Hey friends - hope you liked the video! You can save these + MORE recipes for later via my Pinterest page: www.pinterest.com/caitlinshoemaker/ :) (Also, the final Zero Waste video will be up on Monday, if you are curious about that!)

[@diliac2809]

Where do you buy you instant pot?

[@antoleb8293]

good you have e restaurant? HAHA

[@melissagarcia7824]

Loved the corn chowder! It was delishius

[@hannahwerner2249]

The only açaí Powder I could find that’s affordable is frozen, will that still work for this recipe?

[@septimiusthedestroyer7394]

Ur pretty

[@yellowobject]

I like how despite you working from home, you haven't forgotten how difficult it is to transport some foods. I've seen meal preps from food bloggers that are so unrealistic to real-world scenarios, but yours are always good and easy to take on the go!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

thank you! I do try to keep this in mind :)

[@kaitbleeker]

I cannot thank you enough for your videos, i am not vegan (vegetarian) but you make me 90% vegan, because I always get inspired by youu! Thaaaanks!

[@sunflower3020]

I get u ! I am vegeterizn but really she is making me vegan!

[@annabeahm4264]

Your videos like these have helped me realize how easy it is to make yummy, healthy food to take to work!

[@heatherrude8545]

Stumbled upon your videos through a KZbin meal prep rabbit hole, and I'm so glad I did. I so appreciate inexpensive, plant-based meal ideas from a fellow student without tons of time or money. Thank you!!

[@alliespaulding2749]

Been eating plant based for 3 weeks now and i love it! Hoping to go vegan slowly but surely!!!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

amazing! Good for you :)

I've been a vegetarian my whole life, but I'm trying to go fully plant-based, so these videos are helping me so much! 💞

[@leafm1181]

nice i eat a lot of rice and if you could do variations with rice I would like that

[@Hey-Mr.DJ_PlayThatSong]

@reina I buy the royal blend rice it’s fun

[@AuliyaasGames]

Your recipe recording setup is NeXT LEVeL girl

[@Mawad7]

I'm going to be so hungry after this video

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I was hungry while editing it tooo!

[@nickgriffith6488]

Meal-Prep videos are so helpful! I am in college and mostly do all of my meal prepping on Sunday!

[@nellieeess]

Can you do plant based vegan teenager school lunch ideas/ breakfast ideas. Preferably fast and easy for lazy vegan teenagers like me. 😂💕

[@danip4211]

its_n you should check out A chill vegan here on KZbin. Her “what I eat in a week” videos are super informative and entertaining!

[@RockyLuvsJonghyun]

There’s a channel that has “cheap lazy” in it. She’s a great person 👍🏾

[@barbarellla1553]

@@RockyLuvsJonghyun Rose, Cheap Lazy Vegan - yes, I love her too

[@beeparadise9631]

Couscous with corn, black beans, and avocado

[@princessvictome439]

Yeah i think her older videos have that

[@patriciacalderon92]

Duuudee, i tried out the corn chowder recipe and it was sooooo good. I’m definitely adding this to my list of bomb ass vegan recipes.

[@erinsmakes2933]

If you have done this already lmk but what about a Vegan stock your freezer for winter sort of challenge. You know how during the winter you just want cozy recipes and stuff that gets even better when frozen and reheated? I know easy things like soups and chilis are go to's but I like to cook ahead once a month and stock my freezer so would love some vegan options.

[@Marie-ut4ht]

that corn chowder though, I gotta stop being so lazy and prep all this food!!

[@goddessshehrizah7531]

My current life goal.

[@destinywilliams6964]

I’ve been watching this video for 5 years now and making the corn soup and I love this recipe. Thank you for teaching me how to cook.

[@Whatsername4224]

Definitely prepping those burrito bowls next week for lunch!

[@Rokkiteer]

I just made that cashew-chipotle mayo thing. It's SOOOOO good. I had to stop myself from eating it as is. I took a little bit off and mixed it with nutritional yeast. Yeah, that really works as well

[@hannahashley2882]

I always love your content. Do you plan on making a Zero Waste conclusion video where you talk about what you plan to continue to implement and what you won't do?

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Hannah Ashley yes, I mentioned this in the pinned comment

[@juliabirner4948]

Seriously I LOVE how you cook oil free, salt free and sugar free with healthy whole foods. I needed your videos in my life!!

[@TheNicoleEmmett]

Starting university next week and am for sure going to incorporate these meal preps! Great video! 😄💕

[@francescabosco7619]

You are one of the best Vegan people I know! Absolutely love all your recipes!

[@aly4599]

It’s 1 in the morning and I’m drooling...

[@lcr5910]

I actually suck at cooking brown rice...a tutorial of how you get yours so fluffy would be nice

[@NuraM444]

L CR yes same! Please show us I’m so bad at cooking brown rice

[@davielawrence3773]

Use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Use a lid and bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat. Once the water is soaked the rice should be finished. Put a cloth dish towel under the lid for a few minutes, this should remove steam and make the rice more fluffy.

[@SherbertLime]

Davie Lawrence is spot on with their advice. My only addition is invest in a rice cooker. It doesn't even have to be a top notch one. I purchased this little $15 rice cooker from Walmart a few years back and it makes rice perfect every single time. 2 cups water, 1 cup brown rice.

[@Ty111506]

Rice cooker saved me so invest in one it’s worth it

[@sarahnedved1815]

Without sounding pretentious, a rice cooker is a godsend. I saved a little extra $$ and got one, complete game changer, because I SUCKED at making rice.

[@dfrenchorn]

Girl, we made the Corn Chowder and it was SOOO good! But her terms are just a wee bit off. But she does a really good job of explaining what she's doing anyway!

[@kabatdraws]

Hi Caitlin! I really enjoy your recipes and dedication so I'm only saying this as a friendly tip to try and help you improve! :) Sometimes I got the feeling you don't write down what you're gonna say. It's kinda cute how you manage to squeeze the word "video" five times within the first 30 seconds but after dozens of your videos, it might seem like much. Also, I can tell you're a big fan of tex-mex cuisine but would you consider throwing in some other vibes every now and then? There are so many tasty inspirations - for example in French, Italian, Balkan or Asian cuisine. I would love to see your ideas on those! Keep up the good work

[@MaverickBaking]

That corn chowder sounds perfect.

[@legacyandrea2250]

I LOVE how you showed what the chia seeds did and your voice is sooo ASMR but i love your videos i even invested in the alarm clock you have i love it!!

[@jordenmarie588]

Those chia puddings are adorable!!

[@mariahking732]

You're so inspiring! I just moved out of my parents house and I come to your channel for good inexpensive vegan recipes. I loveeee everything you post and love how waste conscious you are. Just know I watch you weekly! Love youuu

[@charlotte01991]

definitly trying this chipotle mayo!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

you're gonna LOVE it!

[@mauricioalejandromendicuti7192]

What's the first ingredient?

[@alexyncervantes7423]

i’ve been loving your videos! i’ve been vegetarian since july i think & being vegan is something that i’ve always wanted to do, and watching your videos make it seem so much more achievable!!!

[@LinetteArroyo]

I think this is my favorite recipe video that you’ve ever made! These all look so good. ☺️

[@mariedrapalova7365]

I love this! As someone who is transitioning from western diet to heavily plant based I must say that one should take it slow because the amount of fiber in these dishes is very high. Just saying for those people that are not used to this... :) It might cause constipation

[@fashionluvr15]

Or a lot of bloating/gas in my case 🙊

[@crazysexybutterfly]

Made the burrito bowl tonight & it is so delicious!!!! Best beans! Wish there was a time for how long in the instant pot,but your videos are so amazing!!! I love watching them and I'm so thankful you make them!!! Helping me become more wifey material is so appreciated!!! Can't wait to try more of your recipes! Thanks for making it easier to eat delicious and affordable vegan meals too!!! Can't say enough!!

[@aliese66]

I make a recipe really similar to the first one but I use quinoa, a pack of taco seasoning or red enchilada sauce (not peppers), and I put the cilantro and red onion in the corn. Sometimes I eat it in a taco instead of a bowl too. I need to try tht mayo tho it sounds good.

[@juliamcdermott6458]

I've been trying to go vegan for months now but always stopped because I felt that I wasn't getting enough to eat. Im so glad I found your channel and amazing recipes that aren't just smoothies!

[@Shannonsense]

These all looked amazing! I have never tried making corn chowder, but yours looks amazing! Burrito bowls are such a staple!

[@caydendenny3517]

hey caitlin! just made your vegan corn chowder! i didnt have any cream cheese. so i whipped some up. with nasty cashews!!!! so i used coconut milk instead, & it was amazing!!!! i also added in shredded carrots

[@Neverseenstars]

definitely making the corn chowder i have so much corn in my house but no idea what to do-

[@krunktina69]

Nice the corn chowder looks absolutely divine

[@antovillagran836]

thank you! I cooked this today and it looks so tasty! I used quinoa instead of rice so I hope it tastes as good as the one you made.

[@emmart9061]

Have actually tried the chia pudding myself! Amazing recipes ☀️

[@zinavanlandingham5753]

OMG! I so want to “thumbs up” this video so many times! I’m thrilled to find a corn chowder recipe & feel like I could just reach through the screen & give a big ole hug for sharing it with us! 😁

[@Lifes1BeautifulRide]

I can never get tired of meal prep videos

[@alexissalada8241]

That burrito bowl looks AMAZING! I can’t wait to make it for myself!

[@tabsreynolds6137]

Just went and got all the ingredients for the corn chowder I’m so excited. 😩😍

[@AleeshaBeck]

That corn chowder looks fantastic. 😊

[@lilcurlyclouds]

Yum, that corn chowder looks awesome!

[@taliaowens5578]

I LOVE this video. You’re so good at explaining things. Personally I am not so great at cooking. Don’t even ask me how many times I’ve caught my oven on fire... but this video gives me inspiration to cook more!

[@birtecarstens1666]

I actually just got into mealprep, so this is perfect timing. For sure going to make the soup next sunday. Looks so yummy. Love from germany :)

[@callistagill2867]

i love your meal prep videos they’re so helpful omg

[@Sh33naW0lf3]

I enjoy your meal prepping videos as it is so rare to find quality vegan prep ideas. Do you have any ideas for low carb high protein meal prepping? For those of us that are cutting back on carbs but still need to meat protein goals for fitness training goals.

[@feefsmanuel9106]

The corn chowder looks divine

[@sonnithehungryyogi4458]

Yummmm. Will be making the chia acai bowls this upcoming week and that corn chowder (ohmygawd). Great video!

[@titaemira]

[@BetteTwain]

That black bean bowl mmmmm and the corn chowder wow

[@nataliaponce7343]

Love these recipes! I love on the go breakfasts and burrito bowls!! Will probably try that corn chowder soon because that looks 🔥

[@kelseyt9717]

Looks great! I should try making more chia based breakfasts for meal prep. I eat a lot of overnight oats during my work weeks haha, so some variation would be nice. I'm definitely going to make something similar to your recipe for breakfasts soon! Thanks for the video :)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Yes, it's always nice to switch things up! I also have a recipe for some sweet potato breakfast bowls on my blog you might want to check out :)

[@kelseyt9717]

I'll have to try those out too! They look yummy! Thanks for the inspiration

[@sinac369]

I know it’s a process but im going vegan and this video really did help a lot. Thank you so much! I loved most ingredients you use in your recipes.

[@mariebenefiel8688]

More meal prep videos please! I love these. You’re amazing.

[@BeingLovely2024]

You are introducing me well to vegan cooking in the west..

[@sami9651]

I just made the corn chowder (added some lentils for more protein and some summer squash) and dang girl this recipe is bomb!!

[@anuravindranath8733]

All the recipes are so creative! Good job! 😁

[@ruemorales3134]

Omg the corn chowder 😍😍😍😍😍

[@sarahlouie]

Totally going to make the chowder. Wow yum. 🤤

[@safiaansari2932]

[@elainekim2704]

the bean and rice recipe looks amazing for a quick take out meal

[@TheSilverBallerina]

your videos are so helpful!! I'm slowly trying to make the transition to eating vegan. These videos are practical and easy to follow! Keep up the good work :)

[@chelseagranger6434]

these all look SO good. not even vegan but i stumbled across your channel and i will be making these

[@selina8698]

Chelsea Granger I’m trying to go vegan and these recipes are definitely helping since I’m a freshman and don’t really have time :)

[@livelearnlovable]

Thank you SO much for this video!

[@Dana-gd2fs]

I have a question. I've noticed that your speaking pattern is very distinct. A lot of small pauses. Is that an accent thing or just personal style? English is not my first language, so I'm courious. The corn chowder looks amazing!!!

[@buffycatnip]

maybe she's just nervous talking? i think she mentioned something like this in a previous vid where she talked about being introvert..?

[@TraceyMush]

Marie, it's probably a rhythm from her ethnic or regional background. Not exactly an accent, but the way people talk in her family/community. You have a good ear :))

[@joannea6337]

The blending shia cheeds is a probs a good idea ... i don't mind the chia see texture but i do know alot of people who will try my chia pudding and think the texture is too weird

[@maja__5047]

Additionally, you absorb the nutrients way better when blending up the chia seeds. Win-win!

[@alexclark877]

Caitlin, I love you! Corn casserole is my favorite thanksgiving side, and I can't wait to try this YUMMY looking chowder. You're a huge inspiration for healthy living and your calm voice makes your videos such a joy to watch. I wish you could have your own food network show!!!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

ooooh! corn casserole sounds amazing hehe

[@kaiseeb]

I love these! I'm totally trying these next week 😁
