Love your ability to wing it with what's in the pantry and fridge. Regarding the processed food, while not ideal, it helps when I really don't want to cook. And if one is an ethical vegan, it is better to have processed foods occasionally. I did my grocery shopping yesterday and bought organic sour cream because I just can't get homemade vegan sour cream right. I bought Kite Hill vegan sour cream the week before and yuck. So if the real stuff makes me enjoy a meal, I guess I'll do it. I do struggle with that decision though because I'd really like to be fully plant based. I grew up on Guam and now live in Florida so I hear you on those 90 degree plus temperatures.
Loved this video ! I often open my fridge and wonder how I can use all the ingredients up! Please do more like these :) Also, I love your openness and transparency on your “diet” and lifestyle. I personally find putting all these labels on ourselves can make life too complicated and stressful. In my own experience having an “All or nothing” attitude was toxic for me. I set a goal for myself and decided that for me the definition of health was to eat less processed & packaged foods and more whole foods. Eating the way I want to 80-90% of the time and then giving myself grace in between. I know many people may disagree but I think it is not healthy to be eating processed vegan meats/products like chicken nuggets. It is soo highly processed and I don’t see any nutritional benefits. I agree with your thoughts of is this really better than eating a piece of meat? If people feel ethically they don’t want to eat the meat then make those alternatives homemade like black bean burgers and so on. Just don’t buy the processed stuff. Keep up the content ! :) and don’t worry about what negative comments may come up! Your story will inspire people, focus on that
Thank you so much for taking the time to write out this comment! I always love hearing from you all! I can definitely relate...having an "all or nothing" mindset its hard to maintain and stressful. Thank you for leaving a positive comment!
So many yummy eats. Thanks for sharing and including all the recipes. Going to be trying quite a few of them 🙂. Love this kind of video showing eating/cleaning out the fridge and using what you already have.
Processed vegan over animal flesh and fluids, because it is better for the animals and my soul. I’m vegan first for my fellow animals. I strive for WFPB for my health❤😊 Another great video! You are so creative and good at combining flavors!
Nice job with your clean out! I eat little processed vegan food mostly because I don’t like the ingredients but also because I like wfpb food better ❤️
faith, thank you for all sharing your gifts with us! I am trying the curry in a slow cooker today and if I get a chance will share the results! I grew up with my family raising a few cows to eat so I do think high quality and or locally grown meat can have health (and quality of life, enjoying culture etc) benefits, just keeping it at a minimum. Agree with another one who commented about using meat more for flavor or garnish than one giant portion. I respect those who chose to eat a certain way due to ethical reasons but I appreciate your journey and sharing how there are many ways to live a healthy lifestyle!
Another fab video Faith! Love the winging it approach, it’s so realistic. I was channelling your meal prep styles yesterday and made a couple of delicious sauces and pre cooked some grains to make throwing things on a plate easier this week for my family. I personally don’t like the ultra processed fake meat! I’d rather have falafel nuggets or something if I feel like that sort of thing cos then on know what’s on them :)
I think anyone on a plant-based diet should consider that legumes, grains and nuts have high amounts of phytic acid, which blocks the absorption of micronutrients. So food preparation becomes very important. In 2019 the german nutrition society released even a recommendation that people eating foods rich in phytic acid should complement zinc.

I really love your sourdough pancakes recipe! Thank you so much, it's the perfect breakfast for all the family and I can use my excess sourdough. I need your meal prep videos every week!!!😅😊🥰
Will try some of the recipes you shared...look so yummy. I just had spinach palak paneer at this northern Indian restaurant near my hse..seriously thinking of going vegetarian now 😊
I always wonder if you guys love living in Malaysia.. I personally don‘t think I could exist in that climate🥴☀️ but thats why everyone is different😊 everything looked very good and easy🙋🏼♀️✨
those potatoes are fine--you can even cut off eyes that have grown three or four or five inches and the potatoes will still be edible (cooked of course); curry powder is a very sophisticated taste for tiny palates--most kids won't eat it before teenage years, at least; I am in favor of eating meat instead of processed meat substitutes--you can veer towards fish if possible...as long as you aren't eating meat every day, three times a day--I think you are fine--I eat it about 2 times a week--I try to stay away from expensive cuts and beef, if possible...a cornish hen is tasty an inexpensive (off the bone, it would probably feed four with small children)--I always try to think of meat as a 'condiment'; bag of veggies--great with cream of chicken for chicken pot pie (bread/biscuits on top) or for 'shepherd's pie' with ground turkey, gravy, and mashed potatoes on top--both great for kids, easy to make and you might have leftovers with small kids; you may wish to dry some of your herbs, if you end up with more than you can use--dried herbs make a great gift (dried, chopped and in a glass jar with a bow); dts/usa
Total agreement, no fake meat here. If I have the strong desire for meat- I will eat some from the freezer that came from a local farm. For the most part we eat plant based for health.
I’m vegan for the animals first and foremost. So I’d eat the vegan processed food before I’d eat meat. However, just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean it’s healthy. I’m mainly WFPB. I only eat that stuff on rare or special occasions for an occasional splurge. 99% of the time, I don’t eat the vegan processed items. Some of them nowadays are so close in flavor and texture to actual meat that I find it grosses me out.
As someone with chronic health issues, autoimmune, etc., I care more about quality so will not touch processed fake meats with a ten-foot pole if I can avoid it. ... okay that was a little dramatic I might consume those 1-2 times in a year when out or at a social event because I'm trying to enjoy myself and be in the moment. But I can FEEL the icky processed chemicals and lab food when I eat it my body needs better. So because of this, and because meats are highly bioavailable nutrients for my struggling tired body, I do eat local meats and ghee from farmers I personally know are sustainable and take care of their animals with big fields, friends, and soft human interaction.
For me, there's just no contest, processed vegan food is better than animal products every time. Neither are great for your body, but animal products have the added negatives of environmental impact and the life of an animal. Plant-based processed alternatives are so much less harmful to the world.
thx for conciously not eating animal cruelty that are complelty unessential for human optimal health. unless surviving on island of course not eating animal corpse and thier somatic cell count pus blood infection secretion is kinda clean i agree
It really depends on why you eat plant based or vegan in the first place. If you’re ok with mass slaughter, horrible cruelty, detrimental effects to our environment, saturated animal fat and cholesterol, then sure, eat animals instead of a soy nugget, but if you care about the planet and sentient beings, then maybe you just use beans instead? FYI your flour is also highly processed.
Thanks for sharing! And yes, flour is highly processed. I guess I’m learning I don’t want to omit all processed foods in my diet. It would be stressful. Just try to limit them.
My Thoughts??? 7:40 min into the video when you mention "fake" meats makes me just want to unsubscribe. You don't need nuggets in your life. You can just have whole foods.

I also made a video about my journey as well so you can watch that a few videos back. Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Always feel free to unsubscribe. That’s the beauty of YT ☺️
