Vegan Pantry Tour from our Tiny House

Welcome to my new vegan pantry tour video! This week, I thought I'd share my pantry essentials that help me simplify cooking and maintain a healthy vegan diet.
I also share some of my space saving tips and how we organise our kitchen in our Tiny Home.

My mom thinks I am a food hoarder but I love having everything I need on hand!

[@JJsketchbook]

I’m vegan and have pretty much the same ingredients, also stored in thrifted jars. The only extra things I have are a small selection of ‘randoms’ which I buy when they are still in date but being sold off in places like Lidle: I currently have 2 jars each of roasted peppers and artichokes. Plus a small selection of home made chutneys I made using Able & Co recipes as they came out great and costs very little. Its so lovely to see someone else’s pantry and also to share in your thoughts and daily life. Thanks!

[@holistichearts]

It was fun seeing all the different brands of foods compared to the US where I am from.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I'm glad you enjoyed! 😊💚

[@briannamartin2227]

We are a vegan family in the US and we have similar staples in our home too. I love how minimalist your pantry is and it gave me great inspiration! ❤

[@Anita-rq9ev]

This was very interesting. I'm not a vegan, but many of the products you have, I too keep at home. I like how organized your pantry looks. Looking forward to part 2 next week 😊

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you lovely! 😊💚

[@elizabethkelly9039]

Beans on toast was a staple in our house in Canada. My Dad grew up in England and it was a favourite late night snack of his. I also keep cashews as I love cashew cream, dried apricots, and split peas for soup.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

It seems to be a popular meal! 😊

[@thepracticebaker]

Thanks for sharing. It's very extensive I appreciate that it is.

[@TheEmpressgoth]

Thank you for showing how organized your pantry is so cool 😎

[@RLiberty94]

This was a great video 😄I'm not vegan, but mostly plant-based for health and dietary reasons, lactose intolerant and sensitive digestion. Seeing your pantry tour was super inspiring to me! I love how simple you keep things too. I'd say some pantry essential for me include oats, baking ingredients, dried and canned beans, seasonings and spices, as well as healthy and treat type snacks. I do also have tons of tea and enjoy some coffee now and then. Because I live in a tropical climate I keep a lot pantry items in the fridge too. I also realized I'm might benefit from taking a pre/probiotic supplement.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thanks for sharing lovely! 😊

[@tammystegall5130]

Happy Easter 🐣

[@ruebennomura9143]

Love vegan pantry tour

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you 😊💚

[@davidthescottishvegan]

A lovely pantry tour video Molly. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a good Sunday evening and week ahead. Love 💕 Molly. My pantry essentials are chia seeds, seed mixture (sunflower, pumpkin, flax and sesame seeds the sesame seeds sometimes are replaced with hemp seeds depending on the store brand). Beans of all kinds, oats and different grains and other good healthy whole plant foods.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@phronsiekeys]

That was fun! It's always interesting to see what other people stock up on and how they store it.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I'm glad you enjoyed! 😊

[@glidegirl2]

Thanks Molly, always enjoy watching your films, it was super interesting to watch this as I live on a boat, so I feel that I can learn a lot from your approach and your priorities to food purchase and storage. Funny thing, I have two of the brushed stainless steel window containers exactly like yours, purchased about 5 years ago, I’d like to buy more but can’t find them anywhere!!

[@Dollarstoredolly2023]

I love this pantry tour! ❤

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Nice stock of all the essentials and then some - love the open display on the shelves - you have a home for everything!👍

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you! 😊💚

[@maxinehayes5570]

Great pantry tour would love to see what snacks you bake 😀

[@arlenecoury9976]

One of our FAVORITE salads to make yr. round, but especially in the warmer months, is Israeli Couscous Salad, made with Israeli pearl couscous, apples, fets, dried mint, parsley, pine nuts or slivered almonds, olive oil and lemon juice. YUM!

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Sounds delicious! 💚

[@Alaskaventureswithbrodie]

Pleased that I have all these things. Vegan diet is so important. I am just over a year vegan and didnt realize how good food could taste and how creative I started getting!

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Amazing! I used to hate cooking before but have loved it since I've been vegan 😊💚

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Molly we have all most the same in our pantry. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you for sharing 😊💚

[@adamlogan7340]

Interesting tour round your kitchen Molly. We have freshly made flapjacks cooling off which I'm looking forward to eating.😊

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you! Sounds yum 😁

[@obiblooze5902]

This is pretty much identical to my food store. I'd also love to see what cleaning products you use as I want to get away from chemicals. Thanks for your channel :-)

[@LunaciaBooks]

My partner is Irish, and beans on toast is a big thing in Ireland as well. Definitely not just a British thing! Hi, by the way, I'm a Norwegian vegan. 😊

[@cindy7702]

We are Whole food plant based and store most of the same things.. Love to get ideas for storage.. Your's are great thank you

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you!

[@madelinevegas8123]

I Love your Tiny House I watching from the USA and you’re videos I look forward to seeing them

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Aw I'm so glad! 😊💚

[@Daytona2]

Interesting to see, thanks Molly. I'm not vegetarian but have cut my meat consumption by 90% simply by replacing it with veg sausages, and beanburgers, which I love (dirty veggies?!). I've always liked beans and pulses but, apart from pearl barley (who's texture I love), I don't really know what to do with them - I just dump them in curries & Bolognese's, which are my staples, so looking forward to part two.

[@skyviolet9555]

I always enjoys seeing products and food from other countries, loved the video :) I see pine nuts are expensive also there, I haven't bought them in a long time. Years ago they were more affordable 🤷‍♀ They cost something like 70 euros/Kg, it used to be less than half 😩

[@jkbees]

You are delightful! I eat mostly a whole food plant based diet and have many of the same things in my pantry. And my daughter's name is Molly, too.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Aw lovely 😊

[@FlavorsandTextures]

Nice!

[@jillychandler]

I just wanted to say to you, that I am like you, at 66 years young, I know a lot older than you, but I only watch as little of the news as I can, I can not stand the adverts, and hate any loud noise on the tv. I now live in a private close, where traffic does not pass, thank goodness, and it is so peaceful here. I have tinnitus so any noise really affects me, and I have IBS and lots of other tummy problems, so can not cope with any stress. I live on my own with my dog in a very rural part of Devon, and have sold my car, and only go out to walk Madge, my rescue greyhound. Thank you for your videos, they keep me going. Love and Blessings from Devon England. xxx

[@tanial694]

Jilly, work towards transitioning to a whole foods plant based diet. Start with an 1/8 tsp or small quantities of slow fermenting fibres like PHGG and titrate up slowly over a few weeks eg. build up to a 1/4 then 1/2 tsp which will start to increase the good bacteria in your tummy and decrease the inflammatory bacteria which will help you to digest fibrous foods better over time. Cut out oil, refined flours and sugars and animal products (dairy included)as these foods only make symptoms worse. Even olive oil can be inflammatory for some sufferers. Avocado in moderation. Chia and hemp seeds soaked overnight and then blended ( not whole). Slowly introduce celery juice to calm your system and stop dehydration. An electric heat pad is great for tummy pain! Most medications only make it worse so try to minimise them where you can. Eventually getting off them altogether. Look up High Carb Health on the internet. People are healing naturally as you will see the testaments of sufferers. Truly life changing! I wish you well on your health journey!🌹🐝🦋

[@jillychandler]

@@tanial694 Thank you so much for replying to me, with all this useful information. xxx

[@monicasmall3400]

I’m not sure if you sorted out your icing sugar block issue, but if that happens to any of your sugars, I think you can put it in the microwave with very short bursts of low power heat. Xx

[@mareegeorge8777]

Beans on toast Is quite common down here in NZ as well..

[@angelakneller2880]

I also love the branston baked beans they add extra flavour to stews etc ( I’m not vegan but we do have vegan/ veggie days and try not to eat too much meat x

[@johan4413]

Thank you for your pantry tour. Very interesting for me to watch. I find a lot of similarities with mine. I'm a vegetarian and I have been adding new food lately to get a more diversified and nutritious diet. Love the layout in your kitchen. My wife, who's Russian, got me eating buckwheat, which I find really good and I read is very nutritious. But I don't know if it's easy to find in Scotland. I've also started eating tahini recently. I love to just spread it on a piece of toast. I find it surprisingly good.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you for sharing! Not sure if I've had buckwheat but I'd love to try it 😊

[@tatianaarias7232]

Try adding dry rice to your salt shaker so it does not clump.

[@tubular07143]

Love this video. Would love to see how you make your cleaning products (you mentioned baking soda) and how you use the, to clean around your tiny home.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I'm so glad you enjoyed and happy to do some cleaning content soon 😊💚

[@judithrussell9162]

Pearl barley makes a really earthy and delicious risotto-ish dish, especially with mushrooms and herbs.

[@Paula-pe8hm]

If you put some rice in the salt helps to keep it fresh. Realy enjoy your channel. Congratulations

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Oh great tip thank you! 💚

[@belleraduechel7510]

Beans on toast-not a thing here in the US, although I've heard of it from UK television shows. ;)

[@belleraduechel7510]

I'm wondering, is it exactly what it sounds like? Pork and beans poured over a piece of toast? Baked beans are a big thing here, with molasses and brown sugar, etc. Do you have those there?

[@writethroughtheheart]

Vegan from Canada here! I love love love beans on toast. My favourite is maple syrup baked beans, not sure if you get those there. Such a great, busy day comfort meal.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Oh hi! That's so cool, never tried the maple syrup but sounds yum! 😊💚

[@angelakneller2880]

We would have to add maple syrup to the baked beans but sounds a great combo. I’m looking to be low fodmap eventually ( after Italian holiday) and maple syrup is something I can have)!! X

[@writethroughtheheart]

@@angelakneller2880 Oh, I've done the low fodmap thing! It's soooooo hard as a vegan. I wish you luck and hope it helps!

[@angelakneller2880]

@@writethroughtheheart I’m not vegan x

[@94AnnaAnna]

I actually don't like chickpeas (I'm ok with them in hummus) so maybe I'm an exception 😅 You reminded me that I need to finally try marmite! Great video! I just discovered your channel and I really like your content and your attitude 🙂

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you lovely! Really glad you like my content :). I hope you become a marmite lover!

[@efortunywhitton]

Really good tour! We have similar items/theme... 😊 You had me chuckling with the 'squat' containers, for the nuts 😂 The one nut you didn't mention (I don't think) are hazel nuts; do you ever get those? I add them to sweet and savory dishes; especially in salads; delicious! Hugs x

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I do often have hazelnuts and I love to roast them! :)

[@efortunywhitton]

@@hippyhighlandliving - You'll have to forgive my sense of humour... I meant the 'chuckling about the squat containers' in the best of ways; my imagination took off with the little guys holding the goods. I loved the use of the word - just felt I had to add that. Have a lovely weekend. x

[@jennystrand6362]

Beans of toast was something we ate a lot in Australia. Now living in Canada and nope hubby looked at me as if I was crazy. Vegemite for me! except high in salt so have to limit 😥

[@tanial694]

Molly, just a caution using coconut oil. If you look up Bacteroidetes overgrowth and Coconut Oil/coconut Cream on Google Scholar you will find that the Bacteroidetes gut microbiome bacteria do indeed flourish when a person ingests Coconut Oil/ Cream in ANY quantity which is not good as Bacteroidetes overgrowth can inhibit vitamin and mineral absorption. Most vegans don’t know this fact, and unfortunately I didn’t either until I realised it was making me sick. I stopped using it and swapped it with Macadamia Oil for baking which is safe and delicious! I also researched Nutritional Yeast/ regular yeast and anyone with gut sensitivities eg. IBD, Crohns, Colitis shouldn’t have yeast either. Very bad on the gut flora. Dates are great in smoothies for breakfast with banana and berries! ♥

[@jessicaz.1901]

We don't do beans in toast in the US . We use those canned baked beans as a side dish for summer cookouts. I will have to try them on toast . 😊

[@sarajane46321]

If you try them, get the Heinz brand in the international section of the grocery store. They don't taste like ours. They are more tomato based!

[@jessicaz.1901]

Marmite on wholewheat toast, then top with baked beans. Yum! I’m intrigued by your pan at the beginning of the video. Is it cast iron? If so, what brand is it please?

[@tinalemna7998]

Very interesting pantry tour. My pantry is similar but you definitely eat healthier than I do. Would you mind sharing who’s flapjack recipe you make? Looking forward to next week’s video ❤️

[@khawlahpeace1222]

I love a big variety of things on hand I love being creative. And I’m in america and have never had beans on toast but I’m determined to try it soon. I tend to have issues not wanting any waste so I tend to hoard things and also prepare for bad times if stores have nothing so I have a lot stored too. Do you have any room or foods that you have for a storage if the world falls apart again like during Covid? And how do you store it?

[@CathyN4]

Please can you show us how to make your granola bars and other bars ? Xxx

[@janehinchliffe]

I'm not a vegan either but most days I tend to eat plant-based so 90% of what you have, I do too. I am tempted to buy a label maker ;). One question, do you find your nuts go rancid not keeping them in the fridge, or do you eat them up before they get to that point lol? Thanks for your lovely videos, I watch them every week.

[@brennap520]

I’m from Canada and grew up eating beans on toast! Such a comforting meal. Maybe it is more common here because we are part of the commonwealth?

[@hippyhighlandliving]

So not just a British thing! 😊

[@savannahall7067]

Goodmorning from America. Hope your well. Just thought I would ask What kind of teas do you drink? Have a lovely day. 😍

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Hello 👋. I mostly drink peppermint and green tea 😊

[@angelakneller2880]

Love marmite but have sainsbugs own as slightly cheaper and gluten free where marmite isn’t xx
