Do you wonderful bitches or any members of the bitch nation have any advice on cooking for one? I’ll be moving out on my own soon and any tips would be much appreciated
(Sorry, I couldn't help myself. That sad baked potato is just so eloquent.)
I love this question! Let's crowdsource it, Bitch Nation: any advice on how to cook for one?
My advice, as a frugal bitch who usually cooks for 2, is to embrace leftovers. Cook stuff that keeps well for 2-4 people, put your leftovers in containers, and eat them for your next meal. Saves time on cooking and cuts out the hassle of figuring out how to cook for 1.
If You Don’t Eat Leftovers I Don’t Even Want To Know You
50 grams of vegan hazelnut spread (I use natures store)
175 grams of brown sugar
I tablespoon of coffee powder
300 grams of plain flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
200 grams of vegan chocolate.(I blended 100grams of dark chocolate with 100 grams of galaxy vegan chocolate.
Instructions-
First start off by melting your butter in a large baking bowl before adding 50 grams of hazelnut spread.
Mix the two together till well combined and you now have a bowl of chocolatey goodness. From here pour in your 175 grams of sugar and mix that in till well combined.
Here in a separate bowl I prepare a small cup of coffee with 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder with 100 ml of water. I only added around 1-2 tablespoons into the batter. You don’t need much of this. A little goes a long way! We want the coffee to bring out the chocolate without giving it a coffee flavour.
Once these are mixed together, sieve in 300 grams on plain flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder before folding it in.
In the mean time we can prepare our chocolate. You have creativity liberty at this moment, you can add any vegan chocolate you want. I personally went for 100g of dark 70% chocolate and 100g of galaxy vegan chocolate. Add your chunks of chocolate to the batter ( maybe sneaking a few tasting pieces ) and fold it in.
Now for best result I recommend letting your dough sit for a while in the fridge. I left mine for 40 minuets but you could even go over night if you wanted to.
Once those agonising 40 minuets is up, it’s time to bake! I used an ice cream scooper to get even(ish) cookies. With my heaping spoon this recipe made 11 cookies. But you could make more or less depending on your sizing.
Once placed on a foil baking tray, place these bad boys in a preheated oven, 180 degree fan or 200 normal. My oven tends to run on the hot side so I preheat mine for 150 degrees and baked them for 15 minutes.
The wait is not over yet! To save your mouth and your cookies from crumbling I recommend waiting at least 5 minuets once you get these babies out of the oven to let them settle while still keeping that ooey gooey centre.
When you cook a lot. You gotta shop a lot. That’s a law of the universe. Can’t get around it. I try to stay on the outside of the grocery store. Fresh Whole Foods baby !!! Gotta keep this natural body healthy and happy 🍒🍓🫑🍖🍗🥩
The average American spends over $3,000 a year dining out—almost as much as they spend on groceries. Sadly, the bulk of that spending comes from young people. Millennials spend 44% of their food budget on dining out and ordering in.
There’s a lot of reasons why millennials spend more money dining out than other generations.
