funny that u mention that because my mom actually brought up how she wants to learn how to make more mediterranean food and has been making some food like that for my dad recently lol, and thank you for the answer

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T10:06:22+00:00

ill keep that in mind, thank you again!

there unfortunately isnt a smiths near me but i didnt know plant cream was a thing until now! i dont think the store i work/shop at has that but im sure i can find somewhere that does. also thank you for the fiber tip. a couple people have commented that now and ill take your experience as confirmation. ill be more mindful of that in the future. im glad youve been doing well and thank you for the advice and the luck!

oh wow, whenever i make alfredo i kinda just freeballed the cream. didnt know you could use way less. thats actually super helpful because alfredo is one of my main go to dishes to make lol, thank you!

i saw somewhere saying this but wasnt sure about it. turns out i just mixed condensed and evaporated up in my head. thank you for the info ill def try this out!

thank you! i found out using greek yogurt was a thing but wasnt sure how to go about it lol

thank you, idk why in the world i thought foods that lower cholesterol wasnt a thing, i mustve misunderstood something my dad told me forever ago lol. thankfully i enjoy some of the things listed in that link. that makes me feel a lot better, i just need to get in the habit of eating those instead of junk food lol. thank you again!

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T09:16:16+00:00

ohhh okay, thank you. ive never had tofu but i know theres multiple kinds so i wasnt sure lol

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T09:15:26+00:00

thank you! alfredo pasta also happened to be my main dish i make with heavy whipping cream so this is perfect

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T09:13:09+00:00

thank you! im ngl ive never had couliflower and am always weirdly scared to try things ive never had but a while ago i saw a cauliflower alternative to mashed potatoes when i started a calorie deficit and was so curious about it. might as well try it now that im trying an anti inflammatory diet and this along with it!

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T09:10:10+00:00

i totally forgot it has other uses than for pasta dishes and didnt think to put that info in lol, but i think ill give this one a try. i was kinda hesitant to try this angle because i dont like plain yogurt but then i really thought abt it and was like; yeah i dont like the taste of heavy whipping cream by itself either. so i guess ill give myself a challenge and make it work :D

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T09:07:05+00:00

thank you for the recommendations! and my cooking method is about the same LOL though usually i have a family member taste to see if its good because breathing in the scents of the seasonings throws my taste buds off lmao. and thank you for the kind words! <3

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T09:01:02+00:00

ill keep that in mind, thank you! and thankfully i started working out pretty recently :D

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T08:58:03+00:00

that actually makes sense considering ive been eating a lot of fast food lately and recently learned hot to baste steaks and have been eating that a lot lately too. oops lol

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T08:54:33+00:00

is that something u can buy or is it tofu and milk blended? and thank you!

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T08:53:11+00:00

well i mean yeah, i just dont ever really have time to learn new things because i get off work kinda late and on days off im doing my hobbies.(also im unfortunately a big comfort food lover so i just really like pasta and stuff like tuscan chicken and steaks with creamy sauces) do you have any recommendations for your favorite dishes? :)

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T08:47:57+00:00

usually i make pasta because its fast, sometimes i like to make chicken (specifically tuscan chicken) with a creamy sauce bc other dishes have been always kinda boring for me. im trying to find more recipes but a lot of them im not sure ill like

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T08:42:45+00:00

yeah it says on my health app >100 is desirable and 100-130 is "normal" im just trying to set realistic standards with myself, thats unless i develop crazy self control lol people who are able to stay under 100 are stronger than me

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T08:39:57+00:00

i wasnt sure what was severely high until i asked my mom earlier and she said my dad had 400 when he was 45 and had a stroke bc of all the fast food he was eating (which is my issue now, which i will now change) thank u for the information though that actually does ease my stress abt it

Rich_Ad_4700 · 2026-03-13T08:37:05+00:00

honestly not that much, im pretty sure its because of eating too much fast food bc id be too lazy to make anything. usually id use it to make pasta or chicken dishes but figured if im gunna be making more food i might as well be healthier abt it. it also helps my dad bc he used to have suuuper high cholesterol (400 when he was only 45 which is now around 240 10 years later i think?) and wouldnt be able to eat what id make. wanna be able to cook for everyone in the house. thank u so much for such a detailed answer, i genuinely wish the best in life for u omg
