    Ok girl. This one is not cheap, but it gives me amazing energy and health benefits. I use an instapot for this.
    1.5 lbs of a California blend (carrots, broccoli and cauliflower)
    8 oz minced garlic
    56 oz of medium rotel (tomatoes & green chilies)
    5 oz baby kale
    5 oz baby spinach leaves
    16 oz baby bella mushrooms
    14 oz kimchi
    1 can of chickpeas
    12 oz of 3 pepper blend/ onion
    64 oz of soup broth
    16 oz Aquafina or Dasani water
    When affordable I will also add asparagus
    then I push the high-pressure button and then soup broth button.
    30 minutes later I have an amazing vegetable stew.

    Never thought to put cornmeal on tofu. Thanks for saying tofu needs a lot of seasoning. I air fried tofu about 3 months ago and it tasted horrible. I usually fry it in oil so I seasoned it like I was going to fry it, airfried it and it was not enough seasoning plus it was so dry and tasteless. Blah. 😖
    Those cookies are beautiful. 🥰

    • @flourishingmiranda

      I used to eat it without seasoning and thought it always tasted like a wet sponge and I couldn’t understand why people liked it 🤣

    Curious if you get your iron and ferritin checked? I’d like to eat more plant based but my doctor warned me that women of child bearing age are bad about getting enough iron in their diet.

    • @flourishingmiranda
      @flourishingmiranda  2 роки тому +1

      That’s not true at all, you can’t just say “everyone at this age” that’s assuming. And yes I get my blood checked every 6 months, I’ve never had any issues. Somethings are genetic which we can’t control but SO many plant foods have iron!

    Hi Miranda! I was just wondering about that tajin seasoning. What does it taste like? Is it middle eastern? Do you love it? 💚

    • @flourishingmiranda
      @flourishingmiranda  2 роки тому +1

      I think it’s a Hispanic seasoning! ground dried chile peppers (a blend of chiles de árbol, guajillo and pasilla), dehydrated lime, and sea salt it’s like spicy with salt and sweet! You can definitely make it if you can’t find it!
