okay so if you need more veggies/fruit, protein or fibre (bc most people do NOT eat enough) in your diet but you struggle to do so, hear me out:

look up recipes (especially snack recipes) that are child/toddler/baby-friendly

i can guarantee there is a woman with a cooking blog out there who has found away to pack a bunch of vegetables into a surprisingly delicious little snack for her kids. this process has never failed me when i feel like i am not eating enough fruits and veggies. my entire flat is eating spinach muffins at the moment, which doesn’t sounding particularly appealing to most people and yet somehow. they’re delicious.

hearty peasant fare: a mess of pottage, or possibly a pot of message

6 oz meat - 1/2 package of bacon or similar. If it doesn't have its own fat you'll also need a bit of oil. 1/2 lb dried split peas 1/4 lb barley 1/2 large onion or 1 smaller one, sweet white is good 1/2 rutabaga, or maybe a large turnip 2 or 3 parsnips - can use carrots instead, but parsnips are less sweet and have more of that Fresh carroty scent and flavor so I like them better 6-8 cups liquid - water or stock bay leaf, black pepper, thyme, sage, tarragon, and caraway to taste. if your meat doesn't have salt in, salt here.

Cut the meat into small bite size pieces and brown it properly over medium heat; while it's cooking chop the onion fine and add it once the meat is cooked through and nicely brown. Once the onion is translucent add the peas, barley, seasonings, and liquid. Peel and chop the rutabaga and parsnips small but not too fine, add them as well, bring to a boil, then turn down low, cover incompletely, and let simmer until everything is soft and edible.

Takes maybe 20-30 minutes of chopping and assembling and around an hour of simmering; if you are eating this by yourself you will have Leftovers For Days.

I made Hungarian mushroom soup and it's a little too delicious to be real

A reminder that sell-buy dates or best-used-by dates are not the same as expiration dates.

I love that a food bank is providing this info as they are experts in stretching food budgets and knowledgable in shelf-stable food items

There need to be like, regular PSAs or something about how easy it is to make dumplings. There is a reason every culture on earth has some variation of dumpling.

Take some starch. Get it wet. Make a dough. Make some filling. Put the filling in the dough. Cook it. You have achived the ideal foodstuff.

Mix and match with what you have available. There are ways to do this wrong but like. You have to really fuck it up. Like. Burn down the house kinda fuck up. Infinite variety. Use rice, flour, cornmeal, potatoes, yeast, whatever. Boil it, fry it, bake it, steam it, someone has done it like that before you. Meats, cheeses, veggies, mushrooms, fruits, sweets, baby Jesus figurines, anything goes.

Go forth and make dumplings.

I look for recipes that are easy to make as depression meals, taste good to me because if I don't like the food I will end up starving myself rather than eat it, and are good for struggling with high cholesterol.

Immediately every online space is trying to rush me towards some "organic, no chemicals, no GMOs!" direction. Alternatively, trying to rush me into an eating disorder.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

Cannot stress enough how much you need to get on this stir fry shit. Newly living alone and don't know how to cook? Stir fry. Saturday morning after a rough night and need to whip up something tasty and hearty in a hurry? Stir fry. Approaching your thirties and deciding you need to eat healthier, balanced meals? Stir fry. Pick yourself out a protein, a starch, and like three veggies. More if you want. Then, simply stir and fry

do it. heat a little milk gently. stop when its fizzing at the edge. add lemon juice and wait for it to separate. strain it with something fine. leave it to drain overnight. weigh it down with your heaviest pot. look at it in the morning. there. you have paneer. crumble it over your toast. eat it with just a little salt and pepper. add delicacy to your stir fry. cut it into cubes for your palak paneer and let it melt in your mouth. don't forget to freeze the whey for your beverages.
