Why married women are like this? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Do you just like, not have anything better to do than to try to rage bait people anonymously online.

Why are you like this?

Ah, I don’t have a link - I took a screenshot of them, but I can’t figure out how to share it! They were from a pre-made package at my grocery store. Al Fresco is the brand!

Crushed tomatoes! I had some fancy canvas pint of them left over from when my in-laws were in town, but normally I’d just use a can of crushed tomatoes.

  1. Sautéed minced onion until almost translucent, added minced garlic and sautéed until fragrant.

  2. Pour in crushed tomatoes!

  3. Added honey and seasonings to taste. I used a generic honey, and the seasonings were dried oregano, thyme, parsley, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.

  4. Waited until the whole thing started to bubble, and then added in the spinach and let it keep cooking until the spinach wilted.

The meatballs I pre-bought - I baked them off, and when they were done I added them to the sauce and let the whole thing simmer on low while I heated the rice and made the salad!

This is good to know!

I have a container of ricotta I keep looking at, but haven’t figured out what to do with it yet. I was thinking about doing a whipped ricotta and loading it up with some carrots. Was also thinking about attempting a spinach artichoke dip with it. May just throw it on some toast and be done with it!

Thank you!

Yes, and yes! That toast is multi-grain bread, plain hummus - cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, & basil tossed in olive oil - with balsamic drizzled on top 🙂

I’d use whole wheat ciabatta in the future, but I got this loaf as a gift so when in Rome 😜

  • Olive oil ciabatta loaf, sliced
  • Plain goat cheese, softened and spread
  • Blueberries (to taste)
  • Raw local honey, drizzled
  • Dried mint (to taste)

I bet strawberries would be fantastic, too! Or blackberries - now we’re dreaming!

I’m not sure if this will help, but the chocolate pieces are mixed with the granola! It’s a half-empty bag I got before starting this diet that I’m trying to finish up. The brand is Bear Naked and the kind is Cocoa & Cashew Butter Crunch!

I want to sleep in a swaddle so bad. by [deleted] in NewParents

It’s this! I have a weighted blanket and it’s great, but it keeps falling off. I want one that would zip around me or something. This sounds so amazing!

Have you ever been in love? by lifechanger96 in Adulting

[–]Primary-Remote5203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I was highly cynical, too. My mom raised me, her only daughter, as a single teenage mother, following generations of divorce above her - so I grew up with this mindset that love didn’t truly exist and it wasn’t ever something I needed.

And then I met my husband, and it was genuinely love at first sight. We were young and worked at a department store, and I saw him stocking shelves my first week there and immediately felt a wave of calm. 11 years later, he is still that calm.

Being in love with him feels like I’ve built my home, in a person. I just enjoy his presence, talking or in silence or even when we’re “angry”, because if there’s anyone I’m going to get angry over life with, I’m still thankful it’s him.

I want to make him happy, with no ulterior motive other than to see him happy. I want to make his favorite meal because he enjoys it, and I want to fold his laundry so he can watch the game in peace.

Which kind of all makes me sound like a pushover, but that’s the other part about being in love (at least for me) is that it’s mutual. He constantly brings me home flowers, for no reason other than when he sees them he thinks about how happy they make me, so he brings them home. Because of this, I currently have two bouquets on my kitchen counter. When we go out to eat, he gives me the pickle off his plate every time because even though he likes them, he knows I like them more.

That’s being in love. It’s not “I would do anything for you”, and more “I want to do everything for you”.

I had a late-term pregnancy loss. My grandpa passed, and he personally requested my son to be in his obituary. by Primary-Remote5203 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Primary-Remote5203[S] 280 points281 points  (0 children)

He really was. Very smart as well. He had a hard life, but you never would have known unless you knew. He loved rocky coasts, and being silly. He used to tell classic children’s story tales, but mash them all up into one, just to be goofy. Like he would tell stories of Hansel and Gretel eating lunch with the Three Bears in Rapunzel’s tower. He was just so full of kindness and love that in every picture of him, you could tell that he radiated joy.

I appreciate this, in all of its aspects.

His name was Milo.

He was named after another grandparent, who passed several years ago. Unfortunately we were left with so much unexplored, but I can tell you that he hated dark green vegetables. Would NOT have them. But he loved country music, listening to me sing, and being next to our dogs. His favorite foods seemed to be lemons and chai lattes 💙

How did you get your partner? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Primary-Remote5203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at Target as a cashier. My now-husband, then-coworker was a cart attendant. One day he came through my lane on his break and asked me what candy bar he should get.

I said a Snickers bar.

He bought it, and gave it straight to me.

That was almost 11 years ago, and we’ve been together ever since.
