I found your channel back when you were extreme budgeting and had very low weekly budget meals. The bonus was you were also plant based .They are my favorite type of video. 25$ for 38 meals is pretty darn good.
One of the things I love about your videos is the simple and short ingredient list. Many people erroneously think this is too basic and not providing enough variety, but I take the "for inspiration" to heart and look at it the opposite way. You provide us more personal variety. Instead of watching a $50 budget meal idea and missing out on some of my preferences because my $50 budget has been maxed out, I can shop your meal ingredients with $25. Then I have another $25 for my preferences. Do I want more seasoning variety, more protein, more snack options, or to add diary etc...? It doesn't matter, because I now have the budget to personalize it to my liking. It's genius really.
I’ve been using the soy sauce flavor ramen for years ! Add my veggies and tofu in the pot with the noodles instead of separate pans. I usually use mushrooms and broccoli, some kale along with the tofu.
from the mrs: You really knocked it out of the park with this timely vid! I agree with you about eating a variety of foods! Looking forward to more of your creative recipes videos!
I made a similar-ish pasta recently!! Rotini noodles, black beans, taco seasoning - but then I also fried up some tofu and added avocado+lemon juice+crunched up tortilla chips, and we ate it at room temperature. It was delicious, I'm gonna have to try yours next!
Hey, I’m just starting to use dry beans so I’m not great with cooking time and storage. Does anyone know if it’s better to store the cooked beans with there liquids ? Or drained? I’ve seen videos with people doing both. Just looking to know best storage tips. Thanks!
It really depends on how you plan to use them. As in, will it be a dry-ish dish or is a little liquid fine? The cooked beans will soak up some of the liquid while in the fridge.
I love your videos and ttc journey! 🥰 You did the Rice Diet in the past and I know you can’t do that when pregnant. But would you mind reviewing my book, How To Rice Diet? Or would you mind doing one of the recipes in a video?
Tofu is a food prepared by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness: silken, soft, firm, extra firm. Tofu is also known as bean curd in English. (Wikipedia)
It's a Malt-O-Meal brand, which I believe is owned by Post. Many national grocers carry it. It does not appear to be vegan, since honey is on the list. But I think some WFPB diets do honey? I've copied and pasted the ingredients list for you: Ingredients Whole Grain Oat Flour, Sugar, Wheat Starch, Honey, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Trisodium Phosphate, Caramel Color, Molasses, Natural Flavor. Vitamins and Minerals: Ferric Ortho-phosphate (source of iron), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Zinc Oxide, Thiamin Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Folic Acid.
What's an amount that you'd like to see me use on a video? Let me know in a comment below!
$5 per person per day? 😃

One of my fav meals is multigrain cheerios with a banana. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch & dinner lol
Mine is Grape-Nuts and raisins... which is weird, as I generally don't care for raisins.
I do the same with ramen but I love to also add broccoli or broccolini. 😋
AWESOME job Kiddo!!! 🎉
Great inspiration, I am going to do the black bean and pasta tomorrow, thank you ❤
Thank you Miranda ❤ I hope you are feeling well 💕
I am! thank you so much for asking! I hope you're doing well too!
I love your budget videos! So excited for the inspiration
I just made the ramen and really liked it! Especially the yellow squash with the flavoring made it delicious! Thank you and love your videos!
My Instant pot is my everything 😊
Great video ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻God Bless You,Your Husband and Your Beautiful Baby 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lol! Girl I ate SO much cereal in my pregnancy 😂
its like an essential lololol!!!
I hope these are healthy meals because I’m tuned in!
So good to see you. Thank you.
I don't like black beans, any suggestions on what bean would be best in the dinner meal?
chickpeas, lentils, red beans, or maybe pinto
Great ideas!
What type of noodles could I buy for a ramen substitute? I have high blood pressure and ramen has too much sodium 😞
Rice noodles have the best texture and appearance in my opinion but cost more. You also have the option to leave out the ramen salt packet.

My husband opened the fridge last night, looked at me and said "the fridge is empty.. but I know to you it's a week of meals" 😅
😂
What is tofu? No I’m not kidding. ❤

I don’t know honey nut scooters. Where to find and are they vegan? My husband eats Honey Nut Cheerios and I’d love an alternative.
