    Just made the green pasta for dinner-super yummy! Great with a sprinkling of Follow Your Heart Parmesan on top, too. :)
    Some notes for people who are wanting to make this dish:
    -Using fresh spinach instead of frozen which works great (I chopped it up a lil bit then pressed into measuring cup to get similar amount.. and then some more because I love spinach!)
    -If you want to use fresh herbs instead of dried, use 1 1/2 -3 times more than the dried amount
    -Coconut milk worked great! Didn’t give much of a coconut taste at all. So really, don’t worry about the cream if you don’t have it!
    -I didn’t have any lemon so I used a very ripe lime instead.
    Again, it was great! Super interesting flavor that my family loved.
    It’s probable that no one will see this comment haha, but I just thought I’d share my experience with it because I’ve always found comments like this helpful. :) Thank you Sadia for these lovely dishes!! Gonna try the pizza next!🥰

      I feel that way sometimes too, no doubt. Sometimes I’ll look to other accounts and feel like something I’m doing/creating isn’t enough. It’s a normal thing to compare. But keep in mind, what you see on TH-cam is made to look and feel pretty because of how it’s edited, and how the music plays overtop the clips. We want to tell a little story through the food we share, and make it look enticing so people feel welcomed to give it a try, but it doesn’t mean this is how our food looks or how we eat all the time. In fact, we’re on our way to pick up some takeout in a few minutes because I was too busy getting this upload ready to make anything and we just couldn’t be bothered. You’re doing great, Wife in the City. We’re happy you’re here with us 🌻

    Hi. You know, I've been looking for good recipes and healthy eating tips for a long time. I need this not only to lose the extra weight I gained from stress, but also because of my stomach disease. I accidentally came across your video and I can say that it is really amazing. Due to the fact that I live in Russia, I can not get all the ingredients of your recipes. But I'm resourceful, so I try to replace them with something similar. Nevertheless, I am delighted with your dishes. These dishes are delicious and unusual (especially for my normal diet).
    You are very cheerful and smiling and I like to see that. This gives motivation to eat properly too. Unfortunately, I still study English, which sometimes makes it difficult to understand some of the videos, but as they say, "the dictionary helps me".

    Here's a little tip!
    Rolling your pizza dough will kick out all the gas and result in a tough dough!
    Rather than rolling, use your fingertips and gently stretch the dough. The dough will naturally stretch really well and this will result in a chewy, crispy and soft pizza dough! :)

      @alisha yasmina excellent point! She did use self raising flour though, essentially all kinds of leavening agents follow the same priciples but in different proportions. Use less leavening and a thinner piece of dough to get a crusty thin crust base just like what Sadia does in the video! :)

To each their own, and seriously as long as you like what you eat, it really shouldn't matter. Sadia's recipes are all vegan and she doesn't use cheese. If you ask me that sauce looks goddamn delicious and I would even consider using it sometime. Essentially, a pizza is too broad of a definition and maybe altering your recipes to your liking is the way to go! :)

      It's not as heard as you think. I thought I was going to miss meat horribly but I didn't. It's actually been easier with teleworking since I no longer have the burden of my friends always trying to get me to eat meat. Before the pandemic I was plant-based and pretty lenient with it. I still lost 45 pounds over a year. COVID-19 made me become fully vegan. I finally realized how much eating meat not only negatively affected by my body, but the planet, and even the human population as a whole.
      Now I've told my friends I'm vegan and they didn't groan about it as much as I thought they would. lol. They might be used to the idea of me not eating meat by now. If you need any recipes, let us know! I'm sure we all have delicious recipes we'd love to share. Just let us know what type of foods you like. :)
      EDIT: I also have a list of fast food places that have vegan options. For example, Subway, or taco bell. Common places people might go.

I normally have trouble finding recipes that I know my brothers would enjoy, as well as my sister and parents.

      a good easy side is just cutting a sweet potato into small slices and putting them in the oven at 400f for about 20 to 30 minutes or so, then you can have sweet potato fries! and you can add any seasoning before or after depending on if you want to dip them in something salty or add powdered sugar and syrup for a dessert type of thing :) but i recommend using parchment paper to line the tray so nothing gets hard and sticks on it.

    • @eccentricfeminine
      @eccentricfeminine 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      and another good one would be washing a potato, poking at it all over with a fork so some heat n water can get into it lol and then wrapping it with parchment paper or aluminum foil as well and putting it straight in the oven no tray needed. if you leave it in there for about 30 to 40 mins you can take it out and have a baked potato, anyone can choose their toppings from there so they can have options. and you can also cut a potato up boil it until the pieces are soft, take them out add some milk, i like adding garlic salt but any seasoning you like just taste/try anything out! mash n mix it all together and you can have mashed potatoes toooo super easy and quick

Search up high protein vegan meals- it’s literally as simple to get enough protein - it’s not even the most important macro biologically anyways. The only thing that may take more is if ur building muscle you’ll need a protein powder to make ur life easier - which no vegans use anyways when they feel like they want/need to.
