Meal prep for the week| What I eat in a week | Living alone in Japan VLOG

[@SephoraBelle]

I love that Nami makes a proper good dinner for herself the vast majority of time, honoring herself with good food and taking the time to do so for herself. It has inspired me in a very positive way to do this for myself also. I like that she never wastes food either and keeps an eye out for the food bargains. Well done Nami and thank you for being a great positive inspiration.

I like this too how she cooks wonderful for herself.. truly peaceful women

Hi Nami, I have a tips for Pasta with Broccoli : Boil the broccoli in salt water for few minutes, and set aside , and use the same water to cook the pasta. In a fry pan warm olive oil with garlic and chily, add 4 or 5 anchoves and fry them for few minutes , join the broccoli and cook for 3 -4 minutes. Add the pasta freshly drained and mix it. if you want add more olive oil and Parmiggiano. You can swtich with cauliflower. Ciao da Venezia 👋

[@Aaron-kq5kk]

Sounds good! But how do you feel about the ketchup?

[@Pocketfullofpebbles.]

Sounds lovely, love garlic.

[@SimoneRinaldo-d1s]

@@Aaron-kq5kk O my good !!, seasonig pasta with ketchup!. Better with a small piece of butter or olive oil, pepper and grated cheese as well !.

[@Heiksns]

Ich koche die Nudeln und den Broccoli in einem Topf zusammen ca 8 Minuten oder so lange, wie die Nudeln halt brauchen

[@sylvianelambrecht3415]

👍😋🙏😘

[@concettapasquarelli4698]

Hi Nami, for pasta with broccoli (or if you happen to have or know turnips tops) I suggest you make a part of the vegetables in the form of a cream and set aside. In a separate pot, fry a little extra vergin olive oil, garlic and bread powder and/or breadcrumbs, then add the freshly drained spaghetti, the cream obtained previously and the vegetables and... enjoy! You'll see how delicious... In Puglia they are a typical dish. Kisses from Italy! ❤️🇮🇹

[@mimidp2649]

This sounds delicious, thank you for sharing! May I ask what this dish is called? Visited Puglia once, very briefly, seemed a pretty place 😊

[@concettapasquarelli4698]

HI! It takes a precise name according to the shape of pasta used. In our case, in Puglia, the "orecchiette" are used and it is nicknamed in the Apulian dialect as "strascinat con le cime di rap e mollica sfritt". Translate : orecchiette with turnip tops and fried breadcrumbs (Yes, because the original recipe includes it and bread powder too!) I hope I was exhaustive! Bye bye!!

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

I love the recipes you made for meal prep! “TV dinners” were so unhealthy years ago and gave Americans the idea that frozen foods aren’t good for you. But truthfully frozen meals can be very healthy and useful! I hope your video helps to educate people on saving money and time with homemade frozen meal prep. ❤

What a wonderful video what a relaxing way to start my week by having you make your delicious meals it looks so much like something I would want to do you are so talented again for showing us your world

Hello👋🏽Nami… For many years over a weekend… I’ve cooked meals and frozen them…I’ve found it’s such a time saver…once I got carried away and made meals for almost an entire month…I actually enjoyed doing it. This was such a great❤️video. TFS🙏🏽and I’ll see you next time.

Thank you for the video, Nami! I am about to board a long flight and am excited to watch this on the plane.

[@deborahc.9869]

I'm from California in the United States of America and I just found your channel recently and subscribed. I really enjoy your videos. I like the pasta with broccoli dinner that you made, I'm going to try and make it for myself soon. Concerning the fish, you might want to cut the cooking time in half as it will finish cooking when you reheat it and I will not be dry then.

[@ユミ子田中]

パジャマにアイロンを当ててる姿を見て「これが日々の丁寧な暮らしなんだ」と、思いました。 私ならばそのままでも着ちゃう（笑） こういう何気ない動作が日々の暮らしに潤いを与えてくんですね。 namiさんの動画は気付かさせられる事がホントにたくさんあって毎週、楽しみです。 拝見する時間はいつも癒され、一週間が終わった達成感とまた始まる一週間に元気を頂けます。

[@martindurkin8837]

When I have a difficult week I especially enjoy these quiet days with our dear Nami, so gentle and we must not forget stylish! Thank you so much Nami for your company. ❤

[@benedettobruno1669]

Hi Nami. I want to give you 2 pieces of advice: 1. If you plan to eat a frozen meal for breakfast, you should take the meal out of the freezer before you go to bed the night before. You may move it from the freezer to the fridge of from the freezer to the kitchen top. This way it will start defrosting slowly during the night. In the morning at breakfast you can simply warm it up in the pan, under the grill or in the microwave. And it will be ready in less time. 2. If you want to remove cooking odours from your apartment do not use just candles. Instead, when you are cooking, open the window and curtains next to your kitchen hobs. You have quite a large window there. Take advantage of it.

[@CoffeeAndShop]

Hey Nami, I am watching your videos consistently for more than two years now. I am always looking forward to a new video every Saturday 🥰 Watching your videos is my half an hour that I can be in peace and calm down every weekend. Thank you so much for all the love and dedication you put into your videos!

Nami, thank you for sharing your experience with grocery expenses and food prepping. Where I live food is quite expensive these days and I’ve been trying to find some good recipes for meal prep. I will have to try some of these out! In my household it is just 2 people and we spend around $250-$300 a month almost like you. That is just groceries. Thank you for another wonderful video and I hope you have a great week! 🙏🏼💖

[@florentinavoicu2960]

Ciao Nami ... fai bene a congelare certi tuoi pranzi. Risparmi tempo e fatica. Anche se non capisco molte delle tue ricette e la combinazione dei prodotti, io sono convinta che tutti noi dobbiamo mangiare quello che ci piace. Mangiare deve sempre essere un piacere. Buona domenica !!!😊😊😊😊

Happy Saturday! I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you!

[@poorthing]

For USA: 30,000 yen is just over $227.50 as of March 18, 2023. 157 yen equals $1.19 US. Walmarts organic spinach is currently over $5 for a 1 pound package. I've noticed Japanese food prices quoted are always lower than US, using the prices in the Chicagoland area.

[@ShipperChick]

Prices are a little lower in Northern Indiana, but not by much. I’m in the South Bend area.

[@bettybridges1635]

[@johns7539]

@@ShipperChick the difference in price in Japan to US is manly due to the yen’s weakness, (132y to $1) when it was (100y to $1) just a few yrs ago, the price was comparable.

[@ladyofthewood5604]

Japanese prices are much less expensive than here in Charlotte, NC too. Ex: Walmart price on fresh broccoli = $2.48/bunch (326 yen) (not organic, and the "bunch" is smaller than in Nami's video).

Ottima organizzazione e preparazione dei cibi sicuramente metterò in atto questi tuoi consigli sei molto brava complimenti

[@mwilliams9586]

I remember my Dad commenting on me "living alone" and how he could never do that, he would b so lonely. At that moment, I decided to NOT call it"living alone" but to call it "living on my own". It is much more empowering and reminds me that I am a STRONG person, not a lonely, sad person who needs people's pity because I live alone (like my Dad thought). Nami, u r one of those strong, independent, wonderful people. Celebrate living on your own. U will never b alone because u have lots of followers who love you! Many blessings & take care.

Glad to to see that knife sharpened! That was great with the pan of old oil, we don’t have that here…that I know of. USA 🇺🇸 here. You’re new apartment looks very nice. Maybe since you have a larger apartment, you could buy a small freezer to store more foods in. I’ve already started on allergy pills myself, I can feel the pollen starting up already.

I’ve seen vlogs at making okonomiyaki, which I must try the next time I visit Japan. I might try to make it at home, but would definitely need quite a few practices to get it right, especially flipping it over in frying pan! Lol! Love your vlogs, very soothing for me, especially when I come home from a long day at work.

Another peaceful, lovely video that I enjoyed with my breakfast in Australia. I was astounded at how cheap your monthly grocery spend is. We have a very high cost of living here, and for 2 people I spend $300aud a week probably (including cleaning products, toiletries etc.) Enjoy all of your incredibly cheap, fresh, nutritious selections in Japan! I always find travelling there to be very economical.

Ciao Nami, in Italia la frutta e la verdura costano mediamente meno rispetto al Giappone. Per farti un esempio un kg di mele costa circa 3€ e 500g di pomodori può costare poco più di 2€. Non ti preoccupare per gli spaghetti col ketchup, è normale che in paesi stranieri si diffondano ricette un po' strane. Se tu vedessi cosa fanno in Italia in certi ristoranti che dovrebbero essere giapponesi, resteresti sorpresa! L'okonomiyaki era un cibo che avevo sempre desiderato mangiare ma che qui non si trova facilmente, anni fa sono riuscito ad assaggiarlo e lo adoro 😍. Ti auguro una buona settimana! Non prendere freddo!
