"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

I love watching her work. She is a phenomenal cook. I hope she comes out with a cookbook.

there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart

edit: here's her YouTube account, as well as her TikTok and Facebook :)

dandelion leaves contain a really good amount of vitamins A, C, & K, as well as good iron and calcium. as long as you're in a clean area where you know pesticides haven't been used & is free of pollutants, ie away from roads, as well as is clear of heavy metals! test your soil!, you can harvest however much you'd like!

I good tip is a really good protein smoothie/shake. You can put in a banana (for flavor and consistency), a protein powder (whatever flavor you like - I usually go with peanut butter and blueberry) and then whatever you want: berries, tropical fruits, spinach, etc. It's very tasty AND really healthy.

Homemade stir fry is a good source of protein, greens, and fiber AND tastes amazing. You can use pretty much any spices you like. Just make sure to add tumeric, since it doesn't change the flavor, but adds a ginormous list of health benefits. But do use black pepper, since that is what activates said benefits.

You also don't need a lot of stuff to make it with: just a frying pan, stirring spoon, a knife, and cutting board (but you can just use a plate).

Now, for the fitness staple: lean ground beef. Literally just throw it in a frying pan, break it up with a wooden spoon so as to not become a huge meatball, add salt and black pepper (and tumeric if you can), then add whatever else you want. Onions? Go for it. Garlic? Spectacular. Cayenne Pepper? Paprika? Allspice? Ground Cloves? Sriracha? Freaking ketchup? The sky's the limit (as long as you keep it manageable. Too many different spices can ruin the taste of anything). Then just eat with whatever is easier: slice of bread, rice, potatoes, etc.

In case of fiber, boil or bake some sweet potatoes with a little bit of salt (or don't). If not, you can always go with fruit or beans or seedy bread.

If y'all want recipes, let me know.

i hate to say it but. the healthy eating people are kinda onto something. if you can figure out a way to get all your greens and proteins and fiber in ways that taste good to you you start to prefer the healthy option over junk food 7/10 times

actually yknow what, no. this is not being limited to discord, yall get it too.

some general cooking tips (in which there is a brief senshi posession):

moisture is the enemy of crispy skin. pat dry with paper towel, and if you have the time and spoons, give a thorough but even coat of baking powder and let sit uncovered in your fridge overnight. this will dry out the skin nicely. for pork belly, create a tight foil boat so that only the skin is showing, and cover in salt to draw out moisture, repeating a couple times if necessary.

furikake seasoning, for the fellow rice lovers, is just nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, sugar, and msg/salt. you might have most if not all of these things already in your kitchen.

chai spice mix is just cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, & allspice.

pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

to cure your own bacon, you only need water, white and brown sugar, and a non-iodized salt - himalayan pink salt is not iodized, if you cannot find butchers curing pink salt. from there, you can add any seasoning/flavoring you want.

the truly adventurous may cook their rice in green tea for a fresh clean taste.

you can tell if a fish is truly fresh by their eyes - clear and bright is fresh, while cloudy is older or potentially has been frozen.

it's cheaper to buy a large block pack of ramen from your local asian market and repackage the bricks into sandwich bags, than to buy a box of individually packaged ones such as maruchan or top ramen.

when buying meat, look at it's fat content - more fat marbling usually means more tender + flavorful.

you can save onion skins and other vegetable scraps to make your own broth with. you can also save bones for this. mix and match ratios to create your ideal flavor.

bay leaf will always make a soup or broth taste better, but Watch Out (they are not fun to bite into on accident).

msg is, in fact, not The Devil, that was just a racist hate campaign against the chinese and other oriental races. it's literally just a type of salt. it is no more dangerous to eat than any other type of salt.

washing your rice is important because it not only improves flavor and texture by removing excess starch, but it also helps reduce any residual pesticides or dirt, or even insect fragments (please remember that rice paddies are essentially giant ponds that all kind of things live in and swim around. you should also be washing all your produce in general.)

please salt your cooking water for pastas, it just tastes better and you will be happier for it.

boiled potatoes are also improved by salt water.

if you hate vegetables, please consider trying them fried in butter or perhaps bacon grease. it is healthier to eat them fatty than not at all.

healthy food does not in fact have to taste miserable. thats a lie. they are lying to you. free yourself from your blandness shackles. enter a world of flavor.
