WHAT I EAT ON A WEEKEND w/ Easy VEGAN Recipes :)

[@thisveganlife6340]

I love coming to your videos on my off days and getting the inspiration to eat healthier. It’s hard to always eat healthy when life is so busy and overwhelming. Watching your videos makes me want to get in the kitchen and try your recipes and get back to healthier food again. Thank you!

[@NikkiVegan]

I know the struggle! I've been super busy lately too, and it can be so tempting to just reach for a bag of chips (and trust me, that does happen sometimes) But I always feel so much better when I prioritize eating well. Makes a HUGE difference :) I'm so glad you like my videos and that they're helpful for you!

[@thisveganlife6340]

NikkiVegan Yes, I need to get better and fight the urge just eat whatever is easiest vs. what keeps me healthy and feeling good. I love your quick and easy ideas since I have to cook separate dinners for my family (I’m the only vegan) and honestly, by the time I get to my making my own meals most days, I’m over cooking and I eat whatever I can grab. So I’m a huge fan of your fast and easy.😉

[@stephanieareias4876]

Meals look amazing & your voice is so soothing... I subscribed before even finishing the video :) I love seeing vegan cooking looking “indulgent” because so many people think of it as the opposite ~ completely restrictive. Can’t wait to try some of your tricks!

[@kimmyharris2996]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm making the switch to vegan (slowly but surely) and just seeing how easy and yummy these meals look makes this whole thing seem less intimidating to me. I'm actually very excited! I've been watching a bunch of your videos and I'm super inspired and ready to get in the kitchen!

[@MarieJohnson]

Oh my god! You weren't kidding about that dinner being next level! I have to make this for my vegan fam of 6 literally asap! Thank you for sharing I'm drooling over here!

[@MarieJohnson]

Ha! One of my four year old twins just said "Is that vegan?!?! I would eat A LOT of that!"

[@NikkiVegan]

Ahhh 🙈 that makes me so happy!

[@NikkiVegan]

I’m so glad!! Hope you and your family love these recipes 💚💚💚 so excited for you to try them

[@YOHOMEGIRL]

oh my goodness, this was so soothing to watch- and also so informative! I've been eating plant based for a while, but haven't really stepped out of my comfort zone when it comes to cooking, however I'm so inspired to try these recipes out! Thank you so much!!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks! I really hope you love all of these recipes 🤗

[@ali_plz]

Your recipes always inspire me! ❤️👍 I follow other vegans but it’s just something different about you. Your meals always look very hardy, beautiful, and delicious! If only I could make my kids eat like this!

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you! That’s such a huge compliment, I really appreciate it! I’ll try to make some kid friendly recipes around the holidays coming up ☺️💚 thanks again, made my day

[@thecarnivorouskat]

She's my favorite. Always makes me feel like I can definitely do this.

[@thecarnivorouskat]

And I have!

[@roflmaocopter999]

Gotta say, that corn bread with some avocado, tomatoes and some cilantro would be amazing

[@DairyStateVegan]

I read that book twice! I'm OBSESSED with Gilmore Girls and the book is AMAZING!

[@shishi9354]

I’ve been loving everything on your channel! I love that you offer a variety of meals, such as meals that come together quickly, and also more indulgent gourmet meals 😊

[@KCallaAK]

Made the chickpea, potato, quinoa bugers and everyone LOVED them! Thank you!

[@NikkiVegan]

I'm so glad! :) That makes me so happy

[@cryptoenthusiast4999]

What a perfect day! And I love the way you made your dressing directly on the salad.

[@user-en2yx3rb9r]

This is my first time to watch Nikki's Video and I subscribed this immediately. You do know how to cook and plate!! This is beautiful!

[@DARYLGRANTLINDSAY]

Hi there Nikki...Thank you SO MUCH for ALL of your videos, but ESPECIALLY these types which show such wonderful details of what you do with your eating. You're such a WONDERFUL teacher, seriously, and I'm a (non-career) teacher too, so I KNOW what I'm talking about and MEAN every word I'm saying! I am ALWAYS amazed at your ingenuity and creativity in making these meals not only MUCH healthier, but also DELICIOUS. Just adding a little bit of this & that with the sauces and varying the ingredients to provide different textures and flavors....When we're busy, sometimes it's easy to forget that ALL of that makes such a HUUUGE difference in the enjoyment level, without adding a lot of excess fat (as with the oils and even what I consider WAAAAY too much of even the healthy fats ingredients!). and also without, necessarily, spending a whole lot of time, EVERY TIME we cook. (Like preparing some things ahead and making a lot, to eat through the week, or even freeze for further use later.) I tend to be very creative as well, not only in my day-to-day cooking, but also in my recipe-creation (I'm writing a cookbook!). HOWEVER, we all can learn SO MUCH from each other, and I wanted you to know that I have learned SOOOOOOOO VERY, VERY MUCH, so many tips and tricks from you, so I especially wanted to write you this comment to let you know how MUCH I appreciate you and all that you share with us. You are making a REAL DIFFERENCE in my life, and I know in MANY other people's lives as well! ALSO: One more little thing . . . aside from the flavors & textures and healthiness of these meals you show us, your PRESENTATION is always so artistic and beautiful and ALWAYS makes me DROOOOOL LIKE CRAZY....I wanna make EVERY SINGLE MEAL YOU PREPARE!!.....So THANKS FOR EVERYTHING DARLIN'!!! You're WONDERFUL, and please KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!....Sincerely, and with LOTS of love, a fellow "healthier foodie"....Daryl

[@NikkiVegan]

Wow that almost made me cry! I’m so happy to hear that, thank you for taking the time to let me know that you enjoy my videos. It really means to the world. Good luck on your book! 🌱💚

[@DARYLGRANTLINDSAY]

Well, please understand, too, Nikki, that, yes, I certainly DO enjoy your videos, but it is SO MUCH MORE than just enjoyment. I can go to a movie or a play or to concert or a ball game or wherever and certainly "enjoy" those experiences, thoroughly! But there's a big difference between sheer enjoyment of an experience, and having it be LIFE-ALTERING in some very real ways, even sort of "soul-nourishing". THAT is what you're creating here, at least for me. (And I suspect for MANY of your subscribers!) Beyond the helpful hints and tricks and tips and ideas, YOUR HEART comes through, LOUD & CLEAR, and I think that's RARE in this kind of KZbin forum. Which is why I said you're a "WONDERFUL teacher"---because, in my mind, TRULY wonderful teachers INSPIRE their students. One very poignant definition for the word "inspire" is, according to one dictionary, "to BREATHE LIFE into something or someone". . . THAT is what you do, Nikki, and I think you do it naturally, almost subconsciously perhaps. You BREATHE LIFE into your "students" out here who are trying so hard to LIVE better, happier, maybe even longer. Forgive me for being so long-winded with these 2 comments, and I PROMISE I won't go on and on about this, but I just wanted you to understand just how genuinely POWERFUL a teacher I believe you are! (And I also wanted you to know that it really IS possible to "teach an old dog new tricks", since I'm an "old fart" at 68, and still learning every single day. You, your knowledge and abilities are, most assuredly, a real part of that! So thanks again!....with love & respect, Daryl

[@NikkiVegan]

I really try to inspire people to eat a little healthier. It means a lot that it resonates with you. Thank you!

[@8schopra]

Beautiful comment .💚👍👍👍👍💚✌️

[@itzelgonzalez6442]

[@NikkiVegan]

Haha thanks! That’s nice of you to say 🌱💚

[@Melhut65]

I am so excited that I found this video with the cornbread recipe. Everything else looks amazing as well. I'm from the south originally and the kind if cornbread you make here is wheat I consider "real" cornbread and cornbread is something that I have struggled with as far as finding the perfect recipe to replicate those childhood memories of like chili and cornbread or soup beans and cornbread. Most people I know are used to cornbread tasting more like cake! So I get where you are coming from on that one! Thank you for this!

[@Jewels64]

I made your berry compote yesterday morning, so delish, it’s a keeper. Thank you xx

[@NikkiVegan]

I’m so glad you liked it! Isn’t it amazing how much flavor the orange juice gives? Love it

Have you ever had Romesco sauce? It's SO GOOD! I've been playing around with recipes since tomatoes are in season. I've been making it as a pasta sauce but where I work we sometimes have it seasonally on bruschetta with spicy roasted cauliflower and corn - topped with fresh basil! So so good.

[@apucke3]

These burgers are great. I meal prepped them for my lunches this week, and although they were a bit more time consuming than I like for lunches, they were worth it!

[@Jaydit7]

I love all of these recipes (did someone mention corn bread?) but those burgers!!! just reading the list of ingredients and seasonings, I know I'll be making them this fall & winter....Thank you for sharing.

Yummy! You're right, drizzling some nut butter on the oats is the best way to do it! I love having some nut butter with every bite! And this is what I'm doing with other recipes too! I tweak them (or modify them altogether) and make them my own. It's nice to create new things!

[@NikkiVegan]

Agreed, it makes me a much more creative and resourceful cook...plus it's fun lol Glad you can relate

[@YoGinny]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Scientific" I agree. I also take my baking very seriously. Some people might think we're just hungry and love baked goods. But the truth is, we're just very scientific.

Yeah it sucks but usually KZbinrs have limited options to filter out the types of ads they want shown/not shown. Hopefully YT will give KZbinrs more options to choice of ad types

Let me find it for you! In the mean time, basically slice red onions very thin and out in a clean container or jar with a lid. Cover with Apple cider vinegar and add a few drops of agave or maple syrup, some sea salt and if you want you add herbs. I love using fresh or dried dill for this 🌱 let it sit overnight and use it on salads or sandwiches through the week! So good

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thanks Shelly! My advice is to focus on getting at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies everyday. Eat fresh, and eat until you’re truly full. I don’t believe in starving yourself to lose weight. Drink water, get enough sleep, and exercise a little. That’s what works for me ☺️💚 it’s really much more simple than people make it. Eat lots of plants! Focus on abundance, not deprivation, and don’t expect overnight results. Be gentle with your body and treat it well ☺️ health and happiness are long term goals, so take it day by day, meal by meal and it enjoy!
