Thanks for a reminder on shopping. I get overwhelmed every Sunday , what am I going to make all week. 😊

[@debbietampasheher3682]

I was surprised to see you buy veggie broth. My son is grown now so my time is different but formore than a decade I've been saving my veggie trimmings and making my own broth. So easy. Just bring to boil then simmer 15 minutes. I save my veggie trimmings in a ziplock bag in the freezer until I need more broth. If I make too much broth I freezer in 2 cup serving sizes. I've saved so much money. But, again, I only had one kid but it's alsoreally really easy.

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Sounds good. Thanks for watching.

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Hi there. Just read your comment again and forgot to add...I don’t really plan meals for the week. That’s the benefit of keeping food in stock for me. I literally just walk in the pantry and choose a meal from what I see on the shelves. Hope that makes sense.

[@caseyplanck6005]

This is EXACTLY the video I need! Hardly anyone addresses how difficult it is to make the change to vegan not for lack of motivation, but because it is a daunting task to plan, grocery shop, and cook in a new way. It just is. And you make it soooo much easier! This is wonderful ! ❤

[@HealthyVeganMama]

I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching!

[@melb4785]

"Become a pantry chef, not a recipe chef" such a great reminder! Thank you for your wonderful content! I learn from you and am inspired with each video you make!

Oh, how I wish we had these products in my country, Mexico. I have the luxury of crossing the border- being that I'm so close to the U.S. but still... it's a shame that vegans in central and southern Mexico cannot buy all of this. I know that a plant based diet is about the simple and nutritious foods like fruits and veggies and rice, etc.. But I'm vegan for the animals and I'm not going to lie- sometimes I want a mock vegan version of the foods I used to eat. Thanks for the tips, btw. ❤

[@HealthyVeganMama]

I wish everyone had the access to easy vegan meals. The great thing is the whole plant foods are everywhere 🙌🏻 thanks for watching

I started shopping like this when I went plant based too!! My husband is still getting used to it... I’ll ask him what he wants for dinner and he always asks ‘what are my options?’ And I always respond ‘I can make anything’ 😊

In every video I watched, I said to myself she sound like she's from LA and I was drawn more and more to you. I love your pantry and striving towards that organization and mindset of pantry shopping. I love your recipes and feel that it is going to make my 50 lb weight loss journey easier to achieve. So glad I found your channel.

Love this! Thanks for sharing 😊 I would love to see what you actually make over the course of a week, the thinking about it is what trips me up, I’ve tried meal planning but it never works as I just end up making the same 2 things, as new recipes always take longer and I always seem to be in a hurry. Also what you make your kids, mine eat meat replacements more often than I’d like, but they just won’t eat the same as mum and dad (they’re 3 and 5) thanks again! Big love from the U.K. 🌱

CA is on lockdown again so I suppose this would be a great time to start this up! I’ve done this in the past but fell off track once I became a vegan.
