[Music] good morning guys welcome to another what eatting a day video today we’re making easy atome meals using simple ingredients and I’m not just doing this for the video this is really how I like to cook and I think it’s important to show because I really think there’s a misconception
When it comes to home cooking making homemade meals eating plant-based vegan food all of that I think people think that it has to be really complicated time consuming that you need to have specialty ingredients that are hard to find and that’s just not how I cook that’s not how I’ve
Ever cooked but especially since I’ve been vegan for about 8 and 1 half years at this point I’ve really learned how to simplify things and make really good food that tastes really good makes me feel good and uses simple ingredients that I can find at the regular grocery store so that is
What I’m going to be sharing with you guys today we’ve got a grocery haul and a really fun DIY for St Patty’s Day I’m calling it Shamrock bread and you really only need about five ingredients but
It’s really cute and I think that will be fun so we’ll do that together also going to do a little bit of kitchen organization too cuz it’s getting pretty cluttered in there so we’re going to make some adjustments and I did my meal plan yesterday for the week so I’m really
Looking forward to making dinner tonight so I’ll show you that later on in the video but for now I’m going to go ahead and get some work done on the computer and I will see you guys in a little bit [Music]
So I just made the bed and I wanted to thank Helix for teaming up with me on this portion of the video because we’ve had this mattress now for about a year and I wanted to give you guys
An update because it is so comfortable it’s actually the same mattress that I had back in LA and I didn’t want to part with it when we moved so we wrapped that mattress up put it
On a moving van shipped it out here to New Jersey and that’s the mattress that we had when we first moved into this apartment and we would still have that mattress except for the fact that we just wanted something a little bit bigger so we gave that mattress to a friend of ours
Who had just moved to New York City and this is the king-size version of that exact mattress it’s the Helix midnight Lux and Helix makes premium mattresses that are custom to fit your specific sleep needs and sleep preferences and you can take this really quick 30second sleep quiz to
Find the right mattress for you and I actually really recommend taking it because for me it was very counterintuitive I thought I wanted a mattress that was Fluffy and marshmallowy and super soft and cloudlike just because in theory I think that sounds really nice
But what I found from taking the quiz is that I actually need a bit more support and they ask you a number of questions to help you find the perfect mattress for you this one has a medium
Feel it’s reinforced on the Sid so it has good structure and it also has this breathable cover that allows air flow throughout the night when you’re laying on it so really helps to maintain
A nice temperature and I don’t get too hot or too cold so it is really really really nice to sleep on also takes into account that side sleepers sleep on your shoulders and on your hips and I
Am always really comfortable when I sleep on this mattress it’s delivered straight to your door and there’s free shipping within the US it comes all rolled up and it’s really easy to assemble I’ll actually insert some footage of us doing that last year and all of Helix mattresses come with
100 night sleep trials you can sleep on it for a 100 nights and make sure that you love it it also comes with a 10year warranty and they have financing options and flexible payment plans and
Helix was kind enough to offer my viewers 20% off and two free pillows if you click the link below so I would definitely take the Sleep quiz check it out see what kind of mattress is best for you
They have a ton of different options and if you click the link below that will get you that 20% off and two free pillows so I hope you guys enjoy that and thanks so much to Helix for supporting my [Music] videos [Music] He [Music] these cookies are fudg Min cookies from Back To Nature and whenever I want to boost the protein of a meal I’ll just pair it with the glass of soy milk it’s a really easy way to boost the protein by 8 to 14 G without having to buy any fancy protein
Powders all right here’s our dough it’s been rising for about 2 hours looks so good smells good already this part used to intimidate me but it’s actually very easy you’re just going to turn the bowl a quarter turn lift up the dough and then fold it over just repeat that a couple of
Times for about a minute or so and that will really help to give the bread a nice structure so the dough is resting right now and then later this afternoon we will go ahead and shape it and
Put on our Shamrocks which are actually made out of green bell peppers and they kind of look like little sham rocks you use the side pieces to make stems it’s really cute and it’s very easy
To do so we’ll do that later on I’m going to do some things around the house kind of tidy up a little bit and then I really want to get started on some kitchen organization because I do feel
Like things are getting really cluttered in there so we’ll do that [Music] together I used to get really over ambitious when I was organizing and I would get excited because cleaning one closet or
One cabinet felt really good so then I wanted to move on to do another or do a whole another room and I ended up having more of a mess than anything else so I like to keep these organization projects
Small stick to just one at a time even though it is tempting to do everything at once and that way it’s just so much more manageable one of the best parts about making fuka is you can
Change up the toppings every single time you make it and that will switch up the aesthetic and also the flavor so today I’m using green bell peppers and some flaky sea salt for St Patrick’s Day but you could use something like olives or sundried tomatoes garlic Rosemary there’s so many different
Options so I recommend getting creative and you can make a new one for any occasion or any season and come up with combinations that you personally love that’s the best part about cooking at home
Is you can make food that is custom to what you like so I like this one for St Patty’s Day and I like that the green peppers kind of make it taste like pizza it’s really great when served
With soups or salads I sometimes use this to make sandwiches and if you have any leftover you can just slice it up once it’s cool put it in an airtight contain container and freeze it
Until you’re ready to use and then just toast it as you need it like cuddled in a corner right now because this is the only place in my apartment that has even semide decent light the rain and
The clouds is making it very very patchy lightwise today so sorry if this is a super dark video but I am going to go ahead and get started on dinner it’s still a little bit early but I like to get
Dinner started before I’m super hungry because when I’m hungry I just want to eat right then and there and I feel like I don’t always make as healthy or as fun meals as I possibly could
So I like to do it early put on a podcast or a show and also kind of clean up a little bit so that way the rest of the evening is really nice we’ve got a good dinner the kitchen
Is pretty much clean and it’s just smooth sailing for the rest of the [Music] evening Oh I kind of look like a Cheeto bright orange cuz it has has turmeric in it this face mask but going to let this sit and then hop in the shower because one thing about me is I cannot wash my face especially not wash off a mask without just totally destroying the
Bathroom like I just get water absolutely everywhere I’ve tried so hard to like keep it very contained and not make a mess and I just end up with water on the floor water all over my products and everything it’s just not easy for me to wash my face in the sink so I’m
Going to hop in the shower and get ready for bed and that will be my night but I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you want to see some more what eight and a day videos I’ll put
Them on the screen and everything I mentioned will be in the description box below and if you have any questions you can leave me a comment cuz I love chatting with you guys
In the comments I hope you have a great rest of your day and I will see you in a video very soon bye
