You would be a hit if you would create a vegan cookbook not a digital an actual cookbook your food is amazing. I am 62 years old and learning to cook Vegan.
That's my dream! Hopefully one day! What kinds of meals do you like to cook?
NikkiVegan I love everything. Unfortunately I can’t have most seeds like sesame seeds. 🙁 I would like to see a lasagna vegan. If you have one please let me know. 😊
i agree!
@@normafig924 this is a good lasagna. Recommend making a tofu ricotta, really good.

@Dax Xander 🤡
I’m a mom, probably 3 times your age, who has been a vegan for 11 years.And seeing young people like you gives me so much hope. Thank you so much for being so wise and knowledgeable at such a young age. I wish I had been a vegan my whole life.
Hi, when you decided to turn to vegan did you lose weight? I am quite hesitant because based on the recipes she prepared a notice theres a lot of carbohydrates and calorie content of these foods..it's quite contradicted with other diets (less carbs/calories) utube are offering different kinds of diets, that makes me more confused...you said you've been vegan for 11yrs, aside from animal products what didi u remove in your diet? Do you have supplements? Because I dont think its healthy either, ai prefer fresh vegies/foods available...thanks
Yesss can’t wait to try these out thank you so much for sharing these recipes!!
Perfect meals for being cooped up all day long! Thank you for sharing! Another wonderful video with wonderful editing. 💚
Yesss love this video! Please do more like this in the future 🥰 so helpful and fun to watch xx
Thanks for the feedback Victoria! That's so helpful, I really appreciate it :) So happy that you liked this video. Hope you're having a nice Monday so far!
I feel like your insides love you. Your diet is so varied and expansive. So inspirational!
I agree about cooking for yourself. I love it. I grew up with my mom loving to be in the kitchen, trying different recipes. The dinner I’m most looking forward to having this week is Rabbit and Wolves Vegan Spicy Kale and Romesco Pasta. I finally found the large flat pasta they use that doesn’t contain egg. So stoked!
Looking forward to making our go-to lemon pasta! Fresh and filling... Perfect for spring!
They all look sooo good! ❤️
I love cooking new recipes and I love watching videos like. This
Everything look so amazing! So excited to try a few of these recipes :)
Thanks Kayla! I can’t wait to hear which one you make first ☺️ Hope you’re having a good start to your week!
Ahh your meals are like exactly like mine! I love how intuitively you eat!! Not a lot of vegan intuitive eating content on youtube! Thank you
This video is a year ago but it’s new to me and wish there was an awesome button . Yesterday was 1 year eating vegan , life changing ! Thank you for sharing 🌱
The roasted cauliflower salad on Sunday night looked amazing! I would never think to put roasted cauliflower in my salads, definitely going to start implementing that.
I just tried this and loved it!
I bought the fig spread off thrive because of your recommendation and it's AMAZING! Now I need to mix it with stone ground mustard.
Your recipes always look delicious! 😋
These were great easy recipes that I must try. My fav meal was yesterday. I made a thick, cilantro split pea soup which I ate over buttered rye toast with poblano/corn hummus and sauteed mushrooms/onion with tamari over the top-all yummy vegan of course!😁👍💞
I bet red kidney beans would be great in the peanut stew and would add a little extra protein too!
i’ve made a similar stew before but i’m not too crazy about peanut butter so i swapped for almond butter. still added the thickness and delicious nutty flavour. just wanted to throw an ingredient swap out there for those with peanut allergies :)
This was great! Thank you!
I just made marinated tempeh and did as the recipe called for...I’ve never have eaten this before.....it had a peanut butter marinate and then baked...soooo good..sort of had a chicken nugget appearance and taste. I bet marinated any good seasoning would be also tasty.
I made egg rolls with wonton wrappers and veggies with a peanut butter chili sauce...air fried in my fryer....ohhh soo good.
I made a vegan shepherds pie this week! Yummy mashed potatoes on top of peas,carrots, corn, green beans mixed with gardein crumbles. Sooo good 😬👍🏻 I loved your meal ideas! Thank you for these quick videos!
So good! Vegan premise tortellini? Heaven!
All of this looks amazing!
Thank you so much 💚💚💚

Your meals look so glamorous

I'm really happy you recognized that in my videos! Like I said, it means a lot. Thanks for letting me know 😊😊
My vegan chilli i made with cilantro lime rice and homemade pickled sliced okra on top!! It was so yummy! 😍😍
My favorite this week, quinoa, collars greens , blackeyed peas,few sunflowers seeds, and avocado. Enjoy your videos very much. Thanks
Oh my! That tortellini! I haven't seen vegan tortellini, so now I'll be in a tizzy trying to find it at my local grocery stores!
Looks great! 😍 Thanks for sharing! I had no idea that Purple Carrot did vegan meal plans. Cool! 👍🏼
I’m excited to make my amazing vegan tortilla soup this week! I finally found veggie broth at Trader Joe’s after a week of empty shelves everywhere else. 🍲

Your food always looks so good!!!!
Aw thanks! It's really easy stuff I promise...and sometimes it's not so pretty but it always tastes pretty good. That's what counts lol Hope you're having a good day Pam!

I love your vlogs so much, I'm a new subscriber and am just binge watching you rn. :)
That’s so nice! Thank you for letting me know and for subscribing to my channel! That means a lot to me ☺️ Hope you enjoy my videos! New one coming Sunday!
You cook so well, thank you for the inspiration. I did vegan diet not very well because i didn't know all the tricks suplements and how to balance meals.
However in my case i feel my body asking for protein dense foods with complete aminoacids profiles are needed for mantain brain function and stronger fisic activity.
Today we have available many foods like proteins and minerals suplements and tempehs etc. but we need listen our body and see how it run on the products and how incorporate them in our diet for make them well digested.
Well, I was born and raised in Germany but both of my parents are from Ghana. I have never seen our peanut stew made like that but I find it interesting. I’m gonna make this for my mom to taste and approve of it wish me luck😊
Vegan Japchae (Korean stir fried glass noodles with veggies) was the best thing I had this week :D
I'm going to make ALLLLL of this!
Yay! Hope you enjoy!!
New to plant based eating so seeing recipes is awesome. I love to see recipes.
Thanks Donna! I really hope you enjoy my videos! I have tons of easy recipes on my channel. How long have you been plant based?
@@NikkiVegan a couple weeks. Still eating protein or cheese occasionally as it’s been hard to change from low carb, high protein diet to plant based diet.
Everything looks SO delicious! You inspire me daily. I watch your videos just to get inspiration for what I make for dinner some nights! 😁.
Aw that's AMAZING to hear! Honestly. Thank you for letting me know :) I'm happy that my videos are helpful! What are you making for dinner tonight?
NikkiVegan I have a channel with my cousin and I made vegan meatloaf with asparagus, corn and mashed potatoes. ua-cam.com/video/Jgjg6NO05b4/v-deo.html Our channel is all about food!! 😊😂
Hi Nicole!!!!!! Great recipes, wow!!!! I loved all of them, but Saturday's recipes looked and sounded delicious!!!!! You are just getting better and better, I'm so proud of you and your work in the Vegan "movement" Thank you for always reaching higher and better, you're so inspiring and delightful👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!!!! Be safe🥰🙏🏼 ❤️Kathy
Thank you! I'm ALWAYS learning and working on improving my skills as a recipe developer and I really think that recipe in particular shows how I try to layer in flavors and add complex flavor in simple ways. It means a lot to me that you noticed that! Thank you for letting me know :) Can't wait for you to try this tortellini!
Defiantly want to make something with the lemon, dill, dairy free yogurt and blk pepper combo !!!!
The cucumber salad looks so yummy and so simple. Nice tip on the salt. I cannot wait to try this. I also like to cook larger portions of food and use them for quick leftover meals. It makes it easier to eat healthy at work.
Ok first of all, I love your UA-cam handle! lol And second, I hope you love the cucumber salad recipe! It's honestly the best next day when all the flavors marinate. I could not stop eating it lol Enjoy!
NikkiVegan thank you so much!!! I am looking forward to it.
Loved it.. make more
Totally agree with your wrap up comments! I never hear people talking about how cheap, fast and easy it is to cook at home. All advertising is pitched to make you think it's a chore, but it SO doesn't need to be. Great meal ideas btw. Realistic and balanced.
It’s so good to hear to hear that this resonated with you! Thanks for letting me know 🥰🥰 I hope you enjoy these recipes if you make them at home!
Baked Spaghetti with a red lentil marinara with zuchini and mushrooms topped with vegan cashew cream. Whole family loved it.
I made Vegan chickpea and kale curry today. It was so good
Yum that sounds awesome!! I want to make that now!
Girrl you look amazing and so do these meals
Aw thank you! I’m so happy to hear that you’re excited to cook more! It really can be such an enjoyable process. Don’t overthink it ☺️ I’m here if you have questions!
I always put peanut butter in Chili. So good!
Smart!
I love African green peanut stew. It’s in the spicy vegan cookbook mmmm but that one uses chickpeas and carrots.
Vegan African peanut stew is delicious!
Oh my gosh!! Nikki all of those recipes look so yummy! I really loved the west african peanut stew w/ rice...I'm definitely going to try that one...And, I love how you make all the food look so perfectly styled amd it all looks so colorful, i wanted to jump through the screen😁. Great video!!
Aw thank you, that means a lot because I really spend a lot of time trying to get interesting shots and editing the footage! I’m so happy that you liked it and yes, the African Stew is soooooo tasty! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
@@NikkiVegan You are so welcome ,and i will write a comment and let you know how it was! Thank you Nikki😀
Omg - Nikki these recipes look delish. I will definitely be trying these. #Yum✨.
Thank you! I can't wait to hear what you make first!
NikkiVegan hi Nikki. I already made the pasta salad with bbq sweet potato and ginger kale . Omg goodness it was super delish ✨. Thanks for the recommendation hun. My family loved it as well. :).
Your food always looks stunning and delicious, you are incredibly gifted. Please make a real cookbook!
Aw thank you so much!! I will! That’s the dream ☺️☺️💚💚
Cute sweatshirt! May I ask where you bought it?
Cabbage, onions & gold potatoes with tofurky Italian sausage chopped in. I made some vegan cornbread to go with & made some homemade grape juice. I was sooo full!!!
Oh wow that sounds awesome! also, how do you make grape juice? I've never tried :)
@@NikkiVegan I take red & black grapes. Usually the more round they are, the sweeter. I freeze them. Then put in a hs blender with water & strain it. Viola!
Ive been wanting to make some peanut butter stew (vegan style-its an african dish with chicken in it usually)
I made a big pot of bean soup that I’ve been eating on for the week. You have given me some great ideas so I’m having a tortellini tonight.
I'm so glad! I love this tortellini recipe! Can't wait to hear what you think 😊😊
I make an oatmeal and red lentil bowl. Its really warming. I add turmeric ginger cinnamon and nigella seeds. I have breakfast for dinner x
Yum that sounds delicious!! I love having breakfast for dinner so that sounds perfect and like you said, really warming and cozy! Thanks for the idea 😊😊
Love the video! This week my dinner menu is BBQ jackfruit sandwiches with roasted asparagus and red potatoes!
Omg yum! That sounds so good! It's a cold rainy day here and that would be perfect :) Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for commenting Jordan!
NikkiVegan that’s so interesting. It was sunny and somewhat warm all day here 😁
the best thing i ate for dinner this week was
food from gentle grill in temecula ♡
Yum! I’ve never been there! I’ll add it to my list ☺️☺️
I made loaded potatoes using your delicious nacho cheese recipe, along with a spinach, blueberry, and walnut salad with orange poppyseed dressing. It was so good! That was all I ate until I ran out of leftovers 😂
Wowowowowowow that honestly sounds amazing! I want that salad! I love fruit and nuts in salads. Such a good combo :)
my fav goto is pasta with olive oil, 1 head of garlic per serving, sun dried tom, artichoke hearts, onions, mushrooms. and top it with the new granulated shaker version of follow your heart parmesan.
Yum! I made something similar last night lol Great minds think alike :)
NikkiVegan olive oil and garlic 🧄 are life!!
Amazing
I made Liv B’s rice skillet for dinner...I think it’s called like rice skillet with Spanish olive oil. My only tip is cook the veggies at the end, so they don’t get mushy. It’s divine!
OOooo yum! That sounds awesome! I'm a huge fan of hers :)
Another What I eat Vegan for a week video from Nikki. It will keep us occupied if we're quarantined or under lockdown due to the Coronavirus.Most Lockdown's food stores and supermarkets are exempt because it is a essential need.
I know! Such scary times! I hope this video is a bright spot in your day :)
I make a Peanut butter soup with tomatoes and sweet potatoes that is yummy!
Yum! That combo is so great! Do you have a recipe? I’d love to try it
You mentioned a little in the video, but what do ya add to the tofu scramble, usually? I’ve been looking for a really simple one to have, thanks. 💕
I add salt, pepper, chunky salsa, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, and vegan cheese at the end :) It's so good!!
This week I tried my hand at making biscuits and gravy (vegan of course) for the first time ever! Can’t wait to make it again :^)
omg yum! I want to try that! did you use a recipe?
@@NikkiVegan I used this recipe for the biscuits:
cozypeachkitchen.com/southern-style-vegan-biscuits/
And this recipe for the gravy:
www.milehighdreamers.com/vegan-biscuits-and-gravy/
Both recipes were so super easy and did not require complicated ingredients. Would definitely recommend :^)
Love your channel Nikki! And I also loved your sweatshirt! Can you share where you got it?
I’m pretty sure she got it from @vegetaryn.
Yep! Thanks for helping out :) You rock
I LOVE Vegetaryn! I live in her sweatshirts :)
@@NikkiVegan thank you for responding! I'll check it out 😉
Chard is hard to get in UK so I’m thinking you could use spinach.👌
Great idea! I would probably opt for kale or another heartier green but honestly, it all works. Enjoy!
Where did you get your water glass from? The ones with the stem. So cute!!
Thanks! They're from Ikea! :)
yummy
This will be my first plantbased pregnancy and I'm craving so many bad things and falling off the wagon. I'm going through all your videos for recipes lol!
Congrats!!! Happy for you Shawna! What have you been craving?
@@NikkiVegan today it's peanut butter and jelly 😂 I can't find peanut butter though. It's tragic lol
@@NikkiVegan I found peanut butter!! Shared two sandwiches with my 5yo. It was so good lol
@@sstag83 don't forget to take a multivitamin and vit d3 and b12 and omega 3s
My son would love to know the song in the intro? Thank you ♥️
The quinoa chard stew....recipe says broth 2 cups...water 4 cups. So that is a total of 6 cups? Or is that broth or water and shows two different amounts? Thank you.
Which BBQ sauce do you like?
Hi! I’m not a fan of vegan cheese or nutritional yeast, so without them things like tofu scramble feel like they are missing something... Anyone have thoughts on what foods I could experiment with adding in place of the vegan cheese/nutritional yeast? Thanks!
You could try adding a tiny bit of chickpea miso, maybe start with a 1/2 tsp or 1 tsp and add more to taste. Of sometimes I add a little curry paste. They will add a nice depth and richness when combined with the other ingredients. Might be fun to try! Just go easy and add more to taste so it’s not too salty
@@NikkiVegan oooo we have miso in the fridge already, that sounds really great actually! I’ll try that! Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. I appreciate it! Your vids are awesome!!
Tahini dressing recipe?
I've been home from work because of travelling and been cooking a lot for myself! I made a super creamy and smooth cheese sauce and did a baked mac and cheese earlier this week that i'm still totally drooling over
