    i love making veggie burgers with black beans, green, yellow, and red chopped peppers, red onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, adobo, breadcrumbs, and bbq sauce! too good, and has a really nice meaty barbecue smoked flavor! definitely recommend you try it :) you can add your own spin and put whatever veggies/spices you like, but the combination i put above is my favorite :)

      i forgot corn! corn is so good in them haha :)

    A tip for black bean burgers: cook the beans in the oven first! It makes the texture of the burger so much better. I just open a can of black beans, put them in a spread out layer on a baking sheet and cook for like 20 minutes on like 350. Then just blend ingredients like normal.

    I would recommend pineapple with the bean burgers it's what I do with mine and it changes the game

    • @transcendwithiboga
      @transcendwithiboga 8 років тому +1

      Do you put the pineapple alongside the pepper in the veggie balls ?

    • @cameronadams1125
      @cameronadams1125 8 років тому +36

      No add a slice or ring of pineapple at the end on top of the finished burger like you would with a leaf of lettuce for example

    for sauces you can use avocado, vegan mayo, garlic paste, tahini mixed with lemon and herbs, tomato sauce, etc.

    • @havrefrasss

      ...and pesto, olive spread, guacamole, mustard, pickle relish...

      pesto has cheese in it

    • @bronwenstreet4417
      @bronwenstreet4417 8 років тому +7

      You can make your own cheese free pesto pretty easily! (if you want that cheese flavor adding nutritional yeast is always a good idea)

    • @MyLaura33
      @MyLaura33 8 років тому

      Not mine but I do put some nutritional yeast in with walnuts , basil, garlic and sea salt... That's my recipe and everyone loves it...

      I went vegetarian in March and it's nowhere near as hard as you think! There are great meat substitutes sold these days. Also a lot of sides are vegetarian. Pastas, salads, wraps, burgers, there's all kinds of things you can do. Pinterest has tooooons of recipe ideas too.(:

    • @Kenz0108
      @Kenz0108 8 років тому

      Try having a few meatless days a week. Start at one or two and work your way up. I was originally going to do it this way but then realized how easy it was and that I loved it so I went full time.(:

    I cannot overstate how insanely delicious those dragon noodles are. Only change i made was to add 2 cloves garlic. Bok choy is also a great sub for cabbage.

    I made the cauliflower wings and they were AMAZING. They were incredibly quick to make, too! When I make these again, I'll add way less liquid to the batter because mine was insanely runny and I'd definitely put nonstick spray on the foil beforehand. I'd also use a full head of cauliflower because I had a ton of excess batter and too much sauce for the cauliflower. These will definitely become one of my staple recipes! Also great for potlucks!

  • @ilamemtal95
    @ilamemtal95 7 років тому +1

    I am so surprised. I actually made the first meal of this and I am not a vegan but this recipe seriously made me want to convert. It was delicioussssss. And usually when I eat food, I have my mixture of apple cider vinegar, water, lemon juice and cinnamon and anything I eat would run 🏃🏽 me to The bathroom. After this meal, I felt extremely good and light weight, this did not run me at all. I am making another vegan dish today and I pray it turns out good 😊. Happy eats up everyone.

  • @clyin3892

  • @corhydron111
    @corhydron111 8 років тому +75

    Wait, in America you can buy a bunch of carrots, a roll, peppers, a can of black beans, green onions, garlic, oregano, parsley, paprica and a bunch of potatoes FOR UNDER $3 COMBINED? In my country this stuff would cost me an equvalent of $20.
    Not to even mention tofu, sriracha and other food products that are not even available in regular shops in my country, you'd have to ship them from a vegan / foreign shop to get them.

    • @DJCynosure
      @DJCynosure 8 років тому +16

      I think she split the cost of the actual purchases depending on how much she used. so if she bought a lb of something for $8 but used a 1/10 of that pound, she only used up less than one dollar of that ingredient for the process of making that meal. It is still very cheap to make vegan foods, but I think this video gives the impression that you can buy foods for that cheap, when that doesn't reflect reality.

    • @corhydron111
      @corhydron111 8 років тому +11

      Pfff then it's kinda fake. The reason I'm not vegan is that I live by myself, so most of those ingredients such as produce would go to waste if I had to buy them in advance for myself.

    • @Melissa-wx4lu
      @Melissa-wx4lu 8 років тому +25

      This is why you prepare ahead. I can by $20 of stuff...make my meals ahead of time and then put them in the fridge/freezer and eat 3 meals a day for 1 week on $20...cheap as hell. It's not fake at all. it's smart. People with big families learn this Meal Math very quickly.

    • @corhydron111
      @corhydron111 8 років тому

      That's the point. It works for people with big families because they use all the produce up. I'm not going to eat all this stuff by myself. And I don't think all this food can be frozen and re-heated, for example the calliflower. I can't imagine re-heating that dish.

    • @Melissa-wx4lu
      @Melissa-wx4lu 8 років тому +4

      Freeze it. I make all my own food for a week sometimes 2 and freeze it. I cook only 2-4 times month.

    I made the Pub-Style burgers and fries, and my whole family LOVED it! So easy, and very delicious. I had the majority of ingredients already and only needed to run out for buns, beefsteak tomato, and potatoes. I went on your main page, and all I can say is WOW. I can't wait to do more of your recipes!

  • @dominicgalloway4481
    @dominicgalloway4481 7 років тому

    Weather you're baking or frying (unless it's something super saucy), I highly HIGHLY recommend adding any herbs like oregano, parsley, so on about 3/4 of the way through because it tends to burn and give off flavors.

This kind of video is so helpful for me and I am sure many others right now. I try to budget best I can but I know I can always learn more. I make cooking videos too so you know I’m making lots of food so every penny I can save on groceries counts. I hope that we can continue to learn from each other. Never stop learning and growing!

    I tried the cauliflower recipe, but the 'batter' doesn't stick to the cauliflower, it just dripped down in the oven creating a weird mess with cauliflower in it. Any tips? maybe the mix wasn't thick enough, I used water and rice/coconut milk.

    • @itslivb
      @itslivb  8 років тому +1

      hmm probably wasn't thick enough. Was your cauliflower dry before you dipped it? Or was there some moisture/condensation?

    Just a warning to others.. the last time I made califlower wings I tossed them in sauce and put them back in the oven on parchment paper and the paper ended up falling apart and sticking to the wings! I should try foil next time.

    • @blessthismessage8992
      @blessthismessage8992 8 років тому +1

      Hi Sarah, when we have made them in the past, we dip each by hand. It's pretty tedious but it keeps the extra sauce off of your pan :)

    Thaaaaank you! As for the 3rd recipe, super easy to do bbq sauce: tin / bottle of pureed tomato, slowly cooked in a pan with brown sugar / stevia / honey, an onion brunoise (very small cubes - or blended if lack of time), a touch of chili, garlic powder. Let cook super low heat for 45 min. Boom, Bob's your uncle.

      you probably need to bake them a bit longer than 2 times 15min. when I bake fries in the oven it takes like 30-45min. it also depends on how big you cut them!

    I made the veggie patties, but I didn't have a food processor so I mixed everything by hand. It came out more textured than expected bc I didn't finely chop the green onion & bell pepper. I also think I should have blended the oats to a powder.
    The end result tastes great! It tastes like a previous veggie burger I've eaten before

    It doesn't count as $1.95 meal if you have to buy the whole bag of produce/box of whatever for each item. Just because you use $1.95 worth of stuff for the meal doesn't mean that's how you can buy it at the store.

    • @willahladun334

      The idea is that you buy the produce and repeatedly use the ingredients so you only need to go to the grocery store 3 or less times a month, becuase the products can be spread out. It's way cheaper than buying veggie burgers pre packaged or going out to eat. The only way you're going to spend less than $3 a meal if if you're buying ramen or something

      that's per serving. Usually you have to buy more than 1 serving at a time of course...but this is to educate people that a vegan diet isn't necessarily more expensive than a traditional meat based diet.

  • @daniiisland
    @daniiisland 8 років тому +14

    Wth? $1.95 for the first meal? You can't list all these different types of spices and not add that to the price of the meal. Let alone think you can get bread/can of beans/bellpepers (the colored which are more expensive than the green) on top of all the ingredients for the potatoes for $1.95?! Clearly you didn't think this video out, you can't price things on the "amount you used" if you have to BUY the ingredients first in order to measure/price the amount you used.The food looks amazing, but seriously don't patronize ppl for thinking vegan food is too expensive and then offer up this poorly thought out solution. Raise the price points and this video is gold.

    • @itslivb
      @itslivb  8 років тому +18

      I'm showing people who buy a week's worth of groceries, thinking it is very expensive, how far each ingredient can go. And compared to a meal at a restaurant, how cheap each home cooked meal is. I am aware people have to buy the ingredients as a whole first, but it doesn't make sense to show people the cost of a whole order and then use a tiny bit in a video. Often when I buy spices and other ingredients like that, my grocery bill is high and I feel skeptical about buying certain items. But when I think about the cost per meal, it feels like it is totally worth it. So even though this isn't how you would have done it, most people have found it helpful to think about it in the way I presented.

    • @incitemur2862
      @incitemur2862 8 років тому +9

      she almost uses the same things in each meal so if you bought the full size ingredients for about 10 bucks you can have about 3 meals so she is right since they are similar ingredients the title is correct. separately it might not make any sense but all together it will probably cost approximately 3 dolars per meal

    • @Jayterra
      @Jayterra 8 років тому +7

      She did include the cost of the spices in the cost analysis. she just included the amount that she used, which is appropriate. Many grocery stores where I live sell spices bulk and you can go in and purchase a tbsp worth if needed. Obviously I buy more and keep it on hand for other recipes, but I agree that only the amount used should be shown in the price analysis.

    • @coyoteroams
      @coyoteroams 8 років тому +8

      Emily MacDonald Well. Vegan foods aren't always healthy so yes, there is such thing as being an overweight vegan. I won't disagree there. Metabolic damage is also a common reason as people are recovering from a lifetime of dieting and restriction. But your body can't become obese/overweight if your diet consists of whole plant foods and you exercise; at least walk for a half an hour each day. Healthy vegans have very efficient bodies. You can't get fat off of spinach or potatoes unless you literally consume a truck load every meal or restrict yourself.

  • @taythebeast3343
    @taythebeast3343 7 років тому

    I am trying to encourage my boyfriend to eat healthier and so he said he would eat something healthy if we could cook it together. We couldn't afford to go to prom this year so we decided that tonight was the night. I chose to make the pub burger; he thought that he was going to hate it, but it pleasantly surprised both of us when we found that it was amazing and tasted pretty legitimately like meat. We even tricked both of his brothers into believing they were meat patties! (Obviously we told them after they took the first few bites, they didn't even care because they were just that good :D) The best part is now he is way more into the idea of eating at least a primarily plant- based diet! Yeeeeyyyy! If you're trying to introduce some of your plant-based foods to meat eater friends, I 100% recommend this. Thank you so much for posting this Olivia!

    • @taythebeast3343
      @taythebeast3343 7 років тому

      I should note that getting all the ingredients costed me like 30 bucks though. Her claim of it being 1.95 dollars is a reeaaallllll stretch there. Fed five people though, and had enough leftover ingredients to make another batch. So, I mean, I guess it's still about 3 dollars a burger. Btw if you guys haven't tried Ripple Pea Milk it's fantastic, and you definitely should.
