  • This summer let's save some MONEY but creating wholesome budget meals! Make sure to check out my $1 meal series linked below! I'll be adding each week to that playlist so make sure you're subscribed so you never miss a new video!
    My most popular recipe! PERFECT for summer!
    2 ingredient bean burgers:
    1 can refried beans or 1 can beans, drained but not rinsed! (any beans!)
    1 1/2 cup dried mashed potato flakes
    mix both ingredients together, roll into burger patties and cook either on the grill or stove top 2-3 minutes each side!
    you can add anything you'd like to the burger! some of my favorites are onions, corn, chiles, mushrooms!
    Recipes from today:
    Creamy mexican street corn:
    -8oz fage 0% yogurt
    -1 container guac (or 1/4 cup)
    -1 chopped red bell pepper
    -1 small chopped onion
    -1 can corn, drained and rinsed
    -salt to taste
    *Add onion and pepper to hot skillet, I water sauté most of my veggies but you can use oil if you prefer! Once onions are translucent add corn and cook until peppers are completely tender
    Add your yogurt and avocado to a bowl, a pinch of salt combine well than add in your veggies
    Chickpea salad:
    -8oz fage 0% yogurt
    -1 can chickpeas drained but not rinsed
    -1/4 cup relish
    -2 tbsp mustard (any!)
    -pinch of salt
    Add all ingredients to your food processor and combine to your liking! You can leave it chunky or make it super smooth
    Shop my favorite kitchen items!:

    Black bean salad. Black beans, fresh basil, corn, red bell pepper, onion, green beans, black olives, with a simple rice vinegar dash of olive oil dressing yummmm. Love fruits for summer anything I can get. And corn on the cob raw

    I’ve been loving a chickpea, asparagus, lemon pasta. I make a sauce with butter and fresh lemons over the roasted chickpeas and asparagus. Yum! Also been loving good ole chickpea Mediterranean salads cold for lunch.

    If you havent already, look into white pepper. Black pepper makes me nauseous, but can use white pepper with no issues, it doesnt have a strong scent either. Very mild, i get it at target for $2.50 a jar.

    My favorite way to make the chickpea salad is to buy the little mini red, orange and yellow peppers. Cut them in half. Fill them with the salad and then snack.

    Wonderful frugal meal ideas for summertime! I've had chickenless or chickpea salad for years, but never thought of putting it in a food processor and using it as a dip with yellow peppers! Sounds great, will try, thanks!!

    My families favorite summer meal is anything in a tortilla, quesadilas, wraps, pinwheels, taquitos, enchiladas etc. Flour or corn so any thing like that would be amazing. Most can be meal prepped and heated up later or ate cold.

  • @vikihoover6632

    I seriously thought your usual method of cooking tofu was by coating the cubes with corn starch and then cooking in the air fryer. I'll have to try the pan method.

    This may sound stupid but what are the difference between plant based and vegetarian

    • @yvonnepalmquist8676
      @yvonnepalmquist8676 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dairy and egg products are not part of a WFP diet. It also limits processed foods and oils, I believe.

    • @yvonnepalmquist8676
      @yvonnepalmquist8676 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I get confused between WFP and vegan, but I think that difference is WFP will still use animal byproducts such as honey, and vegan uses no animal byproducts.

    • @user-we2vq7op4p
      @user-we2vq7op4p 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Plant based = no animal products at all. Vegetarian = animal productts eg: milk products and eggs but absolutely NO animal flesh.

    • @pennydroogsma1948
      @pennydroogsma1948 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Vegetarian diet includes eggs and dairy. Plant based means no animal products, like a vegan diet.

    • @flourishingmiranda
      @flourishingmiranda  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Plant based just means your diet is MAINLY made up of plants. It is common for people to assume it is like the vegan diet because that’s how many portray it! It can be if that’s what you’d like it to be- but it can just be your diet is 80% or more plants ❤️ vegetarians just don’t eat meat but will eat dairy and eggs! I absolutely HATE food labels but it can be so tricky now a days since everyone follows some specific coded diet 🤣🤣 the amount of them is unreal! But I do understand for search purposes it’s easy to find when coded for anyone looking for recipes ❤️❤️
