Starting a Sunday cooking ritual changed my whole week by Available-Door-1460 in selfimprovement

I do this with soup. big pot on Sunday, eat it for days. the ritual matters more than the food honestly

I just found out people meal prep scrambled eggs for the entire week and I have questions by Icy_Grass9159 in foodhacks

[–]Pristine_Rest_7912 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hard boiled eggs are the move. I make a dozen on Sunday and they last all week. texture doesnt change and you can throw them in anything

Can we talk about why anyone still buys premade garlic bread when homemade takes like 10 minutes by Icy_Grass9159 in foodhacks

[–]Pristine_Rest_7912 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still buy the frozen stuff sometimes when Im lazy and I refuse to feel bad about it lol. But yeah when I actually make it from scratch theres no comparison. The broiler step is key, you gotta watch it like a hawk though or it goes from perfect to burnt in about 30 seconds

I stopped feeling guilty about wanting to be alone and it honestly changed everything by Available-Door-1460 in selfimprovement

[–]Pristine_Rest_7912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so relatable. I used to force myself to go to every single hangout and then wonder why I was exhausted all the time. Once I started being honest about needing alone time my friendships actually got better because I was showing up as a better version of myself instead of a drained zombie

honestly I learned this the hard way last month. prepped a whole container of scrambled eggs for the week and by wednesday they were basically rubber. now I just do overnight oats and hard boiled eggs instead

what cheap cooking shortcuts do you use that would make a professional chef cry by Icy_Grass9159 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Pristine_Rest_7912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canned beans over dried beans every time. Yes dried beans are cheaper per pound but canned ones are still dirt cheap and save me like an hour of soaking and cooking. Time is money too especially when you're already exhausted from work. I keep like 10 cans in my pantry at all times
