[@leemariesanchez6033]

YES, YES, YES .... a series, please! As a single person, these ideas totally rock. Love your channel. When I want to brighten my day/eve I open it up for fun & information. 🙂

[@CheapLazyVegan]

cooking for one is my fave! AHAH :) thank you for watching and such kind words 😍

[@mysticseraph2213]

@@CheapLazyVegan Yes please! Cooking for one can be so demoralising, so more recipes / a series on this would be awesome, please!

[@ixchelssong]

Yes, I vote for this as a series!

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are my cheap lazy vegan

[@CheapLazyVegan]

It’s the perfect cheap lazy vegan meal honestly

[@andreadoolan416]

🤮

[@Dreamysunshine23]

Yaaasssss... love it!

[@robynirons194]

My cheap, lazy meal is a big potato cooked in its skin in the microwave. Then I cut it up, sprinkle with salt, pepper and smoked paprika, drizzle with homemade tofu mayonnaise and then liberally sprinkle with nooch. Yum!

[@kawaiisenpaity]

yessssss! please make this a series ❤ you give me so much inspiration bb

[@CheapLazyVegan]

awww okay i definitely well! thank you so much 😃

[@Rebekkah2012]

A lazy meal we do are baked potatoes with one of the following on the potato . . . vegan chili . . . or refried beans . . . or broccoli . . . or zucchini and carrots.

[@galitjustme695]

Yes please, make it a series

[@anitab6436]

A wrap that I really like: a whole wheat tortilla spread with almond butter, shredded carrots and raisins. Yum!

[@anneb6438]

I watched this while eating a lazy meal- frozen hashbrowns, frozen pepper/onion mix, and chickpeas with cajun seasoning thrown into the airfryer until crispy. I'd normally top with vegan cheese but was sadly out. Plus some cucumbers for more green. I love the ramen idea!

[@uhoh2017]

I'm disabled so I really appreciate these easy and accessible recipe episodes!!! Guacamole is my best friend. I eat so much of it especially on toast. Or, I make rice and do avocado hand rolls. :)

[@CheapLazyVegan]

i'm so glad they're helpful for you!! guacamole is the best :)

[@jralph31]

TVP does a lot of heavy lifting in my household for an easy and cheap protein source. Leftover rice, TVP, Frozen veggies and some kind of sauce is my go to lunch!

[@oliviawilliams8694]

Yes, I would love more of these videos!

[@michelleguzman9915]

Yes, SERIES PLS 👏🥰

[@Shannonatorrr]

I thought I was too lazy my whole life and then at 36 learned I actually just have an ADHD brain. This type of content is extremely helpful!!

[@TrulyTara86]

Me too

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

Yes please! Make the series! My go to cheap lazy vegan meals are tomato and avocado sandwiches, grazing platters, rice with furikake, cold Japanese tofu, and of course ramen with veggies added.

[@7drunkenmermaids431]

I was literally just craving some rice with furikake. I used to make furikake from my leftover ingredients from making miso broth but it always had the benito/ fish flakes. Do u have an idea for a vegan furikake?

[@nancykinch2991]

I love the laziness of these meals. Looks budget friendly too!

[@maamtoyou7063]

Hey Rose from a fellow Calgarian! Due to health issues, I’ve had to change how I eat and I found your channel. It’s been a godsend! I’ve got my 81 year old mother watching your videos as well and we discuss them over the phone. Thank you for all the work you do on your videos and your Blog!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

awww wow! That's amazing! Thank you so much! : )

[@anitab6436]

Last week I sauteed onions and cabbage and added them to canned tomato soup with 2 t of red wine vinegar and spices. It was delicious and healthy! Using canned soup made it super easy. I eat this with triscuits.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

yum!!! i love canned soup for this reason :)

[@paulinefollett3099]

As I have gotten older and more lazy in the kitchen I am cooking quick simple meals but still they are super healthy and fulfilling. If I am still feeling hungry between meals, I sometimes have traditional oats raw with soy milk and a drizzle of maple syrup. It is so delicious to me. Also a simple recipe is scones. Self raising flour, dried fruit ( I use sultanas and currants) and plant milk. Quickly mix and drop large tablespoon sized amounts onto a baking tray or tin and into the oven ( I use my air fryer) for 10 min on at 175 deg C. The secret is not to overwork the mixture.

[@msneccy2485]

They all look delish. Yes please do more videos like these.

[@traciechakraborty3829]

CONGRATS ON THE AWARD! You DEF derserve it & you're my fave vegan youtuber. my go-to lazy meals are cooking ramen noodles w canned beets, canned beets cooked w salsa, cumin, chilli powder & tofu= Mexi borscht, & frozen corn w miso, tofu & green onions. Btw, you ever make grilled sesame seed sandwiches? Back in the day, BEFORE there were all the fake meats, we used it as a BLT substitute. Just brown sesame seeds in a skillet w vegan butter, press your bread into the seeds & toast, serve w tomatoes, avocados & sprouts. it's sooo delicious, if not a lil messy w all the escaping seeds. BUT the mess is worth it!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

Aww thank you so much!!! Love your ideas!!

[@oihanaruiz6977]

couscous is my go to ingredient for lazy meals too!!

[@Jaydit7]

I like to make your Vegan Spam (aka smoked tofu) in the summer for sammies/wraps, salads, stir fries, etc. It's a really easy recipe and very versatile for those lazy af days...and yes, a Series please.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

yaassss that vegan spam is my fave!!! :) thank you for watching! definitely more to come!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Great to see another inspirational video from Rose and yes making a series of videos on recipes to make that don't involve cooking and perfect for lazy days would be a good idea. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Rose.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thank you so much, David 😍

[@undeadondine1977]

I would love more videos like this! I have a rare genetic illness (actually 2 - 1 vascular and 1 muscular). Chronic pain and muscle fatigue leave me without a lot of energy, so quick and easy vegan meals are always appreciated; particularly if they're cheap since I don't make much on Disability. Thanks for all your awesome videos over the years, and for introducing me to my beloved gochujang (several years ago now) :D Btw. 1 of my fav easy meals: Ramen noodles (plain, vegan, from Japan, I get every couple months from Amazon), "chicken" bullion powder; pressed, diced, and marinated extra firm tofu - it makes a great "faux" chicken noodle soup that I love WAY more than I ever did traditional chicken noodle soup.

[@jinxminx55]

I do peanut butter udon noodles with broccoli. I just cook the broccoli and the udon at the same time in the same pot and meanwhile I mix up peanut butter, a little soy sauce, a little maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, sriracha. you can microwave it for a few seconds if it's hard to stir. I don't measure any of that. then just drain the noodles and broccoli, they only take 5 minutes to cook once the water is boiling, put them back in the pan and stir in the sauce.

[@LunaForge]

GIRL!! YOU LOOK AMAZING! Love the quick and tasty recipes as always 🥰

[@RedMapleCanada]

The instant-noodle soup with all the extras looked so delicious, thanks for the inspiration for a quick lunch today! Greetings from Vancouver! 👍

[@CheapLazyVegan]

it's my fave! haha thank you for watching :)

[@stanleymaness8313]

Yes on making a series!

[@lissah68hall92]

I'd love a series on this👍

[@7drunkenmermaids431]

Definitely would love a series on this. I live alone and often don't feel like making a full meal.❤

[@violetxoxox]

I use toasted black sesame oil, and it really is remarkable the way it elevates the flavor of whatever I use it on. It literally changes the entire taste of anything in a dramatic way, but it’s always - ALWAYS - better. It’s one of those magic ingredients that most people won’t be able to identify when they taste it, but will rave about whatever it’s in. Until I bought some (only for health benefits, having no idea it would have any flavor), I didn’t know why the very simple Asian-inspired foods I made never tasted like they did in restaurants. Toasted sesame oil!!! And you don’t need much. Just half a teaspoon will do it. I add it to things like miso, ramen, salads, steamed veggies with rice, tofu, etc. So good!

[@nataliemartin7164]

A quick lazy breakfast for my children: just eggs and hashbrowns with fruit. Lunch: ramen noodles with frozen mixed veggies seasoned with 2 not-chicken bouillon cubes.

[@ima7333]

I always keep my blended sambal with kaffir lime leaves then simply mix in peanut butter & thin w/ water for sauce or dressing. The Indonesian way would be to boil/blanch the veggies but when lazy, i just put my rice in a bowl top it with my veggies raw or nuke some frozen veggies then add that peanut concoction. Done within 10 min with 9 min for cooking rice in turbo mode in my rice cooker.

[@JonesLeFae]

I love putting a little sesame oil in my couscous-yum! I used to eat couscous for breakfast too, with some agave or maple syrup, almond milk and some fruit. You could add nuts too. 😊

[@CheapLazyVegan]

mmmmm sesame oil on couscous - amazing!! :) couscous is amazing!!

[@sebastiaanvreedenburgh7046]

The couscous recipe is so ridiculously easy and fast. I normally take double the time cleaning up, but this was done within 10 minutes and tastes amazing!!

[@ashleymcdaniel6188]

💯 % agree about the rice! Lol I at least double or triple the amt and split into individual portions and freeze so quick to defrost and use!

[@Oilstories]

Very cool. I would watch a series of these if you made them.

[@lisastarshine2541]

Yes please!! Need more easy peasy meals!!!!❤️❤️❤️ Thank youuuuu!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dallymoo7816]

Yes! That pumpkin pasta she showed us forever ago changed my life. Lol sooo good and easy and creamy

[@CheapLazyVegan]

got it! :)

[@justmamathings]

More cous cous recipes please!! I’m intrigued and wanna try!!

[@cjw1818]

Ok, why did I never know I could freeze rice?! 🤯 This new info is going to be so handy!!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

omg i've just changed your life!!! haha

[@roshee86]

The store also sells microwaveable rice but yes freezing rice that you made would be cheaper

[@adamnilsson87]

I always make instant mash with just the kettle, no pot needed, and add corn and some soy mince. So yummy and has all you need.

[@kiwifeijoa]

Microwaved spud with tomato sauce and vegan cream cheese. For dessert, a block of silken tofu with maple syrup poured over it. Yes, more of these would be great.

[@AwkwardPain]

I am constantly in the state of mind for cooking. It is honestly why I batch cook, but then if I run out before I got around to cooking again, I usually order out. So these could help tide me over because they are actually a lot quicker than ordering food. Though one of my biggest issues is not actually having fresh vegetables on hand (lettuce, cuecumber, etc) because its fairly expensive and goes bad so quickly, unless I do a batch recipe right away, they are gone before I get through even half of it!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

you are a better person than me! haha I am often too lazy to cook anything more than a 5-10 minute meal XD

[@AwkwardPain]

@@CheapLazyVegan I usually have energy in waves, when I have some I will generally cook. And cooking a single meal takes almost as much time as batch cooking the same meal!

[@Elishava_]

I love this video. You’ve given me hope I can learn to cook and eat foods that feel good. Please make a series!

[@tiffanypetersen7645]

That's so awesome about your travels!❤ and lovely quick meals!

I love this too!

[@Kuoncchi]

Great video, repeat for sure!

[@kerripedersen9542]

Yes, yes, yes, more of these videos, please!! And I couldn't agree more on the sesame oil. I mix it with soy sauce as well, and it's my favorite topping for veggie potstickers. My I-don't-feel-like-cooking meals include PB&J sandwiches and nachos with vegan cheese, some canned refried beans, olives, onions, salsa and hot sauce. I also love making couscous salad with chickpeas, raisins, red onions, cucumbers and a lemon/vinegar mixture (mostly red wine vinegar with a splash of lemon juice).

[@steamyvegan]

Mmmm Mr. Noodles, bringing me back to my fave after school snack 15 years ago. Will have to try them this way!

[@tynaheadrick-phipps6768]

[@myrademarchena8309]

Yes I would like a series. I am a new vegan and your ebook along with these easy recipes has helped me 14:08 and my daughter so much. Thank you for making these videos and i am hoping for a series.

[@susietopspin]

I love wraps but am so crap at wrapping the wrap 😂. Love the ideas.

[@jonathanjames7181]

Thanks Rose! I too love the idea of a Cheap Lazy Vegan channel Cheap Lazy Vegan meal series. Seems fitting somehow lol. In seriousness, I enjoy the ASMR quality of some other vegan KZbinrs, but realistically I will never have time to make their complicated recipes. You fill such an important hole in this space!!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

haha thank you! :) yes i love watching cooking videos but i can never get myself to make the extravagant recipes! LOL

[@meazidecorideas]

Good job. Thank you for sharing. Your channel is inspiring. Keep it up!

Love it!

[@flojohobbit5084]

This is a great video series idea and very helpful!

[@lulucifer26]

Heyy, thanks for your video. I always have black sesame oil because I looooove it. One of my favorites lazy recipes is miso soup. I also have some udon and soba noodles in my cellar because it's very fast to cook and I don't know if you have it in Canada but buckwheat galettes are a must have for me because you just have to fill it with whatever you want and to panfry it. If you don't have it in Canada I think you can easily find a recipe online. It's so good

[@nanettewinstonarmstrong9294]

🤍💗 Hi Rose 🤚 Thank You for Your suggestions. Im a Lazy method Cook too🤍 I learned from a Friend decades ago , really good easy quick V meals... ... the Ramen and seasoning packet , a slice of American Cheese ( they have Vegan American cheese slices exactly the taste and texture with the good amount Protein now. ) and some fresh Tomato. I think they call that cremey style Ramen. ?? We were both Vegetarian when Young . The other ones She taught Me was ... Everything Bagel , Creme Cheese ' , Yellow Mustard smear on top ( I know It doesnt sound Good. However really is necessary to the recipe. And My Go to is typically Dijon ) , then thinly sliced Red Onion , then the Beefsteak sliced Tomatos and Salt and Pepper . Capers if You have. Delicious. And also the mock Tuna Salad Sandwich ... mashed Garbanzo Beans and Veganise , Salt & Pepper , Lemon Juice ( and also I have that toasted Seaweed box in My Pantry too add to Her recipe to try and see , She had since 1983 My Husband cooked Me a really delicious memorable meal when We first met. Knorr Risotto and This medley of fresh Broccoli , Carrots , Garbanzo , Onions , Garlic , Butter , Hot Sauce and fresh Cilantro , Very tasty and Good. He wasnt V but did become Vegetarian because He wanted To for about a Year. Wrap ( Sandwich then ) I learned about getting at lunchtime. Lavash , Creme Cheese , Green Onions , Almond Slices , Avocado , Lettuce , Tomato , Alfalfa Sprouts , called Heathers Harvest. Vegan BLT Wrap & Vegan Peanut Butter , Butter and Jelly Sandwich. : ) 🤍💗

😊If that roasted seaweed package is in dry form, what do you do to prepare or incorperate it into this dish so your not chomping on dry chunks of seaweed?

[@jinxminx55]

they're not chunks, they're paper thin sheets, you can just tear them up and put them in. people eat them as a snack just as they are.
