe is using some decent brand jar of plain marinara sauce and chopped up and sauteed zucchini and mushrooms-you can add can of garbanzo beans and eat this with any pasta-you will not miss meat in it at all. Im glad you found use for your insta-pot -sometimes we have gadgets in the kitchen and takes us some time to finally get used to them and even like them.
So very true Marta! Thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful video! Will definitely try the burger. Cost of meat is pushing me to try adding a vegetarian meal every 10 days! Here in New Mexico my Chili Relleno casserole is not Vegan because of the eggs and cheese but very delicious
Oh yum!
You can soak the dried beans overnight and it will cook up much quicker
