3 Easy Vegan Meals I Eat Every Week | What I Eat in a Day

[@monikadonnelly7105]

Hi Caitlin! I've been watching your channel since your university days. I am 57 and for the sake of my health went plant based about the same time you did. I have enjoyed quite a few of your recipes over the years. Your dump and bake pasta casseroles have been a meal saver for me more than once. I especially love the mushroom stroganoff one and the chickpea one that tastes like chicken pot pie! Thanks for mentioning that the spinach does blend up nicely. I've been afraid to try that one because of texture. I look forward to your future videos.

[@K8EE00]

I'm new to the channel but I'm intrigued by these vegan dump and bake pasta casseroles! Do you have a favorite I can try and hunt down?

[@monikadonnelly7105]

@@K8EE00 Hello! There's an archive of "Dump and Bake" recipes on her blog "frommybowl" which includes various carb bases like rice and quinoa. The pasta ones are also called No Boil Pasta Casseroles. The No Boil Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff is really great. Have fun looking!

[@danielle1724]

Same!!! Been here since the early days when she still lived in FL!!! lol, I also love the dump and bakes and the two you mentioned are my faves. I LOVE the chickpea noodle casserole one I keep it on regular rotation lol 💕

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Thank you so much Monica! I hope you give it a try, and I appreciate your support over the years!

[@trackee2024]

I don't know how you've been feeling lately, Caitlin, but I've watched your channel for a few years. I've been vegan for 15 years and have raised a family with 4 kids vegan as well. Even with all that time and experience, I still learn new things watching your channel. All that's to say is, I hope you're doing well and I'm really glad you're here! Cheers to a new year!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Thank you so much, Tracy! Happy new year to you too :)

Hi Caitlin. I started watching your videos probably 5 or 6 years ago when I went vegan. You were just a baby back then. Congratulations on your nuptials and you look great. Have a great 2024.

[@alyssaaldrete417]

I so appreciate you reiterating that you can have all nutritional needs met in a vegan lifestyle 👏🏼 my yearly bloodwork is always in line too, it’s a bummer that it’s 2024 and there are still people that think being vegan is somehow unhealthy. This will be my 6th year vegan and you were one of the first people I ever followed for recipes and are still my go-to blog on the daily! Thanks for all you do.

[@caitlin4663]

I really liked this style of video. Super relaxed, and informative. Thanks Caitlin ✨️

[@lauramaryloulou]

Thanks for your video! Great hearty salad inspo and love the casual style video :) Happy New Year and hope you’re having a great start to 2024!

[@juchidaf]

Omg that broccoli salad for meal prepping is perfect!

[@juls2334]

Love the broccoli salad recipe, Caitlin!💗💗💗💗

[@sashastarshanti3599]

Thank you, Caitlin! I've been vegan for 16 years, and my blood work is excellent also. I do take Compliment Vegan Multivitamins {3} everyday but that's it. Sadly, I just am not a cook, so I pretty much eat fairly boring, Whole Food Plant Basted meals, so I really appreciate your easier to prepare meals that look delicious! For sure I'm trying the Ramen soon.

[@jonathangrey6354]

your kitchen setup with the mountains in the background is so cozy

[@Andromedacelestia21]

I seriously love your kitchen. That back splash is everything. Love your meal ideas too!

[@ShroomAndMoss]

The ramen stir fry looks delish ! And the quinoa salad so fresh 😋

[@tanyas.9688]

Caitlin!!!! I've been watching you for years and THIS ONE VIDEO was more useful than anything I've seen in a long time! Thank you.

[@marygranke204]

Thank you for the recipes because I am going more plant based this year.

[@CricketGirl33]

Hi again Caitlin! Thanks for the new video ❤ I'll be trying some of the recipes soon!

[@BettyHorn]

I have been vegan for 9 years now and I think yours is the first channel I had followed. I've learned a lot through the years! Just wanted to say thank you and I have to get a wok! Lol!

"Bidet to you, sir!" (Scrubs reference, in case you don't know 😂) Happy new year, Caitlin and Dylan! 🎉 hope you both had a wonderful holiday season 😊 I'm a total baby corn addict too. I could eat roasted baby corn all day long 😅 That Cascadia game sounds really cool, definitely gonna look into that. Thanks for another great video 💚

[@lyndaphidrogo2308]

Omg Caitlin! Good to see you again! You've been my go-to since my college days. I'm so happy you're doing well and looking healthy and beautiful as always. Kudos from TX!

Thank you so much 😊

I love those noodles!! I’ve been getting it in bulk from Costco for awhile now so I always have them on hand, it’s great!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

So great for an easy dinner side!

[@sherylgreenberg3540]

You are beautiful and your skin is amazing- plant based eating helps with that but what else are you doing? Love your recipes- thank you.

[@samiorigami]

When she set down the baking tray at minute 7 the loud sound scared the bejesus out of me and my cats. lol

I watched your 90 (90?) Day yoga journey back in the day and I think another one would be cool! We all need a reinspiration lol.

Thanx Caitlin!

[@hannahisabellelenck]

Wow caitlin I just have to say: I am so gladyou are back. I really missed you/your content and already gave up hope you were ever going to pick up again (cause I‘m dramatic like that). And although Ingredient-wise some of your newer content doesnt really have a lot of value for me because it doesn‘t align with my diet I still really enjoy the style (coming from another creative) and personality. And while I loved and do miss the more wholefood gf naturally sweetened healthy fat Sweet recipes I thoroughly appreciate you posting the content and diet that suits YOU best (not that, news Flash, you need anyone’s approval). And anyways - of course I am here for the Food But most importantly for you because you Are just an amazing human being, just so likeable! So one thing‘s for sure: I‘ll stick around as long as you do❤️ I really enjoyed this video- I love having you just talk to the camera. And imao you make your collabs - especially the one with thrive- work so well! It seems so sincere, suits your content and is just interesting to watch Even though sadly I can‘t even get it where I live. Ps: would you consider doing a reading vlog? Ive been seeing a lot of KZbinrs do them and I always really enjoy your Book content on insta!

[@angelatillman4323]

Wow! You are glowing! You look so beautiful!

Can you do a skin and makeup video? You look stunning!

[@lauracrowley6948]

Love all three recipes. Would you please tell me the name of the dessert at the end of the video. I'l love to try to find it in my area.

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

It's so good! I believe they are called Kinako Mochi (ours were stuffed with red bean paste, but I think sometimes they are not stuffed too)

[@leanneearle3652]

Gotta love the PNW; she's making lunch and it fully looks like its getting dark out :) Caitlin kills salad recipes! My favourite will always be the best chickpea salad

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

*sigh* it definitely is that time of year in the PNW haha. Long summers make up for it though ;)

[@demar617]

How do you make the sauce for the stir fry?

[@CarlaJordan-s6o]

How do you cook tofu in the oven? I'm wondering about temperature and time

[@sharongenco3716]

Great video, and hooray for a bidet!

[@lisaw8619]

I’m going to try the ramen recipe!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Hope you like it!

[@MsSmallvillelover]

What sauce did you use for the stir fry?

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

It's linked in the video description! A mix of soy sauce, hoisin, and sriracha!

Looks wonderful, very delicscious.

[@fredyoung9384]

Can I make the smoothie the night before.

[@Raddiebaddie]

I recently got an insta pot but idk how to use it most effectively. How do you know what settings to use for the quinoa? Do you do something different for rice? Or beans? Or potatoes? In recipes I noticed people say “throw it in the instapot with 1:1 ratio” but then there’s no more details after that about cook settings? Thanks!!

[@Frandallina]

I'm finding that the 7000 ft altitude where I live means that I have to experiment with the times and the settings because they are affected by altitude so I'm guessing that is why most KZbin recipe developers don't give specific instructions.

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I usually google the official instant pot cook charts, they have a bunch on their website! I have the page saved in my phone. Quinoa only cooks for 1 min

[@Raddiebaddie]

@@CaitlinShoemaker ok I’ll look at their site thank you

[@maryh70142]

What instapot do you use and do you like it?

[@PaniWeganka]

What sauce did you use for this dinner?

[@vanessafarber3043]

Hi your smoothie looks yummy. I'm following a plant based raw diet, I struggle to drink, eat 16oz of cruciferous vegetables pluss I have to nuy 3 packs a day yo get that amount. I've only been doing it for 2 wks. I live in . What is your stir-fry sauce please

[@thebowandbullet]

I've been using that low sodium tamari almost my whole life. Was never a huge fan of soy sauce, but Tamari is amazing and gives dishes and sauces a great umami flavour. I should buy stocks in the company because it's such a staple in my home. 😅

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

totally agree, so much tastier than soy sauce!

Be careful of the Orgain products they have high levels of artificial sweetener in them and Stevia and they don't tell you how much. I am not diabetic but a bunch of my friends got very ill from the protein shakes. It affected me and I almost had high blood pressure and sugar coma from it. I am healthy vegan. It seems way more sweet than it says on the package. Sorry. Love your videos.

[@dustincousins2825]

Thanks for the video, but you have 3 bear next to each and the foxes are mostly surrounded one type of animal. Hope you didn't put any money on that game ;^)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I won it lol

That smoothie is not a meal, it's a snack.

[@WildWildWomen]

Why you didn’t wash the quinoa ??????? That thing is BITTER if you don’t wash it

[@riaedmond11]

Sorry, but are you on a time crunch? You talk very fast.

I Love how youtubers give us the generous Permission on Every Recipe Everywhere that we are Allowed to use substitutions. I was worried about jail time.

[@trackee2024]

If you've ever been on any recipe blog, you'll see the absolute dumbest questions about subbing in recipes. They do it because someone will always ask!

[@jackduffy2513]

That smoothie is really bad for your health, especially first thing in the morning. it's basically all sugar. It spikes your blood sugar leading to metabolic disease. I would not follow this advice of a "Smoothie" for breakfast.

[@dj-fe4ck]

False

[@dj-fe4ck]

Sugar is the scapegoat what saturated fat and seed oils do

[@jackduffy2513]

@dj-fe4ck sugar is not good for you my man! Seed oils are not good for you either. They are both just as bad and both a large part of ultra processed foods.

[@dj-fe4ck]

@jackduffy2513 100% false. Sugar is the most important nutrient after water. All the so called sugary foods like cookies, donuts, cakes, chocolate, and ice cream are bad because they are loaded with fat plus other artificial and gmo ingredients. They are not bad because of sugar. GMO sugar like hfcs and beet sugar are the only sugars I would avoid. There are no bad single single ingredient carbs.

[@dj-fe4ck]

Excess Saturated fat is just as bad as seed oils.
