Exactly I'm 71 live alone and don't like complicated or too much energy output ..esp since I don't feel fully nutrified from this diet .. yet .I miss the comfort type meals meat Loaf etc n want to learn to cook these comforts plant based
Thank you for this video. When I first started eating WFPB I swear I about drove myself nuts and wasted so much food. I thought I had to cook all these varieties of foods that I was seeing on TH-cam videos. I no longer do that. I now tell people to pick out some basic menu's they like and rotate this. You can always try something new once a week or so. Keeping some basics made makes life so much easier. Great job on this video.
Love her vibe and recipes. She's so down to earth. I did her 28-day intro to plant-based eating and really enjoyed it and have kept mainly going plant-based with some eggs and fish now and then.
I am SO excited! I’ve gotten away from eating plant-based foods, but when I did for several years, this was exactly how I rolled! Thank you so much for reinspiring me with the easy, make-ahead meals. I’ve printed it out and immediately purchased a membership. This will save my life!! Your process is priceless. :)
These are my kind of meals. Wholesome ingredients prepared in my own kitchen. Best of all, assembled the way I like it at the time of eating. Sometimes I have a banana avocado smoothie with granola for dinner--quick, nutritious and satisfying, perfect after a day of work in the garden. BTW Jill, I used to sew aprons to give as gifts. The fabrics you've chosen to make your aprons looks absolutely beautiful on you. I would be highly interested if you started a clothing line. I know you thrift some of your clothes but I love your style and palette. A few pieces you've worn on your show (including the dress in this video) I would love to have in my wardrobe. So that you know, you've got a fan in me.
Batch prep is almost a given when you eat WFPB, too easy otherwise to make poor last minute choices! I was confused, I thought "Rancho Gordo" was a type of bean, but it's a grower of a variety of heirloom beans. I'm sure they're wonderful, the "caviar" of beans, but just too pricy for my skimpy retirement budget when I can get 4 lbs of my favorite bean (cranberry/Roman) locally for the cost of one lb of theirs. Anyway, I was curious which one is your favorite bean?
So happy to find your channel on TH-cam. I needed to learn how to keep plant based life simple ..I love your storage ideas Wil use them.oh I'm just so thrilled to be here t y for this ❤
Welcome to our channel! We have hundreds of free whole food plant-based recipes and tips available here on TH-cam and on our website: plantbasedcookingshow.com/
I love your message of keeping it simple. I very much resonate with this and it’s how I have continued eating this way for the past fourteen years. It is THE reason I can keep my family of four fed with healthy, whole plant foods. I just started making some videos of how I make super simple starch staples for our family, how to use the instapot etc. It can be so simple once your tastebuds adjust.
Love this video......easy and organized! I am one so will cut in half. Many thanks. (Sometimes I watch one of Jill's videos just to relax......love her presentations!) Then I end up making the dish! A win-win!
I just made your grain mix, using oat groats instead of steel cut because that's what I had, and I'm very happy with it. I'll be making it over and over. I tried some with a tiny bit of maple syrup, cinnamon, walnuts and raw cocoa powder and it will be excellent for breakfast, snack or dessert. I'll be topping it with bananas or other fruit as well. Thank you.
Great tips thank you! All the food looks delicious, love the idea of chopping up greens, they’re always an afterthought for me, this is great for weeknights when i have no time or energy to spare..🍄🌎🌱☮️🦋
We also love Rancho Gordo beans! Lucky me, I live in the town where their store is located, and it's a fun outing to walk over there and buy a few packages. This video reminded me to start doing weekly meal prep like you dp, to make things easier and not be tempted to grab something unhealthy if we're short on time.
Thank you so much for this video! It's exactly what I need. I've been wondering whether every week I should prep a different bean and a different grain in the (beloved!) Instant Pot, and then chop up a variety of veggies, and try to form meals from that and by the looks of it, I'm thinking along the right lines for day to day eating. I don't like to cook every night, it's not one of those things that I enjoy - but I do enjoy cooking 2-3 times a week, and in between times, if it's OK to compile a Buddha bowl type of meal then I will be very happy with that. Thank you also for the lentils/grains combination - what a great idea that is, and I will definitely try that out in the near future. Phew! This video is like a weight off my shoulders. PS. Black lentils are beluga lentils, right? They look the same. I have beluga lentils but haven't used them before, so this will be a great chance to use them. I have buckwheat, not the flour, but it cooks at the same speed as lentils because I've used it in another recipe, so perhaps that must be the groats. Well, we'll soon find out! And I have a ton of the right kind of oats already.
Thank you so much for this. Sometimes I just want to be done with cooking. I work full time and don’t want to eat out. I have cooked a few of your recipes and freeze half(it’s just me). Always great to have something I can pull out and warm up. Although I will say your meals are not frozen for long as I like to eat them soon after making them. 🎉 it is really nice to freeze and quick heat up meals in the winter, yum!
Love your video and it is what I have been looking for to begin meal prep. Most WFPB individuals show what they make and show pictures of what to eat but they do not show what is eaten each day. I would like to request a prep video like today, but also what you would make for each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for 5 days or a week with what you prepped. Obviously you wouldn't eat the same meal for 5=7 days? Or would you? I need variety and would love for a video of prepped food, how to prep like you did and what your family ate with the meal prep for a week. If it is too long, maybe it could be a two part video?
When you refer to the grains in the Instant Pot, do you allow for a natural release or do you release the pressure right away? Will it need draining, or will all that water have been absorbed? I wonder, could I reduce the amount to be cooked and the water by half? Or could I freeze half the grains if there was too much for me over a week?
I have just stumbled across your channel. Thank you, I love you content! Question here..... did you cook the sweet potatoes and carrots at the same time in the instapot? Following from Northern Minnesota.
Hi Jill, just found your channel and am trying out some recipes. I just want to make sure I understand correctly - two people can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the food you made in this video for 7 days? Or do you all other meals? Does in get repetitive to eat the same thing every day for a week?
Do you have a full recipe for the grains? I followed this and pressure cooks for 20 minutes with a quick release and it came out mushy and a bit watery. Should I have let it slow release? Not pressure cooked?
Meals look good. We don't get purple sweet potatoes here. Never would of thought of turning lentils into something a little sweet. Odd combos to me. But that is okay.
I bought your first cookbook and I love it! You said there would be links to the recipes you referenced in this video but I don’t see the African stew recipe. Where is the link?
How long do cut up vegetables last in the fridge? I saw online around three days. Today for the first time I cut up all the vegetables that I bought. it’s always a hassle to meal prep every day, lots of vegetables to wash, clean and cut become an obstacle and you end up not eating like that very consistently because of all the daily work. How to do it in an efficient way without vegetables going bad?
Thank you for your videos. I use my instant pot for cooking my beans, but I do not soak them. I just rinse and cook. Is there a particular health benefit from soaking first vs me just rinsing and cooking? Thank you for your time.
Hi, Just got a used Instant Pot. Don't you have to add water to everything for the Instant Pot to work? You didn't mention adding water to the sweet potatos. Thanks
Not all my taste but straight to the gd point. Loved the format omg I was scouring for a SIMPLE plan to literally start today.. without the hours of preamble and hundreds of recipes videos gd
Can you tell me which cook book has the chocolate mint cake in it And easy to make Christmas cake and dinner thank you I am learning to cook at the age of 64 last based recipies
I have had 2 A/fib . 20# clogged arteries. I’m on thyroid and migraine meds. I lost my optic nerve at the age of. 45. All I have is my prefer. I did keto years ago. All I want is to be healthy and get lean. I’m so curious on trying this new lifestyle of plant based ! I’ve eaten eggs for years. Will this be hard to do?? Like my wife and I go out to restaurants and where planning a cruise next year. How can I start?
Great video! I'm assuming one adds the lentils and the grains together in the instant pot. In the email directions you only say add grains to the instant pot. Please clarify if you can. Thanks!
I love all your recipes! They are mostly healthy and taste good! But would there be an eating plan, for those who choose to go vegan,and also lose weight?
These are my 2 favorites www.ranchogordo.com/collections/heirloom-beans/products/rio-zape-bean www.ranchogordo.com/collections/heirloom-beans/products/christmas-lima-beans
I have chronic illness so most things are too much energy for me to prep most the time. Thanks for these ideas, they help a lot make it seem doable
Exactly I'm 71 live alone and don't like complicated or too much energy output ..esp since I don't feel fully nutrified from this diet .. yet .I miss the comfort type meals meat Loaf etc n want to learn to cook these comforts plant based
I've watched a lot of meal prep videos where they never showed how to put the ingredients together, so thank you so much for the ideas!

Keeping some basics made makes life so much easier. Great job on this video.
I love salads and do a non oil dressing, then I just eat some brown rice and quinoa or yam, etc with it so I feel fuller.
Love her vibe and recipes. She's so down to earth. I did her 28-day intro to plant-based eating and really enjoyed it and have kept mainly going plant-based with some eggs and fish now and then.
Great job. Now just a little further to go as you get rid of the eggs and fish. ❤🎉
@@MIMMarketing She can stick with the way she's doing it. Sounds well-balanced.
Thank you for this video!!!! It is super helpful on what to eat. Please consider a 4 week series every quarter so we can get ideas for each season.
Absolutely loved this down to earth, realistic plan. And I could eat lentils for breakfast too!
Thank you Jill for your channel. So many tips and yummy foods.
Ha! Grain/bean mixes are the best! Thanks for the tips.
I am SO excited! I’ve gotten away from eating plant-based foods, but when I did for several years, this was exactly how I rolled! Thank you so much for reinspiring me with the easy, make-ahead meals.

@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow thank you
Hi Jill , was wondering the variety of bean you used, is that a kidney bean ? I live in Canada and was wanting to order guerdo rancho beans. Thankyou.
What is that on the wall above the stove, please. A tablet? And how do you secure it to the wall?
Where did you purchase the large container for your greens?
There are both red lentils and split mung beans in my morning porridge mix. They really do disappear from a flavor perspective.

Oat groats, buckwheat groats and black lentils, equal parts

Thank you for your videos. I use my instant pot for cooking my beans, but I do not soak them. I just rinse and cook. Is there a particular health benefit from soaking first vs me just rinsing and cooking? Thank you for your time.
Soaking releases some of the enzyme inhibitors into the water. Supposedly they are easier to digest and give you less gas. 👍

Thank you. Can I just say, you are gorgeous and you glow. I'm a woman in my late 30's and would love to give off your vibe ( I don't, hehe) 😊
i've never had raw collards because i thought they're bitter without cooking (with bacon fat)
I wish I lived with you guys or at least was your next-door neighbor and you would cook for me...... of course I would pay you!!😅
Do ship to Mexico? I would really like to get Complemet Essentials.
Great stuff. Although I don't think you actually need to presoak the beans if you cook them in the Instant Pot.
Presoaking activates enzymes and starts a bunch of positive life process changes in the bean. Just cooking then does none of that.
That’s always a personal choice. I soak because it reduces the phytates that prevents mineral absorption & it’s easier on our digestion
I agree with the people who commented. Better for your digestion system
You can cook them in the IP without pre-soaking, but It takes longer, and the soaking makes them easier to digest.
I was told sweet potatoes are yellowish and yam is the pink/ purple ones. Is that not right?
Now I’m all inspired 😅😂 thank you so much! I don’t know why I keep over complicating this way of eating
