I've got a confession

  • Here’s a confession of what I eat during the week when I want easy, delicious, filling and nourishing. It’s easy to whip together with the techniques shown. Packed with fiber and plenty of vitamins and minerals, oh yea, and protein.
    This made enough for 4 LARGE meals and average cost was £5 / $6. Might be more if you buy precut veg or pre chopped greens and still well worth it.
    I hope this is of benefit and inspires you to take and make your own way.
    *Frankie enjoys vegan dog food as her main meals - find and research producers in your country to give it a try - she loves it.

    CHEAP & EASY WEEKDAY MEAL
    1 block extra firm tofu, sliced thin
    1 can chickpeas liquid and all
    1 big bunch Greens (cabbage, kale, chard) chopped
    4 large carrots, chopped
    5 potatoes, cubed
    1 Onion, julienned
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 chillies, chopped (optional)
    Olive oil (optional)
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Nutritional yeast, garnish
    Thanks for watching.

      Do you prefer a particular vegan kibble for Frankie? I have 2 hounds that eat my pay check and would love to do what you’re doing. Our greyhound has a sensitive stomach & our foxhound can’t do winged things so we’ve been stuck with beef for both & I’d like to quit contributing to that suffering since I do so for my human family food choices.
