ππππSo I have a day off today and plan to chill watching TV. I donβt know about you guys but when I veg out I donβt really pay attention to what or how much Iβm eating so to ameliorate this I always prepare a plate of healthy nibbles that I can pick at. The pest thing I find is some kind of fruit as you get lots of flavour and goodness. ππππππππ

Like all mammals, cows must become pregnant in order to produce milk. In the dairy industry, each cow is repeatedly impregnated and her calves taken away shortly after birth in order for humans to drink her milk. Veal primarily comes from male calves, like Freedom (pictured), who are considered a βbyproductβ of the dairy industry.

Henny, what are some staple plants based vegan foods? I'm slowly easing myself into it and I wanna have some go-to foods. Mind helpin' a sis out?
ABSOLUTELYβIβm excited because I love food
I would love to help. Assuming you have no extra plant-based allergies, I really recommend:
A staple nut butterΒ or make your own (peanut, almond, cashew, sunflower, coconut) with the whole nuts.
A staple, perhaps complementary, dairy free milk or make your own (almond, cashew, oat, soy, coconut, hemp).
A staple set of VegetablesΒ that YOU like, because you donβt want something going to waste in your pantry or fridge just because you want to get into something you donβt like (unless you compost or make your own stockβ which you should/could!!)βLike think what do you like ROASTING what do you like GRILLING or PANFRYING.
For me, I love potatoes because I love carbs, my food pyramid has food pyramids for just carbsβBut Iβll get to that, trust me. I also love sweet peppers, I love them for their freshness and bite and nutrients but also they are so COLORFUL! And they come in different sizes, etc. Β Cherry tomatoes are so good for frying or baking for like bursts of like βorganicβ ketchup.
Now you also need greens, how do you like eating greens is what you need to consider. I love eating them raw and sometimes like plain or just avocado mash and lemon juice so spinach works for me because I can also sautee it and blend it. But kale, bok choy, escarole are some other alternatives that go great with pasta and soups or grilled so switch it up. I also like arugula, for salads and sandwiches.Β
So I love smoothies so Iβm also about fruits like bananas, avocados, berries, mango, anything honestlyβon sale the better. I love fruit because they freeze perfectly and then you can throw them in frozen and not use ice and itβs way better imo. I love avocados but Iβm only into them when I feel like I wanna be thicker and so I just add fats to my diet. Really great carbs, too. Pasta, rice, grains, starches (beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, potatoes), flours (I love baking because itβs easier and like less work for me, so many flours to choose from or make, oat flour, farina, whole wheat, coconut flour, brown rice flour. The more you bake and use these ingredients the better your future judgment will be). BREAD, because sometimes you donβt wanna bake or bread+fry, and you just want to toast!!!!
And then essential because itβs all about baking, crafting, and cooking for plant-based food you need a handy oil, or a handful of oils (olive oil, sesame, sunflower, coconut (refined and unrefined)), and maybe an easy vegan butter even but honestly one oil is fine for all of it, I just use oils on my body lol. Spices like cocoa, cinnamon are really big to me, and turmeric, pepper, rock salt, smoked paprika, because I like it more than normal, onion, garlic, cumin, pepper flakes,Β cayenne, and any other spice or herb blend you fancy because like itβs up to your buds.Β
I also like honey, like as an ingredient for food and skin care and for breakouts. Itβs regarded really high in my book and bees love it so much they work together and make it for free and donβt even mind sharing if you donβt fuck with the hive dynamics and cause drama. Also, like dips and sauces!! always switch it up and have your constants. Hot sauces, BBQs, dips, hummuses, hummi?(idk?) or tahinis, like things that add instant flavor or textures. Like there is just so much variety, use one buy another, or scroll down how to make your own.Β
Chia seeds are really good in a lot of ways so I think those are pretty important too because high in fiber, like beans and some veggies. I really recommend frozen veggies just as back up and like last minute plans and a quick and east meal, frozen fruits too (or if theyβre cheap and in seasonβbuy a lot and freeze). Also, think about soup stocks, make your own by saving vegetable scraps in a bag in your freezer and when it fills up use it to make a broth. I love making soups, chowders, curries, and a great base makes a great soup.Β
Of course, random vegan snacks are fun (toasts are the quickest things I like). Drink lots of water and get into teas, herbs, and nutrition in general because it could help you in some cool of ways.
Iβll add things if they come to me later.
