a week of *realistic* vegan eats but broke budgeting recessioncore edition 

RECESSIONCORE 😭😭😭

Me assuming a noodle board was the equivalent of a charcuterie board for pasta

I'm not even vegan and I love your content. I like the contemplative way you talk and your videos feel so cozy. Plus it's always good to get some more plant based meal ideas. =)

"Unprofessional" cooking videos are my preferred videos honestly. I click off videos where everything looks staged and everything's portioned out in tiny glass bowls etc...because real people don't cook like that. We use leftover jars and such. So please keep being "unprofessional"! I love your cooking videos, I feel inspired by your creativity. :) edit: OREO SOUP. That is such a big brain move...definitely trying that recipe hahaha

So good seeing someone who eats the way I do! As a student who is super passionate about veganism that is on a budget and lives in a country that has very specific seasons for produce, it can be hard to watch all the raw vegans eating fresh fruit for every meal or the ones who eat all fancy substitutes that I can afford to eat maybe once a week. Please keep doing what you’re doing, I’m definitely watching!

White beans are dope as a creamy sauce, like alfredo. Blend them up with milk and stuff. Can use it to creamify soups too.

the title is such a mood but this is genuinely so helpful. This is a great inspiration for young people navigating their lives in this ✨economy✨

emily defensively saying her sweatshirts get washed feels very relatable to me

Your freezing tips have honestly saved me so much money, you are the queen of budget friendly yummy meals !!

I was embarrassingly old when I realized that I don’t like eating breakfast. I’m not usually hungry in the morning, and eating that early upsets my stomach. It’s refreshing to hear other people saying you don’t have to stuff yourself in the morning if you don’t feel like it lol

It’s always a delight to see your videos. Simple, relaxing and delicious. It heals my soul

Your videos are always so cosy to watch! I dont even live in the us so many of the things you buy arent avaiable to me, but i still watch almost every video! U keep me company on my counter while i Cook my own dinners 💕

i've been watching your what i eat in a week videos since i was in high school 😭 they r so comforting every time i love how realistic it is :')

This broke budgeting food looks ✨ sensational ✨

i hardly knew how to cook anything a few years ago! having videos like yours really helped my transition into adulthood during covid. they have given me a lot of inspiration & helped me find my own personal style of cooking. thanks and keep it up :)

When you said „have you heard about noodle boards?“ I first heard „have you heard about newborns?“ and I was really confused for a second 😅

This is soooo calming and *realistic* I’ve been having anxiety about money feeling weird about not wanting to go to the store but this vid really inspires me to use what I have. I loved this vid :)

Listening to Emily while I study for school is the only thing keeping me from going insane 😖

The thumbnail with the boba in the ice cube tray is what drew me to your video and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole video ❤ love your humor and chill vibes🤗 the recipes look great too! I’m totally going to try the bulk boba hack tomorrow !

YAY! Best time of the week is when you post!! 🫶🏻 also I LOVE your hair! 🥰

yes! i’ve been wanting to try those chocolate oatly bars! didn’t know they had a shell. now i’m sold. thank you 💛

You are a whole ass vibe, and I’m into all of it!!! 🌱💜 I just need to give your link to everyone who struggles finding their groove in the kitchen or feels like it’s just too hard and orders out (and wastes every last penny). You illustrate how to throw tasty things together EASILY. I’m solid in the kitchen, but I can imagine how your channel has really helped so many people grow. Good work, Emily!!!!!! A+

First video of yours that I'm seeing and I love it! Love watching how people use up what they have to save on groceries, especially if it's vegan related. And- you have a great sense of humor!

I love this recessioncore themed video. I have such a full pantry and freezer but am always tempted to still go grocery shopping. I need to be inspired by you to just eat what I have.

Love your content so much that I even watch the ads 😭 Also homage plant milk especially oat milk comes in clutch for saving money

Always love these videos full of meal & snack inspo and all these creative ways to use up leftovers. And your sauce creations are so good too.

The fact that you are willing to make and share the concept of Oreo soup..... This is why I like this channel

your content is so comforting!!

I always like your videos. The ‘what I eat in a week’ are always good ones…

Your videos make me so happy lol I love your content and when you post it totally makes my day!!! I love watching your videos when I’m heading to bed just like chill vibes all around 😂you are def apart of mine and my kids bedtime routine. ❤

I read the title as "renaissancecore" at first but then realized 💀 bless u n your videos they bring me great joy and peace

I love watching your videos and how creative you are with making food. I always get inspiration from you.

Every morning I wake up and check youtube to see if I'll have one of your videos to watch while I eat breakfast - best breakfast of the week!

Freezing boba = genuis! Grocery Outlet is *so* good. First time seeing your channel and love it!

Love budget friendly meals👍🏼

You give me so many ideas and I love it. I get so jaded for ideas so thank you for sharing ! ❤

emily!!! I have watched you for years but never comment but I must!! I have a noodle board (I had no idea it had a name) and its the best thing ever. I know a woodworking guy and they helped make one fit to my stove dimensions so it fit the best on my counter. I normally just put it on my kitchen table when I would cook and then clean the stove and put it back on pretty much immediately (or put the finished food on the table if we were serving directly from the pan). It never really felt like it was in the way but you could totally let it just hang out wherever

This is so relaxing and chaotic and I love it!

Love ur energy omg

I'm not even vegan but this was so enjoyable to watch. Very creative and chill. You made some *delicious* looking stuff!

I was vegan back in highschool for 1.5 years and watching your videos makes me want to get back into it!!!

Yes 😊 just was watching some old videos during breakfast and thought about a new one. And here it is ❤🎉

If you end up doing the pasta board, you could always add handles and use a command hook to hang it on your wall or even on the back of your pantry door when you are using the stovetop!!

This is what cooking is all about! I love how you are using up everything!!!! Genius 🎉

yay i love when you upload!

when you said noodle board i thought of the butter board trend and got nervous

I recently moved and it helped me realize how much food I have in my cabinet so I'm also trying to use what I have lol. The frozen boba is a really good idea

New follower here ~ I LOVE your videos! I'm recently obsessed with muesli and thought, since you love oats, you should give it a try! It's a great alternative to warm oats during the summer months! Take care Emily!

LETS GOOO - needed this

The frozen boba is single handedly the most genius thing I’ve ever witnessed on the Internet

these videos are so helpful for a budgeting queen like myself, it’s even inspired me to start eating less meat!!!

Omg your humour is just food for my soul 🤌🫶

one of the BEST channels on youtube

i’m so excited to watch this video 🥰 also: your haircut suits you so well!! :)

my comfort youtuber! i love your videos

I think this is the most realistic what I eat in a week video I have seen🙊 please keep being real. I really dislike these kind of videos where you can tell that it is just fake. You just gained yourself a new follower 🥰

I love that your content has lore now 😆💚💚

Love your content ! x

The cup at 12:21 is goooorgeous! Also love your videos, emily!

that ending was too funny - the slow circle to black - ur a comedy genius

love these videos! it's a bit weird that we have a LOT of oatly products where I live but I have never seen those ice cream bars literally anywhere edit: forgot to say I really love your freezing tips and hacks, especially the boba one in this vid!

That's so true what you said about different ways of eating oats can impact the taste! I remember I didn't like oatmealish stuff for a long time but just exploring and trying new things with them made me love them! Also that taco soup with hash brown added sounds soooo good! You eat the same kind of stuff I like to eat and I'm not vegan (yet) !

Made my DAY! 🤩

Ever since I learned how easy it is to make the brown sugar shaken espresso at home, I have been making it religiously and saving so much money ❤

thanks for inspiring me to clear out my food cupboard

I love this so much I hate waste and I love learning to use up everything today I had a orange and dried the peel and made it into a powder to have on top my yoghurt and orange tea

Honestly love these videos I want to do a pantry challenge myself

Go to the Dollar tree and get burner covers that's what I do and then you're able to use the stove to put stuff on because the burners are covered an no crumbs fall in 👌😊

Please more of these!

I just lean my noodle board ( had never heard it referred to like that before, fun! ) against the wall behind the stove while in use. Mine is an induction stove so there's a good bit of space between the actual cooking surface and the wall.

everything looked so good but man, those drinks!!!😮‍💨

I love this there’s some pretty cool ideas In here

i needed this. Surprisingly during the cost of living crisis, vegan stuff isnt as expensive as meat and all the other stuff

this is so inspiring

your kitchen is so beautiful

Try the made good vanilla squares. Not a rice crispy treat but similar idea and they are incredible

this was awesomeeeeeee. thanks :D

I didn’t like oats for a long time. But adding stuff to oatmeal helped me. Now I love them. I add vegan sausage, yogurt and berries. Weird but delish!

Those rice crispy treats are honestly to die for. They are so… dare I say. DELICIOUS. Great content btw :D

If anyone out there doesn't like oatmeal, try soaking it before you cook it (or eat it cold) it helps break it down to be more digestible and delicious imo.

I’ve put cacao nibs in homemade granola before to use them up and it was pretty good! They sort of melt more in with the honey and oil of the granola so it’s a bit more like real chocolate lol

OMG I HAVENT SEEN YOUR CHANNEL IN FOREVER

For the black tea - the caffeine and the tannins in the tea bond when tea is put in the fridge or iced after being brewed at a hot hot temp! Might be avoidable if you let it get to room temp before putting in the fridge but it's normal :)

Soy milk in matcha is so good too!! With CINNAMON

This voiceover is unparalleled

Just found your channel I love you!

You’re so talented and gifted girly! 💚 You know what your taste buds like and you see what you have available to make and yet some how you make it look delicious to the point I’ll so eat at your restaurant if you had all this. 😩✨ Bonus it’s vegan and healthy well compared to not healthy foods that’s not vegan. Using lots of sugar or processed food to make it taste/look delicious

“recessioncore” lmfaooo yoooo immediate subscribe

My grandmother has the metal version of a noodleboard! I guess they aren't on newer appliances but it's attached to the top of the stove and it just folds up when you want to use it! Maybe you could lean one in between the oven and the microwave?

I love your channel.

I love every time you’re making oatmeal you aggressively say “salt” when you mention what you’re adding.

If you can find them, the Lindt Classic Recipe Oatmilk bars are awesome! Our Walmart doesn’t have the Sam’s Choice ones… 😕

love me some spherical grains

It all looks delicious

You should be able to get these metal covers for your burners. I have seen them at places like Walmart, I bet Amazon has them. That would solve your issue with crumbs and drips getting on your burners. I use my stove as counter space too, small kitchen as well. I like the looks of the noodle board, but like you where do you put it, lol.

I love the vibes of your vlog

If you got a noodle board with a little loop attached to it you could put a pretty hook on your kitchen accent wall and hang it there while you're using the stove

The reason tea turns cloudy when it cools/gets refrigerated is because the tannins and the caffeine molecules are bonding with each other at low temps! The lower temperature makes it easier for the molecules to interact since they’re moving a lot slower and they can then form attractions :) if you want to stop it becoming cloudy (there’s nothing bad about it, just for aesthetic reasons) you can add some lemon to the tea when it’s brewed and the acid will make the tannins less soluble which means they’ll interact less with the caffeine when it cools!

Oreo soup??? Obsessed

Didnt know about noodle boards. Ill have to look into it. It would be good for my place. I just got burner covers. For elements I dont use.(my oven is kind crappy 😂)
