Glad to see u back. Love your videos. Gonna try all these recipes. They look delicious 😋.
Lovely video Monique! As soon as I saw on your IG stories I ran to YouTube 😂 great content as always ❤
Thanks for sharing recipes!
I always end up with too much celery too when I make chickpea salad. Usually what I do is dice the remaining up and freeze it to use later as a mirepoix for soup or when I cook beans. It's a good time saver and no waste
Loving seeing you again, you look so good.I still used your vegan chicken recipe see girl, you definitely inspired me. I eat a largely plant based diet but I eat seafood and eggs occasionally. Monique girl we are all human. Please keep those fabulous recipes coming that you are so gifted to do. May god continue to bless you and your family.❤❤❤❤
Long time vegan supporter! Thank you for inspiring me to start making new meals, I sometimes get stuck in a rut of eating the same things over and over and now I have some new ideas. Much love!
I love this video! Thanks for bringing back your chickpea tuna recipe.
I was watching your last video with a friend and she said she got some pretty teeth lol.
I would love for you to share your mushroom pasta recipe again. It's so good, and I shared the link so often. I need to take a screenshot of the recipe because I didn't save it from your previous channel.
I loved this video….grocery hauls and showing what you do with the food is perfect ❤❤❤
That's a lot of groceries for the price.
