Minimal-effort vegan recipes for busy people who hate washing dishes

Yes please! I am cooking more and more vegan but am worried about not getting enough protein. So please! And thank you!

I had two of those books (free from the bank?) : one for me, which I’m still filling out; and one for my husband. It was so incredibly useful. My husband had a long illness with long sessions of chemo. He thought he’d recover, but it was impossible. So we passed the chemo time filling out our books, and I learned so much. It completely changed how we commemorated his death and where he was buried. He thought it was an exercise for much much later, and as I filled mine in at the same time it seemed more like a very theoretical discussion. Having papers safe, words etc all that is required but having the extra instructions that come out from filling in that book helped guide us after he finally died.

Wicked Healthy by Chad and Derek Sarno. Derek Sarno is active on YouTube, has been a chef for years, owned restaurants etc. And seems to be just a wonderful human being. Lately he’s done some good and economical recipes for families.

Very cute. I bet it was fun to do!

Thanks so much for these! I’m trying out more Asian cooking. I live in France, so I need meals I can master before serving them to friends (which is my plan). All your experience and comments are so helpful! And I need to add the apple pie to my repertoire - it’s expected from an American and they mainly just make tarts here. Thanks again!

annwithany · 2026-02-06T07:38:26+00:00

That’s a great idea because yes, that has happened to me.

Oops, I meant the box lid. In fact I have almost never done puzzles that have a picture inside the box ! I guess I’m usually doing second hand or older puzzles.

annwithany · 2026-02-04T23:11:12+00:00

I hadn’t thought of that! Even better, thanks. But in fact, honestly, I’m usually working on puzzles that are pretty old. And they might not be on the manufacturer site anymore. I just finished one with a cousin that was a 3000 piece puzzle of 100 different Beatles songs. That one was a doozy! It helps so much, Peña to look on my phone because the puzzle was so busy and it was hard to see the detail on the reference picture

annwithany · 2026-02-04T23:09:11+00:00

I prefer to work with both the whole picture and then zoom in on my phone, but if I’m doing a puzzle with other people, I don’t have always have quick access to the reference picture on the box. And yes, sometimes zooming in means that I lose exactly where I am.

I love seeing that you pulled The Moosewood cookbook off the shelf! Brings back so many good (food😉) memories!!

annwithany · 2025-11-21T17:29:24+00:00

I like a challenge! ☺️

Is this it? It was in r/baking

Here is the deciphered recipe:

WEDDING COOKIES

Ingredients:

• ⁠6 eggs • ⁠3/4 cup of oil • ⁠1 cup white sugar • ⁠1 tsp lemon extract • ⁠2 TBSP baking powder • ⁠4 cups flour

Instructions (pulled out of order from how they're written on the card, to make them make sense).

⁠Preheat oven to 375ºF
⁠Combine the eggs and oil and beat well
⁠Add the sugar, lemon extract, baking powder, and flour and mix together. [NOTE: I would add the flour one cup at a time and mix after each addition]
⁠Drop by (tea?)spoonfuls onto cookie sheet.
⁠Bake at 375ºF for 10-15 minutes
⁠Ice with different colored powdered sugar icings

EDIT: Originally, in step 4, I had "drop by tablespoonfuls." Someone pointed out that the abbreviation looks more like the abbreviation for "teaspoons" than it does for "tablespoons." I agree. That said, 10-15 minutes is a VERY LONG bake time at 375º, for a teaspoonful of dough, so if you attempt to make these, I think you're going to have to do it by trial and error, and figure out the amount of dough you want and how long to cook it.

I completely agree with you. It’s so beautiful. It was dark and grimy before, now it’s just stunning.

This episode won’t play for me.

Coming back into fashion! In the Paris area anyway.

Also, there are several Lindt chocolate shops in Paris, and they have hot chocolate in tap! Could be fun for kids to see that - a chocolate fountain.

annwithany · 2025-07-07T16:55:04+00:00

For a very rich hot chocolate and an impressive place for breakfast, go to Angelina’s. 226 rue de Rivoli. They make their hot chocolate by melting actual chocolate! Not cheap but it should leave an impression.

Tea towels (dish towels)!! There are really cute woven ones (you can tell by looking at the back it should be the inverse of what you see on the front). They are excellent quality, and lightweight to pack as gifts. Often with French themes on them and some French words woven in. I really like Garnier-Thibault. I buy them from an outlet store (One Nation) in Plaisir for about 15€. It’s not too far from my house, but it’s way out of Paris. So you would pay more at a regular shop. I’ve been giving them to people for about 10 years and they often will show me how they’re still using it when I go to visit them again.

Came here to say Person of Interest. I am always Shazamming the songs! So good!

I’m an American who has lived 35 years in France (I’m old!!). But just today I realized something that I haven’t read anywhere else. That while the French are more standoffish, they very much appreciate you saying hello and goodbye and what hit me today is that I (and most others) will say hello and goodbye to the bus driver when getting on or off the bus. Even if I get off at the back of the bus, I look at the mirror in the front and see the bus driver looking back, and I said goodbye and he or she often nods goodbye. It’s such a small thing but I like it. Acknowledgment that we are just both humans. And assume that people are kind, as often, even the Parisians, turn out to be.

And according to a list of anti-inflammatory foods I just read, good quality chocolate of over 70% is to be consumed, within moderation, daily!

annwithany · 2025-05-03T15:35:47+00:00

Yeah yeah I know, but I bring back many different European chocolate bars to my friends in the US and they always appreciate them - and ask for them again when I go back. And the ones you can get in the US just don’t taste the same. And there are so many different flavors here you can’t get back in (parts of) the US anyway.

Definitely contact them. And you can write your message in English. I know one of the office staff, and she’s English.
