"Lazy lunch": prepares whole meals. My lazy lunch: take a slice of bread, spread peanut butter on it, put it in my mouth. LOL

Hey everyone! I would like to make it clear that the term 'lazy' is for the youtube algorithm, and these meals were 'more labour intensive' than a v lazy meal because... that wouldn't be interesting to watch. Yes, for me a very lazy meal means getting something out of the freezer or having a couple pieces of toast and a banana... but I doubt that would be very interesting to watch. So please take this video with a pinch of salt, as it is a product of how the platform forces to create content. This is also a look at the 'kinds' of meals I'm able to make because of course I make my own schedule. When I had a full time job and was creating youtube videos on the weekends or before work, my meals still looked similar.

Hey Friends ! Today's video is a second in a series of 'a week of lazy vegan lunches.' The last one did pretty well so I thought I would continue and create a series as I too love watching, What I Eat In a Week videos etc. Hope you enjoy! If you do please give it a like and subscribe and it really supports my channel xx

I Absolutely Adore that you demonstrate eating leftovers!!! When my children were young I would have built in “leftovers” nights when meal planning-I would empty out the fridge of its containers & ask each child what they wanted on his/her plate. They would come up with combinations of foods I never would have thought of. We each loved it! & it gave me ideas on how to serve certain foods in new ways. Win-Win! Thank You for another great video🙏

This high school sewing teacher (🇨🇦) likes to occasionally bring two lunches/snacks to school to share with a colleague (cuz I believe that the greatest way to create happiness for oneself is to create happiness for others). I know some teacher friends who are going to be uber-thrilled to share some of these lunches. Thank-you for all your plant-based kitchen inspo Immy. 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary🌿

7:20 I mean, these tomatoes were just too cute. One of the nicest aspects of growing your own food!

[@MrThelemonrose]

I hope everyone has a lovely day!!!

[@zuzannawesierska55]

Thank you for saying “I finished everything I had made”. This made my day. Whatever I make I’ll eat it all. Regardless of the amount xd

[@vintagedoll4850]

I'm not vegan but learning and slowly incorporating. You make it look easier, less frustrating and delicious.

[@margarett_b]

4:00 Rye bread is absolutely the best. Especially when it is a homemade rye sourdough but most store-bought ones are awesome too!

[@ImmyLucas]

Totally agree!

[@margarett_b]

10:00 Lentil salads are just so awesome. Especially if you can pack in some fresh herbs!

[@vickyjansen3544]

I recently made some black bean chilli and had a lot of black bean broth left . Sauteing whole cummin seeds and tomato paste with some cacao powder in olive oil. Adding small dices of what ever vegetables into the pot. Also added small glass of coffee, leftover spicy pickle juices, and the black broth with spices. OMG it was so good. It's a pick me up broth. Love how you use up your stuff in the fridge. Thanks again....

[@lydiajo7010]

Agreed- no such thing as too much mayonnaise! 😋

[@suvamsingh3248]

I like your nail with multiple colours 💅

[@marycharlebois6627]

Since all us like-minded planet-saving people are spread out all over the world, and we can’t do lunch together in person… this is the next best thing. 😃 Great idea Immy… I’ll look forward to doing lunch with you and this amazing community here on your channel on a regular basis. I’m excited for the Premiere/Live Chat… see y’all there. 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary🥪🥣

[@priscillavarela1822]

Planet saving people? With your overly processed, imported foods? How do you think your food is made and brought over ?

[@huffleproud7171]

I thought you had a shirt that said Tuesday…I need to pay more attention lol these look great, and it’s so cool to see how you make meals with what you have

[@nadinerich]

Lol, I can totally see that!

[@alinabelousova]

Yes, we want to see more of these videos for sure! I actually have the same tahini brand - I found it to have the best flavour. Others seem too bitter.

[@AnaMoShoshin]

some might say these are not exciting meals, but those who know how satisfying it is to actually eat all your garden veggies, or use up what you have, find them amazing!!

[@ImmyLucas]

So true!

[@annitherainbow]

Drinking my tea and watching this video. Love how relaxing it is. Perfect for watching whilst drinking my tea.

[@ellacbeeful]

Lovely to see some lunch inspiration and I love the way you film the process of making each one :) Also a fan of the bizarre mix lunch haha

[@natyork]

Love a good wrap with something warm in it! Can't wait to see that mushroom "stoup" recipe! Already jotting that down on my "meal prep ideas" list :)

[@jennischweitzer1324]

A bakery near my home uses rye flour to make their chocolate chip cookies - so so good!

[@ImmyLucas]

Sounds sooo good!

[@kimdelaughder1210]

I agree, hummus with sweet chili sauce is delicious!

[@VirMedina]

6:50 I mean I'm currently a student living on a residence hall, I make invented recipes with whatever I have on the fridge most of the time hahaha Edit: thank you for this realistic video on your week lunches. It wasn't until I moved out for college and had cook for myself that I realised how unreal most meal videos are on KZbin

[@marshaloneagle4646]

At 60 n single, i still make "concoctions" that start with a can or frozen bag of X plus whatever, lol.

[@margarett_b]

11:30 I already cannot wait for this recipe. This mushroom stew/soup seems so comforting plus I have never had anything like that!

[@michelemagni2501]

Your meals are so amazing and you are so creative!!! I wish I had everything you prepare it’s making me so hungry! Also being an American… corgette and aubergine sound so much better than zucchini and eggplant as we call them 😊♥️! Thanks for the great healthy ideas!

[@patriciaelmore274]

Please make more of these videos .

[@maiahN]

I love hearing all the cooking sounds… chefs kiss haha. Love this Immy💕

[@Pyrion93]

I love your videos. You are so good at using up what you have, your food always looks amazing and your calm voice is very soothing.

[@theresalwayssomethingtobui944]

End of the week-fridge-cleanout couscous salad is just the best! Or, sometimes we make lentil patties and stuff them with left over carrot, bell peppers or other crunchy veg in the batter. Or Letscho- basically hungarian ratatouille with more tomato sauce and onions. To be honest, I'd eat the pickles as are ;)

[@marycharlebois6627]

Hi Astrid j.f. I just discovered the joys of homemade ratatouille last weekend. I’m not a fan of eggplant so I substituted tofu instead. I love that ratatouille is a versatile dish and it uses up lots of veg from our garden especially zucchini. Like you, I also love lentil patties. Have a great upcoming weekend.

[@emmateawitch]

Some lovely simple recipes here I really want to try especially the lentil soup (but I have green lentils) and can’t wait for the mushroom soup/stew in the next video.

[@darcyferrigno]

I love "bottom of the fridge" meals. I remember growing up my mom would almost weekly make random veggie soup with the veg that needed to be used up. Sometimes brothy and sometimes creamy but always good. Also, I am glad I am not alone in my making of bizarre, random bowls. As long as I have a tahini dressing, i can add anything to the bowl and find it yummy.

[@celinekleinpilates]

love the calm vibe of this video 🥰 And as someone who cooks daily with a lot of preparation and thought beforehand, any meal that I don't plan where I just throw anything I have on hand together seems a bit 'lazy' to me lol but of course the meals were still labour intensive so I understand that for most people it's not the typical lazy meal!

[@howtomakedinner]

What’s not to love about a bizarre mix? It looked delightful!

[@ImmyLucas]

Couldn't agree more!

[@vina221]

can't wait to see how you make those dumplngs, they look delicious!

[@gabyiskewl7678]

That lentil recipe is really close to how I prepare lentils/lentil soup! I’m Colombian and usually beans or lentils are served alongside rice as a side with meat but also commonly eaten just together as a soup with rice on the side. The recipe is very similar it’s onions, garlic, and cumin cooked with lentils (we use green lentils) and you can add coconut milk if you like as well for the soup or add in green peppers if you like :D

[@embodiedbreath4626]

I loved the video! Thank you. Looking forward to the meal prep video.

[@chloejohnson6959]

Hummus juice yumm!

[@hatsk1778]

You should try raw courgettes in your salad, I just use a peeler to get them super thin and long. Tastes surprisingly yummy! Really enjoyed your recipes! x

[@Shroedinger73]

I make a similar Red Lentil soup often. It’s cheap, quick, easy, filling, nutritious, & you can vary the flavors simply by changing the dry seasoning...sooo good 🖖🏻😎🥳🤩

[@andreeaarcaleanu3367]

I LOVE pickled carrots and, my favourite, cauliflower 😍😍😍 and they are good with everything and anything, just Devine.

[@nadinerich]

Yes to the cauliflower! Cauliflower, chickpeas, lentils, and rice are my primary bases.

[@zoegomez1059]

love this - would love to see something similar but for high in protein when doing lots of cycling/workouts etc. something I'm struggling with at the moment!

[@nadinerich]

I'm a vegetarian but obviously eat a lot of vegan food so I really enjoyed this! Gave me some great ideas to try out :)

[@AthynVixen]

Can't wait for the mushroom stoup meal prep :D

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Immy thanks this gives me ideas for easy lunches.❤

[@lieseberkvens4716]

Loved it! Are your nails a reference to 'Promising young woman' :)? If so, that would be excellent.

[@jslapensee83]

Yumm these all looked so good to me ! Craving sauerkraut now lol

[@nh7295-c9i]

Omg those mushroom stewp (??) dumplings look delicious, I'm looking forward to that video!

[@karenthomas1456]

Oh I hope you're going to give us the recipe for the mushroom stoup please Immy, it looked great.

[@karenthomas1456]

*Edited to fix my terrible typos.

[@rachel_was_here]

Loved this! I've been feeling lazy to cook but all of this is making my mouth water and I'm inspired to get in the kitchen. Thank you😄

[@luciepavlova6739]

hi, loved the video as always! I know the second recipe (red lentil soup) but I always make it with sliced carrots, they make the meal taste so good. I will also start adding cumin, thanks ;)

[@susisauerkraud8337]

Hey, where ist the beautiful cup with the vegetables print from?

[@stacyhindalong9083]

Could you add a recipe or ingredient list for these recipes? For the beginners amongst us.

[@jamiecee4960]

You must watch Rachael Ray. Stoup... ☺️😁 I love Bean sandwiches. That looked really yummy. 💖 All the dishes did. ☺️

[@ImmyLucas]

Ohhhh never heard Of Rachael Ray! They sound right up my street will go check them out ❤️🙏🏻

[@warriormonk2611]

Courgettes? Mary is going to have a field day with the emoji this week! 😂

[@marycharlebois6627]

Hey nexusvirture… this one’s for you… 🥒🍆🥒🍆… and for dessert… 🍌🍌. How do you like them 🍎🍎? Thanks for having such an awesome sense of humour, I can always count on you for some quick wit and a laugh. PS - in case you were wondering… yeass, I had fun with these emojis. 😂🌎💦Ⓜ️ary

[@musfirahtaqdees7782]

loveee these food videos!! please don't stop making them

[@valentinasperanza7562]

Hi! How did you do the red onion fermented? Thanks you

[@valecana]

wow. how do you make pickled and kimchi? do you have favorite recipes? thanks

[@carf16]

looking forward to see stoups :)

[@veejo9535]

Those ‘lazy’ lunches look so delicious to me and are far more inventive than anything I can ever rustle up; Im going to try each one of those recipes. I basically have predictably one of the three ‘S’s for lunch: salads, soups or sandwiches and save the whammies for supper. So, now Im wondering if your lunches are your main meals and what kind of meal you eat in the evenings?

[@courtneycheek3407]

What is your wrap folding technique!? I can never get mine that secure 😅

[@ImmyLucas]

fold the bottom up first to secure the bottom part of the wrap so nothing falls out, then each side over. It's perfect!! haha

[@tarastephens5165]

I know that the use of the word lazy to describe these lovely colourful meals was completely well-intentioned, but I do hope people watching this will realise that this is NOT how lazy looks like for an average person (let alone someone in a full-time office job, parents, anyone struggling with depression, fatigue...). Please do NOT feel bad about yourself if your idea of lazy is a ready meal or a slice of bread with hummus. Again, this is NOT meant as a criticism of Immy or her video which is absolutely wonderful, but I do wish that the massive privilege needed to consider these meals 'lazy' was pointed out.

[@ImmyLucas]

You're right I should have mentioned that I have a lot of time privilege here and I'm sorry I didn't. I also tried to make this video more visually interesting by assembling meals rather than showing my SUPER efficient toast and a banana. I will make this clearer next time! Thanks for your comment Tara, I really appreciate it.

[@siac2526]

Hi! I really want to make some pickle onions, but I'd like to know how much do they last in the fridge?

[@ViviSchr]

your new glasses suit you very well :D

[@carly_hudson]

Can you share who the artist and the name of this song? I loved it so much and google isn’t helping me!

[@hanna_12362]

what an inspiring video! Thank you

[@KiraHelenRose]

Where is your vegetable mug from?

[@LaurenVacula]

I have kimchi in my fridge right now! I have to try your dish asap- because I'm never really sure what to do with it 😬

[@jazminquintero2910]

Wait, do zucchini’s have a different name in the UK? I keep hearing a different word and didn’t realize you were talking about zucchini’s. That’s so cool to me! Keep up the great work, I love this type of content 🥰

[@ImmyLucas]

It does! it's called a courgette here! :)

[@ZeroWasteFamily]

Love the vegan “tuna” sandwich 👍

[@tanpokio]

I love kimchii fried rice, kimchii soup, miso soup (being Asian, well...). But reading that heat killing the active bacteria (probiotics) in fermented food, I've had this debating mixed feelings every time I cook my kimchii & miso dishes now... Idk if anyone shares the feels...

[@pknelson]

As a new vegetarian, I recently tried to make a red lentil dal, and LET ME TELL YOU that rinsing or soaking is ABSOLUTELY necessary. I don't have a mesh strainer and I put very little effort into trying to soak the lentils before cooking them up cuz I didn't think it was needed and I am FEELING IT. My body hates me. Don't be like me. Rinse. The. Lentils.

[@shannahmatecun9996]

❤️

[@endersmith162]

Can we start saying efficient instead of lazy?

[@ImmyLucas]

The only reason 'lazy' is used is because of the way the KZbin algorithm works, it's not ideal

[@maboelnreads]

Weirdly can’t see the recipes anywhere...?

[@ariilynton-smith1256]

i loved this! this is literally what eating in my house looks like, throwing together whatever the fuck is in the fridge and hoping it tastes yummy hahaba

[@LeahEckardt]

My lazy meals are cereal LOL

[@FrootKat]

If that’s lazy then I’m officially moving backwards 😂

[@JehanineMelmoth]

Lovely food! But I think we have different definitions of the word ‘lazy’. :)

[@Burnie_Angel]

5.03 minute mark, subtitles, cannelini and sex since I didnt have chickpeas,,,, just as I was starting to be distracted haha

That’s what I heard! What was she saying?!
