What I eat and cook in a day! All vegan + using mostly pantry and freezer ingredients. Social distancing is hard and this is a time of major anxiety for a lot of us. So in this video I talked about routines and soothing stress. I hope it’s helpful and if nothing else, I hope this video will be a bright spot in your day!
I also shared some recipes that are quarantine/self isolation friendly and highly adaptable. Best of all, I made my nut-free, no soak Vegan Alfredo pasta! It’s lemony and delicious and perfect for those of you who have a nut allergy because it’s made with hemp seeds!
I hope you enjoy! The full recipe and more info is below 🙂

Thanks for keeping it real and being honest about how a lot of us are feeling right now ❤
oh my gosh, I didn't know you were a sommelier! Can you do a video on becoming a sommelier and all your favorite vegan wines? Love you!
I love her so much. Why can't everyone on social media be like her lol
One of my favorite videos lately!
Ah I love you said to grab a cup because I paused 30 sec in to make a lemon/ginger tea and feel like a chat with you. Desperate for all the connection rn hahaha. Thanks for showing up for us during this time! We love you bunches.
Relate!
Your personality is calming in general! I really liked this video
Great video, actually made me cry, which made me feel a little better and not so alone ❤️
Oh woah you steam the whole cauliflower even the stem and leaves… I shouldn't throw that part out
Omg that creamy pasta looks sooooo good! Thanks for keeping it real, girl. Your videos are always calming. <3
Nikki honestly I think I'm in love with you <3
#the boyfriend doesn't need to know
thanks for inspiring me constantly!
Thanks, Nicki, you are wonderful.
I am home all the time with Stage 4 cancer in my bones, so I can't work. I am only 51 but my life at home has been going on for years. Now with everyone at home it is hard for me to say, "told ya!" However, I miss people coming over and going out to eat. Most of the places I frequent have take out, but when one does not drive, it is harder than eating there.
I am curious how the world will be after all the questions are answered and the fear is less. What I see is:
1. Business Owners figure out they can have people working at home, so they will let people decide to stay home or not, or tell people they will work from home and sell the building.
1.a. for those empty buildings, make them into a homeless place for them to live
2. All the internet providers need to improve infrastructure generally. We can control our networking in our homes, but outside needs to be updated greatly now. Glips in networking cause work to suffer, so there may be lawsuits regarding this too.
I would appreciate if you, Nicki, or others, want to share how they see the world could be after this is over to help mitigate the anxiety.
Made your curry last week for meal prep and came to search for vegan pantry meals….thank you girl 🙂
I decided to fully quarantine yesterday. I am considered essential personnel because I work for an animal shelter. However, my fiancé is a firefighter/EMT and in this current situation, it's arguably more important to make sure he stays healthy than myself right now, so I decided to ask my boss if I could quarantine until further notice to lower my fiancé's chances of becoming infected. Yesterday? Feeling really good, feeling secure about my choice and in a great mood. Today? I burst into tears because I couldn't solve a riddle and ended up spiraling into a sobbing tangent about how everyone in the entire world things I have a low IQ, lol. We all have our days.
I sleep with a humidifier too
This is absolutely relatable. I have been trying to find a balance between having a routine and taking it easy and giving myself permission to not be hard on myself. I also have to acknowledge the fact that I am so grateful to be in a field that allows me to work from home and still get paid. Before all of this happened I had been desperately wanting out of my current field and was trying to think of ways to get out of it and look for alternatives. For whatever reason things did not work out and I stuck it out where I was. Now I am so grateful I didn’t leave when I wanted to and I know this was all for a reason.
Hi Nikki I hope your staying healthy and safe
Great video Nikki! Thank you. This type of video that you do is always very relaxing to me.
I love these so much!!
Your videos are so inspiring g! I love how honest and real you are. Take care and be safe ❤️
Thank you Nikki… love you
❤️
Life is definitely a struggle right now. Thank you for your honesty. I hope you keep finding ways to adapt and get through it. <3
Okay sauce with cauliflower scares me now lol! I don't know what I did wrong but the last one I tried with cauliflower, it came out too thick. I suppose I had too much cauliflower in the sauce. Cant wait to try this though because all of your recipes are DELISH!
Thanks, Nikki!
Something I’ve really enjoyed it only cooking enough for that one meal because getting to cook a a whole new meal two ish times a day is something that’s really enjoyable for me. I’m like the opposite of too busy to cook at this current moment. Almost too bored not to lol
Thank you again for being authentic!
