    I think the real key to vegan life is flavor.
    I am not a big meat eater. I am finding adding seasonings to my veggies, beans and pasta dishes really elevate the dishes.
    Thanks Kim.

      Try cauliflower pizza too! The base is cauliflower and I think a little bit of water for crust and then you pop it in the oven for a couple minutes to get it nice and golden and crispy. Then add your sauce and toppings and pop it back in for about 5-10 minutes and it’s done. My dad made it once and it was DELICIOUS! ☺️😋❤️

    @adt33bjb13 5 років тому +7

    Thank you for your vegan meal videos! I’ve been vegan for 2 weeks due to my health. I lost 50 lbs and then out of nowhere I was getting nauseated, motion sick, and dehydrated after eating animal products. My doctor and my gym trainer made me take a blood test and found I’m sensitive to many things in animal products. I feel so much better but I haven’t been eating diversely, so I am always looking for actually yummy food, not plain unseasoned food.

    Hey, love these videos although I'm not vegan lol. You should get one of your non-vegan friends to try your vegan dishes and give their thoughts about the taste etc. in a video, i think that would be really fun.

    I’ve been a vegan for about a year and a half now and I really love it! Ive recently started eating fresh wild caught, local fish and my body feels great! I eat mostly vegan during the week and will spurge on the weekends with some fish choices. Your videos have inspired me to stay creative in the kitchen! I love cooking but sometimes I get stagnant and I make the same thing- creativity starts to go. I wrote down almost everything from your few “what I eat in a day” vids and I can’t wait to go to the store and start cooking! You have inspired me to be more creative and more confident in what I make. Thank you TheNaturalChic!

    You're a pretty woman who eats pretty food.
    Most Vegans are some good looking people, because they're not eating junk.
    Your skin is glowing, and I see such a peaceful spirit on you.
    Your presentation of food is perfect.

    Am I sleeping on vegan mayo? I've never liked regular mayo so I'm skeptical.
    I need to make that sauce next time I have pasta. I always do a tomato sauce or use marinara from the store, and switch up the veggies that go with it to make it interesting.

    I'm just starting to get into oatmeal but I use instant because I need it be fast cause i got an 8m old and I do not have the time but I add fresh fruit in it sometimes with chia seeds. Is the instant oatmeal still healthy for you? I had made some general tso cauliflower chicken bites and it was so good girl my parents really like it to, I might try what you did with your cauliflower I never thought about eating it like a chicken sandwich.

    • @dreamsequence101
      @dreamsequence101 6 років тому +1

      Ronnie Adore Depends on which you buy. If you get unsweetened packets with the only ingredient as oats, then yes, but flavored packets aren’t healthy for example the maple and brown sugar has so much sugar. I’d recommend Trader Joe’s unsweetened oatmeal packets or Quaker has one unsweetened ones

    • @RonnieAdore

      Ronnie Adore I love using the plain because I don't have to worry about all the sugar and salt. Usually a tiny pinch of salt, honey (raw sugar or maple syrup), almond/soy milk, fresh fruit, chia/flax seeds.

      I buy the big canister of quick oats. We microwave it. It is very quick! My kids will noy eat the flavored packs. Its different.
