Welcome back lovely people. This week, I decided to take you out food shopping with me, to show you the vegan food I buy, how I try and chose sustainable options but also stick to a budget.
I also show you how I organise our pantry in our tiny home kitchen and some clever space saving tips for being organised in a small space. I've linked the digital guides I mentioned down below.
Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss part two, where I will be showing you all the healthy and low cost vegan meals I eat in a typical week.
Thank you as always for watching.

I changed to a mostly vegan diet a year and a half ago, and have been very happy with my decision. It's great to see a channel about rural living that also mentions a vegan diet. Rural and vegan are less common together in the US.

I've just discovered your channel this week and enjoy watching your videos. The scenery is stunning and I love how calm and peaceful your videos are. I have been often to the UK but not to Scotland yet, except for three days in Edinburgh. The only thing when visiting the UK that makes me feel a bit sad and shocked is the amount of plastic packaging that is used, especially for fruits and vegs. I've been vegan for about 8 years and before I was vegetarian for more than 20 years. I'm looking forward to watching all of your other videos 🙂

I would think a i ore is probably more catered to tourists too which doesn’t help you. I’ve got an hour and 45 minutes drive to a big supermarket. It’s a full day trip. I try and do a monthly/ six weeks shop. In Nova Scotia all organic stuff in supermarkets is in plastic, it’s awful.

Discovered you recently, your videos are so refreshing. I’m an oldie, but can always pick up more tips. Hope you don’t mind me saying, bananas go off quicker if put with other fruit. A banana hanger is good, or just a separate bowl,xx I liked your recent make up video too, going to try merit make up too.x

Hi Molly My first view of your channel Thank you very informative. FYI Gittermary Johanson has a good video about organic food and plastic packaging and what has the greater impact. Nice to watch a vegan channel that isn’t sponsored by a silk company or a cashmere sweater company and where the author doesn’t slip the odd egg into her weekly food prep 🫤 Thanks again. Jane

Hello I'm new on your channel and I love it! I'm in love with Scotland since I was a child. I'm French and I was so surprised to see the price of Alpro milk! Here in France it's about 2.30 euros a litre! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely life in your beautiful country. It makes me feel as I were in Scotland for a while. 😍

My mom used to make the most delicious butternut squash casserole at holidays. We didn't like sweet potato casserole, so she used the squash, with pecans and brown sugar and butter and cinnamon. So delicious.

Hi Molly, another fab vlog, thank you. I feel your pain with food packaging and always go for loose if available. Like yourself I have those reusable mesh bags, often sparks a conversation at the checkout😉. Whilst I don't live in a Tiny home, my kitchen is quite small and every inch has to work and also it would be great to see more content on meal planning. I adore my slow cooker and am often doing a butternut squash and chickpea curry in it...and those squashes never seem to go off do they 😉.xx

Organic comes in plastic so it isn’t cross contamiby toxins from regular produce! Always go for the organic thoigh amd write to the customer service, together we can change this!

Great video. I’ve been a vegan for over 3 years although I do now eat local farm eggs occasionally due to having a sensitive stomach. Didn’t know about the accidentally vegan garlic bread, a great find, so I will be buying that as I love garlic bread and miss having it. Thank you. Look forward to seeing your meal plan ideas. xx

Hello again Molly. I so enjoyed your vegan food shop, and your choices. The shelf prices listed on the Oatly and Soy milk are similar to what I pay at a supermarket in South Australia. I mainly buy my blueberries frozen as they are much cheaper than fresh and perfect for my morning rolled oats porridge. I also add a little sliced banana or apple and top with a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds. I cook my oats in water first and pour oat milk over the top before eating. My husband (like your partner) is also a meat eater so meals can be challenging in our house. He does eat far less meat than he used to and enjoys quite a few of my vegan recipes. I can never come to terms with a beautiful animal served up on a plate, there is no such thing as humane slaughter! Now I am looking forward to watching part two of your vlog following this. PS those strawberries looked beautiful! 🐾🦋

have you ever considered writing to the customer service about the packaging? I did it years ago, told my friends about it, gave them the email address and in the end the grocery stores are selling more unpackaged fruit and veggies now because they saw the demand!

Really good organizing!! I wanted to mention that my book arrived today: “Hare”! I had to order it as I’m in California… and I’m so happy I did; the art on the cover alone is lovely. :). I am just wondering, do you happen to know how difficult it is, if one buys a plot of land in UK, to build a small home to place on it? We have a sketch in mind, and it wouldn’t be small enough to be a tiny house on wheels, would be about 500 square feet. I just noticed that whenever there is property/land for sale in UK, if the planning permission is already given, the standard is usually a conventional home: 3 bedrooms/2 loos, etc., which is not what we want. Anyway, we are starting to research all of this, just wondered if you have any insight. Have a good week!

How do you get your B vitamins. I found that I was exhausted being vegan. I'm pescaterian now, because the B vitamins in meat were keeping me from being to exhausted to go to work. I want to be vegan but B pills don't work well for me. What do you do?

@hippyhighlandliving 2 жыл бұрын

I've not found that to be a problem to be honest. I do have B12 as a supplement but no other B vitamins. I'm sorry that's not very helpful! 💚

@KerstinMamma Жыл бұрын

Nutritional Yeast, vegan dairy products and meats could have loads of B vitamins if you buy the correct products but there are 3 different types of B12 supplements and different ways of supplementing like pills, liquid, spray and injection. There are so many ways to get B12. B12 deficiency exists in all groups of diets including pescaterian. Did you actually check your blood or are you like every other non-vegans online and go on feelings instead of facts?

@bearclaire Жыл бұрын

Was also going to suggest nutrional yeast. Can sprinkle it on basically anything. Goes nice on your salad or veggies. Can also out it on porridge etc
