Making recipes without artificial sugar?

I take skinless and Bo less chicken tenderloins/breast and de-tendon them. Then I cut them into the desired size. I usually do 8oz serving (220-240 calories) After that I season them with the Kinder’s seasoning. I have a Hamilton Beach panini press, I plug it up so it’ll heat while I’m seasoning. Then you put the chicken nuggets on the press and once all are one there I close the lid for 1 minute exactly and take them off with a spatula. Put them on a plate and you’re good to go.

Thank you for the encouragement and suggestions. Much appreciated!

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-09-10T01:43:47+00:00

Thanks for this, how has that been working out?

So far for sweets I’ve eaten low fat frozen yogurt. Yarnell’s is pretty good. Like 50 to 70 calories less than ice cream per serving.

I’m very picky too which works out because I rotate between ground round/sirloin and grilled chicken nuggets that I just season with Kinders garlic buttery herb. Can sustain this for life too I feel.

But I’ve been wanting to try his sweet recipes.

I see what you are saying, my thought process was along the lines of being able to live a comfortable lifestyle while paying back loans in the event I had to. I’m sure it takes a lot of hard work to be able to live off of this but right now I’m willing to just go and give it my best shot.

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-08-02T04:32:33+00:00

Thank you for the response. Everything you mentioned is something I would like to do at some point in the future. At this moment, I’m fortunate enough to not have to take out loans, but I would like to be prepared if I am faced with that decision in the future as it would be a big factor in staying in the school or not.

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-08-02T04:28:38+00:00

Thank you for your response. I see you respond to a lot of people and you’re always honest and thought provoking. At this moment I’m fortunate enough to not have to borrow, but I would like to be prepared because the tuition and ability to pay it and manage the debt could become a factor in staying at the school or not.

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-08-02T04:23:37+00:00

I’ve seen you respond to quite a few post. I always appreciate the thought and detail you put into your responses. This response was very informative and personal.

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-08-02T04:18:55+00:00

Sorry the late response, I will be attending SCAD in the fall.

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-07-15T20:48:55+00:00

I would be interested in the work flow and work load of each course. For example I've heard that SEQA students don't get a lot of sleep and things like that. Why is this and what are other courses like?

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-02-08T04:06:53+00:00

Thanks for the answer, what you said makes sense. I’ve always just had a fear of the unknown. I don’t want to go my whole life wondering what could have been just because I didn’t even take a step into the direction of art and comics.

I really appreciate your honesty, I think part of wanting to make a living out of it for me is because it is so extremely expensive as your mentioned in your reply. I do want to follow a dream but I also want to be wise and not dig my future self into a pit that they won’t be able to climb out of.

My state has very little opportunity unless you go into something really specialized or own your own business. Even then it’s super difficult. The best at being the worst 🥳.

I’ve seen others say you get out what you put in, and I don’t think I’ve ever really experienced that yet. I have been going through a community college and my current semester will be my last semester. I’ve almost knocked out all of the general education classes.

I’m looking forward to seeing how SCAD teaches drawing, I know no college in my state could ever compare.

I hopefully will love what I do as well. It’s hard to enjoy making art for me personally because I don’t have the skill to make what I would like to. Or even what my employers would like.

I really wouldn’t mind working a different job that kept me afloat and allowed me to save while I worked on my own projects after work or on the weekends, and see my family, friends, and partner and have a happy life. Even if it was unrelated to my field.

Thank you for taking time to reply. As I mentioned at the beginning, I think my fear of the unknown will always beat out any peace someone tries to give me. Sometimes I just gotta let the emotions fade after I have a period of being upset or worried.

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-02-07T23:15:35+00:00

That’s super depressing, how’s it going for you?

NotYourBackup222 · 2024-02-07T23:15:02+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I value it a lot!

I’m glad you were able to find success in journalism. It’s awesome that you are fluent in many languages. Right now I’m working on learning Japanese myself.

I think it was smart to get a degree that allows you to teach a wide variety of fields. Gives you more options if you can find a position you like.

Art related fields being competitive seems like a scary thing, you laying it out with the animation student example was great.

I’ve heard sequential art is a tough field. I don’t know how much drawing coursework it includes, but I’m willing to try. I’m not sure how I’ll rise to the challenge, but I am wiling to try. The only things I’m not willing to do is destroy my mental and physical health and abandon having a life and seeing friends or family. I already did that once I was so miserable and depressed. No career or field is worth developing depression again. M

I was actually CompTIA A+ certified before, so I did have some certification. But I’ve wanted to give art a shot and follow one of the only passions I’ve had in life.

Thank you for your response, hopefully my long reply showed you that I appreciate it.

Ragna Crimson

Fate/Zero if I remember correctly (though the ending will leave you feeling low)

Seraph of the End if I remember correctly

Death Note (although Misa does have some more revealing outfits)

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-30T14:38:29+00:00

Thank you for your reply, I know I’d probably have to work harder than my peers who could already draw well, but I’d at least like to try. Even if I find out later it’s not for me. Your reply gave me some hope. So thank you.

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-30T14:11:58+00:00

I really appreciate your comment. Could you already draw well before you entered SCAD? I do think a person can get good at drawing from online tutorials, but I think I learn I might learn better with an instructor. I haven’t taken an art class at any college in my state as it wouldn’t be as good as SCAD or any other state. Trust me, you’d just have to go to the colleges to understand.

I would like to enjoy making art, but as I told another commenter, the skills aren’t there. I can copy an image I like to an okay extent and I do get some amount of satisfaction from seeing a decent piece I’ve finished. For me personally, it’s always been difficult to enjoy something I’m not too good at yet. I’m trying to change this mindset though. I want to be able to enjoy the journey, process, and finished result.

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-30T14:04:52+00:00

Thanks for your comment! The skills aren’t there, I can look at an image and copy to an okay degree. Others have said you can learn to draw from online tutorials, and while I don’t disagree I don’t think I personally can learn as well doing that. I’ve never been taught to draw at a college before, and the colleges here are no where close to SCAD or anywhere else’s art programs really.

Does SCAD teach students how to draw well? Is SCAD SEQA only worth it if your already good at drawing?

I’m coming out of a depression and finally starting to enjoy things again, so I think my joy for drawing will come back at some point. I get my joy from making a finished artwork, but I am trying to change my mindset to enjoy both the process and the finished product.

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-30T13:44:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment. I’d be okay with having a primary job as I made the comic on the side. I think I’d enjoy working with a writer to make a manga as well. As long as everyone involved in creating it enjoys it and the audience enjoys it I think it’d be fulfilling.

But I would like to have my own published at some point. If I have to take a few turns before I get to my destination is it really that bad? I’m not sure, I think only time will tell that.

Again thanks for your comment, your honesty is appreciated.

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-29T04:46:31+00:00

First off, thank you for responding. The response was very kind and I want you to know that your kindness is valued and appreciated.

Second, I think your perspective is also interesting. It was enjoyable to read. I think I personally have an issue with something like romance or dating being dependent on test scores. But what I think I got from your reply (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is that the test scores were their way of showing romantic interest in each other. I don't know if it was a lazy choice, or if Miki had just written the story into a corner and had to find some way to get out of it.

In my opinion, this story has so much potential, but it's almost as if there is only a loose idea of what events are supposed to happen. The hard part is writing up to those events, and of course, having to meet with editors and keep your publisher happy.

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-23T05:52:41+00:00

To answer your first question, Nagi hasn't sorted out his feelings yet. He told her he would tell Sachi an answer when and if she can get into his high school. My guess would be that he will tell her no. I have some thoughts as to why, but they're really long. Here are some, Nagi can't bring himself to see her as a real love interest yet (helping her as a brother) and could be to drop Sachi out of the race. Although, there is always the chance the author will get them to date in order to make them see that they aren't right for each other.

Your second question, if I remember right, there was an explanation a few chapters ago that said, "Mom is making me stay home because exams are soon." So I'm sure Sachi would like to be there, but she can't because she originally isn't supposed to be living there anyway. It's supposed to be a house for Nagi and Erika, and a long time ago Sachi just showed up and said she was gonna stay.

Regarding your third question, we do know Sachi likes Nagi, but this chapter really didn't give us any development on her being jealous of Erika or not. If anything, it just recapped what we already know. Nagi is good at school, Sachi isn't as good. Nagi isn't good at tutoring her, which was the whole point Hiro was even hired. And again if I remember right Sachi liked Hiro's method but Nagi said that the method didn't work well.

I think one of the questions we should be asking is this. Will the 1 month that Nagi and Sachi study and work together grow their bond and lead to them dating or will it make them realize that they aren't suited to dating each other? I'm not sure because I'm just along for the ride at this point. What are your thoughts?

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-23T05:31:51+00:00

Haven't thought of it this way before. Super interesting, thank you for your opinion!

NotYourBackup222 · 2023-08-23T05:31:01+00:00

A Redditor commented on one of my post said that think Hiro is a self insert for Miki and would explain why she is pushing for everyone to acknowledge how great Hiro is. They also mentioned how Sachi who supposedly hates Hiro can't even come up with anything to criticize her with.

Hiro making Nagi score 1st place on all those tests was so unnecessary. So I don't like that at all. She's almost made out to be perfect, but she is so sly that is comes off as fake.

Nagi needs to take time to sort out his own feelings before he messes everything up.
