#Black Pepper Chicken Spaghetti

[buffetlicious]

Took the free shuttle bus to Sembawang Shopping Centre to do some grocery shopping and for dinner. Headed down the travelator to Saizeriya (サイゼリヤ) located at the basement for our meal. Order the Nacho Bacon Potato (S$3.90) appetizer for sharing between the two of us. Wedges of potato smothered with nacho cheese sauce and bits of bacons are just so yummy.

Mum had the Black Pepper Chicken Spaghetti (S$5.90) which came with cubes of grilled chicken in black pepper sauce. Portion wise, it is just the right amount for my mother as she is not a big eater.

I went for the thin crusted Mushroom & Bacon Pizza (S$7.90). The edge is crispy as I sliced through it with the provided pizza cutter. Nice amount of toppings with ample stringy cheese on a tomato-based sauce.

Zucchini Salmon Bake

"Glass, you're a witch."

"Oh?"

"How do you make salmon taste like a spaghetti bake? I think part of it's the Asiago..."

8 frozen salmon steaks(? Don't know what to call them), skinless

2 zucchini, halved lengthwise and finely sliced

6oz Asiago cheese, grated and divided

2 cups chicken broth

4 tablespoons lime juice, divided

Freshly grated black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried dill

Preheat oven to 375°F. Layer frozen salmon and sliced zucchini in a 9x13 pan or similar. Pour the broth and 2 tablespoons lime juice into the pan. Top the pan with 2oz Asiago and the seasonings. Bake for 35 minutes. Increase temperature to 400°F. Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Serve salmon with additional Asiago and lime juice to taste.

"It's probably also the fact that I seasoned with basil and oregano."

"And your zucchini takes the place of noodles."

"Yep! And the lime juice adds the acidity that tomato sauce would normally have."

I should really list my safe foods so here I go - These foods I almost always will eat. Sometimes there are days where the preference against them is so strong that I will physically gag upon just smelling them but it is a rare few foods that that happens

Meals

- Bush's chili beans - hot (if possible: with cayenne pepper, black peppercorns, and garlic power)

- Chicken tenders/boneless wings (preferably with buffalo sauce)

- Pho

- My signature Subway sandwich

- IN ORDER: Italian herb and cheese bread with turkey, bacon, provolone cheese - toast. Guacamole lettuce, chipotle southwest sauce (ask if I want onion, sometimes that preference changes)

- Kraft mac n' cheese (ORIGINAL FLAVOUR PLEASE EVERYTHING ELSE IS BAD)

- CocoWheats for breakfast almost every day

- McDonald's order: 10 pc chicken nuggets with buffalo sauce, large fry + chocolate shake if it's one of those lucky days

- Sushi (Salmon nigiri, salmon avocado rolls, Alaska rolls, dragon rolls, those frickin crunchy rolls with spicy mayo are good :) also wasabi is an absolute yes, SHRIMP IS A BIG NO EW)

- Pizza (Pepperoni, onions are a sometimes thing, buffalo sauce is common but not a dependency lol ALSO EXTRA TOMATO SAUCE IF POSSIBLE)

- Pasta (regular spaghetti or farfalle (bowtie shaped) with just butter, Cavender's seasoning, and occasionally marinera)

Snacks

- Frozen blueberries

- Spicy cheetos

- Takis (chili lime or the blue one)

- Strawberries

- Pretzels with Nutella/chocolate covered pretzels

- Goldfish (classic or flavour blasted cheddar)

- Saltines

- Doritos

CURRENTLY OUT OF IDEAS BUT THIS IS ALREADY KINDA MASSIVE I THINK-? There are other foods I do like but aren't really an always thing. I used to be a looooott pickier when I was little, but before I even had any idea about being autistic, father dearest told me to at least give new foods a try and not just refuse everything, and I heeded that advice. I'm willing to try foods if they look particularly appetizing, buuuut most of the time it ends up being okay the first 2 bites and then it's bad to me

OKAY BYEEEE I'M MAINLY USING THIS AS REFERENCES TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR ME AND MY RELATIVESSSS

Okay just because this has been on my mind for weeks now. You should never have to choose between food and rent. One, if such a choice comes up, always choose rent, obviously. BUT if not being able to afford food is the problem, there are options. Sorry this post got so long it wasn’t meant to..

Apologies in advance I only know how this works in America, but it’s likely your country has something similar. What you’ve gotta do for this is go to your state government page and find your state’s food assistance program, SNAP, Food Stamps, whatever it is, find that and apply. You’ll probably get around $250 a month for a single household. If you’re low income, you should be eligible. If you’re on SSI/SSDI or Medicaid, you are almost certainly eligible. On top of that you gotta find a local food bank. They might ask you for your income, but they likely won’t bar you from their services if they’re a good food bank. This is a good place to get any kind of canned food and pasta, but good food banks will likely also have meat, eggs, and milk. A lot of food banks have even started delivering straight to your home. I’ve also worked with a lot of Churches to get food. I’m sure plenty of Synagogs and other religions orgs have similar programs, but it depends on how well funded they are.

Use any money you save from this for your fresh produce, but I recommend getting frozen vegetables as they have just as much nutrients as fresh produce would. I also recommend getting an instant pot or slow cooker if you can afford it. Thrift stores might have some that still work decently. I got my instant pot and my slow cooker second hand from family members so I got lucky, but if you can afford them they’re seriously a life saver.

My biggest recommendations of food to keep on hand is bread and stuff you like on sandwiches, always have eggs, always have rice, and always have some frozen vegetables. Invest in spices wherever you can, you can make a lot or really delicious meals that are super simple just by having some good seasonings. If you get on food assistance, spices are covered by that, basically everything consumable is except alcohol.

Spices I recommend to keep on hand: Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Basil, Thyme, Oregano, Ginger, Red Pepper, Garlic, Onion, any Umami/Mushroom Blend, Rosemary, Marjoram, Sage. That’s everything I use for 90% of my meals.

Also grow your own food! Mainly herbs! The easiest one to start with is green onions, you can buy some from the store, put the bottoms in a small cup with just enough water to reach the roots, let the roots grow a bit then put them in soil after about a week. Basil, thyme, parsley, and rosemary are my other favorites to grow. You can get a devoted pair of kitchen scissors to just cut your herbs directly into whatever you’re cooking! If you have enough space and time on your hands I really recommend growing tomatoes and bell peppers!! Feel free to ask me about gardening!

My Favorite Easy Meals:

Spaghetti with meat sauce: Get canned tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, mix those in a pan and add as many spices as you want until you like the flavor, you can look online for common spaghetti sauce seasonings. Get some ground beef (btw meat can be frozen indefinitely) and cook that up then throw it in your sauce. Cook noodles while you’re doing that, the whole process shouldn’t take more than an hour if you have an extra pair of hands, hour and a half if you’re by yourself at max.

Teriyaki Chicken: Easiest thing ever, just buy some chicken strips and some teriyaki sauce, marinate that shit then pop it in the oven for like around 20min or until it’s cooked to 165°F.

Egg Fried Rice: One of my favorite easy meals. Pop the (WASHED!!) rice in an instant pot or rice cooker (if you don’t have either a pot with a lid will work fine!), toss in about a tablespoon of mirin in with your rice then let it do it’s thing following instructions. About 15min before your rice is done throw some frozen vegetables in a pan (whatever kind of vegetables you like!! It really doesn’t matter!) cook those a little, put em aside in a bowl. Then take some eggs, scramble em in the same pan, put aside. Throw your cooked rice in the pan then add soy sauce, red pepper, umami blend, and any other spices you’d like (but no salt! There’s plenty of sodium in the soy sauce!).Then add your ingredients you put to the side. If you add enough eggs or are just tired, this can be it’s own meal! Or you can have it as a side with teriyaki chicken or anything else you think it’d taste good with!

Ramen: Get a bunch of packs of cheap ramen noodles but don’t use the soup packet. Make your own soup with any kind of broth (chicken or seafood works best, but just pick a favorite), add a tablespoon of soy sauce to a cup of broth, a teaspoon of mirin to cup of broth, some minced ginger (or powered) to taste, any spices you want (I like to add the mushroom blends and some seaweed flakes), cook the noodles for the recommended time in the broth then add an egg cooked in any style you want. You can get fancy with a soft boiled egg, but those take a while to learn to get right. I normally fry my eggs. And if you have any ham or beef strips those also go good with it! Top it with green onions! Takes about 45 minutes roughly.

Omelet: Whisk some eggs in a cup and add some spices (and fresh green onions if you want!), throw it in a pan, add any cheese, meat, or veggies you like on it (I like cheddar, bell peppers, and bacon in mine) then wait for it to cook on one side then fold it in half, after it’s cooked on one of the half sides, flip it over to get the other side, you can stab it in the middle to see if it’s fully cooked in the center. Takes less than 20 minutes.

Buttered Potatoes: You can get some small potatoes, cut em up, throw them in an oven-safe dish with some butter (1/4-1/2 a stick depending on how many potatoes you’re making), salt, rosemary, and black pepper. Cook them in the oven on like 350°F for about 25-30min. You can use this as a side with any kind of meat or anything else you feel it’d go good with! Sometimes it just makes a good snack as leftovers.

Things you can cook up and add to other stuff: cook a bunch of bacon and you can crumble it into stuff like omelets, mac ‘n cheese, salads!

Feel free to ask me for cooking advice! It’s one of my favorite things to do and there’s a good chance I can help you figure out how to make something. I’m happy to help talk to you about dietary restrictions and substitutes also!

I do all this and never spend a penny from my paycheck on my food! Good food is obtainable! Look online for more recipes or try and use some of these methods to enhance a simple recipe you already know!

And remember to fight to keep food assistance programs open and available! It’s an insanely valuable resource for folks in poverty! If your local government acts against these programs, speak up against them! If you can, please donate to your food bank and ask them what kind of food they need. Volunteer with them also if you can!

#Food. So important guys. Like for real. #This is all based off stuff I personally do but there’s obviously sooooo much more you can do. #ophidian lore

Creamy Chicken and Shrimp Pasta Recipe

Something new I'm doing, which is my recipes I normally post on Instagram!

This recipe makes 6 servings.

INGREDIENTS:

2 TBSP of all purpose flour (Used: unbleached all purpose flour)

2 TBSP of margine or butter (Used: Smart Balance Olive Oil Spread)

8 TBSP of oil (Used: Great Value Classic Olive Oil)

3/4ths of a container of Frozen Seasoning Blend (it's an onion and pepper blend from Walmart that also contains celery and I believe parsley)

10oz of pasta (Used: Barilla Protein Spaghetti)

3 Cups of Half and Half (Used: Great Value Fat Free Half and Half)

One bag of frozen broccoli cuts

1 lb of fresh, extra large shrimp

2 lb of diced chicken breast (Used: Perdue Diced Chicken Breast)

One Frigo parmesan wedge, grated.

Seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, Accent, and poultry seasoning. Can use salt to replace Accent, I cook my foods to fit a low sodium diet.

Utensils used: clawed spoon, 2 big pots, a large frying pan, tongs, spatula, cup measure, tbsp measure.

First things first, you're gonna want to mix one TBSP of flour with poultry seasoning, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder. Right after, get a big pot boiling with enough water for your pasta. I tend to just follow box directions.

Get 2 TBSP of olive oil heating to medium high heat (like between medium and six) in a large pot, you'll want one you can eventually add ALL your ingredients into, so keep that in mind. Cook your diced chicken in batches, making sure to not overcrowd the pot. I used 6 TBSP in all to get it all cooked, and each batch took roughly ~10-15 minutes each.

While your chicken is cooking, finish your pasta, and set it to the side in a strainer. Make sure to reserve half a cup of pasta water. Go ahead and throw your shrimp into some seasoning: black pepper, A LITTLE cayenne (a very small amount goes a long way), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and accent/salt.

If the chicken's coating starts making a really bad black patch on the pot, you can scrape off some, but do NOT remove any from the last batch. Once all the chicken is done, you're gonna add the butter/margarine to the chicken pot. When it's melted, add your seasoning blend to it.

After the seasoning blend cooks down, add your other tbsp of flour and STIR!!! You're making a roux, don't let it burn! It'll be done when it's like a dark brown paste. Add pasta water, stir, then add your half and half and parmesan. Turn to medium heat.

While still occasionally stirring your cream sauce, get a frying pan out. Put one TBSP of olive oil in it and get it to medium high heat. This is what you'll be cooking your shrimp in; do not put the shrimp in the oil until it sizzles! Shrimp should only need 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping only once. You'll know they're done when the skin starts to curve out and turn where it used to be blue! Add the other TBSP of oil when the previous one burns off.

*IF using cooked, just add it to cream sauce when you add your chicken, and instead use the oil for your broccoli.

Add broccoli to shrimp pan. CAREFUL, it's going to pop and crack and be very angry as it's frozen broccoli going into a hot pan. Be careful!!! You only need it to cook enough to take some of the bite out.

While broccoli cooks, add shrimp, chicken, and pasta to your cream sauce. Add broccoli once it's done. Let it thicken up a little, then serve!

(This recipe is freezing friendly! I used it in meal prep and it was just as delicious after being frozen!)

Saw your lasagna post and very much agree. If folks need a dish for Eddie to make, it should be casserole. You can make one for like five dollars and about an hour. Can throw whatever in there and it'll probably be fine.

Everytime I am reminded of the lasagna thing, my eye twitches. Things that were budget breakers for us: name brand anything. un-ground meat. meat with more than 2 days until sell by date. bread that wasn't rectangle shaped. cheese, essentially all of it. Even kraft singles were an issue, and they aren't cheese. Fancy Shape Pasta.

I really really really cannot overstate how expensive food is. But I hope you don't know that first hand. So. Casseroles of the early 90s in America, from my very poor family included:

Turketti: this is a bunch of spaghetti noodles, broken at least in half. Cream of Mushroom soup. Some cheese if you have money that week. some turkey if you have it, chicken if you don't bc there are no rules here. If you can afford fresh veg: celery, onions, carrots, black olives, then put some breadcrumbs on top. Note: I hated this.

Beef Macaroni skillet: this is cheaper (and better tasting) than beefaroni. get some of that ground beef from the 'use today' pile. Cook it. tomato sauce. corn. macaroni. mustard. pepper. If you're well stocked in the house, you add worscetshire sauce, onions, garlic, etc, but honestly, even if you're just emptying packets of fast food mustard in, that'll do ya.

Hash. Arguably a casserole if it goes a bit wrong. Potatoes of whatever kind you have, cut into pieces. Whatever kind of protein you have. Corned beef is the fancy one. ground beef, shredded chicken, ham, spam, eggs? All works. Found some random veg thats going wrong soon? Throw it in there. If you touch it too much the potatoes turn into mash, and now you've got a casserole. Throw some breadcrumbs and claim you meant to do it.

French onion casserole. cans of the cheap french onion soup. Chunks of stale bread. Protein if you have it. Mix it together. throw it in a dish. If you have cash for cheese, on it goes.

[bignasty001]

I can cook and bake lots of stuff!:D

spaghetti, all types of chicken, pork chops, pepper poppers, apple pie, peach pie, lemon curd, black Forrest cake, lemon meringue pie, icecream, brownies, macarons, cheesecake, truffles…

I'M GLAD U HAVE A WHOLE LIST???

hmmm maybe ur convincing me idkk

#would u make me chocolate covered strawberries?!! #those are my fav #ok good anon #asks

[crossover-enthusiast]

Ingredients:

3/4 cup milk

1 and 1/4 cup ultra pasteurized half and half (half cream half milk)

2 cloves of garlic (if you don't have cloves 1 spoonful of jar garlic is roughly 2 cloves of garlic, garlic powder is kinda tricky to convert to normal garlic clove measurements so just season to taste tbh)

1 chicken bullion cube

Red pepper flakes

Black pepper

Salt

Frozen broccoli (the shit you get in a bag)

Tiny sprinkle of basil and parsley (optional)

Any type of pasta you like (i used bowtie pasta you can use normal macaroni noodles or even spaghetti noodles if you want)

2 slices of american cheese

Roughly 1 cup of mexican blend shredded cheese

Two spoonfuls of parmesan

Tiny little sprinkle of flour (sounds gross but it helps thicken the sauce)

Oooo

Easy Vegan Meals for Children and Picky Eaters

Got a child that you need to feed or pack lunch for and don’t have much time? Have a picky eater living with you who’s trying to go vegan? Maybe you have a combination child/picky eater (like I was) living in your household? Well, this list of food is perfect for you! While not always the healthiest, sometimes just getting someone to eat can be challenging enough, so there’s nothing wrong with some simple, somewhat unhealthy meals every now and then. Many of these dishes can easily be made healthier by adding veggies! Here’s a collection of easy meals for the difficult eaters in your life. 

Macaroni and “Cheese”: Whether it’s boxed vegan mac or homemade, macaroni and cheese is a beloved classic for people of all ages and eating habits. Some boxed and frozen vegan mac and cheese that I’ve personally tried include Sweet Earth Cauliflower Mac, Field Roast Mac N’ Chao, Daiya Cheddar Style Mac & Cheeze, and Annie’s Deluxe Rich & Creamy Shells & Vegan Cheddar. You could also make a quick batch of mac and cheese yourself by boiling your pasta noodle of choice, making a roux with all-purpose flour and vegan butter, and slowly adding in your nondairy milk and vegan cheese shreds of choice (I personally use oat milk and either Follow Your Heart or Violife). If you’re looking to make your own cheese sauce, there are plenty of vegan recipes out there, such as this one from Nora Cooks or this one from Love and Lemons. Add broccoli, cauliflower, and/or some sauteed greens (such as spinach or kale) to make this classic, homey dish a little less unhealthy. 

Tacos: Whether you use a packaged spice mix or make your own (like this one from Vegan Richa), you can’t go wrong with a simple taco. Hard shell, soft shell, lettuce wrap, taco salad - whatever you do, it’s up to you and sure to be delicious! I personally like to use black beans (and sometimes chickpeas or TVP) as my meat substitute. You could also add other veggies to the dish, such as mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers - anything you want, really. Top with lettuce, tomato, vegan cheese, salsa, and/or pico de gallo for some added flavor and texture.

Sloppy Joes: In place of meat, use tvp, lentils or mushrooms. If you can find a canned sauce that is vegan friendly, that will work just fine for a quick meal, but homemade is best, in my humble opinion. Not sure where to start? Try this recipe from Nora Cooks!

Grilled Cheese: Get two slices of bread, a couple slices of vegan cheese, and enough vegan butter to spread on the outside of the bread. Put the cheese slices on top of the bread and then put the bread slices in a pan over medium heat until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Add some tomato slices or fresh greens if you’re into that or serve the sandwich with some soup (I like tomato soup best). 

Pizza: Who doesn’t love a good pizza, am I right? If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that serves good vegan pizza, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting it as a treat every now and then. Frozen vegan pizzas that I’ve seen in stores where I live have been limited to Daiya pizzas (which I haven’t tried, so I can’t comment on taste), but I know there are others out there. You can easily make your own pizza by buying vegan-friendly dough (either frozen, premade bread or package mix), jarred pizza sauce, vegan shredded cheese, and toppings of choice (such as spinach, mushrooms, pineapple, etc.). Looking to make a pizza from scratch? Try this one from Love and Lemons or this one from Nora Cooks. 

Spaghetti: Jarred sauce and spaghetti noodles, what could be simpler? You could also add some vegan parmesan on top, some vegan meatballs or tvp to the sauce, and/or a bunch of vegetables for added flavor and texture. Making your own sauce is really simple, too! Here’s a recipe from my mom that I use whenever I’m craving spaghetti (note that the link also has recipes for lasagna and chili) -  Spaghetti Sauce.

“Chicken” Nuggets: There are plenty of frozen vegan chicken nugget options out there now, from Morning Star to Gardein to Impossible, etc. If you want something without all the preservatives and processing that goes into making fake meat, you could try making your own. These recipes from Nora Cooks and Sweet Potato Soul look yummy! Serve them with some homemade fries, baked potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a filling and delicious meal. 

Quesadillas: Another yummy Mexican dish that you can whip up easily. You can make a simple one by purchasing tortillas and vegan cheese shreds to melt inside. You can also add whatever veggies and spices you want. If you’re looking for recipes to follow along with, these from Love and Lemons and Nora Cooks look delicious!

Baked Ziti: More pasta, yay! Warm, cheesy and saucy, what could be better than baked ziti on a chilly day? This vegan baked ziti from Nora Cooks uses ziti containing wheat and a cashew sauce, but it does have gluten free and nut free options listed! If you want to add some healthy factors to it, mix in some greens (like spinach or kale) or other vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower or zucchini).

Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich: Simple yet delicious! Great to take to school or work for a quick lunch. Have it with some raw veggies or fruit slices to add some more nutrition to your meal. Want to take your sandwich to the next level? Try this PBJ Coconut Bacon Sandwich from Elephantastic Vegan!

Fried Rice: Rice and vegetables - couldn’t be simpler! While you can certainly find frozen vegetable fried rice that is vegan friendly in many grocery stores, there’s just something satisfying about making it yourself. This recipe from Nora Cooks is so good!

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente (fully cooked but still firm) according to package directions, about 10-12 minutes.

Rinse the spaghetti under cold water to cool off completely and set aside in the pot.

Prepare the chicken:

Use a paper towel to pat the chicken breasts completely dry. Season well with salt, pepper, and pesto. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil is sizzling hot.

Sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. The internal temperature for the chicken should reach 165F as read on a meat thermometer.

Cut the chicken into strips and set aside on a plate.

Prepare the sauce:

In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt until starting to bubble, about 1 minute. Add onion, garlic, and tomatoes. Sauté until the tomatoes burst, about 4-5 minutes.

Whisk in heavy cream, chicken broth, and pesto sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and stir occasionally until thickened to a desired consistency, about 3-4 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble:

Add the cooked chicken to the sauce, and toss well to coat. Add in the pasta and toss again to combine.

Garnish with pine nuts and serve warm.
