- Oh hey friends.
Welcome to "Edgy Veg" quarantine edition.
Hey guys.
If you don't know me, hi, I'm Candice the Edgy Veg,
and this is Louis, not the Edgy Veg.
- Hello.
- Today is another What I Eat in a Day,
but quarantine edition.
So we have been told to socially distance, isolate,
quarantine ourselves from the world,
but thank you to technology,
we can still stay in touch with you guys,
still make the videos for you to give you a sense
of normalcy during this time.
We thought we'd show you guys what we were eating while
we were stuck at home socially isolating.
- Hey, it's a banana.
- For breakfast, keeping it simple.
And coffee.
- I'm eating more than that for breakfast.
I mean I had a bagel, and then I may have had a brownie.
And then I had a protein shake.
- Okay, anyway. And now a banana.
- He clearly doesn't get how
What I Eat in a Day videos work.
He's already eaten those.
I will just be having a banana.
He has like five breakfasts, apparently.
And filming a couple videos about like how we prepped
for this thing, and hanging out with the dogs.
Gonna show you guys what we eat.
I hope you guys are all doing well.
I hope that you are safe.
I hope that you are quarantining
to get this thing under control.
Aw, look at little Winston.
- Winston is also very concerned for everyone,
and he says, "Stay safe out there."

so you can see our faces every single week.
Twice a week at 4:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I guess I'll see you at lunch.
Hi buddy.
Looking for attention?
Do you have any thoughts?
- Anything?
He's a man of few words and deep thoughts.
- Oh, where's little Harley girl, huh?
There's Harley.
Apparently decided that she's going to be playing
with my headphones over there.
Harley.
She's taking her morning nap.
It's lunchtime, but last night I made some cauliflower
and chickpea masala curry.
I think that's what we're gonna have for lunch
with this leftover rice that I made in my Instant Pot.
So this is our fridge.
So I've prepped a lot of things.
It looks very brown, but it's actually cream
of broccoli soup. - [Louis] Mm-hmm!
It's brown because I use leftover roasted broccoli
that I had to make this soup,
so that's why it's kinda brown,
and then I also didn't have cashews on hand
that I wanted to use for that.
I wanna use the cashews for something else,
so I used walnuts, and it's really good.
It was just Better Than Bouillon, roasted broccoli,
nutritional yeast and walnuts.
Oh, and onions.
I threw leftover onions in there too.
- [Louis] And it tasted good.
- So this is the curry I made last night.
It's kinda loose, like watery,
but that's okay 'cause we were eating it with rice.
We tend to get sick of eating the same thing multiple days
in a row, so we'll probably eat this one more time,
and then use whatever's leftover for some, sort of,
like curried soup I think.
Louis and I live in separate places.
He went to his place yesterday to grab anything that he had.
So he actually has these Greek style pitas.
So I'm going to heat them up,
and it'll be a nice addition alongside our rice and curry.
I figured, for just the sake of easiness,
we use all of the leftover rice because Louis has one heck
of an appetite.
And why heat things up separately if you're putting them all
in the same bowl anyway?
Pour in our curry.
So this is a chickpea and cauliflower curry.
It's a chana masala with cauliflower.
And I made this in my pressure cooker,
and it was super easy.
All I did was put garlic and onions,
and I soaked the chickpeas overnight,
soaked chickpeas with the chana masala mix
in my Instant Pot, threw in the cauliflower
and pressure cooked it for 20 minutes, and that was it.
Didn't even need salt or pepper.
All right, so I'm gonna heat this up.
Louis likes his pita bread fried.
I like mine heated in the oven
because I'm just tryna watch my oil intake.
There's nothing wrong with oil.
Oil is great.
There's always, you know, the possibility
of there being too much of a good thing.
So I'm just tryna watch that because I'm trying
to have some fitness goals, you know?
Oh, so what do you have here?
- Oh, so being, obviously the most skilled person in
the kitchen in this household,
I like to pan fry my pita in a little bit of olive oil.
As it kinda helps--
- [Candice] Is that a little bit of olive oil?
Is that a (high-pitched gibberish)
- It's about a tablespoon of olive oil.
It's not that much.
- [Candice] It's about a quarter cup.
- Psst, it's not a quarter cup.
(Candice laughing)
Don't lie to the kind people on YouTube.
They don't like that.
And I find it helps keep the pita nice and moist
and tasty and who doesn't like something that's--
- [Candice] Moist and tasty?
- Yeah, moist and tasty. (laughs)
Yeah, who doesn't like moist and tasty?
- Okay, here we have Louis' lunch.
So we have his fried naan.
We have the chana masala with some cauliflower and rice.
Bon appetite.
All right and here is mine with my steamed in the oven
with parchment paper naan which is moist and delightful
and baby soft.
What are you doing?
- I'm perusing the gram and enjoying
a spot of lunch, you know?
- [Candice] Just a spot?
- Just a spot.
You know, pip pip cheerio type thing, you know.
- [Candice] Okay, goodbye.
- [Louis] How is it?
- So good, Mm.
- [Louis] It's better the next day.
- Oh yeah.
Curry's always better the longer it sits.
It's so good.
- [Louis] I find the spice isn't as bad
as it was last night.
- Bad?
- [Louis] Well you know me and spice.
I don't mean bad.
I mean-- - Like spicy?
- [Louis] Spicy. It's was too spicy.
- [Louis] But now it's really nice.
- This naan is so buttery soft.
- [Louis} You just wanna keep rubbing that in don't ya?
- Mm-hmm.
I am ready for you brownie friend.
You are mine.
I've also been monitoring how much water I'm drinking daily
by refilling this guy two to four times depending
on the day.
- And now, me eating a brownie.
(groans)
(bouncy deep bass music)
It's been a rough couple days.
I'm bored.
- We're just doing a little dance.
- [Louis] Yes, he looks restless.
They're being so good.
- [Candice] They're being the best.
- [Louis] Aren't you Harley?
(laughs)
I think she's kinda jealous.
- [Candice] He almost never lets me do this.
This is...
- [Louis] This is very rare.
- This is very rare that he lets me snuggle him like this.
- [Louis] Harley's pissed off.
(Candice laughs)
- That's nice.
- [Louis] That's also nothing new.
- Oh, oh, oh there we go.
Gotcha.
- [Louis] (laughing) Winston.
- [Candice] He knows that it's coming.
- [Louis] Yeah, just hates it.
Oh hi.
- Hi.
This is the content everyone's here for.
- [Louis] Yeah.
- Is dogs (laughs) with clothes.
- [Louis] It's the golden nugget content.
- [Candice] Right?
Okay, we're almost ready.
We've just gotta put this guy on.
Dog walkin' time.
- It's the best part of the day.
- Harley and I have the same outfit on today.
- [Louis] Fairly spring ensemble.
- (laughs) Harley where are you going?
- [Louis] Whatcha doing?
- Ran out of toilet paper.
If you run out of something,
go to like your local convenience store,
and then you're likely to find something.
Especially big box chains.
But I'm wiping everything down with just these Lysol wipes.
'Cause you don't know who's touched it.
Dinnertime.
I've kind of gone through the pantry to take a look at
what we have.
We went out briefly, like I had mentioned earlier,
but there really was no fresh produce at all available
in the grocery store closest to us.
So I thought, because I was able
to pick up some whole tomatoes,
there weren't a lot of like unseasoned, diced tomatoes left,
so I grabbed some whole tomatoes.
I think what I'm going to do is make a rose sauce.
I cooked some chickpeas in my Instant Pot last night,
so to make it creamy, for the rose part,
I'm going to use chickpeas and nutritional yeast
and then just use all the other stuff that I would use
in a normal like tomato, pomodoro sauce.
So we have some oregano, onion powder, basil leaves.
I just wanted to give you guys a good idea of the things
that you can make using only non-perishable ingredients
that you could have lying around.
The first thing I'm going to do is toss a bunch
of these ingredients into my blender.
All right, so I'm using the blender
because I could find only whole tomatoes,
so I'm just gonna blend them up in there.
I'm going to add some chickpeas.
I wanna add about a cup.
What this'll do is add like a creaminess to it.
So that's where you'll get kind of the rose aspect
of this sauce.
And then I think I'm going to add about two tablespoons
of nutritional yeast.
Again, that'll make it nice and creamy like a rose.
We're going to add the spices
in once I'm heating it over the stove.
(blender whirring)
So it's like a pink, blush rose sauce.
All right now I'm going to add this to just a pan.
I found these artichoke hearts, jarred artichoke hearts.
I actually wanted to cook these first,
but I might as well just throw them in now.
I'm going to chop these and add them in here as well.
Teaspoon of oregano, teaspoon of basil.
Because chances are that you don't have a lot
of fresh produce on hand, I'm going to use garlic powder
and onion powder instead of the actual fresh produce itself.
Or I guess in this case it's garlic granules.
And then some salt and pepper.
(cracking)
All right so I'm going to bring that to a boil
and then reduce it to a simmer.
And while I'm waiting for that to come up to temperature,
I'm just gonna chop up some things
that I can add to the sauce.
So, like I said, I found some artichoke hearts.
I also have some capers, and I also have some olives.
Louis doesn't like capers or olives,
so I'm gonna chop those up for my pasta.
- [Louis] I like capers.
- You like capers?
- [Louis] Yeah, I don't mind 'em.
- Okay.
So this is just all jarred things I could find,
so capers, olives, I have these.
I'm just gonna chop 'em.
If I had some frozen spinach or kale, I would use that,
but I ran out.
So I'm gonna go get some of that,
and I'll show you other recipes you can use with those.
Okay, for the pasta just use whatever you have.
This sauce also makes enough, probably for like four
to six people.
There's only two of us, so I will keep the sauce
and repurpose it into something else tomorrow.
(pasta tinkling)
(knife cutting)
I'm just gonna add some chickpeas into this pasta.
These again, are the same chickpeas I used in
the actual blender just for some heartiness
to add some added protein to this.
Help us keep ourselves fuller for longer.
And then I've gone ahead and drained the pasta as well.
Okay, so this is the pot I used with the pasta,
so I'm going to add a little bit of sauce on the bottom
just because I'm going to add the pasta back in here,
and I don't want it to stick.
Add the pasta back in.
And that was a mixture of all the different loose pieces
of pasta that I had, so there wasn't enough
of any one type of pasta to warrant keeping the box.
So there's like three different types of pastas in here,
and what I'm going to do is add the sauce to the pasta.
Just a little bit.
I just want to coat the pasta in a little bit of sauce,
and then each person...
Well, I like a lot of sauce.
Louis doesn't like a lot of sauce,
so Louis afterwards won't add more sauce, but I will.
So then I can add my excess sauce and also my olives.
So Louis, this one's yours.
- [Louis] Mm-hmm.
- [Candice] So I give you a lot of pasta.
- [Louis] Yeah.
- [Candice] I like a lot of sauce.
That's the sauce I'm gonna use,
but then I also have my olives here.
So I'm just gonna throw those on top.
It'll be a really salty pasta.
I'm very excited.
How is your canned and jarred food only pasta?
- It's actually outstanding.
- [Candice] Yeah?
- Yeah, no salt required.
The chickpeas being added was a nice touch.
It helps fill you up.
- [Candice] Makes it creamy right?
- [Louis] Yep, this is a good like cold day stick
to your bones kinda dinner.
- Yay, I'm almost done mine.
I almost forgot to show you guys that we were eating it.
They want for many things,
but specifically right now they want for pasta.
Right dude?
All right guys, I have my yoga mat here.
I'm going to do a live video
with some of the ladies from my favorite Pilates studio.
Yay, I love community.
(bouncy bass music)
So my yoga studio, Pilates studio, movement studio,
MISFITSTUDIO here in Toronto
is doing these live Instagram classes.
So three times a day they are doing live classes,
and you can follow along.
And then the last one gets saved until
the next live is recorded.
All right, so that is what we ate during a day
of quarantine.
Let me know what guys think of these videos.
