    Huge pasta hack especially for vegans - protein pasta!! Get pasta made with lentils or other beans so that you get a serving of protein.

    Absolutely. I'm vegan but I'm also heavily into powerlifting and bodybuilding. A high protein pasta makes all the difference!! I used to worry when I was a meat eater that I'd never get enough protein a day if I stopped, I now hit around 130g protein a day without any animal products. Best one for me is red lentil pasta, add in some tomato and basil sauce, lots of veggies, scrambled tofu and some roasted chickpeas for texture and bite and I'm in heaven.

    @@sloeginandsleep1170 chickpeas are the nectar of the gods to me lol. The most versatile of the legumes in my opinion. I'm not vegan but I'm environmentally and ethically conscious so I'm working towards vegetarian and especially with the grocery costs today I'm more focused on plant based proteins than ever. I can't eat any of the beyond or impossible products unfortunately, but I tolerate and actually LOVE tofu.

During these times, I never want to cook, so comforting but simple meals and ingredients are what I need.

    Haha about the "that's not a sausage" thing. My uncle has been a meat salesman and I have to argue with him at every family BBQ. My comeback is "Well, the word doesn't have anything to do with it's contents, it is the freaking form of serving the thing - the form, dough -.-" Don't know why he is insisting every time when he's actually the professional. My dad on the other hand loves my meatless options because they don't need to be cooked specifically, just be a litte brown on each side :D

    The word “meat” literally means “solid food” hence why back in earlier days desserts were called “sweet meats”. People who think “meat” has to be a dead animal whether in a sausage or a burger or whatever are just ignorant of the meaning of the word. Not only were there those Welsh sausages but in Asia Buddhist monks have made Seitan as a staple high protein nutritious part of their diet for a documented over 1000 years.

    I too came across Jambalaya during my bachelors at Uni and fell in love! I make it all the time! Also, top tip for those feeling they want variety on a budget but can't afford to buy more types of veggies (either due to money or storage) I 'tricked' myself into thinking I had more variety by chopping my veg different ways within the same meal - ie. half of a pepper in strips, the other half in chunks ☺️

    Mexican American here, and I think your inspired dish looks wonderful. Can't understand why people get bent out of shape over food descriptions. I've read it, but it seems like a waste of time. Have you ever done a video on starting up a basic vegan kitchen? A basic beginner's pantry staples, perishables, small appliances, sort of thing? I've seen the everyday shops, but was inquiring more after a setting up a vegan kitchen.

    I've made a similar mexican-inspired lasagna since my college days, but with corn tortillas and my favorite salsa. And sometimes I've cooked salsa together with some cumin, thinly sliced carrots, and cauliflower cut up small, which adds a nice variety of veg to it. I have also made a kind of casserole with refried beans on the bottom, salsa and stir fried veg (carrots, cauliflower, bell peppers, corn) on the next layer, then covered with cornbread batter on top and baked until the cornbread is done. I use masa harina and all purpose flour to make the cornbread batter. It's got a bit of a Tex-Mex vibe and super easy.
