post-holiday healthy!🌱 or at least let's start cooking again!❣️ (vegan) what i've been eating

[@gia4146]

I don’t know the best way to explain this but your videos make me feel so SAFE and WARM. Like hanging out with a very chill friend. You inspire me to treat myself with more kindness

[@lovelylexrose]

OMG YES, I feel the same

[@biancajasso6750]

Same!!!! She really makes you feel like she’s your friend irl and I hope one day she can have a meet up or something with her fans 🥺👍🏼

[@veggiejessiee]

Literally same. I was explaining to my husband that they’re just comfort videos for me lol

[@rowens.yarnings]

Last meal: mushrooms on toast. The mushrooms were made with salt, thyme, an obscene amount of pepper and some red wine vinegar. And I had a mug of tea with soy milk and a clementine with it. I love watching your videos, you make healthy-ish look so realistic and achievable.

[@kaylaj4417]

thank you so much for making videos like this:) i’ve been struggling with anorexia for like 12 years, and your content has been so helpful and inspiring to me!! seeing your relationship with food has been so healing for me and i am so so grateful that you choose to share your meals and snacks with the internet:) sending lots of love!!! 💝🌈

[@reelupeeru]

You took the words out of my mouth- I was also anorexic and bulimic, I find these videos so calming and it really helps me to view food in a fun and good way. 😊 EDs are such a sad and deadly thing, any little piece of help and positivity is so important for healing!

[@4ng3lbat]

Same for me! This girl is so comforting ! Granny vibes in the best way possible!💖

[@YesmadNomad]

Thank you for sharing your struggles. Recently recovered / still recovering from anorexia myself .. LIFE is beautiful on this side and I finally feel like LIVING. Honestly surrounding myself with people and watching content creators who have healthy relationships with food was one of the best things I did for myself . Love to you

[@rcarr4441]

If you'd like to, try adding the tomato paste after you've let your veg sweat a bit. It'll brown and caramelize, which will intensify the flavor. Anyway, love your videos, your soups, your humor. 💜

[@Hannah-zw9ow]

“At least let’s start cooking again” this is exactly what I need

[@fbdidhwbahsuxhsb]

I use medium tofu for tofu scramble and it’s always really good! I normally cook it with mushrooms and onions. Then I put it on toast with herb and garlic “cream cheese” and it’s a wonderful flavour combination.

[@vintagejudie_]

Pasta in soup flavor hack: put some oil in a pan and toast ur pasta shells. Soooo good 😋 my abuelita taught me 😁

[@christinay290]

This probably sounds dumb, but do you do this when the pasta is dry? Or when they're cooked?

[@vintagejudie_]

@@christinay290 when its dry 😊

[@oliviariley2844]

“you know the soup’s good when it has those little dots” genius content

[@lizpimentel2566]

I ate while watching this lol. I had oatmeal with some apples I cooked on the stove since they were a little bruised, with cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. I added cinnamon to the oats too because I love cinnamon. Put some peanut butter in the oats and it was superb. I also had an entire pot of black tea with oat milk

[@ShonaSaurus]

Once you froth milk especially cappuccino style like you did (ie - a LOT of froth) you need to swirl it continuously before pouring it into your cup otherwise the froth and the steamed milk will separate FAST. Basically just pour it into your drink quickly! I'm a barista :)

[@sophiaconti1672]

also pro tip for u Em!!! for tomato paste it seems a lot of recipes suggest u fry/sautéed it? it helps deepen the flavour when it has that more direct heat i suppose? I usually sauté my veg, push them to the side, add a little oil the the bare spot in the pan and then the tomato paste and stir it up a little and then incorporate it into the veg, then add the broth and it seems to give it a richer flavour. hope u try this out!!! 💗

[@ComradeBlinkyUwu]

You are totally right, the heat makes the natural sugars caramelize and adds depth of flavour and cuts down the bitterness.

[@Tiffxit]

Last meal was a rice and tofu bowl with cucumber, mango, wakame, edamame, avocado and vegan spicy mayo🥰

[@emlyewng]

that sounds refreshing & lovelllyyyyy

[@Tiffxit]

@@emlyewng it’s soo good. I recommend 💞

[@Asmr_ee]

Ughhh this sounds incredible!! Something I’ll have to make soon myself 🤤

[@AM-ti4dj]

You can use leftover cookies to make pie crust, ice cream sandwiches, cookie butter, or throw them in yogurt or oatmeal. My last meal was rice noodles with spaghetti squash, tofu scramble, eggplant, tahini, nooch, and soy sauce.

[@RazzleRed543]

Emily, thank you for always making me giggle, your videos have been a place of comfort to me for yeaaars. I ate while watching this! A vegan pizza with sundried tomatoes and pineapple, and a quinoa, lentil, red pepper and cucumber salad on the siiiide. Happy new year to whoever reads this!

[@hazystarshine]

I made a meal last night that my dad used to make for my brother and I as kiddos. Its called "rice stuff" and is made of rice, beef, white onions, garlic, and oil. I made it vegan and subbed the meat for an impossible patty that I crumbled, then added spinach, paprika, and nooch. It always amazes me how comforting flavors can be! It brought me way back to childhood and really satisfied my hunger!! Quick, filling, and plenty leftovers for easy meals throughout the week!

[@Bella-tw9sq]

oohh!! yum reminds me of when i would eat the leftover stuffed bell pepper filling as a child haha

[@allie7460]

I have watched your videos for years now and i love every single one of them. You show what an average vegan person eats and not this super flashy idea of what veganism is. Thank u so much for being the cooliest em💛

[@athena6149]

The Nct and Kai in the backround made me so happy

[@Eva-im3zx]

When I make scambled tofu I mix a tsp or so of cashew butter with water until it has the constosteny of cream and put it in with the tofu (if it's too liquidy you can just let some of the water evaporate). It helps to make it less crumbly and also with the flavour. I also add nutmeg 👌

[@Branbrina]

Last meal, Chao Mac and cheese with Chao shreds and steamed frozen broccoli with sourdough bread and miyokos butter and balsamic vinegar reduction with a decaf earl grey tea. 😋 Love your videos!

[@uwuowo9959]

this made me hungry 😖

[@jennarose3336]

Your sense of humor and timing is incredible.

[@JonesLeFae]

Last meal was breakfast at my desk - 4 corn tortillas - 3 of them had refried beans and roasted cauliflower, salsa, and some plain Kite Hill yogurt. The fourth was just salt. Oh, and I had matcha as I do every morning. I know you're a matcha fan!

[@Coffeeandcat]

My last meal was sopita which is Spanish for soup. I buy la moderna pasta shells fry them in oil. Blend 2 ripe tomatoes, 1/4 onion, 2 garlics, and an 8 oz tomato can. Pour that into the shells and water maybe like 4-5 cups water. Season with 1 big heaping spoonful of vegan veggie bouillon, black pepper, a pinch of cumin. Add diced potatoes and boil until shells and potatoes are good. 😊😊😊😊

[@MllrSr]

My last meal was a curry I made with yellow curry paste, coconut milk, leftover butternut squash, eggplant, carrot, spinach, lemon juice and red lentils (I also added some extra spices like cumin, black pepper, cardamom, ginger, garlic and onion). It was super good honestly.

[@bre2345]

My last meal was soup (with chickpeas, kidney beans, black beans, lentils, crushed tomatoes, kale, onion, and olive oil/spices) + two pieces of toast!

[@rosiern7386]

Last meal: miso ramen c shiitake mushrooms, Bok choy, onion, bamboo shoots, and some corn. My go-to throw-together dinner/whenever food

[@iris-vu8wk]

Just made gnocchi with capsicum, mushrooms and olives. Using my mum’s fermented tomato sauce. Fried it al in a pan ❤️

[@JonesLeFae]

I'm always impressed with how clean your kitchen is. I always have to film in a way that hides the stove vent/fan thingy because it's disgusting! My fan doesn't even ventilate because whoever put it in didn't bother to actually put in a vent! So the grease or smoke just blows around and collects on everything. 😝

[@nikuasmom]

breakfast tacos for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With corn tortillas. Just throw in everything you put on the scramble. One of my favorites. Also, griddle the tortillas a little. (frozen cookie crumbs can make a pie crust, like a graham cracker crust)

[@Sarah-xz4li]

I've been making scramble most days for awhile now and I've really perfected it!! I use regular firm tofu and then just salt, pepper, and light amounts of black salt, turmeric, and nutritional yeast for seasoning during the cooking process and then after it's on my plate I add extras like pepper flakes or paprika. I think adding too much seasoning during the cooking process absorbs more liquid and can kinda dry it out and also eggs don't taste like much in the first place

[@Bella-tw9sq]

you use black salt during cooking!? i always heard it was best to add it at the very end. thank you for sharing this recipe!!

[@andreab9954]

I agree that firm tofu works well. I think using frozen tofu probably is what impacted the texture. I think silken tofu would be too soft but I would watch a video of you trying it!

[@mageofquandrix]

I love thrive market. When I was a single parent in school, they have me a free subscription. It was great because I didn't have a car and my local shop didn't have any vegan foods (like milks and stuff.) Also last meal: I had some corn/zucchini/chili tamales and then some vegan jerky as a snack. I'm about to make oatmeal in a minute.

[@IamSarahAnn]

Last meal//currently eating: “Buddha bowl” component leftovers. Some black beans, quinoa cooked in chick’n bouillon & roasted Brussels sprouts all microwaved. Then blobbed a bunch of homemade pickle hummus on top! Pro tip - use pickle juice or jarred pepperoncini brine as the liquid when making hummus at home - it’s sooo good!

[@angharadweeks9242]

I've learned so much reading this comment section today wow lol! Also why is watching Emily make soup so comforting

[@iskabibble91]

post-holidays freezable cookie/treats hack: I like to melt down any excess chocolate, stir it through any left over cookies that have been blnded in the food processor. In the UK we call this 'tiffin' - press the mixture into a tin, top with more melted choc and refridgerate to set. You can definitely add any other leftover bits: choc chips, vegan marshmallows, pretzels, salty crackers, fudge, candy canes etc to make a sort of rocky road situation. Cut into portions and place into a sealable container/freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

[@elizabethheld3130]

The last meal I made was a little burrito bowl with black beans, onions, bell peppers, corn, red cabbage, sauerkraut, and green salsa. I had all the veg in the freezer and I made the aourkraut about this time last year so it was a great way to try to get rid of some older stuff. Plus I can’t go to the grocery store until my PCR comes back so I gotta use what I have.

[@clovesbian]

Most recent meal was toast with avocado, salt, pepper, curry, garlic powder, ans tomato basil powder. With a side of field roast apple maple sausages with maple syrup poured over them. Also a blue spirulina kombucha.

[@julietapolenta8764]

My last meal was breakfast! I had toast with homemade peanut butter and peach slices and a smoothie (spinach, apple, orange, peach, ginger and some ice). So good 😊

[@berkleynisson9654]

Last meal was leftover “casserole” but I just cooked everything in a pot with some sour cream/roux mixture and didn’t even put it in a casserole dish but it was v good and v much emily vibes

[@heyummrandommuch]

Roasted broccoli w a tahini sauce (tahini, water, lemon juice, s&p, MSG, nutritional yeast, onion&garlic powder.) Just a big ole plate. Was divine. Another good video, Em, ty

[@minariii2446]

i love the cozy vibe you have with all the thrifted items

[@Findthebeauty3]

My last meal was spaghetti made with the Impossible spicy sausage. I had cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes on the side with vegan ranch and everything but the bagel seasoning on top.

[@dyzi2lazy551]

Best texture is still the extra firm, or softer "eggy" texture is medium, dont go softer than that or it wont be as good ! But the way i make mine is cook potatoes, then onions and mushrooms, (occasionally ill add vegan breakfast sausage, impossible spicy one is the best!) then crumble in tofu, add garlic salt, black pepper, sprinkle tumeric, red chili flakes, and if u have it, mrs dash onion and herb 🤤add bell peppers and spinach and the secret to a good eggy texture is honestly just a splash of water ! Like thats it! But oh man this is my go to breakfast w some buttery toast 🤤💖 my non vegan husband prefers it over his regular egg and hashbrown breakfast

[@chamham6734]

I’m must be strange because my fave texture is soft/silken. It feels like a softer cooked scramble to me. Actually, I go out of my way to get silken.

[@KM-ii4sc]

I’ll add my preference just to add to peoples inspo - I love using smoked tofu! The only one I can get is usually firm but that’s fine because I add a lot of milk (nutritional yeast , black salt and pepper for traditional or I also add onion, garlic, yellow bell pepper, spinach and tomato for a fun veggie time)

[@mars.mars.mars.]

the ceramic heart is to die forrrrrrr omg i need one immediately

[@SlowMorningDiaries]

The last meal I had was leftover takeout from a vegan Asian restaurant. Started with yam fries which got soggy from being in the fridge but still tasted pretty good. Next up were two "shrimp" pakoras - fritter balls with a flaky vegan seafood filling paired with a curry aioli. Last up was one singular steamed vegetable dumpling 😌

[@lovelylexrose]

every time I see you have a new video I am filled with instant joy, you make my heart smile

Ketchup, hot sauce, salt, pepper. Hot black coffee, and cold water.

The milk! try heating it then transferring it to the heart cup and froth it there.

My last meal was a slice of pizza from a local pizzeria. They did not tell me what was on it at all, but I think it had tomato sauce, Daiya cheese, banana peppers, and some other type of pepper.

It all started when me and my girlfriend decided to make a trip to sprouts farmers market. We were bamboozled to see such an array of choices in produce and grocery items. We decided to pick up some artichokes, lemons, mushrooms, and a can of black beans. What we made will astound you. First we put some rice in our insta pot, the rice was filled with spices from around the world; turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and mushroom powder. Once that was done we filled the insta pot with water and much of the same spices. We cut all the thorns off of the artichokes and put them in the water to cook them to perfection. As that cooked it was time to make the beans and mushrooms. We put the beans in a pot and added veganaise, with some nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. I like to call them (jakes famous beans) next we cut up the mushrooms and sauteed them in soy sauce. We added the mushrooms and the leftover mushroom sauce to the rice and ate the artichokes with melted vegan butter and lemon. BON APPETIT

You prob don’t wanna use silken tofu for scramble bc it will just turn into custard pretty much. Firm is a good choice, but I think the issue was that it had been frozen. Freezing it obviously changes the texture which is usually really good, but not so much for scramble
