FULL WEEK OF DELICIOUS & EASY PLANT-BASED FAMILY DINNERS UNDER $5//WFPB NO OIL//VEGAN//GLUTEN FREE

Hi everyone and welcome back.
A few months ago I made a video on delicious family dinners under $5 and it seems like most of you loved it. So, here is another full week of delicious and easy family meals under $5. Of course, the $5 is an average, some meals are slightly over, some slightly under. And it also depends on where you live, but bottomline, all of these dinners are very inexpensive, easy to make and super satisfying.
All the recipes are below, enjoy and let me know which your favorite is.

2 garlic gloves
1/2 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

Dice onion, mince garlic and saute both in a bit of water. Cut tomatoes into small pieces and add to pot. Add all other ingredients, mix well and simmer for about 10 min.

Preheat oven to 375F
Cook lentils in 3 cups of water of vegetable broth for about 15 min or until done. In the meantime cut top of bell peppers and take out the seeds.
Once lentils are done, mix all other ingredients and stuff into bell peppers. Bake on lined baking sheet for about 30-40 min, depending on your oven.
These heat up really nicely the next day.

Bake for about 25-35 min or until potatoes are slightly caramelized
In the meantime mix all sauce ingredients until you get a runny consistency.
Once potatoes are done, put in a bowl, add chickpeas and vegetables and top with sauce.

oh my!! all this recipes look so delicious!! Specially the ones with coconut milk!

Reply
Robin Petersson says:

Coconut milk is not a whole food and contains a lot of unhealthy saturated fats. But it's easy to put a fistful of cashews in a blender with water to get a rich and creamy whole milk. You don't need many nuts to get it very creamy.

Fresh chickpeas are the best. I make mine in my ninja foodie pressure cooker…They do say cod rice is best for stir fry. All these look so yummy. Our cauliflower goes up to six bucks some times. I buy frozen. May have to try these. Specially the Cauliflower with chickpeas… Rice noodles are yummy. That looked really good. And I don't care for Brussels. May have to try it again though…Taste buds change. 😊
