What I Eat In A Day #3 (PLANT BASED RECIPES)

[@thriftthick]

Hello everyone!! I promise I'll respond to comments a little later today... I have to take Galileo to the vet right now (nothing to worry about, just his annual exam)! And also, I know, my nose looks less than awesome; dermatillomania struck again! :( It's healing now though

[@beigehues]

Take your time~

[@cherryblossom9470]

Hi Cassie💖 and don't worry, so happy to see another video, my daughters liked too and they wanted me to tell you they say hi😀😀😀😻😻😻😻

[@Mirandathekittengaming]

She said in the intro that it was recorded quite awhile back!

[@ClaireNicole33]

I watched your video then read this comment and went back to the beginning to see what you were talking about with your nose. I would've never noticed bc I'm always mesmerized by your beautiful eyes:))!! You're so beautiful! ♡♡♡

[@ShaniOnSinai]

Your tip on getting nails done has helped me to stop assaulting my skin. I still get little bumps but it's far less intense. Hope all is well my little chickadee!

[@JenniferMyers]

Homemade burrito bowl. Never not a good idea. I could literally eat it for dinner daily and never get sick of it. In fact I pretty much do, lol.

[@thriftthick]

LOL I'm with you on that!!!

[@peggysnail4899]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) You inspired me to make that for dinner! Good when you're low on groceries but keep a stockpile of beans and corn at the ready.

[@BrittanyLaurenWhalen]

It's cool to see you don't waste any veggies! I try to use them as much as I can when kinda going bad or not looking pretty. This country and others in general wastes so much food it is ridiculous!

[@mrsoliviatube]

I'm the same way!! I lick my plate clean at home AND at a buffet 😂😂😂

[@torntigre]

I love watching your meals videos, your plates are so full yet light yet there's so much variety!

[@rf101259]

Looks good! Nice balance of protein, carbs, veggies and fruit.

[@AshlieWagner]

Cassie, if you stand the bell peppers up, and just cut straight down the sides, you don't have to worry about gutting & de-seeding the peppers. Kinda like you're cutting the edges off the "core." It's a lot easier & a lot quicker. I hope I explained this right, trying to be helpful. Oh, and your dinner looked delicious! 😉

[@sarahmunoz14]

That sandwich looks yummy. It's fun to see what other people eat. I get bored with food, and like to change things up. White ( most pungent) and yellow (all purpose) onions are usually added to cooked dish. Red onions are usually added to uncooked dish because of their lovely color and milder flavor. I suggest ( if you like spices) that you add some Adobo dry seasoning to your pepper/onion mix, or the corn and beans. It will add a nice layer of flavor.

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

My trick for peppers-- slice in half, scoop with your hand, then just rinse in the sink. The seeds are small enough that it doesn't matter if they go down the drain.

[@isabelasuhan]

Cassie, I literally sleep every night on the sound of your voice and this video is sooo soothing♡ Love it!!!! Love you!

[@tiffanyvramirez]

I've been gluten free for the passed few months due to health reasons and been having such trouble getting full/staying full, especially with breakfast. I immediately went out and got those rice cakes to eat with PB & a banana and oh my gosh, I am in love! It is so good, I wish I learned it sooner!! thank you so much for sharing!

[@mik_creates4016]

Pro tip for deseeding bell peppers: hold it with both hands and push the stem into the center using your thumbs; the core comes loose with most of the seeds attached, and then you can pull the peppers apart into halves to get the core out.... Most of the work is done, you just have to shake out the escaped seeds and chop up the peppers!

[@dulcie808]

Easiest way to "clean" peppers is to cut them around the seeds. Hold the pepper with the stem up (standing up), then cut close to the stem downward toward the bottom, then turn the pepper and go around - cutting around the seeds. All you will be left with is the top of the stem with the seed pod section still attached. You may have to slice off some of the white rib on the sides you cut off but that's easy enough. Hope that helps! Love your videos!

[@tedoymisojos]

I used to cook big batches of rice too, but i found out recently that one is never supposed to reheat rice more than once. I usually would make a big pot and reheat the whole pot, eat, put in fridge, reheat whole pot eat, put in fridge etc. Supposedly there is a bacteria (or something) in raw rice with bad stuff that survives the cooking process and can cause food poisoning :( What I read said that if I kept it in the fridge and only took out what I could eat and reheated to piping hot on the microwave or through frying it that it was safe, but other wise no. It would keep for 4 days only too! ;_;

[@jodisheridan5223]

I'm not vegan but that sandwich looks delicious. I love pesto, hummus, sundries tomatoes and avocado, but I never thought to put them together.

[@lilymartinez3873]

That is exactly what I was thinking! Never thought hummus and pesto would would go together but it looked so good! Getting ready to go to the store just to make that sandwich

[@thriftthick]

lol well you should give it a try!! They go GREAT together ;D

[@haven00]

Cassie, if you cut in a circle carefully around the stem of the peppers (like you would a jack-o-lantern) and pull the stem out it makes cleaning so easy. All the seeds come out at once, and any loose ones can be cleaned out by running the pepper under some water.

[@daynas7403]

Seriously love these videos! Love seeing someone who is plant based who i can actually steel some meal ideas from! So many youtuber's share the most complicated recipes that are totally not realistic to make on the daily! Keep it up girl!

[@thriftthick]

haha yeah as much as I love complicated recipes every now and again I know I can't keep up with that on a daily/weekly basis.... simplicity is key! Glad to hear you enjoy these videos of mine ^_^

[@mydnyt]

Hey Cassie, when you're cutting the stems out of the peppers, if you cut a little farther out, they can typically cut the seeds out at the same time, so when you pull the stem out it should take out the majority of the seeds too! Just a tip I've figured out along the way!

[@angelapusateri2628]

well now I know what I'm making for dinner tonight. my husband was watching this over my shoulder and was practically drooling at the end

[@thriftthick]

hahahah well I hope you both like the burrito bowl!!

[@carmens4750]

I love when you do these types of videos! I'm trying to eat healthier & it gives me ideas on what to cook. ☺️💕

[@maddz-kn1xw]

"Look how beautiful and happy that dancing little avocado was." You are my favorite person in the world Cassie lol

[@caro.ripa8]

btw are you still doing your work out plan you started at the begining of the year?

[@cassieszczepanski3884]

If you stand up a bell pepper and slice it from top to bottom along the good part that you wanna eat, you're left with the top stem and the core with all the seeds attached! Makes cutting bell peppers so much easier.

[@interiorstager5481]

Oh dear Cassie, you're honestly the best, thank you so much for this great video, after i watched your lunch menu, i went to the store and bought all the ingredients for the lunch and i'm eating it for dinner because it's night here. Soooooooo good. Thank you.

[@melissavlogs6248]

An easy way to deseed peppers is just cut them in half the long way, and just take ahold of the stem inside and pull it out! It takes all the seeds out in one step :-) saw Rachel Ray do it that way, and it's so easy lol. All of this food looks good! 😍

[@Skorea77]

I pretty much live for your videos. :P Thank you for being real and showing us a bit of your life.

[@jaelynrichardson3191]

Yayy again perfect timing I don't have to be work at until 3 which is great👏👏😃😃😃😃 love you Cassie and I'm loving this makeup look you're GORGEOUS😌😌😊❣❣

[@rebeccastewart5470]

My boyfriend used to work at that rice vale factory and he used to come home smelling like them all the time 😁 I love this golden eye look on you!

[@isabella-ys3mb]

painting + cassie = happy me😊💕

[@MyMySharona]

Thanks love all the recipes! Will be trying the first 2. I do buy the same rice cake brand but the Lightly Salted ones, then I mash avocado on top, sprinkle sea salt, red pepper flakes and a bit of Braggs Nutritional Yeast Seasoning, mmm soo good!

[@lavahead146]

Hey, Cassie! Since you like adding some cilantro into your rice, you should try adding the stems while it cooks! Just cut off the stems, tie them with a bit of cooking twine, and toss them in with the water and rice. The stems are too tough to eat, but they have tons of flavor that can be infused into the grain while cooking ^-^ just make sure to pull them out once the rice is done cooking, and finish it off how you like! You can do this with almost any herb :) Happy cooking!

[@Yummykay]

Maybe not everyday or every week but would love this to be a regular thing 💕 love your videos

[@faceofthefuture6701]

Hey Cassie, easiest way to de-seed a pepper is to cut around the outside top like your making a lid. Don't slice through it though, cut around the entire outside top. You should be able to pull the top off and get the seed heart out in one go. Then you can slice the pepper in quarters from the bottom and clean up pieces much easier. PB&B Ftw! :D

[@cccccaitlin]

Me and you are complete opposites! You hate cleaning peppers, I absolutely love it! All of these look so good!!! I hope you make more of these videos 😍😍😍

[@gmagain]

Two questions ! What kind of oil did you cook the vegetables in ? And did you use the beans straight from the can or do you wash them first ? Thanks !

[@jenn7753]

Always rinse beans from a can. They have a gross slime on them that you do not want to eat. I think she said it was olive oil she was cooking with.

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

I was just in the process to decide what to make for dinner, inspiration came through this video, thanks! x

[@SaintMichella]

I ADORE THESE VIDEOS!!! Cassie! These vids make me want to eat so much healthier If you have any tips for creating more healthy eating habits, or maybe a website or cook book you recommend for healthy plant based recipes like these please share them! Love you

[@preetrandhawa12345]

YAY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE TYPES OF VIDS I love these videos so much Cassie💕

[@CrowShayHook]

I don't eat a vegan style diet, but I have tried incorporating more plant based food and it has all been pretty tasty. I really want to try that berry baked dish you did awhile back. Looks sooooo good. 😛

[@JojoNola]

Please make more of these videos, Cassie!! Love you lots!! ❤

[@beep.boop13]

all of these meals look soooo good!! i love how simple and creative all of them are. i will definitely be trying these 😊

[@socksaisillesofargoz]

Hi Cassie! About the peppers...the easiest way to cut them is cutting off the top and bottom and then cut out the seeds using your knife in the pepper tube lol. They wont be as pretty as yours but its SO much better. 😊

[@annettesh75]

Yea! plant based meals!!! Do more on this!! You turned me on to the Silk Yogurt.

[@sannahafiz7872]

lol this gave me the ASMR vibes

[@DriftingMiasma]

I know right?? I think Cassie has a lovely voice haha.

[@ellissavage3238]

Cassie does that a lot

[@ClaireNicole33]

Yesssss:))))

[@sannahafiz7872]

yes I agree:)

[@heathercastor1685]

I'm gonna try the burrito bowl tomorrow night! Thanks for the idea! I have been vegan about 7 months and my meals are getting boring! Need to change it up so thanks for the inspiration!!

[@SillyDuckMoose]

I'm not sure if someone has already suggested this but instead of cutting the bell peppers in half, try cutting a side of the pepper off. Like literally near the stem slice off one side and then just go around the pepper with the other sides, then you can just slice the sides into strips or whatever. It should avoid the seeds and core. Sometimes I have to remove some ribs from the inside of the pepper sides but it's way easier in my opinion. You can salvage what's left of the top and bottom of the pepper stem and core of the bits of pepper still left.

[@PuppyMarie]

Even though im not vegan you give me some really good ideas on some dinners i might like. I had gastric sleeve surgery back in march and have a hard time with meats and my diet has pretty much become plant based. AND now im hungry and its midnight lol

[@drawer304]

Cassie! I'm never usually a comment-er on videos, but I've been watching for a while now. I also have a light picking habit and something that I've found usually works very well for me is an extractor. It's a little metal tool that gets rid of the pimple without damaging the skin. I've seen a major improvement in the amount of scars that I end up with on my face. I think they should have them at Sephora. I know I end up with really red and damaged skin the next day if I pick at my pimples, and know that this tool is something that I just couldn't live without anymore. Much love, and love to Galileo!

[@ashattack1080]

It looks to me like she may have psoriasis, I personally have it and have had it my whole life. It's hard not to pick at it sometimes.

[@marieglad]

+Ash Sig She doesn't have psoriasis, she suffers from Dermatillomania (Excoriation Disorder).

[@ashattack1080]

Marie Glad Interesting, I'm new to her channel and the marks on her arms definitely resemble psoriasis. But thanks for clearing that up.

[@marieglad]

+Ash Sig OMG, can't get the link right but if you search for Dermatillomania her video should come up. 😊

[@jennx34]

I am cooking that burrito bowl tomorrow!!! Omg it looks so delicious! I'm so excited lol. Thanks Cassie.

[@natashaferia537]

Everything looks so good! And I totally am with you on cutting/cleaning peppers lol

[@anicolewong]

Oh man! Thank you Cassie! I was feeling down and struggling with sticking to this plant based lifestyle! But now that I've watched your video I'm amped to stick to it! It can be delicious and nutritious!!! ☺️

[@mandymckk]

That's the exact same breakfast I've been having everyday for months now! Soooo tasty!

[@Partsofajourney]

Beautiful as always, Cassie. I love this top on you :) The pattern is so pretty and happy. So great to watch this today while things are getting better here. I found what I'm making for dinner tonight too! Thank you for these videos. They're great and give me such great ideas on days I need a push to actually cook something :)

[@thriftthick]

d'aww thank you!!! I'm so happy to know that these videos are helpful for you and that you enjoy them

[@l.l.storrie3851]

These meals are EVERYTHING!! Thanks so much for this, Cassie, I'm going to go grocery shopping this weekend and buy the ingredients for these meals!

[@mrsoliviatube]

It's very satisfying to already be eating while watching this 😂 Great recipes, Cassie! 👍🏻

[@xPinkCupcakex]

I don't know if you've tried it, but banana "nice" cream is my favorite dessert to make :) I take about 1 and 1/2 frozen small bananas, a little bit of almond milk, and a tablespoon of cocoa powder. It tastes almost exactly like chocolate ice cream. If you don't like chocolate flavored things you can sub cocoa powder with some frozen strawberries instead to make strawberry "nice" cream. YUM!

[@StinkyButton]

I've always thought it's funny that we all have "kitty" voices, a special voice we use only when we talk to cats. 😻

[@nuclearana]

TIP: when you use canned beans always rinse them very well, that way you don't get so gassy from them! :)

[@lc1371]

Do you warm them up at all before you eat them?

[@nuclearana]

If they're canned you don't need to, they've already been cooked. But, yeah I prefer to warm them up

[@lc1371]

whosurbuddha Ok thanks

[@taylerirl8287]

All of this looks so good, but so high calorie :( I find I can't eat high calorie things without feeling bad about them later. Sigh

[@LJx20]

Sandwich recommendation: my mum owns a cafe and created an amazing sandwich/panini you may enjoy! Pesto, sundried tomatoes mushroom and mozzarella! When it's toasted the cheese melts all the flavours together it's beautiful hope you try this one out even if you switch up the cheese or something 😘

[@beckyhopkins1372]

I love watching you cook. You could have a cooking channel easy.

[@amandatundel4159]

...well I can say for sure that this video has successfully made me want burritos tonight. Looked delicious. Also, cleaning out peppers...maybe I cheat when I clean mine out? I usually snap off the stem, then immediately cut the pepper in half. Then I can pretty much just pull out the top bit where the seeds are all at once. I'll give a quick rinse under water to dislodge any stray seeds and done.

[@judyvanderploeg2556]

Ahhh! Looks delicious. Today your video is getting me through a tornado warning. If the house is still standing after things pass over, I really want to try that sammie.

[@thriftthick]

oh my gosh I hope everything's okay!!! Stay safe

[@judyvanderploeg2556]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) dodged the tornado (barely), now just heavy rain w/ flash floods...Easy Peasy lol.

[@soozieque32]

I LOVE rice cakes with peanut butter and bananas. I drizzle honey on it too.

[@lc1371]

I don't think honey is plant based though (bees and all), but it does taste so good!!

[@xobeautycountstoo]

THIS LOOKS SO FREAKING GOOD IM IN THE PROCESS of being vegan and I'm trying to see the different varieties of meals I can put together, thank you so much!! so helpful!

[@xobeautycountstoo]

becoming *****

[@allthingssavvyy]

Skippy peanut butter tastes so good 😩unfortunately in my household, my dad is a nutritionist, and we are only allowed to have fat free organic peanut butter. Skippy is filled with a lot of unhealthy ingredients, a lot of sugar and fat. Yet it tastes so much better sadly ! :(

[@cassieszczepanski3884]

If you transition into eating less sugar overall the natural peanut butter starts to taste a lot better! Or maybe it was just me getting older.. haha

[@janetplanet73]

Cassie Szczepanski I prefer a more natural healthier peanut butter. When I eat regular peanut butter it seems so sugary to me. But I've compared the nutrients label in "natural" peanut butter versus say Skippy... And it is just as unhealthy maybe even unhealthier. So you just have to be really careful of which brand you choose. I used to just grab anything that says natural and now I'm a bit more careful

[@katiepierce1167]

Can I hire you to just cook for me all the time?!! Everything you make looks delicious.

[@michelenicole5566]

Best way to cut bell peppers. Hold the pepper upright and just cut a little ways away from the stem and all the way down and then do the same all the way round the pepper. Hope I'm making sense lol. You'll have the stem and seeds left together that way :)

[@miss.barboza8593]

Yassss! Galileo has made an appearance! Really missed seeing him! Loved this video! keep em coming! Much love from Texas! 💗💗💗💗

[@jessicaredmon6692]

I hated cutting peppers too! My friend showed me that you can cut the top AND bottom in that jabbing way, pull the top and voila! The center and seeds are gone!

[@bobbidazzler1343]

I've loved this wee series. I so wish I loved avocado but I just can't eat it. Your videos are so relaxing Cassie. Thank you. X

[@makeupplz]

Here's some yummy rice to try! Chop a tomato and onion (set aside) Brown your rice with an oil of your choice. (I normally do 1 to 2 cups of rice) For the liquids for your rice, mix one small can of tomato sauce with equal parts water and vegetable stock (you know, to equal the 2 to 1 rice to liquid ratio) add in tomatos and onions one table spoon of cumin one table spoon of minced garlic salt and pepper to taste stir and let cook! perfect for veggie tacos, burrito bowls, or just general consumption.

[@sarahirwin2703]

only thing I'd change is rinsing the beans first. helps prevent gas ;) besides that, this made me hungry!!

[@kayliemiller3318]

These videos are so wonderful and helpful. I'm sorry they generate so much negativity, but please keep making them. Love you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Abbyfosho1]

A hint for cleaning the peppers that my culinary arts teacher showed me! Use the spoon to scoop it all out instead of a knife. Once you cut it in half you can go in with the spoon and get all of the seeds out in one or two scoops instead of many many cuts!

[@loyf2757]

That sandwich !! Thanks for the ideas 😋 everything looks devine.

[@FinnLuvr]

I love these videos so much! Especially loved the burrito bowl. Will def be making two over the weekend :)

[@kesha.m]

OH, OH! Cassie maybe once it gets colder you can do something like testing out soup recipes and things on occasion? You could call it Cassies kitchen! Is it a score or a bore or heck just a chore. OH OH I'm also imagining a little kitty sticker grading system. One kitty sticker is eh needs work five is oh my god yum kitty cat approves. And reading that over makes me sound like a kid omg.

[@thriftthick]

LOL oh my gosh this adorable, thank you for the ideas!!!

[@kesha.m]

Thrift Thick You're so welcome Cassie!

[@veganbeautyaddict]

Yay plant based!!! this is amazing! I had no idea you were doing plant based! ❤️

[@Fazerella]

I was eating pretty well for a month or so and then fell waaaaayyy off the wagon. That sandwich you made though. My mouth watered.

[@Podoj]

Love these kinds of videos Cassie, that sandwich looks incredible! Totally agree about cutting peppers btw, hate it.

[@allheartandsong]

Looks so good I am going to try all of those recipes!:)

[@allysonwonderland8923]

Just a helpful tip : always wash your canned beans before u eat them it helps reduce the sodium and (most importantly for me hehe) it washes away the stuff that makes the beans gasey. Galileo will thank you later lol😂

[@thriftthick]

LOL thanks for letting me know, I had no idea!!!

[@allysonwonderland8923]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) no problem I actually saw it on another what I eat video and it changed my life. Makes such a difference!! Have a good night🤗😁

[@Ewel9]

Everything you make looks so delicious! I've been trying to make more vegetarian and/or vegan dishes lately and these videos really give me some much needed inspiration :)

[@thriftthick]

oh good, I'm so glad to hear that!! :D

[@JmeJinxx]

That sandwich looks AMAZINGGGG & yes to plantain chips!

[@dreanatalie]

that burrito bowl looks so tasty 😩 definitely making that soon, thanks for the idea!

[@kinthemountains]

That dinner you made looks sooooo good I'm like drooling over here

[@GeekyChicChannel]

I have been eating avocado toast SO much. I love love love it!

[@tokyorosa]

Lots of good ideas in this video. That sandwich looks so yummy! I never think to put sun-dried tomatoes on sandwiches, but I think I'm going to have to get a jar now. Please be careful with storing cooked rice for longer than a day or so. It is particularly susceptible to the growth of bacteria that can cause food poisoning.

[@chloeelizabeth1137]

Hey Cassie! Love you and your kitty and have an amazing week!! 😘😝

[@SamanthaGoertz]

If you cut into the pepper and all the way around the stem, you should just be able to pull the stem (and most of the seeds!) up and out :)

[@stephaniemorton1063]

I never thought about adding pesto to a sandwhich. Thank you for sharing Cassie, I can't wait to make a sandwhich now ; )

[@thriftthick]

lol well I hope you like it! I love pesto on any kind of bread haha ;)

[@The_captain0]

Fun Fact: "yellow' Onions are called Brown onions in Australia. AND "Peppers'" are known as capsicum. Peanut butter and banana is my fave combo! don't eat it very often since I started eating low carb high fat... but SOOOOO good!

[@heatherforest2723]

Please make more of these videos! Also that burrito bowl is calling my name 👌🏻

[@taybreef5452]

Always down for some new recipe ideas. Great video!!

[@CourtneyKBeauty]

Omg that burrito bowl made me sooo hungry! These all look delicious, though! Thanks for sharing, Cassie :)

[@beautybeyond9420]

That dinner looks sooooo good and right up my street

[@Mina-pq3rm]

That sandwich looks amazing. Great recipe ideas :)

[@thriftthick]

thank you so much, I hope you try it out! :D

[@Mina-pq3rm]

Girl you know I will and tag you in my obligatory instagram post about!

[@gnjemmy]

There are some hacks for chopping peppers that you can find if you google search :) one I like is to chop the top and bottom off of the pepper and stand it up, then cut around the middle part and pull it out with little to no loose seeds.

[@TheTheaqsa123]

Plz do a tattoo tag where you show us your tattoos and tell us the meaning of them

[@yurig6010]

I really enjoyed this video! I am not vegan, but i have been trying to eat less meat. I luved the meatless burrito bowl idea. Thanks for the video, please keep making more of these.
