one two three four five six split crazy going am I slowly one two three four five six switch
[Music]
so I read my comments and y'all are lazy and also broke and so am I I thought it would be
kind of a fun concept to do a full day of eating and upgrading convenience foods but totally vegan
so let's do that it's also like nude and I haven't eaten breakfast so let's start with breakfast
first convenience food is beans I have these like canned brown beans so I thought we could upgrade
a beans on toast I also think I have some hash browns in the freezer so let's see I have my like
air fryer toaster oven thing I'm gonna put them in there and now let's upgrade the beans so to
upgrade the beans I'm gonna add a couple things to it starting with some onion just because the smell
of onion and garlic is just the best so I'm just gonna saute some onions till they're translucent
when I said recipes for when you don't want to cook I really wasn't kidding I'm just standing
here waiting for this to cook itself yeah man I think all the recipes today are going to be
convenience foods and like low cooking less than 15 minutes and cheap [Music]
for the bread I have this Bavarian sandwich bread it's sourdough Rye which I love it's
like my favorite it looks like this that's gonna be our toast for our beans on toast
nailed it so good at my job
adding the beans
I'm gonna add a little bit of yellow mustard Canadian
so some maple syrup and a couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast
all right bring that to a simmer
so good already [Music]
untouched margarine I like lots of vegan margarine
I actually wanted the normal size hash browns but we got minis something like that
[Music]
some of your favorite plant-based cheese I have this like Quixote
style I mean I think that looks pretty good we need some garnish
I mean if that's not an upgraded beans on toast I don't know what is
okay this looks so good super easy to let's see
it's giving all the laziness of beans on toast but like
that is delicious it's breakfast is a success lazy food success on to lunch
[Music] a classic convenience food is instant Ramen in Canada Mr Noodles fun
fact the chicken flavor is vegan because it's simulated chicken so is the beef one
so you can use the chicken beef or vegetable one I'm thinking for this
I have some leftover sausage in the fridge so I'm gonna use that I also have this really nice
plant-based vegan parm we could do like a carbonara style Ramen see how it goes
foreign why do I work out if I can't even open Ramen packages there we go
boil some water I have some leftover sausage here so I'm just going to cut it up into little
pieces and that's going to be like the lardong or bacon or whatever kind of pork you use in a normal
carbonara I heat up some olive oil in another pan so I'm just going to throw that in there
and let that do its thing for like a minute two minutes I'm going to transfer this just any Bowl
and I'm just going to hold on to this liquid because I might need it for the
sauce our olive oil is hot so now I'm going to reheat this leftover sausage
so I'm just going to cook this until it's like kind of crispy and then add it to the ramen
okay so took that out now I'm gonna make the sauce so I'm gonna add some butter margarine soy milk
I'm going to come our sauce I'm gonna add the flavor packets nutritional yeast [Music]
vegan parm
I'm gonna add in some of the reserved cooking liquid just like as I need it so that it's a sauce
and not whatever this gloopy mess was I'm just gonna toss in the ramen noodles and the sausage
I mean it's kind of looking like a carbonara to me so we're done like
cooking it so I'm gonna add some black salt and that's gonna give
it like a sulfur flavor I can't have carbonara without Pepe let's use it
Well that took six minutes okay let's plate it [Music]
this looks so good and this sausage looks so much like pork
that is amazing it's so creamy I would probably use half the flavor packet next time because it
is a little bit salty but this is delicious okay you have to make this it's so good I'm
gonna link the full recipe in the description box because I will not be gatekeeping this one
that is amazing and so simple and cheap what are we making for dinner what do you want for dinner
[Music]
end of the day okay dinner time one thing I always have on hand for weeknight Nostalgia is a white
people Taco kit obviously this is nothing like traditional tacos it's Ducks Max but I like to
have this on a hand because it's super easy to throw together and make some vegan swap I like
to do the hard and soft chill because then you can take the soft shell and wrap around the hard
shell and then you get both and it's so good so let's do a vegan version of the Old El Paso taco
dinner kit we've got seasoning packet taco sauce we've got I think six of the hard shell six soft
gel for our meat I'm just gonna use impossible which is a bit more on the expensive side but
that's just what I had in my freezer you can also do the eaves which is like three dollars
for one of these so super super cheap and then for greens obviously traditionally you want like
lettuce I have slaw it's either broccoli slaw or cabbage or um cauliflower slaw oh and vegan cheese
okay so let's start with the meat we're gonna do it exactly how it says in the instructions
oh my God today is like does she work out does she there we go all right let's heat
up our pan why am I using this when I could be using the one that came with it
foreign whoops
taco seasoning [Music]
all right while that is cooking I like the crunch of a hard shell taco but as everyone knows they
are impossible to eat because they break so I like to take the soft shell and put it around
the hard shell and then like you get the crunch but like you have this seat belt here to hold
it all together like a life jacket but what's even better is when you put cheese in between
it so Daya Mexican four cheese flavor blend I'm gonna put that into a pan and melt it and then
stick the tortilla on top and then put the hard shell taco inside of that it acts like a glue
laughs [Music] cheesy soft hard shell life hacks okay so I have my greens here I'm just going to
add some lime juice just give it a quick toss oh God I'm making the best we need to start calling
this like Candace's chaotic kitchen because this is just it's I feel like it's getting
worse every week okay so I've also chopped up some Tomatoes fill it up let's make a taco
oh this is not gonna go well I can see already not too bad
ta-da [Music]
that's how you make Tex-Mex style tacos just vegan and it's really it's that simple
listen I have a more refined palette now but this will always be comforting to me so quick so simple
a little bit crunchy Gotta Love a cheap day of eating right that is a full day of eating cheap
convenience foods with some vegan hacks sprinkled in for you let me know if you have a convenience
food that you eat all the time and you want me to like upgrade it leave that in the comment section
down below because I would love some challenges from you guys at least all the recipes are in
the in the description box as well and let me know how you're liking these long-form videos
again now that I'm back home oh there too get out of my kitchen see you next time bye [Music]
