Hey when you move out on your own the most important food tip I can give you is “maybe you don’t hate x maybe your guardians just cooked it wrong”

The number of foods I have learned I really like if they’re Fucking Seasoned

The number of foods I’ve introduced friends to that they warned me they’d always hated til I let them try a piece of mine

Also marinade things for 24 hours the second you have your own fridge it is a GAME CHANGER you thought you knew food but you have never met her

#food tips #food #usually pork #you can’t just fry pork plain #it’s fucking boring #no #even just the tiniest bloop of teriyaki #a teaspoon of lea and perrins #or my preferred bastard mix: honey garlic honey mustard teriyaki bbq lea and perrins #leave it in that bitch overnight #i did a 48 hour marinade once and OH MY FUCKING GID #i wish i had energy to do it every day

Food Hacks 🤩

Which one did you know already? 🥸

🍎 Apples & potatoes

Apples produce a natural gas called ethylene, which has been shown to slow down potatoes sprouting process

🍓 Strawberries & ice

Strawberries are very porous and absorb liquid. Soak them in ice water and they will become plump again.

🫐 Blueberries

As blueberries ripen, so does their specific gravity. Therefore more ripe and more sweet blueberries will sink rather than float.

🍌 Banana & avocado

Bananas produce ethylene gas, which can help avocados ripen quicker

🥑 Avocado & water

Cold water keeps the avocado away from oxygen, which helps prevent them from browning.

the correct way to come out of a fast 🎀

i’m not a health acc, nor am i an ed acc, but i see a lot of girlies ending their fasts wrong, and that can be super dangerous. life threatening, even. so i decided to write thus cus i have s lot of experience with fasting 🫶🏼

(if on a liquid diet, skip to step 4)

1. time

it’s a super simple process, but it’s definitely time consuming. the amount of time you were fasting is the amount of time it takes to come out of a fast. (e.g. one year i fasted for all of ramadan, even at night. i only fasted for two weeks, then slowly incorporated food back into my diet for the other two weeks)

2. liquid food

i saw someone eat an apple straight after their fast.

you cannot under any circumstances do that!!

shocking your system with food is dangerous. the first thing you should be having is a teaspoon of *blended* apple in a glass of water. (blend a peeled apple with a little bit of water to get the right consistency. do not use store bought apple juice)

it’s gross, but it’s necessary.

slowly over time, increase the ratio, until you are just drinking the blended apple. (the amount of time it takes depends on the amount of time you fasted)

3. liquid food cont.

once you start drinking just the apple, start mixing in other fresh fruits and veggies - preferably ones with a lot of nutrients. make sure it’s not too heavy.

(side note: don’t add any milk or yogurt to the smoothies nothing but plain water!)

4. food (kinda?)

you can’t eat normally just yet, just a little more to go!! there are two options of how to do this step

one is to make the smoothies chunkier, so you have something to chew

the second is cutting yourself a *tiny* piece of apple and chewing it until you physically can’t anymore.

they are pretty similar, so it’s up to you :) (make sure to chew very well for both btw, not just the second option)

as always, slowly increase the mount of solids until…

5. FOOD! (finally 😮‍💨)

congrats! you can now eat normally!! 🥳🥳🥳

it sucks that it takes so long, but i cannot stress enough how important it is! people have actually died from ending a fact wrong before. please look after your health 🤍

id you don’t like apples, or are allergic, you can substitute them for blueberries, though you’ll have to strain the skin out until you can start chewing 🤷🏼‍♀️ (if you don’t like blueberries, then use cucumbers or lettuce, idk)

i rly hope this helped someone. pls be safe 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Grocery shopping/Food

Inflation is a huge thing right now and people keep asking how to lower your grocery budget. I grew up poor. Here are some tips I learned over the years. Just my opinions/tips:

There are alot of things a person can do to build food stability- IF you have the space and resources.

First one is gardening. An herb garden, a patio pot garden or a yard garden. I also did little stints of guerilla gardening, which is basically planting veggies in weird places. You can Google victory gardens to see how they used to do it back in the 40's.

Also, if you have a house with a yard, consider planting a fruit tree and some fruit bushes.

But as far as grocery shopping goes, if you have a limited budget & are on a weight loss journey, the first thing you should do is stop (or severely limit) shopping from the inside grocery aisles.

Why?

Because these foods might seem inexpensive, but it is really common to overeat those foods. They are designed to be hyperpalatable.

I recently saw an episode of Heavy where the person was cooking 3 boxes of some meal.... and eating them all.

If you buy these foods at all, you need to practice portion control with them. Check the box for the serving size and then divide it into individual servings before you start eating it.

It is really important that you don't beat yourself up for wanting this food. It is designed that way. Your body is a biological machine of sorts and it has evolved to *want* foods that have certain levels of fat, salt & carbs. It is because these are the foods that helped us survive.

When shopping the perimeter, I normally take a walk around to see what foods have volume so a low price. Some suggestions are potatoes, collard greens, radishes. But really, I will try anything that is low cost. Give it a shot and see if you like it.

That is how I starting eating collard greens. Walmart had huge bags of them for like $2. I bought a bag and threw in some greens with every meal. Why not?

You don't need designer greens that are $10 a pound.

So yesterday, the thing I would have bought for cheap and tried was fresh bunches of turnips greens for $1.29, and mustard greens for about the same (I am traveling tomorrow so I won't have time so cook it).

Be curious and explore. You may be able to find ways to stretch your budget using unpopular foods. Unfortunately, the internet has popularized some previously staple foods - eggs, cottage cheese, cauliflower etc. But do what you can with what you have, and use portion control so that you are making things last.

Sometimes you can find frozen foods for good prices- I found pags of peas at Walmart for $.84. Peas! Hell yeah! I added Pease to everything. Peas have some protein and a good nutrient profile.

In contrast, a box of weight watchers protein candy bars were $5 for 4 bars. ON SALE. Ugg. That is a treat option... but those food products are so freaking expensive per serving I am trying to limit those.

Other things I did was watch videos on how people got by in the depression...and try some of those meals. Read older books and see what they were eating.

Our food acquisition has changed dramatically in the last 100 years. People used to do alot more foraging, hunting, & fishing. We don't have access to some of those things anymore. And if you do have access, definitely try those things as well. If you have access to buy food from a farmer/rancher, do it.

Now we have food deserts. But that is a post for a different time.

Not sure if this’ll reach anyone BUT

I’m getting Top Surgery this month and live alone, wondering if anyone has any food recs? Usually I cook every day but I’m not going to able to use my arms sooo not sure what I can eat.

I can reach the microwave and oven pretty easily, but I imagine boiling water for pasta or flipping things in a pan would be difficult with a weight limit and T-Rex arms.

Current thoughts are:

-cereal

-oatmeal

-Bagels

-sandwiches

-soups

-jerky

-tuna wraps

Any help would be appreciated!

Food Gardening Friday: Herb Harvesting

For the fullest flavor, harvest herbs before they flower. If you've been harvesting branches all season, your plants probably never get a chance to flower. However, by late summer, even herbs that have not flowered will start to decline as the weather cools. This is a good time to begin harvesting and drying your herbs

How to:

-Cut healthy branches from your herb plants.

-Remove any dry or diseased leaves. Yellowed leaves and leaves spotted by a disease are not worth drying. Their flavor has already been diminished by the stress of the season.

-Shake the branches gently to remove any insects. There are always hitchhikers and since you won't be thoroughly washing the stems, you want to get rid of as many as you can now.

-If you've picked your herbs while the plants are dry, you should be able to simply shake off any excess soil. Rinse with cool water only if necessary and pat dry with paper towels. Hang or lay them out where they will get plenty of air circulation, so they can dry out quickly. Wet herbs will mold and rot.

-Remove the lower leaves along the bottom inch or so of the stem. You can use these leaves fresh or dry them separately.

-Bundle 4 - 6 stems together and tie as a bunch. You can either use a string or a rubber band. -The bundles will shrink as they dry and the rubber band will loosen, so check periodically that the bundle is not slipping. Make small bundles if you are trying to dry herbs with high water content, so they get air flow between the branches and do not rot.

-Punch or cut several holes in a paper bag. Label the bag with the name of the herb you are drying

-Place the herb bundle upside down into the bag. You can include the loose leaves you removed from the bottom inch of the stems if you like.

-Gather the ends of the bag around the bundle and tie closed. Make sure the herbs are not crowded inside the bag.

-Hang the bag upside down in a warm, airy room. -Check in about two weeks to see how things are progressing. Keep checking weekly until your herbs are dry enough to crumble and ready to store.

When to Harvest Your Herbs for Drying -For the fullest flavor, harvest herbs before they flower. If you've been harvesting branches all season, your plants probably never get a chance to flower. However, by late summer, even herbs that have not flowered will start to decline as the weather cools. This is a good time to begin harvesting and drying your herbs. -Cut branches in mid-morning. Let the morning dew dry from the leaves, but pick before the plants are wilting in the afternoon sun. -Do not cut the entire plant, unless you plan on replacing it. You should never cut back by more than two-thirds or remove more than about one-third of a plant's branches at one time. Storing dried herbs: 

-Store your dried herbs in airtight containers. Small canning jars work nicely. Zippered plastic bags will do as well.

-Be sure to label and date your containers.

-Your herbs will retain more flavor if you store the leaves whole and crush them when you are ready to use them.

-Discard any dried herbs that show the slightest sign of mold. It will only spread.

-Place containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. There are amber colored canning jars that block sunlight to help withhold damage.

Here's a food tip:

If you're making pancakes and you don't have any syrup, you can heat up some jam and it'll end up as a nice fruit syrup.

Do you own a blender? I’ve found that when eating and chewing is annoying, blending things and drinking them instead helps. Doesn’t work for everything but it can help. Buying things that are already in liquid form or gelatinous could also work.

I do own a blender! that's a good idea :0 if you have any specific food suggestions to blender, I would also welcome them :>
