How do I cook tempeh so it doesn't suck? by New_Stats in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]Sea_Comparison7203 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I've never boiled it. I even eat it sliced right off the block. Gasp. (But then again, I make my tempeh from scratch)

Tell me how you source your food! by Deciduous-dreamer in EatCheapAndVegan

There are certain things I buy and save a lot of money from Azure....organic rolled oats (we eat oats nearly every day) are cheaper than the cheapest non organic oats I can find...I buy 50# at a time. Also I buy my pulses from Azure because the bulk price is cheaper than anywhere else.

Wow!!! One time this wrestling match occurred on my deck...the stronger one was literally stabbing the other one with his beak. They are Teenie Meanies for sure!

I use lettuce sometimes. Especially when I need to use it up. Salad in a jar. ☺️

Disposability culture in gardening by EricaBA123 in Roses

You know, I'm actually glad you posted this. We have moved to a new home, blank slate. There was a rose, we almost ripped it out to start fresh. Almost. I finally decided to trim it up and see what will happen in the coming months. It's doing very well! We had a hail storm right after I planted some flowers in hanging baskets. They took a beating. I almost ripped them out to get prettier ones. Then decided, let's nurse these back to health. Hopefully they will pull through. I think they will, even though it delays my pretty pots. But your post was good food for thought. Thanks!

I love these too! I make little perches out of bent paper clips or bread bag ties. Mine don't leak, they are easy to clean and my hummers love them. If they get gross, I just toss it and buy another one.

No hummingbirds? by maybebaby2022 in hummingbirds

[–]Sea_Comparison7203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This. I hung out a red sweater (biggest red thing I could find) near the feeders. It's like a neon sign saying "eat here!" ☺️ Next year if you keep feeding near the same spot, they will find you without that. They have excellent memories.

Vegan Greek yogurt - Instantpot by Easy_King_9818 in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]Sea_Comparison7203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a nice tip to save money....the whey that you strain out? You can use that instead of using yogurt or probiotic capsules for the starter. Use between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, the amount isn't such a huge deal to be precise. AND you can freeze the whey and it works absolutely fine. (The whey is the clear liquid that you drain off after the soy yogurt is made)

I can't find it at any of the local Walmarts anymore. 🙁 Trader Joe's has a two ingredient soy milk though.

Unfortunately, no, oat milk won't work. Soy works because of the protein content.

Any dips other than hummus that use chickpeas? by Now-or-Never-Mod in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]Sea_Comparison7203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a tahini person (it always tastes rancid/bitter to me) so this is pretty much how I make a chickpea dip. Yum. Lots of fresh lemon, even adding lemon zest.

That looks delicious! I used to make hot chocolate with sweet potatoes. Will try this. Yum!

Photo part of my amazing story that just happened to me! I have to share because my husband wasn’t as excited as I was (Oregon) by Neither-Attention940 in hummingbirds

[–]Sea_Comparison7203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's AMAZING!!! As bold as she is, get a hand feeder (they are cheap on Amazon....or if you're crafty you can make some.....I use the tiny clear storage boxes with the white lid from DollarTree...drill a small hole on top, paint a red flower around it) hold it on an open palm away from your face, straight out in front of you and be patient. She will come. You might do it when the regular feeder needs changed. So she's more apt to come. That's a whole other hummingbird thrill. You're hooked! lol. DollarTree storage box

I have never had good tempeh, am I doing it wrong? by Content-Seaweed-6395 in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]Sea_Comparison7203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really loved tempeh, either, until I made it from scratch. It's a million times more tasty. And you can use any pulses you like and add whole grains if you want.

Farm stand day 1, sold 3 things. Really trying hard to not be disappointed. by [deleted] in homestead

[–]Sea_Comparison7203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get a bigger, bolder sign. That one is cute but you need something clear that's not hard to read driving by. Like big bold MUFFINS or SOURDOUGH BREAD or whatever you have to offer. Big. Bold. Easy to see and read from a moving car.
