The broccoli rice could be stretched even further if you cut the stem into cubes or roughly small pieces and just cook it in water. It does take longer to cook than the rest of the broccoli, but it does soften eventually and provides just as much nutrition so you end up having more of the veg! :D

Dunno what you do with broccoli stems, but a local place slices them thin and pickles them. I'm pretty sure they just put them in spiced vinegar that tastes a bit like kimchee. I just use pickle juice or whatever I have. I love to have/get all kinds of flavored vinegars.

You are right about stock. It does make a difference. But it is quite expensive to buy and takes time to make. So I always keep some stock cubes to use instead, when needed. The posh foodies hate them, but I find it is just a matter of maybe reducing the added salt a little. Thank you for the video!

This black beans and rice dish was amazing. I used black soy beans (because that’s what I had on hand and needed to use up) and one cup left over frozen homegrown corn from last year as well as a can of regular diced tomatoes and it was so good! I topped mine with shredded pepper jack but it was just as good without the cheese. It was also good with some fresh made bread on the side. Very filling meal. Thanks! I’m making the chicken broccoli and rice tonight for the second time and it’s so good too. I haven’t tried the coconut lentil curry yet but I think I will soon. Naan bread on the side would be a must!

Tofu would be another sub that would make it even cheaper.you could add a little chicken bullion (vegan if you want it like that) I love veggie stock. There are so many yummy stocks you can use. I would use the stems of the broccoli kind of a small diced. Nutritional yeast could be used for a cheesy flavor. You can make a vegan cheese sauce for pennies. It uses carrots and potatoes garlic powder, onion powder and nutritional yeast.

I have had nasal congestion since October ! One doctor said it was caused by a virus another said allergies, and because I have post nasal drip I had mucus around the esophagus. Finally ! my sinuses are less clogged but it is working its' way through my throat . At the worst, I sounded like I was gasping for my last breath and having a heart attack so some people thought, others agreed when I said my talking was a combination of Deep Throat whispering and Darth Vadar neither attractive I assure you. Also, my nasal passages whistled lol I was a mess 😂 so, I understand you being congested hope you feel better. And thanks for the videos
