toronto vegan bucket list part 2: Vegedelight Vegetarian | Toronto Best Vegetarian Restaurant

I’m trying to romanticize my life in Toronto a bit by pretend actually going to eat at restaurants - and have made a bucket list cuz it’s fun to add urgency by pretending I’m leaving Toronto tomorrow.

I’d been meaning to eat on this strip of Dundas for a while - it’s like another Chinatown!

We ordered:

1. Assorted vegetables on crispy rice (sooo good, loved the crispy rice)
2. Bbq lion’s mane mushroom skewers (very reminiscent of what I imagine Xinjiang skewers are like)
3. Sweet & sour lion’s mane mushroom (a classic! Really like how they did their sauce. Flavourful but not too sweet)
4. King oyster mushroom wraps (like a Peking duck - I always loved this as a kid. This was probably my fav of the meal)
5. Noodles on sesame oil lion’s mane mushroom soup (a nice warming soup bc I always need to make sure I eat something warm!)

As the waiter said: “that is quite some food!” Yes we ordered a lot, because of the vegan scarcity mindset. You never know when you’ll be able to eat good vegan food like this again lol.

Let me know your recommendations on where I should go next!

COCONUT GOCHUJANG LENTIL STEW. One pot, $1 per serving. Comment “RECIPE” and I will dm you the details.

This is the kind of meal that lets my partner and I stay under / around $50/week in groceries!

Lentils have a bit of a bad reputation - people say they are bland. I used to think that too. But it’s amazing what happens when you add fat, spice, salt, sugar, and vinegar (acid is a must!) it turns into something incredible. Even the humble lentil becomes delicious.

This sort of dinner is something I’d eat with rice and steamed veggies (usually bok choy). It’s cheap, and it’s easy. And the money I save goes into my investment account where I let it sit in the market. Over time, the money compounds and becomes a sum that really feels real. This is why I say that financial freedom starts in the kitchen, but you have to be intentional about it and cook meals that satisfy your hunger, nutrition needs, and budget (time and money wise!)

The recipe for this is in my ebook titled “How to Eat on $50/Week” which teaches exactly what the title says! It guides you through 6 meal formulas (not recipes) with a mix and match method that will teach you how to make countless meals, with 10 minutes of effort, for $50/week.

It also teaches you how to audit your finances so you can save, invest your savings, and grow your wealth.

One reader recently shared: “I’m still using the formulas and I can’t imagine how expensive my groceries would be if I hadn’t found your guide!”

My husband and I spend $50/week on food (sometimes in total, sometimes each!) and the key is: a system of meal formulas. Comment SYSTEM for the sign up link so you TOO can eat on $50/week!

This meal is my Coconut Curry Chickpea Stew, which is kind of like Chana Masala.

I made this following my “rice cooker stew” meal formula.

Instead of cooking random recipes with recipe-specific ingredients each week, we use meal formula which lets us use *one* shopping list where all the ingredients get used multiple times, and each meal takes ~15 minutes of active effort.

Bye bye decsion fatigue and bye bye $30 meal delivery!

Pick a formula, pick a flavour profile, and that’s all you have to decide.

You always know what to make, because 6 formulas expand into 15+ recipes each. Memorize 6 things, get 90 recipes!

That’s the system!

I built a weekly implementation guide so you can use it too:
- 3 recipes
- 2 formulas
- the cost breakdown (keeping you under your budget)
- and the shopping list
every week on Substack.

Comment SYSTEM and I’ll send you the link to sign up!
