      Thanks for clarifying! I was actually thinking while watching "DANG everything is like a quarter of the price compared to the U.S., cost of living in the Netherlands is awesome," but actually it seems black beans and cilantro are quite pricey in your area.

      FYI, use whole tomatoes as those are less processed and more flavorful. You can squish them by hand or just mix them up with the spoon when they're in the pot. I got that tip from one of the cooking shows.

      Proteins: lentils and dried beans (canned beans are also okay but dried is much cheaper), firm tofu (also smoked if you can find it), non dairy milk and yogurt (preferably soy, they have the highest protein content)
      Spices: dried Italian herbs, dried chili, cumin, good curry powder, dried ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, black and white pepper
      Other "flavoring" ingredients: soy sauce, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, vegetable broth
      Grains: oats, brown rice, basmati rice, short grain rice, couscous, whole wheat bread, pasta (spaghetti and penne are the most versatile), Asian noodles (like ramen noodles or pho noodles)
      Vegetables: potatoes, bell pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, carrots
      These are the staples I always have on hand and which I use most often.

Put a buttered paper in an oventray and add the mix flatten it out over the paper 1 cm 1/3 inch tjock bake 5-10 minutes, cut bars, approximatedly 50 pieces. Sprinkle Melted chocolate over the entire mix, let it cool, put the pieces in the freezer. Take out 10-20 per week, that way your kids might run twice as much as others and break schoolrecords. Plus, You have the energy to look after them.

    *One tip to prevent mushy lentils* , put a few tablespoons of olive oil in a hot pan and heat it till it sizzles, then add your dry lentils mix them around until they start to take on a golden color (keep them moving so they don’t burn) and then add your water. (Look out for lots of spattering when you add the water) and cook as usual. They will retain their texture and resist mushiness! Plus they are tastier this way.

Her kitchen is designed perfectly to promote those feelings. I very much like the healthy green plants hanging above on the walls with their green leaves gently cascading down in contrast to the white neutral color scheme of the kitchen. That soft background provides a perfect backdrop for highlighting the healthy, plant-based meals she is preparing. Coupled with the quiet soothing music ... just so peaceful. This is the kind of atmosphere I want to encourage in my own home. Thank you, Sadia, for sharing your kindness, food knowledge, and warmth with us.
