    Thank you for showing that eating vegan doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. I also love that your appliances aren’t pristinely clean and new. You’re the real deal, a busy mom making great videos! You are perfectly imperfect, just like the rest of us. Thank you again. ❤

    Hello!! Thanks for the ideas to give variety to our diet.
    A tip for making tacos so that the tortilla doesn't break is to heat it. We Mexicans use a comal but if you don't have one you can use a frying pan or the microwave to heat it.🙂
    Blessings from Mexico❤

    Great. Now I’m craving those taquitos. And I may be the only person who really loves the taste of tofu, but I would absolutely have thrown some cubed tofu in with the pasta a veggies to boil for a few minutes and firm up. Would’ve been great with that peanut sauce.

      You can soak overnight and cook the beans on stove top. Don't pour all of that beautiful bean broth down the drain, (sacrilege, especially the black beans, wasting all of the flavor!) slightly wet and mash (with fork, potato masher, or a wire wisk) .Soft, well cooked beans will mash easily (go easy on the salt, it can make your beans not soften). OR... buy a can of fat free refried beans because easy fast works too. ;-)

    The refried beans taquitos would have to be a carb cheat day for me because I'm trying to limit my carbs. Well, I could get the carb friendly tortillas. Everything looks so good...Oh and the rice (brown rice will have to do) My dollar store has tons of brown rice. 🎉

    i have never heard of adding kombu to beans so that it helps with gas and bloating. can i just use nori sheets for this?

    • @plantwhys
      @plantwhys  2 месяца назад +4

      Yes, both kombu and nori can be used when cooking beans to help lessen gas. Both seaweeds contain enzymes that can help break down the complex sugars in beans that can cause gas and bloating. Adding a piece of kombu or nori to the cooking water when preparing beans can help make them easier to digest and reduce the likelihood of gas.
