Thanks for sharing the tips! Cant wait til I’m back in the UK to explore more. I’ve only been to Tescos twice - a small express one (in Bristol) for snacks, then a large one (in Hove or Brighton? I can’t remember exactly 😅) to stock up on Marmite before coming home (but it got confiscated at customs! I was so sad!) Anyway I look forward to seeing Sainabury’s and Asda!

It really is!

@@D3-DiscoverDeepDreams thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it! It’s a great side of main meal

@@AllaboutFOODD thanks for stopping by 💚🙏🏾

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it if you try it out. 💚

All great tips! And yes they do freeze so well, I do this often when I have the time! Thanks for sharing. That being said the initial effort, while it saves time overall, is still a barrier for a lot of people. Also folks with chronic pain have this solution. If you can pay a similar amount for the convenience and time savings - why not?

@ThePlantPlan Yes, I agree. I actually have ehlers-danlos syndrome, which obviously comes with massive chronic pain, and I find the frozen garlic to be just as easy, which is why I mentioned it. If someone had hand pain that would make it difficult to use a garlic press, I would hope that person would understand it isn't the tip for them. I also find it easier to have something prepared for when I have low energy or high pain and can't bring myself to chop an onion, which is why I offered that solution as well. I'm simply offering an alternative for people who might want one. That doesn't mean I have anything against jarred garlic.

@RP-uu7oq thanks for sharing! Likewise for folks who prefer fresh and have the time and energy, they know the pre chopped and frozen options are not for them. I appreciate you talking about your experience- we are all about showing as many options as possible because there’s no extra points for doing it the hard way if an easier way is more accessible. 🙏🏾

Hi friend! See that’s what I thought it was too but folks act like the food is no longer fit for consumption. Are we missing something? This is now officially a pro bread and anti food waste channel 🤣

@@ThePlantPlanfreezer burn to me has a “taste” to it, like blah! 🤢

@@ThePlantPlanoh and new subscriber. Great video, my first. Looking forward to exploring your channel.

@ I see! Thanks for sharing - I never noticed a taste but many people do. I’m gonna pay more attention now 👀

@ much appreciated and thanks for stopping by! I’ll be posting another soup recipe soon (no freezer burn items 🤣👏🏾) stay tuned!

Hi friend, thanks for stopping by and thanks for the info! I’ve rarely experienced a weird taste with freezer burned items - the texture is usually off but I don’t mind, as long as it’s still safe to eat I’m gonna eat it 😅 Anyway I’m going to pay attention to the taste difference now! …or just eat my food before it gets to that point 😂

You can actually just rinse the freezer burn off to get rid of most of the odd flavor. It just depends on how old it is, whether it tastes off or not. But yeah, soak the edamame or whatever in some water and it'll be almost as good as fresh

@RP-uu7oq yep completely agree - that’s exactly what we did here: a quick douse in hot water to thaw and rinse. It pains me to see folks throw stuff out because of freezer burn. I genuinely wanna know why they think it’s gone bad! 😅

thanks david! it snowed here today so i'll definitely have some of this soup tonight to keep it cozy. hope all's well by you!

@@DoYouSalut Nooooooo! 🤣🫶🏾

@@CozyLofiCat-music yes please do! Try it with or without pepper. Enjoy 😁

@VeganandBroke (👈🏾🤣 great name btw! Subbed) thanks for stopping by! If you try it let me know 🫶🏾

@@jackieo2403 thanks for stopping by 🙏🏾 will do! It’ll be one of my upcoming videos next week. Subscribe if you haven’t already to not miss it!

Thanks for stopping by. So true! And great to see another OG vegan here! I’ve been vegan for 10yrs and that transition from omnivore to vegetarian to vegan was a slow realization of “wow I didn’t realize how much food costs!” Even during 2020-2023 animal based food prices skyrocketed and I didn’t feel a thing until more recently. Anyway thanks for your support. Looking forward to your 2025 grocery hauls - are there lots of veganuary things happening there in the stores? I wish it was a bigger thing here.

Hope you like it! 👀 maybe go for a spiced hot chocolate vibe by adding a packet of chai tea as it boils. You’re welcome!

@@davidthescottishvegan thanks David! I hope you try it and enjoy!

@@D3-DiscoverDeepDreams I’m happy to share all my techniques!! Specifically my time-and-dishwasher-space-saving ones 🤣 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and can’t wait for you to try it! I’ll definitely share the greens soup recipe soon!

@@ThePlantPlan Your time-and-dishwasher-space-saving technique is pure genius! 🤣 I can't wait for that greens soup recipe-it looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your magic with us! 🥳🍲

Yes 😅 have your guard up at TJs !

Thanks David! Hope you try it. Enjoy!

Yes perfect for a chilly night! And with way less sugar to keep you up when trying to wind down. Enjoy!

Thanks Leslie! Yes, especially if you toast it after. It’s perfect!

@@davidthescottishvegan I fear climate change is has really got our seasons out of wack. Is it the same in your area that the day to day weather changes so drasticlaly? Here it’s also been unseasonably warm - so those bitter cold days always feel like they’re coming outta nowhere. 😩 And next week we’re back to 50°F (10°C) 🤦🏾 Anyway, thanks for the tip on those cities! I’m hoping to visit Edinburgh next September for a music festival. I’ll be using your tips while I’m over in SCT! Never been Happy holidays David and thanks for stopping by

It's so good! Tofu is my favorite. Thanks for watching friend!

@@D3-DiscoverDeepDreams I feel like that’s what most folks need, really: 2-3 staple meals. As long as there’s a variety of plants in the mix and a decent amount of protein, you’re good! In any case I’m so happy to hear your expanding your menu with the inspo here 😭🌱 And truthfully - I feel like airfryers were made with tofu in mind! The perfect pair. Try it out and let me know

@@davidthescottishvegan same here, I rarely order out - and this is one reason why 🤣 they’re always so delicate with the good stuff!

@@D3-DiscoverDeepDreams Thanks for checking it out - TPP is great right? And the steamer works perfectly with frozen veg - steams and drains the excess water at the same time. it’s a game changer when you need a quickly prepped veg. I should add links to them in the description- will do!

❤ enjoy!

@@davidthescottishvegan I’m glad you enjoyed David! Thanks for stopping by!

@@D3-DiscoverDeepDreams I hope you enjoy! A recipe note I left out is you may need more than a cup of liquid, depending on your texture preference. 👍🏾🥣

@@ThePlantPlan Cool - thanks I'm heading to the store tomorrow so I can prep this weekend for next week.

I appreciate you stopping by and supporting! Have a fantastic holiday 🎉 And if you ever do visit the US, specifically NYC, let me know!

Thanks! I’m listening to some @cozyloficat-music with my cozy soup 🥣

@@OutlandJourneys thanks! 🙏🏾

@@jackieo2403 thanks friend! I hope you have a great week too. I’d cheers you with my soup boil but that might be dangerous 😅🥣

@@OutlandJourneys thanks! It’s soup season 🥣

@@D3-DiscoverDeepDreams thanks! Nothing like warming hearty foods in this weather!

@@ThePlantPlan Absolutely! Please check your email ☺

Thanks for stopping by! I’m loving this about KZbin - finding folks with common interests. Unfortunately, I don’t garden. My dad does, but he lives too far to collect my compost. Instead, I contribute to my city’s compost program. Just 3 blocks away there’s a compost bin. And there’s 2 urban gardens with compost bins within a 5-7min walk from me.

Thanks! It’s great hack right? It even freezes well.

@@ThePlantPlan simple and great 😍

Thanks and thanks for watching!

thanks friend! i'm glad you liked that. tis the season!

@@ThePlantPlan I lold when I saw this

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing that. We DO all need it and hope I'm passing on some good vibes. Also - that sounds like an amazing TG dinner - quinoa stuffed squash is the best.

Same to you! 🍠🥧

They sure were! No food waste here. But lesson learned!

Hope you like it! Using a rice cooker is actually a great idea! The cook time will be a little bit longer but concept is the same AND will be just one pot to clean. Enjoy!
