Tumblr just put a fcuking harry potter post on my feed as a "recommendation based on your likes"

Why not recommend me smallpox next. Or arthritis maybe.

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I'd pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It's very simple in places. It's basically the cookbook for people who think, 'I'm really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can't think of anything else to cook that won't exhaust me'. And it's free!

Psst. Anyone got any good recipes for cooking on a budget? Resources on effective meal-planning are also welcomed.

So, I've been eating these regularly and my small achievement of the month is finally graduating that these:

- now have the same level of spice to me as the normal ones. Gonna work my way up to 3xspicy now.

Every time we have the pesto egg honey grilled cheese for dinner I think “eh this isn’t going to be as good as I remember it being” but it is

Hey so I made this honey chili ginger chicken stuff yesterday and I want to eat about seven pounds of it because it's so fucking good so have a recipe:

Ingredients:

3 large chicken thighs, cubed

3 green onions finely sliced

1/3 cup of honey

2tbsp ginger paste

3tbsp Siracha sauce

8 garlic cloves, chopped

1tbsp cayenne pepper

2tbsp tamari

1 medium potato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

cooking oil

a few tablespoons of flour

Heat the oil over medium temperature in a large pan and add the cubed chicken and the garlic to the pan. Brown the chicken while prepping the other ingredients. Once the chicken is lightly browned, stir a few 2-4 tablespoons of flour into the pan (enough to lightly coat the chicken but no sot much that it gets clumpy), then add honey, siracha, and tamari and mix, ensuring that there are no lumps of flour. Add the spices, then stir frequently and heat over medium until chicken is cooked. Mix in the potato and green onion, cover, and reduce the temperature. Cook on low for 40 minutes.

Serve it over rice.

This would 100% kick ass if you threw in some sugar snap peas or green bell pepper.

my friends, it's hamantaschen time. the traditional Jewish triangular pastry with a multi-lingual pun for a name has returned.

are you in need of a good hamantaschen recipe? well look no further! I now present to you my family's tried and true recipe for delicious and objectively the best hamantaschen!

dough ingredients:

3 cups flour

4 egg yolks (yellow only)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup orange juice

2 margarine sticks, softened

2 tsp baking powder

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Mix everything together EXCEPT the flour. Then, slowly sift (or just like.... gently pour) the flour in one cup at a time while mixing, until the dough comes easily away from the bowl. It should be able to easily stick to itself, but not your hands. (You might not need all of the flour, so keep an eye on your dough.)

Flour your working surface and your rolling pin very well, and roll out half the dough until it's about 1/4 inch thick I think? I've never measured the thickness tbh but it shouldn't be too thin or thick. You don't want it to split in the oven, and you don't want it the ratio of cookie-to-filling to be off.

Take a glass/cup and cut out circles in your rolled out dough.

For the filling, you can use whatever you want! Popular fillings include nutella and strawberry or apricot jam, as well as poppy seed paste and prune butter.

also, yes this *will* make a mess. that's part of the fun! I always thought making hamantaschen was like an arts and crafts activity.

Now, take a small bit of your chosen filling and place it in the center of one of the circles. You'll need less than you think! It should probably be about a nickel sized dollop. Bring the bottom, left, and right sides of the circle up to the same point to create a triangular shape. Pinch closed in the center and along the seams *very* well, otherwise they might split in the oven!

Some people leave an opening in the center, but I always like to pinch them closed all the way because it helps them keep the classic triangle shape.

They should look something like this:

Repeat with the rest of the circles. Gather up the extra dough from between the circles and re-roll it out, but don't forget to re-flour your surface and rolling pin! Continue with the rest of the dough until you're done.

Set them on a well oiled pan about an inch apart and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops begin to turn brown.

Eat and enjoy!

*note for non-Jews: yes you too can make hamantaschen! this is a cultural food that doesn't have significant religious implications. however, please remember to appreciate, and not appropriate, our culture. learn the history of what you're making! baking this yummy treat out of genuine curiosity is fine: celebrating our holidays on your own is not. ❤
