I love that you still added some real life elements like the oatmeal overflowing or the baby peeing and tooting LOL thanks for still being REAL humans!

[@EatMoveRest]

Hehe glad you appreciated that!

[@bananapatch9118]

Buy spices in Mexican section or Mexican store...prices are way less.

[@kareyspirit686]

Charles Moore, buying spices in a Mexican store does not guarantee getting authentic Mexican spices. I have been looking for Mexican oregano for months with no success. I've found they have adjusted their spices to American tastes. Any suggestions would be welcome.🤔🙏

[@travisfried2116]

@@kareyspirit686 I don't love ordering on Amazon, but they have a great selection of cheap, bulk spices

[@stargazer5073]

Yes, Mexican spices are a great deal.

[@ashleypost5541]

I am not vegan, but these ideas were great! I really want to start incorporating more plant based meals in my family's diet. Our budget is always a concern. Thank you for the ideas!!!

[@rootedinplants]

You could do it Ashley!!

[@EatMoveRest]

So glad to hear these will help you out!!

Yes please continue to make vegan meals for beginners or on a budget and healthy snacks. Your son is looking more like Erin and good chuckle about Max making himself know in this video lol 💨😂😊❤️ Thanks for the videos!

[@EatMoveRest]

Hehe will do more beginner vids! Thanks a bunch!!

[@laurenadams8800]

Me Too

[@rachelgalus]

I would love to watch the progression of your garden

[@EatMoveRest]

Fun idea! We’re about to go buy some seeds and get it plotted out!

[@rootedinplants]

I would love to know where you guys buy your seeds from??

[@EatMoveRest]

Spiced by Maggie we get them from our local co-op! The brand is Seed Savers-lots of USDA organic ones!

[@runnerjet09]

@@EatMoveRest That is where we get our seeds as well. Could you tell me what kind of kale and spinach you have found to be your favorites from them?

[@EatMoveRest]

runnerjet09 we didn’t have much luck with our spinach last year so we are going to have to try again this year before we figure it out! Kale-we love lacinato and curly kale and plant lots of both!

[@laurenmeyer42257]

I buy huge bags of organic kale, the super greens blend and spinach at Costco and put them right in the freezer when I get home, then use them in smoothies!

[@EatMoveRest]

That’s a great idea!

[@amandayandellhisnovel.word1821]

We do this too!! It tastes so good in our smoothies!!

[@nicolel7994]

Same!

I just made the lentil curry dish, IT IS THE TRUTH!!! Im prepping for lunch tomorrow but after tasting it I can't wait. I'm eating it now!!!

[@EatMoveRest]

Yay!!! Glad to hear it!

[@amandavalpey1521]

On the burrito bowl, if you buy some fresh jalapeños (always very, very cheap) take out the seeds and finely dice them, along with cilantro (also very inexpensive), that burrito bowl would be taken to another level for pennies more!! Mexican food, if done right, is always a vegan’s winning go-to cheap, nutrient rich food!! 👍🏽

[@EatMoveRest]

Mmm will do that next time! Thanks!

[@TuscanyFill]

Great ideas! Love how you keep it real with the oatmeal overflow. PLEASE keep showing baby Max. So adorable and love seeing him grow up.

[@EatMoveRest]

Haha thanks a bunch! Will do!😄🙌

[@TravelingOnaShoestring]

Love the idea of buying beans, rice and oats in bulk. We have a Winco in our neck of the woods which carry these product in bulk. Thanks for the great video

[@renstiacumbie3172]

I just ran into one of your videos last week and you guys have me hooked. You guys are the cutest couple what a cute baby. I'm a vegetarian myself and your recipes are fantastic. Keep the videos coming.

Renstia Cumbie yay! We’re so happy to hear all of that! Thanks for your kind words and support!

[@nicolew8589]

I am not vegan but you inspire me. You both have the best energy! Max and Beau are the cutest!!! Many blessings to your family.

[@japhytolkien6505]

Oh guys: such a charming clip, letting us into your blossoming family with directions for those who'd likely be going off to college soon, etc., it shows an emporers'-like assumption of responsibility for others (even if the initial inspiration was the visit to Costa Rica - intensely fun and gorgeous place, yeah? ... I travelled to an organic farm of mangos and guayavas in Alahjuela, Costa Rica while doing some scientific field studies for an organization based there, and wound up visiting nearly all of the state nature reserves from coast to coast) which is truly a sweet gesture by y'all. It's a brilliant thing, to see young parents and a community blossoming from a vegan perspective ... the birth of cool, really. Cheers.

[@drendahalbert8510]

Healthy snacks!! I pre veggies and hummus on Sunday... helps me make good choices during the week 😊

[@ericadgueho_mama_art954]

I have started watching your videos. You all look so happy, healthy and radiant. I still eat meat, well only chicken from time to time but want to eat more and more vegan food. I think it will be a slow transition. Growing up in Poland it was hard to find delicious recipes because it is such a meat-eating country. However, your recipes look simple but yummy. That's what I want. Thank you for inspiring people

if you use canned food as base its ok because your adding water or veggies. its practical because you cant always have every fruit or veggie . frozen is better. my gf and I switched to making vegan and vegetarian meals and she been helping me adjust my old recipes to vegetarian.

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

Me neither, first time :)

[@ahlycya]

😂😂

[@festivalmama]

I usually manage to do the same thing even in a pot! The skillet probably makes it cook faster since there is more surface area on the bottom and for the water to evaporate.

Just don't cover them n you'll be fine. I love cookin mine in a skillet. Lol

just a little tip: leave your oats in water overnight, this helps to neutralize the phytic acid in them, making it easier to digest. in the morning just turn the heat on!

[@EatMoveRest]

thanks for the tip!

I just eat overnight soaked oats lol i put it in a mason jar and add coconut milk and whatever flavorings, like the fruit, and put it in my fridge overnight. Then in the moring i just pop it open, stir, and eat
