Yes please! Part 2 of Gilmore Girls inspired dinners!!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Ooooo I like the idea of dinners! So many ideas are coming to mind 🤔 🤗

@lesliemartin4537 Год назад

Nachos look great. Agree, Gilmore girls part 2 would be a lot of fun. Have a great week and thanks for all the great recipes and ideas. I like your formula for satiety, particularly important when vegan. I try to live by “eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. “

@NikkiVegan Год назад

I love that motto too! 😊😊 Such a simple but important thing to remember. And I'm so glad you liked this formula. It's really helped me a lot when making vegan meals and I think it's why I've been able to be a happy, healthy vegan for so many years! GG pt 2 coming soon! Thanks for letting me know you'd like to see that ❤️ Hope you have a great day Leslie!

@juchidaf Год назад

I love the cereal tip! Cereal by itself has sort of a "bad reputatation" for high sugar content and low satiety but if you power it up with seeds, nuts and fruit it makes a great breakfast. They key is to choose a cereal with good ingredients. Thanks for sharing!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Exactly! I avoided it for years because I thought it was "empty calories" but I no longer believe in that term. I think it plays into the idea that some foods are "good" and some are "bad" and I try to avoid that diet culture mindset. Instead, like you said, I think it's much more important to focus on eating real food and just create balanced meals with simple ingredients. Cereal bowls like the ones you described can be so nourishing and satisfying when prepared this way and I'm glad because I love cereal lol Glad you can relate to this 😊😊 Hope you have a great Sunday!

@phillippinter7518 Год назад

Almost all whole grain cereal is actually very high in fiber and high in protein usually roughly 15% protien and 12g of fiber per 100g Also I'd like to mention that Catalina crunch is the most processed cereal I've ever read the ingredients on almost all the ingredients are highly processed While cereals like cinnamon toast crunch, frosted flakes, lucky charms, cheerios ... all have the first ingredient as a whole grain . Not the best breakfast foods but considering they are often considered "processed junk"

@LoveHardFightHard Год назад

I've been subscribed to you for years and I love all your vids and your editing!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Aw thank you so much! Editing takes the longest and it's one of my favorite parts so I'm really happy that you noticed 😊😊 Thanks for letting me know. Heads up, it's not showing that you're subscribed but maybe you got un-subscirbed somehow. That randomly happens sometimes, no idea why! But it's free to sub so just hit the red button under the video to make sure my videos pop up when I post new ones 🤗 Hope you have a great Sunday and a happy week ahead ❤️

I don't enjoy cold cereal, but I absolutely love almond butter on my oatmeal! 😋

@Rmayhem209 Год назад

I just picked up some Catalina Crunch at Walmart last night for the first time, really enjoyed the cinnamon flavor. Have a great week Nikki!

@blackeyedsue21 Год назад

Yes! Gilmore Girls part 2 please!

@missragsdale Год назад

Your egg roll in a bowl version is such a lifesaver for work lunches!

@Ella.L. Год назад

I can't say enough HOW MUCH I appreciate your videos, Nikki! All your meals always look SO beautiful, colorful, cozy and delicious (I love that you make sure that the recipes are nutritionally well-balanced as well)! And the overall production of your videos is amazing, too; you're so talented! And YES, to another Gilmore Girls recipe video; really enjoyed that one (it's one of my go-to comfort shows)! Much love to you! 😊❤️

@bridgette712 Год назад

GilMORE Girls recipes please- can never get enough!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Good to know! Thanks Bridgette! Definitely making more soon ☺️☺️

@annaliese724 Год назад

I know I'm a long-time viewer of your videos because I've made a version of all of these meals at some point. 😆 I was obsessed with the loaded cereal last summer. Like, I ate it for at least 2 meals a day for a whole month 😂

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Aw that makes me so happy!! Thank you Annaliese 💕💕 so happy you e enjoyed my recipes over the years and seriously, same about the cereal bowls! I get so hooked on them lol glad you can relate

@laurenzieger9617 Год назад

Yes to a part 2 of eating like the Gilmore girls!!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Yay! Thanks Lauren! Happy to hear you'd like that 😊😊

@JohannaZee Год назад

I'm pretty excited to try the lentils and rice!

@janetsimon2445 Год назад

Nachos look amazing! Thanks for sharing!

@vannesshaable Год назад

I love the look of the second recipe and I’ll try it this week. Yes to the Gilmore girls part 2 😊

@georginaburgess Год назад

So good!

@Pinupred21 Год назад

Been dying to try that cereal but it’s really expensive 😭 thank you for the discount!!

@shellideckert4735 Год назад

Yum! I can’t really choose but the nachos are what I might try first 🎉 thanks!

@loriwilliams2167 Год назад

That cereal is beautiful 😍

@haleymac994 Год назад

Omg Nikki! I LOVE that you partnered with Catalina Crunch! I use these cereals for so much more than just eating with milk! The dark chocolate one can be made into high protein “puppy chow” (aka muddy buddies)

@davidthescottishvegan Год назад

Love 🥰 a good lentil dahl Nicole and thanks for the other recipes too. Another awesome video and always look forward to your video's.

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Thanks David! I really appreciate it 😊😊 I hope you're having a lovely Sunday in the UK! ✨

@dawnmorants4180 Год назад

Yes please! Part two, Love Gilmore!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Yay! Glad to know you like that idea! I'lll definitely make another one, I have so many ideas for it 🤗

@VeganonaBudget Год назад

These meal ideas are so helpful for anyone looking to eat healthier on a vegan diet. The recipes look delicious and are packed with nutrients to keep you feeling your best. Plus, they're perfect for meal prep so you can save time and money during the week. Thanks for sharing!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Thank you! That's so nice of you to say 😊😊 I agree, meal prepping has so many benefits and these recipes really are staples for me. Hope you enjoy!

@suzannemccabe386 Год назад

I am a huge potato lover so I am going to make the potato nachos recipe, thanks😁

@NikkiVegan Год назад

I am too! Potatoes are the best 😊😊 I hope you enjoy this recipe! I make it all the time in so many different ways

@sw9868 Год назад

Great meals, Nicole. These are on my rotation as well. Can you advise me about this? I'm so discouraged. Before I went vegan, I ate low carb/high protein (meat) meals. It really kept me at a nice weight. Now that I'm vegan, I have gained 12 very unwanted pounds. I eat whole foods...all veggies, legumes, fruit, whole grains, nuts and seeds. I feel good, but I'm very disappointed by the weight gain. When I cut back carbs in my diet, I'm not satiated. Also, I don't go overboard on the nuts either. Am I the only vegan who struggles with this?

@karengodbold3620 Год назад

Love this what you eat. I have some Red lentils. Now you have showed me how I can make a meal. So Thankful!😊

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Perfect! I hope you enjoy this recipe! It's so nourishing and makes me feel great, so I hope it does the same for you 😊😊 Happy cooking!

@MrRKWRIGHT Год назад

Good Sunday morning Nikki. Those plant based meals look absolutely delicious. I do believe my favorite items are those bags of nostalgic Catalina Crunch. - and those homemade nachos look fantastic. 😊

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Thanks Richard! Yes those cereals have been my go-to snack recently 😊😊 And nachos are one of my all time favs! Hope you enjoy if you make these at home!

@MrRKWRIGHT Год назад

@@NikkiVegan Of course I will Nikki. Those snacks are great for eating at home or on the go, and homemade nachos are so much better than store-bought 😊😊

@trishacarlson4122 Год назад

Those nachos though! :D

@melrox8809 Год назад

All the recipes look so good. I'm craving Mac and cheese, I think I'll try that first.

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Thanks Mel! I love that mac and cheese recipe! The trick is to make sure you cook all of the moisture out of the mushrooms before adding the crumbled tempeh bacon to the pan. That way it will crisp up and become like bacon bits 😊😊 Hope you enjoy!

@melrox8809 Год назад

@@NikkiVegan thank you for the tips. Have nice Sunday 😊

@beccogiallo Год назад

Your recipes look great, but please note that nutritional yeast provides protein and certain B vitamins, but it does not provide B12 unless it indicates that it is "fortified".

@lp7931 Год назад

Gilmore girls part 2 please! 💛 Any alternatives for the curry spices with the lentils?

@MonicaAndLulu Год назад

I like using turmeric ginger and garlic when I don’t have a curry spice mix on hand!

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Hey 😊😊 Here's some of my favorite lentil recipes to try: Lentil Meatball Subs nikkivegan.com/the-best-lentil-meatball-subs/ "Beef" and Pickle Tacos nikkivegan.com/vegan-beef-and-pickle-tacos/ Nourish Bowls: nikkivegan.com/rice-and-lentil-nourish-bowls/ Veggie Burgers nikkivegan.com/beet-and-walnut-veggie-burgers/ Red Lentil Tofu nikkivegan.com/red-lentil-tofu/ Just make sure you're using the right color lentils for recipes because some are split (like red) and some aren't (like brown) Red are great for dal and curry because they're cook down and get creamy but for other recipes, you want to use a whole lentil so it holds it's shape and doesn't get mushy 👩🏻‍🍳 Hope you enjoy!

@lp7931 Год назад

@@NikkiVegan the beef and pickle tacos look so interesting! Added to my meal plan for the week!

@mikehaldoupis8857 Год назад

Those nachos look amazing! I’m a Violife fanboy; my favorite vegan cheese. What brand of sour cream to you use?

@AnnaHans88 Год назад

Hi! Do you rinse your lentils? Or what are your thoughts on that?

@NikkiVegan Год назад

I put them in a sieve or colander and rinse them under the sink. Gets rid of any debris ❤️❤️

@MsBeckly Год назад

All of these recipes look delicious as always! Thank you for another great video! ❤. Please consider joining the boycott against Amy’s; I understand some folks don’t have access to many options but as vegans in Los Angeles we can certainly support other brands. Thank you for your consideration!

@Ella.L. Год назад

Why? What's wrong with that brand?

@MsBeckly Год назад

@@Ella.L. Dangerous working conditions for their factory employees, and union-busting and a factory closure after the conditions were reported. I had supported Amy’s since the mid 90s but stopped buying their products when this came to light. There’s plenty of articles and info online

@fitmomma1966 Год назад

Do you think the lentil meal would be good if you omitted the curry? (Don’t like!)

@flow4458 Год назад

Idk...not adding sugar but stevia and calling it 'sugar-free' is like adding tomato and calling it 'fruit-free'. Also, nooch doesn't contain absorbable B12, guys, don't lower your B12-pill intake just because you eat nooch.

@NikkiVegan Год назад

Oh yeah I always take my multi vitamin which has b-12! So important, especially since some days I'm eating b-12 fortified foods and some days I'm not so taking the multi everyday covers my bases 😊😊
