    These videos have quickly become a really enjoyable part of my "me" time, they are very zen, and very interesting. As a person who really enjoys alone time, it's nice to see someone really enjoy their peace. 🙏🏽

      @@tfptravel.food.peace.3788 THANK YOU fr fr. I love these videos. They're actually really inspiring to me. Just the idea of keeping a routine has helped me rethink a very busy life in the new year. As an introvert myself, I find it really admirable that someone can create the space for themselves and thrive. On top of that this person seems really kind and seems interested in spreading that energy. I subscribe to that 💯

    Ok, old lady laundry tip: when you hang up a t-shirt, bring the hanger up through the shirt instead of pulling it down through the collar. It won't stretch out that way. Just for fun -- makes shirts last longer. Have fun. Be safe.

    Yeah, I’m an RN and I was so tired at work one night from lack of sleep and a coworker gave me an energy drink (she was addicted). That was my first and last time drinking one of them. I got so jittery and nervous. My heart was having palpitations. I couldn’t wait for the effects to wear off. Never again.

    It's okay & unfortunately a woman alone has to think about her safety first & foremost. Since introverts aren't very social it is weird when anyone let alone a big guy walks up. I had a guy send an overly sweet comment on something I sent a close friend of mine on FB & I freaked out. And I felt so guilty afterwards, the guy wasn't even in the same state but oh lord, that just doesn't happen to me. So a real live guy right there, yep it's okay to be protective. Good luck with your Portobello Burger, I haven't made one of those but am hooked on making sliders, then I have 12 little sandwiches to put in the freezer. Pull 1-2 out, zap em with a salad or soup works good for me. So I made French onion & mushroom sliders last week. Yummy!

    Sharing our foods that we enjoy. Chia seeds are very good to eat daily. Chia seeds can be eaten in many foods and is a good source of protein with lots of antioxidants. Greek plain yogurt can be eaten daily in small amounts in different ways. My favorite is steel oats & topped with yogurt add nuts and berries (I eat this daily with my morning coffee or even as a dessert). Also, raw nuts and healthy wheat breads and grains with 4-5 grams of protein per slice. I also make several kinds of beans in the Instapot. I use beans as a meal and add in salads. Avocados are a healthy protein. Eat peaches weekly for a good source of iron. My hubby and I are not vegetarians but do try to make and eat healthy lifestyle meals with less meat portions daily. We are trying to live a healthy lifestyle daily in our late sixties in the Rio Grande Valley down in So Texas.🇺🇸Take care and God bless you. 🙏

    I had to speak on the rice and noddle comment. If an individual is not eating meat you have to eat high nutrition dence food all day in order not to starve. The carbs are for your vital organs to be able to function and build muscle. That's how plant based works not to mention The carbohydrates satiate you especially warm.

    Plant based eating has THE most amount of protein in it. Fruits and veggies (organic) all loaded with all that good stuff to keep your body mind and soul at it's highest performance levels. When you are shopping go for all the foods / sauces / condiments that say vegan or organic. Why do I say this? BECAUSE you would vomit (like that day you were at the gas station and the worker messed with her hair then proceeded to serve food) at the amount of pesticides that they are putting in ALL of our food and drinks.

    They have these laundry soap sheets out now that are perfect for van life. Don’t take up any space or weigh anything. Heck I’m going to get them when I’m out due to the reduced packaging and shipping weight. You can find on Amazon btw.
    Isn’t it hard to buy for 1 ? Seems like everything is packaged for family of 4.
    To get your protein you can look into different things that combine to create complete proteins like rice with dry beans- there’s a reason that’s been a pairing for ages- lol. Also Corn and beans work but there’s many more combos.
    I love me some grilled garlic and butter shrimps but I don’t often feel like getting out to the bbq pit and dealing with all that to make them so I just sauté the shrimp in garlic and seasonings with a tad of liquid smoke. You were smart to go easy on it cause you can ruin your food if you get too carried away with it.

    I enjoy all of your videos. My dream is to sell our two story home and travel in an rv. Hubby says no. Bless your heart. You're so brave! Thank you also for your service! I love energy drinks too!!!! Be careful however! Last Christmas Eve I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. NEVER had it before! My doctor told me to stop the energy drinks, which were contributing to my high blood pressure. I never drank more than 2 a day. I'm in my 40s, never had it, eat whole foods, am active and considered healthy. I hated to hear that! Doc said energy drinks are really bad for the heart. 🥴 Now i drink True North or just green tea in the morning. They're not as good as my beloved Zoa, or MT. DEW Energy, but they help. Anyway, God bless you and may the good Lord keep your van mechanically sound. Oh, and by the way, you should talk! Silence is ok, but your little voice is adorable.

    The best way to enjoy a Red Bull, in my opinion, is to sip it slowly until you have just enough, and then enjoy the rest gradually.

    Okay you need a cooking show on the food network called “ van life and great food” because everything you eat looks so good! I’m not a Chick a fil consumer but I had to try their Mac and cheese after watching your video. The drive thru line looked like the parent pick up lines at schools but I got in it and waited!
    You were right it was to good! I was shocked! 😂😂😂. They need to give you some freebies because I’m sure I’m not the only one who tried it after you video 😂😂😂

    Throw some Chia seeds and everything you eat up to a teaspoon a day to start. They’ll give you everything you need. And also, Portabella mushrooms, have more proteins than those white button, mushrooms, and FYI. Just eat the rice last, you’ll be surprised how full you’ll already be before you get to it

    Put all your marinade ingredients in the bag. Add mushrooms and turn your bag until they are coated. Put in the fridge to marinate.

Lawd the way you go on about food, your my whole foodie spirit animal. My soul loves your soul. Keep glowing girl. We love to see it. You had me skipping to the store, and spent $180 over my budget. But it’s gonna be sooooo worth it. F it one life to live and I want this same feeling from eating from this day forward. Periodt

    I absolutely love love love this channel!!! Something about people chewing and slurping food though.. it's me though, I just have to skip those parts :( ... I am an introvert as well, and I'll be traveling by train alone across the country for the 8th time... by God's grace, I will start van life sometime next year... I really think I will do van life a lot, how you do it. Thank you for sharing your inspiration! 🙏

    Hemp seeds are great! They taste great topped on fruit, or toasted! They are also a great source of the omega oils.

    I'm making this as soon as I can. I will skip on the mayonnaise. Never been a fan of it. I like portabella with spinach when I want something light and healthy. It's quick, easy and satisfying. BTW...you look really relaxed and glowing in this video. Take care and stay safe.

    Rice will ALWAYS be wherever I am!! I just had bariatric surgery almost 4 weeks ago and I'm almost back to full texture foods, which means my rice will be back, limited portions, but def on my plate.

  • @almurry8943

    I like the choice of seasonings you picked for your marinade for your mushroom burgers. I would mix all the ingredients for the marinade, pour it into the plastic bag and then put my mushrooms in the bag. You can then massage the marinade on the mushrooms through the bag. No messy hands and I think the marinade will taste better mixing all the ingredients together instead putting them on separately. Plus I think it would save you a little time. This is just a suggestion, not critisism (hope I spelled that right). Not a big mushroom fan but this is how I marinade my meat. I tend to do a lazy Keto diet. It helped me go from a size 16 to a size 12.

      Do you have a blender? Smoothies made with protein powders are a great way to add more into the diet - I use yogurt also when making at home.
