What I Eat in a Week | vegan dinner recipes

[@LilNinja787]

to whoever is reading this remember that life is not as serious as we have been conditioned to make it seem. Nothing really matters in this existence besides being present, happy, and spreading kindness. Whatever it is that is stressing you out in this current moment, set it aside as you take a deep breath. Go for a walk and look up at the sky. See how endless this universe is and realize that we are here to just B E . Everything else that we stress out about has just been created by us humans. Our point in existence is to just be here, and be happy. Nothing else. Have an amazing day.

wow yes THANK YOU. this can be so hard to remember sometimes but there is nothing more true

[@oliviatietz7277]

Thank you!!! This was much needed

[@LilNinja787]

@@afterspell aw i am so happy you can relate to this! I know it is SO easy to forget because society is always trying to make you worry about so many things that truly do not matter!!

Thank you for the beautiful reminder 💕 Also our names are very similar which I thought was a fun coincidence

"Constantly restricting myself was making me want foods that I didn't actually even want because I thought that I couldn't have them." - Wow, I think I needed to hear that. Thank you for sharing your journey and reminding us to honor how our bodies feel over how they look!🙌🏾

[@sarahkathken]

your vibes are just the MOST calming and beautiful

[@jeanninepietersen8892]

Yeah her vibe is

[@Terra.Chifilyonova]

‘I don’t even know how much I weight but I am trying to be kind to myself’ that’s the vibe 💛

[@semt9]

Intuitive eating is such a journey, I find i go through periods where it's effortless and periods where I have to work harder at it, because the fluctuations of my body reveal things i've internalised each time. It's so worthwhile working through it

[@Effy2510fc]

it's so cute how you can tell she smiles whenever she says "cilantro"

[@derekwong4160]

aww. and I hate cilantro

[@katerichardson3674]

Everytime I watch one of your videos I feel re-aligned with myself. It's like I forget to check in from time to time. I just really appreciate the effect of your videos for me personally. Thank you Hitomi for being so open and vulnerable.

[@ciaraism]

I don't even have a mirror in my room anymore because I would stand and pick myself apart to the point where I would call in sick to work, wouldn't show up for uni, refused to hang out with friends, etc. I'm thankful for you, and the content that you put out into the world

[@nicoleonfeels]

I literally hugged myself, got goosebumps because I felt so much love through this video. Thank you

[@isabellasmith3536]

that’s so beautiful and thank you for sharing

[@nicoleonfeels]

Isabella Smith absolutely!

[@MK-oz3pd]

The violife shredded mozarella cheese might actually be the cheese you're looking for omg! It melts and it looks amazing on pizza. It's also the best tasting vegan cheese imo

[@olivia.anelise]

they make THE BEST vegan cheese!!

[@sarahbishop6717]

I went to a pizzeria that uses violife and the chef gave me a rlly good tip!! He said if you mix the cheese with a little olive oil before you cook it, it'll melt even better

[@astridjaye6224]

I agree it’s the best one I have although it doesn’t agree that well with my sensitive stomach but mine of them really do, def tasty

[@camilabion6577]

I agree with feeling like begin a perfectionist is what makes us productive and improved but at the same time is what makes us lowkey miserable. Its so hard to give up on that mentality. On another note the phrase "Thank you for begin so courageous and doing this whole human thing" is the best thing a heard this week :)

[@CamayCannon]

You've made some salad combos that I would have never thought of! The carrot ginger dressing and even mashing the avocado into the actual salad greens! Amazing

[@kawaiikace]

I love that you always chat about healthy relationships with food and our bodies in every "what I eat" video ((: I learn something new or get reminded of wonderful ways to love myself better every time

[@bonniepaora8664]

I agree I think it's such an important and beautiful thing to do and I wish more people would have a chat at the end of their what they eat videos to do a little mental health or even just reality check and make it clear that there is no "right way to eat" and regardless of what you may see through the screen, the real world is a loooooooot wider and more varied. I think people these days are also ashamed to admit when they do eat junk food or microwave meals because there's this hierarchy of what I eat videos where all the popular ones are vegan or healthy or home cooked every single meal or just generally these are what these KZbinRS eat in a day, people who realistically can stay home and cook their meals or can afford to buy the healthiest and most organic produce or can afford to post mate the healthiest meals from their favourite five star restaurant every day. Like most of us are grocery shopping on some level of a budget and don't have the time or money to have three healthy home cooked meals a day and only eat home baked cookies two to three times a week. It's nice to see someone who yes generally tries to share healthy and vegan meals, but actually has a reality check at the end of each video and discusses not only the types of food they're eating or not eating and why, but also their personal relationship with food and how it is continuing to grow and change. People don't even acknowledge this stuff enough, let alone talk about it, so I totally agree and am always stoked to see Hitomi talk about it in her food related videos. I think it's very important and very respectable and responsible as an influencer

[@bonniepaora8664]

I'm infatuated with your videos and your whole vibe and energy. You inspire me to eat real food instead of junk al the time, and I can't cook but you inspire me to try and make me feel like it's not that hard and I actually can do it if I out the effort in. Thank you for everything you post Hitomi, you may not realise but you really are out here making a difference in people's lives

[@Danteax]

Your videos have helped me realize how much I struggle with body dysmorphia myself. You've made me want to be kinder to myself, and that is such a meaningful gift

[@HereIsTabi]

you're the only creator that I can watch for their food videos because I know how much you truly cherish the food that goes into your body

[@victoriarowe1306]

I worked at a pizza pub and the vegan cheese they used was TEESE. It wasn’t the most stringy, but it melted pretty well! I always recommended adding on veggies that cook out water (tomatoes, bell peps, banana peps etc) with our vegan cheese because it can be kind of dry (if that makes since?) and “watery” veggies that make the pizza wet made it better lol. Love the food vids, so much inspo ✨✨

[@MadZilla33]

Man I'm overwhelmed with the variety of foods you make im going to have to watch this several times write it down get the ingredients and watch the video again to make it with many pauses and rewinds lol. Thanks for the ideas.

[@wendyferguson6575]

Same! I feel like all these recipes are so creative and great for a change of pace in routine!

[@emilychen328]

i've been noticing so much abundance in my food recently and i guess my noticing manifested more! i tried your carrot dressing today in my salad and it was lovely 😭thank you for bringing more joyful food into my life!

[@gigiviktoria]

my soul glows when you upload, Hitomi 🌺 thank you

[@mochi8454]

The easiest way to cook rice - rinse your rice of choice (which removes the surface starch from the rice grains) - after filling your pan with water put your index finger in the water (on the surface of the rice). The water must come to the first crease of your finger - to prevent foaming, leave the lid open until the majority of the water has been soaked up/evaporated. Now you can cover the lid - check a few minutes later with a knife. If there isn’t any rice or excess water on the knife you have successfully made rice. ✨I hope this helped a bit✨

[@lily_west_]

I love that you used some ingredients in multiple ways, so realistic and conscious around food waste xx

[@keitumetselekone604]

"Thank you for being so courageous and doing this whole human thing" I felt that. Thank you for sharing your energy.

[@socialrose]

Ive been watching your videos for a few months now and this one definitely got to me on an emotional level. I agree so much with what you say and appreciate the amazing energy you give out to all of us who watch ❤

i truly consider watching your videos as self care

[@Hazardz09]

Im exciting to make this for myself all week thanks for the inspo

I always enjoy your videos Hitomi! We're very much on the same wavelength currently when it comes to diet and body standards. Whether male or female, i'm finding the journey is the same, and I wish you the best possible outcome. Namaste 🙏

[@ChelszXx1]

Your little talk about appearance and self-love sounds like exactly the same level as I am on my journey. Just accepting my body as it is. Loving my body as it is. And eat food that makes me feel good 💛🌿 much love and joy send to you, Hitomi

[@justgigi9545]

Definitely gonna try these recipes. I was able to save and order home equipment like a yoga mat, kettle bells, resistance bands, and a stepper, to start my weight loss journey. Wish me luck ✌️✌️

[@beck340]

Have been struggling so bad with body image and deciding how much to eat depending of how much I ate a day before... my anxiety is on point and just really want to feel safe in this body... and stop hating it. Is calms me down watch this video and hearing your kind words

[@ChelseaPutnam]

I always love your food videos:) so relaxing and inspiring. It is so important to eat intuitively and listen to what your body is asking for. The food is this video is such a beautiful form of nourishment.

[@sakurakian1876]

Haven't watched the video yet but I already know that I will feel a lot better (since I had a rough day) when I am done thanks to your calming and kind nature. Thank you, Hitomi

[@RoboKitty.808]

Daiya ranch dressing is the GOAT when you add in a good shake of garlic & onion powder. I'd say it hits pretty close to regular ranch

[@shelbyrayne5893]

I love the follow your heart vegan ranch and bleu cheese! Even if you're not a fan of bleu cheese, I highly recommend, it's way better and less pungent haha

[@hollywhite5758]

[@emmaaustin8591]

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I immediately subscribed. I love how these meals are easy but unique!

[@Witney.]

i've been puffing on my herb since the beginning of this video and I'm just now realising (9 minutes in) that your voice is making this moment so beautiful... your voice is so soothing.. and this video is so beautiful man im so happy that your relationship with food and yourself is so honest 🔮🙌🌱

[@Justparinaaaz]

Hitomi , I love the way you are , when i see your video it has sooooo much positive feeling , god bless you 🍃

[@JustPsalmss]

Im most definitely going to have to implement the first recipe into my diet . Love love the colorful pallet . I tend to make more bigger vegan meals , eggplant Parmesan, chickpea sandwiches , pecan pie . But yours are perfect for after my training sessions

[@NovaBeau]

Vegan cheese hack! I love Miyoko's mozzarella, but it is quite soft and hard to divide up on a pizza unless you want more of the traditional margherita style pizza. I'd recommend freezing it and then grating it frozen over a 'za before your bake; it's easier to handle and layer that way. It's tangy and relatively melty and super yummy!

[@Omqcindy123]

Thank you Queen , you’re videos are always so informative and helpful,. You’re such a light , thank you Hitomi 🙏🏾💖

[@angelikabatwoman]

Hey hitomi! I just watched some of your vids where you mention your troubles in relationships and I wanted to let you know that it resonated with me very much. There is a theory about attachment trauma, if you look it up on the internet you will find a lot of beautiful information that can shine a light on why we feel how we feel in relationships and why it gives us such panic and the feeling we're gonna burst into million pieces. This information helped me so much to heal with the help of my wonderful boyfriend, to learn not to run away and to accept the love of someone else. I needed to be on my own before that and do my own work and after that heal with help because attachment trauma happens in intetaction so you can only heal it in interaction. Maybe you know all of this already but I just wanted to put it out there, this is my favorite psychological topic ever because I think this knowledge can change the world...

[@Wundernuss]

I swear your recipes are AMAZZZZINNNNG & so so simple!

I like the violife cheese on my tacos. They have a colby jack one that's really good. I have the mozzarella that I'm still experimenting with. But when I made the vegan nachos it was amazing with the colby. It had that sharp taste to it. Yummy.

A good option for making the cauliflower wings gluten free is to use rice flour or almond flour. Also using corn tortillas instead of the regular flour tortillas! :]

[@ine8179]

the way you say 'cilantro' is amazing

[@Carolineconnected]

Rinsing the rice helps removing excess dirt and starch from the rice. In the end, escpecially the starch can make the rice really sticky and mushy.

[@oh_itsjenna]

Loved this video, so many good ideas to incorporate into my lil routine! 🙏🏼 one suggestion tho - I feel like in the voiceover you were kind of rushing to tell us what was in everything. Maybe just freeze the screen on all the ingredients and annotate how much you used of each ingredient so you don’t have to say it all at once? (Or throw the details in the description!) Anyway thank you for sharing and I’m excited to try!! 💖

[@krisztasogor8855]

I honestly feel so calm and peaceful when I watch your videos. You are so inspiring to me and I feel like the things that you're talking about are so accurate for me (for example I had a couple day streak of binge eating and I truly felt shitty but then I came across your last video and this one and all I have to say that I am more than better now and I am truly thankful🙏). I also have a question: does your hair represent spiritual evolving and meaning and do you work with it (I'm referring to our hair being an antenna and representing spiritual practices). I'd be really interested in a video about your hair/nails/skin/whole body in your spirituality and what do they represent to you. Also another thing that really caught my eye is the menstrual cycle and the different stages representing different aspects of our lives. I will be definitely researching this topic but I would really enjoy to listen to your point of view, your beliefs and experiences on this topic.

[@moeblackx]

hey hitomi i totally love your videos i think a comment i’d like to reply to is when you said “people are getting augmentations for body types that are going to be out of style in a couple years” i think that statement is unintentionally playing into societal standards of beauty because minority women (especially black women) looked like this way before these augmentations were trendy. saying this body type will go out of trend is playing into the idea that this body type hasn’t been around for ever and erases the gentrification of non-eurocentric bodies!! love you - i hope this doesn’t come across rude at all just something i thought i’d share bc i used to feel the same way about my flat ass 🤣
