Such a joyful Mommy and Baby Plants...so happy for you and Q...love that you are back inspiring us...really happy you took time off.
Thank you! Yes it was great to have that time off... I really needed to rest! 😂 But feels great to be back too. 🤗🤗
I’ve always washed my mushrooms. Lots of dirt on them. And I love vege soup. I add chick peas, black/red beans, pasta along with tons of vegetables. Great video. Thanks.
You're welcome! And yes, totally agree! 😃
I wash my mushrooms too. 😊 My daughter won’t eat them if she finds a speck of dirt. Thanks for the inspiration today. I’ve gotten lazy on meal prep with our crazy summer schedule but now I’m feeling like I can do this today!
Haha love it! 😃 And you're very welcome! Glad it was inspiring.. you can definitely do a quick prep today. Just think how great you'll feel after! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Terrific ideas for your prepped veggies - you are always so helpful!
Aww yay! So glad to hear that! 🤗
I improvised a recipe yesterday, and I wanted to share. It's REALLY good:)
Lemon-Pepper Lentil Soup
500g lentils, cooked in a generous amount of water
Puree in the vitamix or food processor:
1 hot jalapeno pepper, or a habanero pepper
3 red and/or yellow bell peppers
2 onions (about 12 -16 ounces)
3 whole lemons, peeled (about 6 ounces, removing seeds if desired)
Add that puree to the cooked lentils and bring to a boil again for about a minute, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
Add to the pot while stirring: (all quantities are to taste, adjust as you wish)
garlic powder, generous (1 TBSP)
cardamom, a few dashes (1/2 tsp)
allspice, a dash (1/8 to 1/4 tsp)
Mrs. Dash Original salt free seasoning (or equivalent) generous (1 - 2 TBSP)
ground sage, a few dashes (1/2 tsp)
coriander seed, ground, a dash (1/4 tsp)
chinese 5 spice, tiny dash just for SUBTLE licorice and fennel notes (do not use much!) (1/16 - 1/8 tsp)
Then add until combined:
12 oz tomato paste.
Adjust thickness of the finished soup with water or vegetable broth.
Notes: tomato paste is optional, fresh or canned tomatoes can be used. Salt as desired. Soup should be thick, but if you want a thin soup, use vegetable broth or veggie bouillon to boost flavor. Celery juice, tomato juice, V8 Juice, or onion puree works well to thin the soup out without diluting flavors.
I just copied this recipe down. Can't wait to try it. Thanks so much for sharing it!!
Sounds delish!! Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe with our community! 🤩🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@LetsEatPlants 😉
Maddy you are back ❤❤❤❤ happy happy happy 😊
Thank you Chantal! 🤗🤗🤗 Feels so good to be back in the kitchen!
Awesome prep!
Thanks Erica!! 🤗🤗
I love the bolognese sauce idea!!! I will be making that.
Yay! It’s one of our family favorite staples! We make it at least once a month. 😃😃
Thanks for sharing your great ideas and encouragement! 🎉❤😊
You’re very welcome! 🤗🤗
I've never added a milk to my pasta sauce. What a great idea! Thanks for the video, Maddie! 💕
So glad it was helpful Laura! We love the creaminess it adds... it also helps to add the plant milk directly to the jar and shake it up to get all the last bits of sauce out. 😅
Another excellent meal prep video Maddie and have missed them. Love 💕 Maddie & family and love 🥰 the video.
Thanks David! I’ve missed you guys too! 🤗🤗
Great channel. Easy to follow and very inspirational
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you Maddy! So happy to enjoy and be inspired by your ideas and meal prep skills! Can’t agree more-she’s back🎉!!!
Aww YAY! So glad you’re here and thank you for this sweet comment!! 🤗🤗
Thank you Maddie for sharing more meal prep tips with me! I signed up your waitlist for your meal prep course.
I'm going to buy it when you launch again 😇 I won't miss my chance again
Woohoo! So glad to hear that. We should hopefully be re-opening in late summer or early fall! But as long as you're on the waitlist, you'll definitely be notified. 🤗🤗
Great to see you back Maddie. Your baby is gorgeous! ❤
Aww thank you! 🥰🥰 Feels great to be back!
SHE'S BACK! YAY!
🥳🥳🥳 Thank you! Feels great to be back in the kitchen 🤗
Mushrooms stored in a paper bag last weeks in the fridge (old grocer’s trick… that’s why paper bags are available by bulk mushrooms BUT the paper bag adds to the price so put in a plastic bag and transfer to paper once you’re home).
Good tip! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Maddie, I love ❤️ Just Egg liquid. I missed the time and temperature fir the “egg cups”! Loved this! One day when I open my fridge, it will look like yours! 😊
Isn't it handy!? I always find it turns out well when I cook with it. 😊 350F for 25-30 mins. for the egg cups! And let them cool and set for another 15-20 once out of the oven. 🤗
@@LetsEatPlants Oh thanks so much...I love it...will try next weekend. Perfect to make ahead for my workweek. I did meal prep for this work week. Very excited. I work 4, 10s. It will be nice not to have to scramble this week. YOU are such a great inspiration. Hugs galore!
I appreciate your practical ideas and suggestions to help us start the week in a healthy way! I also love your calm demeanor- so easy to listen to! Glad you’re back.
Aww thank you so much! So glad it was helpful. 🤗🤗
Welcome back, Maddy. Nice to see a little snippet of baby plant. This is my kind of prep. I have to know what the recipes are going to be. I don't do well with just random pull things out of the fridge. If I need onion for a couple of recipes, I'll cut them how the recipe indicates (like you mentioned) to use later. I wash mushrooms, too, but I rinse them off under a slow trickle of water. It's why I don't buy pre-sliced mushrooms. Soups are year-round for me, too. It's just a hot dish like eating pasta with sauce.
Thank you Cyndi! Oh yes, definitely helps to know the recipes beforehand. I like to plan a few out for the week.. but I do also do the random throw together with leftovers in the fridge too. 😂😂 (The soup is great for that. Stir frys too!)
So glad to see you back.
Congrats on your Baby!! 😊
Thank you so much! 🤗🤗
I always wash my mushrooms. They really need it. Yes, I wash my chicken in vinegar water as well, if there is any yellow on the skin I scrape it off and I feel great about it. Thank you for sharing.
Yes they do! 😃
It must be nap time! 😊 You shared some great ideas and thanks for the reminder for soup in the summer. The veggie soup looks so easy and delicious.
Hahaha exactly! Gotta get the prep in when I can these days! 😂😅 Yes, it's perfect for lazy days and using up leftover veg.
Lovely to see you back 😊
Thank you! Feels great to be back!
Love this. I’m disabled, so I don’t have the energy to be on my feet for too long, which means that I end up cheating and eating whatever I can order. Not ideal and definitely not healthy.
Thank you for sharing these helpful and easy tips. I love your bowl and colander set.
Congratulations on your baby!🎉
I hear you! This kind of prep is perfect then as it only takes about an hour (or less!). But pre-washed veggies can be a good option too! And frozen. 😃 We do both of those as well and they really help to have healthy options in a pinch!
Thank you!! 🥰🥰
Great to see you again!
Thank you!! 🤗🤗🤗
I just found you and subscribed! And you’re vegan. HalleluYAH! Why didn’t I ever think to chop my broccoli before washing it!? ❓Do you have a meal prep video for taking to work lunches? Please and thank you. 😊
Aww yay! Welcome! 😃😃 I would recommend any of these for work lunches:

It's good to see you back at it, Maddie! I saw a meme today about how some daughters are raised in a way that they can't be dragged back to the kitchen. My response was "And some daughters actually ENJOY being in the kitchen!". It was cool to see you make eggs cups, because I know we were talking about something like that, before. I still need to get some split mung beans. They are expensive, here! Anyway, thanks for the video and inspiration. Blessings! - Claire
Hahaha I really hope baby girl loves to be in the kitchen!! She'll definitely be getting a lot of exposure to it in her first few years of life. 😂 YES! The mung bean egg cups are still on my list to experiment with. The JUSTEgg works in a pinch, but it's expensive here! I'm surprised mung beans are expensive where you are! Have you tried an Asian market or online?
@@LetsEatPlants Right?! When I said that about daughters, I was thinking of you and I. But, yes, let's hope she has a natural affinity for cooking and being in the kitchen! How did your egg cups turn out, BTW? I was hoping you would show us the finished product. I wonder if split mung beans are so expensive because they are popular amongst the vegan crowd? You know companies will take advantage of any trend, unfortunately...At King Soopers, they are $16.99 for a two pound bag (organic). I did look around to the ethnic stores for other options. Fortunately, my apartment complex is right near a number of them. The Indian grocery store sells a greater quantity for about the same price, if I remember correctly. I didn't think to look at the Chinese shop, but the lady who runs it is not very nice to me, so maybe I'm better off sticking with the Indian store, anyway. The guy there is really nice. Customer service matters! Anyway, thanks for the tip. Blessings! - Claire
@@JazzedatHome 😄😄 The egg cups turned out great! Totally forgot to video the final product because baby girl woke up, but will have to do them in another video. 😊 Wow that is pricey for mung beans! I'm so surprised! Maybe try Amazon? amzn.to/4fr4cUC
@@LetsEatPlants That's good that the egg cups turned out well. Ah, I totally understand :) Yeah, it's very pricey. I'm disabled and my income is very low, ATM, so I'm reliant on food stamps. I don't see anything on Amazon that would work with that, unfortunately. Also, I'd have to either get Prime or order $35 worth of stuff, to make that work. So, either way, it wouldn't be less expensive for me. Thanks, though :)
@@JazzedatHome Oh gotcha! 😊💕
I am team wash mushrooms! I also have some lettuce that is not washed in my fridge…and I ‘m not eating it!! Meal prep is essential!
Right!? Hahaha it definitely helps to get that DONE! I love how this one only takes about an hour too. 🤗🤗
A lot of really good info here. Thanks!
You’re very welcome! 🤗🤗
🎉🎉🎉 thank you !!! 🩷💛🩷
You’re welcome! 🤗🤗
what's the drying time like?? can I just store them after a few minutes or do I wait hours with them in their containers without lids on on the counter??
I usually wait around 20 mins... usually the amount of time it takes me to finish cleaning up! But basically just look for them to be dryish. Another way to speed it up if you're in a hurry is to use paper towel or kitchen towels in the container to help absorb excess moisture. I do that especially with leafy greens! But a small bit of water in there is fine. 😊😊
What did you sprinkle on the potatoes and asparagus?
Just garlic powder, paprika and a touch of salt. 🤗🤗
how long at what temp do you cook the just egg ones for??
350F for 25-30 mins! Basically just look for them to be "set". With a watery veg they may look a little jiggly still, but they will firm up after they're out of the oven. 🤗

Cooking the mushrooms right before eating unlocks the nutrients inside the mushroom -- Raw doesn't give you the best benefit.
Great tip! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
