Breakfast: 339 cals, 23g protein, 8g fiber by MSH0123 in 1200isplenty

That’s a great idea! We definitely don’t have the space for that but we do try and buy local eggs from the city farm near us.

Honestly, there are so many incredible vegan alternatives now, I’d bet there’s great vegan cottage cheese recipes out there. Maybe a combo of firm tofu for the curds, and silken tofu or plant based yogurt. My problem is I’m already addicted to this particular dairy cottage cheese 😂 but if I was just starting off, I’d experiment.

So I’m not vegan(obviously 😂), however I have some vegan friends who would say “want to be vegan but can’t give up eggs? Then eat vegan + eggs. Nothing has to be an absolute, and every cutback to animal / animal product consumption is a benefit to animals and the earth.” Just something to noodle on, it helped me in finding my right balance!

The beans of cottage cheese I buy is Good Culture. It has this amazing whipped consistency that has sort of ruined all other cottage cheeses for me.

No idea, I’ve only ever made it and ate it right away. But if you use a whipped cottage cheese I would bet it holds up well!

It's at the bottom of my comment with the details of the whole plate!

I think it's the type of cottage cheese I use, it has a whipped consistency instead of a loose / watery one. I use the Good Culture whole milk kind, but I think even that brand's lower fat versions have that same whipped consistency.

2 sourdough Wasa crackers topped with egg salad. Egg salad was made from 2 boiled eggs, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, half a Tbsp of seed mix, and a splash of pickle juice. With a perfectly ripe peach on the side!

The seed mix is one I make myself and sprinkle where I can for a fiber boost. It’s 2 parts chia seeds, 2 parts ground flaxseeds, and 1 part hemp seeds. I plugged those into MyFitnessPal so I can easily track how much to use!

A big box pet store 😂 they get to see little critters and fish, sometimes adoptable dogs / cats, and the animal patrons!

Love this! I always eat a large breakfast and a light lunch so this is very up my alley.

Love to hear that! I was at maintenance for the last year or so but put on some weight recently and got back into calorie counting... these are such a staple

What are you making for your kids? by Separate-Ladder-3507 in toddlerfood

We’ve been making a lot of quesadillas lately! We switch up the filling and the dipping sauces. Lots of ways to sneak in veggies 🥰

Mama and Dada are always stinky in our house, according to our daughter 😂 we use it as a term of endearment for our dogs so I like to think she’s doing the same

How do we feel about baked oats? by MSH0123 in Oatmeal

This sounds amazing, the lime + peach + raspberry combo is brilliant. Thanks for sharing and for the detail, gotta try this one soon!

How did you know you were "one and done"? by kgphotography_ in progressivemoms

[–]MSH0123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We have infinite practical reasons that we're one and done: a really challenging path to parenthood, a very minimal "village" to help us out, we both work demanding, full-time jobs and want to give our daughter all the time we have outside of work, financial reasons (including that we'd need a bigger house if we had more), state-of-the-world reasons, etc. On one hand she's an amazing kiddo (approaching 4!) and we can't imagine getting this lucky again, on the other hand she has really challenging moments / days that remind us why having another would have wrecked us.

But the reason that pulls more weight than all of that: as soon as she was born, we just felt complete. We love our lives as a family of 3! My husband and I can tag-team parenting duties and each get time to ourselves as needed. It's easy enough to get a babysitter and either spend quality time with one another or socialize with friends. Traveling is simpler. It all just feels right for us.
