COOKING HACKS FOR LAZY PEOPLE

[@CheapLazyVegan]

which hack is your favourite?!? don't forget to leave YOUR lazy cooking hacks below... I'm loving the hacks so far

[@4stringboy]

The garlic one! Howwww have I not found this out until now 🙈I heart garlic (obvs) but it's such a faff to chop!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

I know right... I'm already regretting not doing this sooner! hahah

[@freakychick1978]

Cheap Lazy Vegan Favorite hacks pre-chop everything and using the food processor to chop. My hack to you is to just slightly undercook a batch of pasta then in a container or bag, freeze with a little oil. You can reheat it in the microwave which will cook it the rest of the way or boil in the bag via kettle or in a pot. That way if you want your broccoli pasta you can just boil the kettle and microwave or (using good bags) poor water over both. Maybe a separate bowl.

[@queti1828]

Cheap Lazy Vegan I truly like them all and will start doing this now! Thank you :)

[@sirenshead]

Lazyhack: with my fresh cut herb from my garden, i put them in a ice tray with vegetal oil in the freezer. So when i have to cook , just put it my pan and fry my vegetables. Easy and delicious!

[@lutheranninja1819]

*bursts through the door* Did someone say that I can be *L A Z I E R?????*

[@curiousSOUL22]

For a lazy person, you're very energetic! lol

[@lutheranninja1819]

HAHAHAHA OH MY YESSSS

[@jackieflynt995]

Lol! 🤨

[@saram8965]

Tip: freeze garlic/ginger in ice cube trays. Once frozen, take them out and put them in a sealed bag in the freezer. Then, when you need some garlic, take out a cube/s and chuck it into the frying pan as needed. Tip: freeze onions using a muffin tray. take them out and store in a sealed bag and keep it in the freezer for when you need it. Literally do this with all veges. Capsicum, broccoli, chilli's..whatever you use the most.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

AMAZING!!!

[@saram8965]

mum does this ALL THE TIME! i didn't realise anyone else did it, too. Lol Another tip: get a big shaker for the mixed spices. Don't even need to spoon out the spices, just shake it :)

[@ixchelssong]

I also freeze tomato paste in ice cube trays. I use one or two chunks when I'm making sauce.

[@paulinefollett3099]

For breakfast I pre mix all the ingredients for muesli in a large bowl. Like oats, nuts, dried fruit, hemp seeds, flax meal, shredded coconut, pepitas, bran, sunflower kernals etc. Mix and place into a container ready to use. Then all I have to do in the morning is blend almond milk, a banana and frozen berries together and pour over muesli. It is divine.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

such a good idea!! I really need to do this :)

[@kathrynivelasquez2480]

For flour tortillas, I make up batches of dough..flour, salt, baking powder, and shortning. Mix well. Freeze bags until I want to make tortillas. Take out, let warm up a bit, add hot water, mix into a dough. Proceed. That way there is always a mix ready when I am. Love your blogs hon. I am a 75 year old woman.

[@dudedude3926]

Kathryn I Velasquez This is so smart?? Thank you for sharing, that was very helpful! :)

[@jbell9179]

Great tip!

[@youtube_bryant3579]

The first three seconds really speak to me on a spiritual level. A hundred spice bottles and the one I need is hidden in the corner and surprise it's empty.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

hahaha OH GOD

[@queti1828]

youtube_Bryant so true

[@Sweetpea5767]

This is not so much of a cooking hack as a kitchen hack. I took a plastic hanging shoe organizer and hang it inside my pantry door which is a regular size floor to ceiling door. I put 2 spices in each pocket and label the outside of the pocket. You will know if you run out or are low to buy more. Now I can find all my spices without having to pull them all off the shelf or having them fall out on my head. This also gave me more cabinet, shelf and counter space. =D

[@curiousSOUL22]

Honestly SUCH a good idea! Too bad I've already reorganised every single spice into small plastic containers and trays so they are lighter to drag down from the top of the cupboard!

[@rosewallace-brooker9124]

I don’t have a processor but I’ve learned you can “chop” veggies by floating them in water in your blender. You just make sure you have at least 1 inch of clear space of water above the blade and chop. I have used the onion garlic and celery water for soup stocks and sauces.

[@JenniferSomebody]

OMG! I'm going to try this!!

[@callmewaves1160]

This is a really good tip!

[@marystestkitchen]

Wait...freeze garlic??? whooaaaa never thought of doing that!

[@minimalhippiegoth7273]

Mary's Test Kitchen // Vegan Cooking I think you can pretty much freeze anything as long as you know the needed steps per specific food

[@marystestkitchen]

well yeah, except not everything freezes well and defrosts without going slimy af

[@CheapLazyVegan]

omg I know right!!! I honestly didn't even know either until I realized my parents always have garlic ready to go... LOL

[@kirstenflood5404]

Deffo trying that one out!

[@andrewwashere82]

I froze tofu once, cause it came in two blocks from Costco. The defrosted tofu didn't have the same texture. Became mushy and inedible to me. I think it was because I froze it in its package, water included. Next time I'm gonna try draining the tofu and maybe put it in a Ziploc. See if there's a difference.

[@veronicamariotti4175]

Hi Rose! I'm Italian and broccoli pasta is one of our to-go meals! I would recommend to throw the broccoli and a small potato (sliced) before you throw the pasta in the boiling water, just a minute or so earlier. In this way the pasta will be a bit more creamier. Ok, it doesn't sound good, but you have to try it. At the end I add olive oil and black pepper.

I once bought a whole box of fresh chillies on special So I chopped them in the food processor and froze them in ice cube trays. Every time I made curry or needed fresh chilli in a disb i just threw in one frozen cube. Worked like a bomb!

[@heyitsdeniz]

My first thought was "10 minutes long!? I don't feeeeeeeeeeeellllll like watching it" so I think that says a lot about how lazy I am and how much I needed these tips hahaha

I use the hanging shoe organizer in my bathroom too. If you don't have a closet door you can hang it on the wall like I do and put all my makeup and beauty stuff in it. =D

You and your friends could have a "Pot Luck" meal prep. Instead of bringing food to eat that day, each person has one or two dishes they're responsible for making. Then come together with everyone's contributions and divide them up into weekly meals for each person.

[@MaverickBaking]

Mixing spices seems so obvious and yet I've never thought about it before?? Definitely doing this for curries and gingerbread!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

haha i know, right???

[@zamorajohana]

Same here! Why didn’t I think of that before? Seriously now🙈

[@heatherstevenson5277]

mmmm gingerbread...:)

[@thevividvegan9725]

I haaaaaate chopping up garlic so my mum got me a garlic press 🙌 it’s so quick and easy! We use garlic literally every day so this has saved sooo much time 💁🏼‍♀️

[@CheapLazyVegan]

hahaha yesss!!! I forgot to mention the garlic press - some people prefer to mince themselves and sometimes I do too, but garlic press makes life easier for sure : )

[@ritalucia6202]

I hate it too but I also hate cleaning the press so I only use garlic powder 🤷😁

[@Scrappicat]

Dip your used garlic press into boiling water and the garlic comes right off.

[@Scrappicat]

Ha ha Danielle McElroy! Dip it in the boiling water for the pasta while it's cooking. If you're not already boiling water for something then I got nothing...sorry.

[@saibuc90]

You can put the unpeeled garlic into the garlic press! That way you can easily remove the peel and the press is a lot easier to clean.

[@johnnymcgeemusic]

Freezing fresh herbs in olive oil in like an ice tray is a great way to preserve them. Where I live they can be expensive and I never use them fast enough so this is a good hack to save time, money and eliminate waste. I love the idea of putting together spice blends for frequently made meals, I can't believe I've never tried that.

[@elid3630]

Funny enough I have no problem taking the time to prep or cook but I hate doing dishes and I apply the clean as you go method of working. If I left all the dishes until the end I’d have to just go lay down and cry. Lol

[@CheapLazyVegan]

omg yes!! the dishes and cleaning is the WORST part! where's my personal home robot to do my dishes for me ? :(

[@elid3630]

Cheap Lazy Vegan right! Is it wrong that I want to either figure out a way to get an industrial dish sink installed in my house or just hire someone to just do the dishes? I feel both of those are just really excessive things to want. 😅

[@quigli]

CAYG ftw! Even just rinsing everything as you go along makes the end so much.easier. You still see a big pile of dishes, but theres nothing stuck on them, so it doesn't look so daunting. P.S. Coming from someone who works in a kitchen with an industrial dishwasher and uses it everyday... You still have to rinse and scrub everything. It's very disappointing when you find out that those big things are really just SANITIZERS, and won't get most of the actual food particles off. Completely pointless to have at home lol. What ARE useful are the super-powerful spray hoses that will blast almost anything off the dishes before they go in the sanitizer. Now That is something I'd look into getting at home... There's a lot of overspray, though, so maybe not.

[@MissKapanadze]

OMG yes. I work at starbucks and we have a spray hose in the back of house sink. I NEED ONE!

[@calebpaul9698]

GUYS!!! I AM YOUR SAVIOR Cover your plates in clear wrap..... INFINITE CLEAN DISHES

[@lindanguyen4694]

I can't cook more than I normally eat... because I'll eat it all even though I'm full................. LOL

[@CheapLazyVegan]

hahahha

[@blairw1994]

Same, I’m not done eating when I’m full, I’m done when it hurts and theres nothing left😂

[@linuxelf]

I'm the same! The only way I can do it is if I make myself a plate, then immediately put the rest in the fridge. I find I'm much less likely to get the food back out of the fridge, but if it's still there on the stove or the counter in a big serving dish, yeah, that's getting eaten.

[@carolinasoria5]

Adding to the garlick hack, I like to blend garlic, ginger and oil until I get a paste, then I store it in the freezer. Super easy and convenient for stir fries, curries, etc. Also, blending fresh parsley with garlic and oil and storing in the freezer as well, I love this combination for roasting potatoes or sauteeing veggies!!

[@jocelynhunter2359]

Oo i need to use up some parsley

[@asukachan07]

Omg the broccoli hacks are genius!!! I actually saw a huge tub of frozen garlic in my friend's freezer a few weeks back and was mind-blown by the ingenuity. Not a cooking hack, but for weirdos like me who enjoy chopping vegetables, here's the secret for onions: don't cut the bottom part! Chop the onionl around that last 1/2 inch before the root, and you won't get assaulted by the sulfurous gas. I haven't cried from cutting onions in months! Thank you for sharing, Rose!

[@muzicluva0]

hahahah "We don't want to...you know... get dressed" #me

[@CheapLazyVegan]

LOL seriously tho....

[@louisahula4984]

I love that tip about mixing the spices together in advance! I actually just did that a few days ago with the Savory Spice blend recipe from the how not to die cookbook. I love to sprinkle that one on my pan fried tofu!

[@andrewwashere82]

To add to the garlic/onion tip, I believe you can do the same with ginger as well. Some ppl mix garlic and ginger together like that as well.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

omg yess!! I should do that with ginger, because that's one thing I am literally so lazy about that i never touch it .... even though I do love ginger... i just stick to ginger powder lol

[@andrewwashere82]

Yeaaa, garlic powder works, onion powder works, you can taste them. But I find ginger powder to not be as strong a flavor as the real thing. Lol... So you're welcome, haha.

[@emmafraid5577]

Yes! Personally I don't even bother peeling it tastes the same!

[@giziraleon6830]

Hack for cheap people (like me): buy rice in huge bags in an asian store, it's usually much cheaper and just as good

[@4stringboy]

This is what I needed in my life! Thank yoooooou 🙌🏼

[@CheapLazyVegan]

[@tyras_heartlocker]

OMG thank you for sharing!! Can't believe I never thought of freezing garlic... BEST HACK!

[@mairidanaxemurderer]

I will do a blog post on this one of these days! My favourite is putting large veg in the slow cooker with zero prep - squashes and baked potatoes work well. I also save time mixing chickpea flour and liquids to make a vegan omelette by frying houmous - a houmelette if you will...

[@CheapLazyVegan]

haha houmelette, I love it! : )

[@lizlovee4377]

I really appreciate your channel. As a non vegan i tend to be very lazy && tired all the time (as im a mom of 2) so im not always in the mood for meat or feel like cooking && you still give me simple easy delicious ideas.

[@KittenMittonsNinja]

I use garlic in everything and I never have to mince - I buy large jars of pre-minced garlic in water 😎

[@curiousSOUL22]

oh those taste so different to fresh garlic though

[@LindaASJ]

If you freeze the onions on a sheet pan lined with parchment then bag them up for the freezer, they are easier to pull out of the bag when you need them. If you freeze them all together in the bag they stick together

[@LindaThao]

OK THESE HACKS ARE SAVING ME! TY 💖💖

[@veggiechompers]

Each sunday when we meal prep, I use my veggie scraps to make a delicious vegetable broth. Then just throw in some frozen veggies, rice leftovers and some beans and you got a cheap and lazy but tasty soup.

[@Sandring44]

Omg i needed this!! :O Living the mealprep life again now that I'm working throughout the summer !

[@ExLibris-Alys]

I have a tip for ginger which is similar to the garlic hack. I just peel the ginger, chop it into thumb sized pieces and freeze them in a bag, then when I need some I just take a piece out of the freezer and grate it into the dish I’m making while it’s still frozen! 😊 With garlic I mince it and freeze it in an ice cube tray, then take it out a cube or two at a time to drop into whatever I’m making.

[@Jaydit7]

I have been super lazy during this heat wave....made a huge quinoa veggie salad (that is almost gone) and chopped veggies for stir-fry at the same time...last night's stir fry is almost gone, too...but I have a container of cooked rice to build with. When I chop veggies, I do a lot at one time, either by hand or processor and store them in zip loc bags until needed. I love all of these ideas!

[@Sweetpea5767]

That's my problem.. I make up a big batch of veggies to last and I end up eating too much at one meal and eating on them for snacks. lol

[@laura.kittyy]

💕 the garlic/onion in bulk hack is so brilliant... chopping garlic and onion is always my least favorite thing to do when cooking

[@iriskost]

1. Microwave veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato, frozen veggies etc.. works great and fast! 2. Using a slow cooker for beans- that way you can cook your beans in bach overnight or when you’re not home and when you come back it’s ready to use!

[@cindyp.9030]

I have been freezing ginger for awhile but I never thought of doing that with garlic, I just harvested some from my garden and this is a great way to store it for later use. I also take all of my scraps from chopped vegetables (ends of onions, celery, broccoli, etc) and throw them into a ziploc bag in my freezer. When the bag is full (or several bags) I use them to make my own vegetable stock which I then freeze for later use.

[@laranadesign4764]

I love using Westsoy brand plain soymilk (in the carton) for cooking and making creamy dressings, but I only need a cup at a time. Once opened the clock is ticking, so I pour the soymilk into 1cup containers and freeze them. It thaws BEAUTIFULLY unlike cow's milk that will curdle when frozen.

[@carolcabot3]

Great idea. I have thrown out too much soy milk because I only needed a cup for a recipe. Thanks!

[@KissMyBiscuits]

I love smoothies. I put banana slices on a parchment lined cookie sheet & flash freeze them (takes maybe half an hour.) I transfer the slices to a zip loc bag while they are still frozen & this prevents their sticking together. I use the frozen bananas or other fruit instead of ice cubes and this makes my smoothies taste less watered down and much more delicious! I buy berries or other frozen fruit or freeze it myself. Sometimes I freeze espresso or juice in an ice cube tray to use for smoothie recipes.

[@EvolutionofMasha]

Hmmm....that combo spice hack is really good!!!! Will do! Great video. The only hack I ever do is make oatmeal in the slowcooker lol. Set it on high and it is done after my morning yoga lol.

[@fox_8_god]

Oh my gosh! Mixing a spice coconction! Genious!

[@__violetart9171]

OMG THE GARLIC HACK IS A LIFE CHANGER

[@jeffmiller2878]

Avocados - When I what to buy avocados they're either too hard or too ripe. So I buy the hard ones in bulk. Check them daily and when they are ready - Halve them, remove the pit, peel and put them in a zipper bag and freeze. Yes, they freeze great. Take out in the morning or night before and toss in fridge the amount you want and always have avocados!

[@mikatay13]

definitely going to use your spice hack cos i’m too lazy to take out and put up all 15 million of my spices. thanks for this❤️❤️❤️

[@CheapLazyVegan]

hahaha yessss

[@tristian9006]

Love love love your hair!!! I just cut all my blue balayage off this makes me miss it augh.

[@christiebritton7122]

Omg, batch cooking is my life saviour! Especially with a 7mo!! I’ve always been a batch cooker, and it’s such a lazy thing to do! Lol I do love the mass stored garlic though! It’s been my one bone of contention since being old enough to cook! Will definitely be mass freezing garlic! In fact, I have a clove in a container of water as I type this! Thank you CLV! You are an absolute legend!!

[@janini1232]

There is no better tip than making meal prep/batch cook 😊😍 Its so great to just pop stuff into the microwave and eat

[@JavaTheKat]

OMG!! The minced Garlic and chopped Onion freezing hack sounds LEGIT!! I can't wait to try it!! :-)

[@azure4691]

I just started freezing my beans. Dry beans are so much cheaper than canned but they take a long time to soak and cook so it's great to have them ready to use. I'm going to do this with rice also and maybe even veggies.

[@liznotslow]

Love the idea of a "Cheap Lazy Vegan Followers' Cheap Lazy Hacks" video! My lazy hacks are: Trader Joe's Soycutash - put in bowl with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, microwave and boom - dinner. Also Trader Joe's Melodious blend - one bag and one can of garbonzo beans, again microwaved with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, is a perfect dinner for two. Also with Trader Joe's frozen roasted corn. Sometimes if I'm really lazy I just wash a can of beans and eat it cold with, you guessed it, olive oil, salt and pepper. One way I'm lazy is trying to minimize the number of spoons I use, so I sometimes choose condiments specifically because I can pour or squirt them out of a bottle, not scoop out. And if I need to scoop something out, that's the utensil I eat with. Another lazy thing I do is buy vegetables that need minimal prep. Microwave bags of fresh broccoli are pre-washed and ready to eat out of the bag. Same with baby carrots. And those mini bell peppers (some brands need to be rinsed, but since they don't need to be chopped it's a win). Cucumbers are easy to prep, and I love to chop one up, top with Trader Joe's everything but the bagel seasoning, and eat that as my salad (and would be the perfect accompaniment to the cold can of garbanzo beans for an easy cold summer dinner!).

[@PinksProud]

You're blowing my mind with these hacks.

[@D7cooper]

I buy packaged coleslaw then use it for salads or for a stir-fry with pasta, onions, and garlic. I like the chopping fresh veg then freezing tips best. Thanks for sharing!

[@quigli]

Great video! I already use a lot of these, like pre-mincing/chopping the garlic and onion and freezing it. I work in a prep kitchen and we actually just recently starting prepping the spice blends for stuff like that, and it's really convenient! Doing the same thing at home is a great idea. I also already throw my broccoli in with the pasta to cook it, and use the food processor to chop veg (i learned that trick from work actually) I'm trying to think of a good cooking hack but I seem to be blanking... I can pretty much only think of stuff specifically related to making huge batches, like piercing an extra hole in the top of a large bucket of liquid to stop it from glugging out and splashing all over the place lol. I guess that could be applied to smaller containers as well, but it's not as big of an issue with small containers lol. A really good (but maybe to obvious to be a "hack") idea is to CAYG - clean as you go. As soon as you're done with a dish/utensil, just give it a quick rise to get all the food particles off it. It will make the final clean-up SO much easier at the end, cause you won't have to do much scrubbing.

[@emmadear3276]

I'm loving the come back of lazy meals haha

[@CheapLazyVegan]

haha they never left LOL

[@jayaom4946]

That is a great idea with the spices!!! Every time I make scrambled tofu it's annoying that I have to get out so many spices and open and measure them one at a time. Of course! I just mix them ahead of time so I can make scrambled tofu every day 'cause the kids love it!

[@courtneyann24]

Best hack = Garlic freezing! I always get the 5 bulb packs when they go on sale for like $0.50 and never get to use it all, awesome hack girl!

[@elissadavis5657]

LOVE YOUR HAIR & MAKEUP!!!!!!

[@annevelusa722]

Lazy chili hack: beans - I use pintos, kidneys, and black beans-, corn (optional- I do a Tex-Mex chili), diced tomatoes, tomato paste, seasoning to taste, and ...a jar of chunky salsa! This eliminates chopping the garlic, onions, and peppers. I also sometimes add some cooked macaroni elbows to make chili-mac. So good topped with the cashew parm or just nutritional yeast. I'm totally down with the cook once and eat for days meal prep!

[@rominabrady1489]

"You don't want to... you know... GET DRESSED" - PREACH! XD

[@barbhayes5613]

In all my years of cooking I never made spice mixes - this is a life changer! I like to travel in my little camper van which has LIMITED kitchen space. I'm going to make a tofu scramble mix that I can take on the road! This reduces my camp-cooking spices by a third. Thank you so much for being you.

[@Jo_B_art]

I’ll definitely try the broccoli one! I keep overcooking them in the microwave

[@Pinupred21]

The spice hack is genius

[@dees.4481]

I make batches of mirepoix and freeze them in portions! They are good for more than just soups and stews!

[@RussellBooth1977]

Cooking rice & vegetables with a microwave oven is a quick hack & it helps retain most of the vitamins which are usually blanched out during the cooking process when they are cooked on a stove top.

[@MADZYISTHEQUEEN]

I chop a bunch of veg I like in combination that takes the same cooking time or doesn’t always require cooking - red cabbage carrot grated courgette sweet corn. And I put some in the fridge and freeze the rest. I put it in pasta stir fry salad anything 🌈

[@alisa1727]

Yes!! The past week or so Ive had left over chopped up veggies and I found that I make black bean noodles ore often since it's on hand and I won't feel lazy to chop all the veggies. Also you asked why you haven't done the chopped garlic hack even though its so easy, GIRRRRL BECAUSE it's too much for us lazy people! Another hack is using two mixing bowls and put the cloves in and just shake away! I had to peel over 10 heads of garlic and this saves me SO much time!

[@Ms12pm]

I also freeze garlic but in ice cube trays with a few drops of water...😁 thanks for the hacks, waiting for some more!

[@lepoulpejaune8200]

7:23 I already do this one but I think this is the best thing ever. Same if you're a student or if you usually eat at work which means that you don't have a lot of time to prepare yourself a meal for the next day . Like just cook more for dinner and eat the leftovers the next day. Bonus, I personally believe that some meals are tastier the next day after a night in the fridge like homemade pizza, Bolognese Spaghettis etc

[@vanessafowler5275]

[@samaritaDeath]

Definitely doing the garlic and onion thing

[@buzzweebee8685]

oooooh, I like the mixed seasoning one.

Hey Rose! I actually just finished pre-chopping all my veggies for at least 5 days supply as well as bulk cooking rice and beans. I love the garlic & spice idea! Such a time & counter space saver! ❤️

Also, 7:16 same girl! Lmao

Chopping onions in a food processor and freezing it... GENIUS!! I hate chopping onions because it makes my eyes burn so bad :( and getting the food processor out every damn time is also totally annoying.... so yeah, chopping a bunch and freezing it sounds PERFECT! Thank you Rose for this hack :D

Always so radiant on your videos I love you 💜💙

[@loureddish5783]

I like the hack where you mixed the spices together for different recipes. Sometimes I forget what I put in my tofu scramble, or my chili. Having the spices already put together would be helpful.😊

I haven't actually tried it myself yet, but I've seen it several places online- to peel garlic fast, separate the cloves, put them in a glass jar with a lid or two metal bowls, shake vigorously for 20 seconds or so and the peel should come off

I make sure to ALWAYS stock up my fridge and pantry, even if it's 75% full. Just as long as I use up everything on time!

My hack is eating out of the pot. 😝 why dirty another dish? I do this mostly for soup.

Cheap Lazy Vegan it would also be awesome if you added ginger and onion along with garlic and minced in the food processor and add it to a jar and a little olive oil so that way you can spoon it into a pan when you are cooking and save even more time.

This video has so many helpful hacks that I would never have thought of myself omg thank you !! ❤️

[@catalinareveco4486]

I laughed way too hard at the "don't sue me" lol I love your channel, you're really funny to watch while being very informative. I just registered to skillshare, thanks! Regarding to hacks, I prefer the "mini meal preap": sometimes I would cook double and eat the same thing for two days. I also think of my meals in advance and have a couple of quick recipes if all else fails.

“”You’ve mastered the art of laziness”” too funny :-)
