I know you’ll probably not see this but PLEASE make more of these!! Stretching that money with soaring food prices is hard and you give so many amazing ideas!! ❤️
Yes it's getting so bad people are having to eat their emergency food supplies not because food is unattainable but because it's unaffordable. I'm lucky I'm ok and if you fry I will buy .Just playing lol
My aunt is badly diabetic and they finally took beans out of her diet but hey, meat was definitely the first (well no, she still eats unseasoned chicken)
@@sarahrodriguez6586 Your aunt is diabetic and she was advised to STOP eating beans?!!! I’m sorry, but that goes against all modern medical and nutritional advice surrounded diabetes! 😱 Can I ask whether she’s type one or type two?
@@Colmbaz type two but I can't really say what they advice her to eat, she feels like it's torture, I only remember nopales and egg whites. Glucerna. She also eats chicken and veggie soup without seasoning and it's all I know
Just wanted to share something I made while drunk the other night. Easy burritos. Half a bag of frozen Potatoes O'Brian (or called Hash Browns with onion and peppers) A whole bag of frozen peppers and onions (fajita veggies), A can of Black beans and a can of corn. I also used some oil and minced garlic from a jar. SUPER easy. I have so much I'm going to freeze some. I'm not vegan so I had an egg and some cheese with mine, but for vegan you could leave that out and add more beans and avocado and greens, anything you want really. It was cheap and easy enough to make while drunk and crying. Oh yeah, I put spices and jared salsa in there too.
upcycling leftovers into new things is a budget stretcher. I just took leftover spanish rice and pinto beans and put in the food processor with crushed corn chips, oregano, cilantro, onion and garlic powder and some pickled jalepenos with their brine. Pulsed till blended (leave chunky for texture) and make into patties. Air fry 7-15 minutes depending on size and your fryer ( or bake). I served on a bun with cashew ranch and some roasted anaheim chili and lettuce. I do this bean/grain burger combo all the time with different varieties and spice profiles (soybeans and brown rice with green curry; white bean-sorghum and pasta sauce and italian seasoning, etc). And mushrooms of all varieties have gotten alot more expensive where I live (seattle), but button mushrooms still the least expensive of the varieties
My Boyfriend is Vegan now. I love your channel. I want to do everything to support him and your food looks amazing. Am yet to cook him some of your recipes.
Wonderful. So practical. I try to be a raw vegan, but this is supremely to do in mid-west USA in the winter. All those raw vegan youtubes made by people who live on islands and the mountains of Hawaii. So I combine raw vegan with the practicality of Rose and have come up with an excellent diet. Have been doing this for years. Love you, lady friend.
Oyster and cremini are fairly cheap here in Croatia. Cremini are the cheapest (and very flavourful and useful), but oyster mushroom are almost as cheap.
I absolutely love using hummus to make a creamy pasta sauce!! It's so flavorful, quick and easy! Sometimes I use my homemade hummus to make the pasta sauce and oh man 🙌🏻☺️ it's so wonderful
Cremini and button mushrooms are CRAZY expensive in Korea (where I currently live). Here, the cheap mushrooms are enoki and king oyster. Occasionally I can find some cheap white button mushrooms at one of the traditional markets, but apart from that, the aforementioned are the cheapest.
I'm living in Cambodia and oyster mushrooms are pretty cheap which is amazing. On the other hand, canned beans (or any canned stuff) are so expensive and I relied a lot on canned beans before so oh well. You really can't have it all
Canned beans contain BPA. dried beans are better they take some time just get an instapot it's a very wise investment and cooking from dried always taste better and the beans are always softer.
Oyster mushrooms are super super easy to grow and clone. You mix some water with some wood bbq pellets like making a dough, it becomes like thick mash potatoes of sawdust, then you crumble in some of the spores, then you jam it in a plastic bag, twist the bag up tight and then poke a few holes in the bag
This was great! I'm trying to do more meal prep and half the videos start with "cook 45 chicken breasts and roast some veggies." I actually just tried stir-frying tofu in place of sausage in a recipe and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was! White mushrooms and baby bellas are pretty cheap where I am, but I always forget to use them in time so I have strict rule to only buy them if I'm using them that day. I can get six 'ugly' bell peppers for 4.15 so they're one of my staple vegetables to bulk up meals instead. Thanks for the recipes!
BTW, I live on the coast of NC, USA. Oyster mushrooms are only a dollar more than baby bellas here if you want to visit. You can only find them at Harris Teeter too.
I know everyone in the UK is really struggling with food prices right now so thank you for this! I am going to be trying out meal prepping to save money - but probably also lose some weight! ☺️💖
Awesome recipes! I love the "squinchey" noodle sounds while you were stirring the pasta!LOL and yeah - nothing better than onion and garlic sauteeing together !Yum!
Mushrooms were so cheap when I lived in UK but are pretty pricey here in Germany. I love making a cheap cheesy pasta sauce blending a can of white beans with garlic, nooch, salt, pepper and lemon juice - super easy macaroni cheese sauce. Also loved using hummus for sauce then adding chickpeas for protein - eerm or more hummus? Love the recipes.
You are the BEST! Thank you so much! Your peanut butter oat cookies are a go to for me-I will change them up, adding pepper flakes, chocolate, fruit, etc. They are so filling and a great on the go snack. Keep up the great work!
Getting rid of hsv 1 / 2 is like starting a new life and am glad I came across dr ekan on TH-cam for a day like this . It wasn't easy but I came through .
Oh hey, do you have Giant Tiger stores where your at? That would be a cool place to do a grocery haul from. They have good prices on fresh and frozen produce. And if you have one of the really big stores in your area, sometimes you can find tofu or vegan items. I live in NS but when I visit family in Ontario, I go there for some of my groceries. The Ontario stores are much bigger and have a larger selection of things then the stores in NS.
I used hummus as a dressing once when I was lit. Definitely should explore the pasta sauce possibilities! I love blending cans of chickpeas for a sauce but never thought to just use hummus!
I made the veggie pasta for dinner and is was delicious. I used red pepper hummus and red pepper flakes and each bite came with closed eyes and a happy dance lol Keep the recipes coming 😊
Hi rose! I live un argentina and mushrooms in general are very expensive! Ive never even seen oyster mushrooms here. The most common are "champignones" and portobellos and they cost like 400 pesos for 200 grams. Money in diferent countries is so confusing jaja
Hated onions as a child and I still do but I know the benefits of using them and so I do, but I cut them up very small to psych myself out lol. I hate peppers too. I cut them up small as well.
If you use chickpea pasta it is going to be even better and gluten free and for those not a fan 9f spinach kale or greens trio would work-- for the spinach pasta....we are going to try this soon!
Can you do a budget meal prep but with CAD? I’m so broke and live in Calgary and kinda want ideas for what to make that’s cheap here too! Love your content 💙
in the uk oyster mushrooms are £10.50 per kilo, oyster mushrooms are mainly grown here so thats why they're cheap (well kinda) (edit:) this is good considering that a CAD is 1.55 of a pound
Team Cilantro 😎 I recently found your videos and I think they are awesome. I liked all the recipes. 💖 I do have to say I cringed a little at the raw tortillas. I know the label says "cooked" but they are barely cooked. They're expected to be heated again before serving and that will finish the cooking. If you actually heat them up, you will see a difference in texture and flavor. The light golden brown spots and the smell let you know they're ready. I think you're missing out if you haven't tried them as they're meant to be eaten.
??? I generally make up beans, rice, oven roasted veggies/potatoes for the week. Can you possibly do a video on how to put stuff together as you go through out the week??? My husband is not on team cilantro. 😟
Bell peppers are my jam and they’re in almost every recipe I make. Now the only time I buy fresh bell peppers is when they’re in season and on sale or if I can’t find the frozen. Oh or sometimes you can get a good deal on “imperfect peppers”. So for just frozen peppers I get the “great value sliced 3 pepper blend”, which is a Walmart product and in Canadian dollars it’s only $1.98 for 500gm bag. Or there’s the “president’s choice 3 pepper and onion blend” from Superstore or No Frills which is $4.79 for a 500gm bag, but the price on this varies as the frozen veggies go on sale a lot. The pieces in the PC blend are much larger chunks than the GV. So that’s how I’m able to have peppers in all my meals all year round, lol.
@@chloe2264 Hey, no problem glad to help.. I don’t know if it’s the same in store’s near you but in the one I go, they have name brand veg in one freezer and great value veg in another. I missed it for a long while too, lol.
Mushrooms are the most affordable at HMart or my local Asian market. Right now is the only time we really are able to buy non-green bell pepper because our local grocery store has them for like .98c for all colors. My fave time of year haha
In Virgina whole white mushrooms are $3.74 for 16 Oz and sliced baby bells 16 Oz is $4.34 Haven't found any other kind of mushrooms They probably are available at Fresh Market but everything is more expensive there and further away ( gas ⛽️prices ugh 😑)
Hey Rose! #teamcilantro over here! 😂 I love your budget friendly ideas, they seem pretty easy, deliciuos and abundant, these are hard times indeed. I live in México and oister mushrooms are also expensive here, I'll have to keep with the cremini too.
Your videos are always so much fun to watch. I've never thought of making a larger amount of bean burritos and freezing them. What a great idea! I actually make my own tortillas (a very easy recipe) and they are even cheaper than the store-bought ones, and tastier too. =)
my life is super busy right now and filling my freezer with burritos every week or two is literally saving me. 3 weeks ago I made tofu scramble burritos with muchrooms, spinach, pesto, and vegan cheese for half of my batch and my other half was black beans, frozen bell peppers, onion, salsa, and chili powder. Last week's batch was tofu, chickpeas, mushrooms, vegan sausage, and kale. They're the best way to use up stuff that needs using! I make 10-15 at a time and the actual time spent cooking is about the same as just making a couple burritos! Just takes longer wrapping to wrap them up. A+ highly recommend.
Guys, A great way to also save$$$ at lest here is Pennsylvania, US. Buy frozen, mushrooms onions and spinach are very cheap. Also as a mom with two little kids i asked my daughters why she doesn't like onions she said ....." They burn" so i think they mean the bite onions can have .Further, Tofu solves everything lol and Rose those nails are amazing.
Kids, the dried beans are the way to go.. My bulk bin at a local store has 2 pounds of beans/peas for $2.24. In the prepackaged section, most 1 pound bags are 1.89-1.99. I also have a dehydrator..I cook up dried beans I want to use now, and then dehydrate the rest. They keep well in glass jars after dehydrated. You can make almost instant dinners with dehydrated beans and dehydrated veggies. If you see a good deal on bulk foods, dehydrating is also buying you time in the future AND saving you money because no idea how high prices in the future will go. ✌🏼💜
i find mushrooms are usually cheaper at Asian grocery stores but if you have it get them at bigger stores, at my local store its actually way cheaper to buy them in bulk than it is to buy them in the packaging. 0.5lb package is $3-4 but bulk is $5/lb
Frozen spinach is the cheapest! Plus it ages less, so it's healthier and stores well. Field to frozen is my go-to, when it comes to most veggies and fruits.
Definitely team cilantro love it and especially the smell when cooking. I make a similar dish to the pasta but I add cherry tomatoes that are cut in half and fresh basil, yum! I usually pay 59 cents for canned beans but I just paid 75 for a can of chick peas. The bagged have gone up to over $@ a bag. Oyster mushrooms are over $6 and you only get 3 halves!
I have GERD and can't eat onions, garlic or mushrooms (or red peppers...)...🥲 Any ideas for veggie substitutes for the spinach pasta? I love the idea of making sauce out of hummus!
Oh you are so right!! Everything is so darn expensive Gas, food, utilities it's crazy!🥹 I love your recipes 💕 Hey Rose,byou can make your tofu look like scrambled eggs By using powdered turmeric And add a little black salt 😋
I’m. Making this I love your videos and we just went to target to get some stuff for those. Also I tried your three ingredient burger recipe and it was so good me and my family loved it
I just bought 40 lbs of mushrooms, canned 30lbs and turned 10lbs into mushroom powder bc they were on sale . During the Fall bell peppers were on sale for .99 lb so I dehydrated $40.00 worth ....making winter cooking cheaper.
I love onion flavor but HATE the texture of cooked onions. Its like halfway between slimy and crunchy and super outputting. I have to dice mine super fine when I add them to a dish.
I agree with this entirely. I've been cooking only with cast iron ceramic or glass and stainless steel for years because those have been around for quite a while. Not too long ago they found out baby powder causes ovarian cancer. Meanwhile cast iron has been around for a good 1400 years if it does anything bad we know it by now. Plastic is just a little bit too new and we already know that microplastics shave off from it all the time.
Hey girl hey I don’t normally comment but I had to that mushroom burrito for breakfast it’s so awesome. You don’t miss the meat it’s very filling. I added spinach and avocado on the side. Thank you thank you thank you keep the Recipes coming. I love your channel.
I pay $1.49 to $1.99 for a pint of cremini or white button mushrooms. I’m near Louisville KY, USA. Love the burrito recipe. More Meal prep videos please.
Always love your recipes and help keeping the grocery budget under control is always appreciated. All mushrooms are expensive where I live in Sacramento California unless I’m buying at Costco. Problem with buying at Costco is it’s a big container and definitely a challenge for one person to eat.
Those burritos are a definite go for me, looks like a good lunch option. And...I'm a spice wimp and a definite NO for cilantro as I don't like my food smelling and tasting like soap.
I know you’ll probably not see this but PLEASE make more of these!! Stretching that money with soaring food prices is hard and you give so many amazing ideas!! ❤️
I saw it!!! I definitely want to make a lot more budget friendly videos cause seriously, it's so bad out there!

My mind is blown with the hummus pasta sauce! Why didn’t I ever think of that?!! And those burritos look 🤌🏼
it's the easiest hack!!! :)
Hummus pasta is the best hack! I like mine with tomatoes and olives :)
I’ve never done it with just hummus but I’ll add some hummus to another pasta sauce or teriyaki sauce or whatever to make it protein
Is it supposed to be eaten cold?

Thankyou so much for your recipes. They all look so delicious. I can’t wait to try making them.
Brilliant idea, I would never have thought of using hummus for a pasta sauce 😋 thank you x
We can't even find oyster mushrooms where we live, and when we find them outside our area, they are expensive. Need to break down and grow our own.
Urg, wraps here are 5$ its a rough time. Tho sometimes Union Mart has oyster mushrooms on sale if you wanna come to Kjipuktuk
My husband and I neither one like cilantro, so I just swap it for parsley. Works out great. 💚
Yes!!! Onion and garlic everything YUM!!
I get my beans, rice & mushrooms at Costco. That's an easy delicious burrito. Pasta with hummus & tofu, rice dishes are yummy too.
Definitely team cilantro love it and especially the smell when cooking. I make a similar dish to the pasta but I add cherry tomatoes that are cut in half and fresh basil, yum! I usually pay 59 cents for canned beans but I just paid 75 for a can of chick peas. The bagged have gone up to over $@ a bag. Oyster mushrooms are over $6 and you only get 3 halves!
oh man that's so cheap!!! gotta love beans. they are basically cheap everywhere! and those prices for oyster mushrooms should be illegal !
I have GERD and can't eat onions, garlic or mushrooms (or red peppers...)...🥲 Any ideas for veggie substitutes for the spinach pasta? I love the idea of making sauce out of hummus!
Great video. I could eat those recipes every day. Thanks for all the helpful ideas!
Newly
subscribed thank you for all your gifts ❤🙏🏻
Oh you are so right!!
Everything is so darn expensive
Gas, food, utilities it's crazy!🥹
I love your recipes 💕
Hey Rose,byou can make your tofu look like scrambled eggs
By using powdered turmeric
And add a little black salt 😋
I liked all the recipes. Nice presentation.
I’m. Making this I love your videos and we just went to target to get some stuff for those. Also I tried your three ingredient burger recipe and it was so good me and my family loved it
I just bought 40 lbs of mushrooms, canned 30lbs and turned 10lbs into mushroom powder bc they were on sale .
During the Fall bell peppers were on sale for .99 lb so I dehydrated $40.00 worth ....making winter cooking cheaper.
west europe here, oystermushrooms are expensive but bell peppers are not! :) carrots and onions are super cheap
I love onion flavor but HATE the texture of cooked onions. Its like halfway between slimy and crunchy and super outputting. I have to dice mine super fine when I add them to a dish.
Thank You for these videos and help. Please no use plastic and heat together it is super super toxic, please cut out plastic from kitchen.🫶🏼Much Love.
Thanks for your tips!
I agree with this entirely. I've been cooking only with cast iron ceramic or glass and stainless steel for years because those have been around for quite a while. Not too long ago they found out baby powder causes ovarian cancer. Meanwhile cast iron has been around for a good 1400 years if it does anything bad we know it by now. Plastic is just a little bit too new and we already know that microplastics shave off from it all the time.
Hey girl hey I don’t normally comment but I had to that mushroom burrito for breakfast it’s so awesome. You don’t miss the meat it’s very filling. I added spinach and avocado on the side. Thank you thank you thank you keep the Recipes coming. I love your channel.
I pay $1.49 to $1.99 for a pint of cremini or white button mushrooms. I’m near Louisville KY, USA.
Love the burrito recipe. More Meal prep videos please.
Always love your recipes and help keeping the grocery budget under control is always appreciated. All mushrooms are expensive where I live in Sacramento California unless I’m buying at Costco. Problem with buying at Costco is it’s a big container and definitely a challenge for one person to eat.
freezer burritos are the way to use them up then! They are my meal prep hero
Ordered groceries for $35 ($5 over) and I will be making these meal preps! Can’t wait 😛
Have you ever tried yondu sauce in replace of fish sauce?
Those burritos are a definite go for me, looks like a good lunch option. And...I'm a spice wimp and a definite NO for cilantro as I don't like my food smelling and tasting like soap.
Could you recommend a substitution for mushrooms that isn't eggplant? I'm allergic to mushrooms and eggplant is blegh.
Def making the burritos and pasta dish!! They all look yummy!💚
Team cilantro for sure! These are great recipes. Thanks for sharing them. I definitely needed some low cost meals.
Save money, don't buy oil. I cook with veg. broth and water.
