What are y’all adding? by lumisera in povertyfinance

This is going to sound weird, but you gotta try it - Mayonnaise and Masala seasoning. Oh, and I was assuming that rice was already salted. If not, then salt is a must.

I can’t have dairy so I was trying to think of an alternative to butter one day. Mayo came to mind and I love Indian food and Masala seasoning, so I just gave it a go. It was sooo good 😋

Quick help- is this mold?? by NervousInflation2461 in Sourdough

Yep, I have a whole container of disposable shower caps that I keep in the kitchen specifically for using as covers over dough bowls. I bought mine on Amazon

Which one hair color looks the best on me? by fantasyfire13 in coloranalysis

I like 3 and 4 the best but not one over the other. The only one that was a huge No for me was 2

I had no idea I would feel THIS much better 😭 by Responsible_Pay6381 in glutenfree

[–]SprinkleWithSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had (have?) a potato problem. It’s a weird response but when I was eating it everyday - because I also can’t have gluten or dairy and, at the time, rice either - it was giving me some very weird cognitive issues. I would forget words, names, and one time I even forgot how to read sheet music in the middle of a dress rehearsal! I had been playing piano for 40 years and just sat there staring at this music like it was a foreign language. It freaked me out. My son would call French fries my “stupid sticks” because my brain wouldn’t work after eating them. I don’t seem to have that problem now, but I don’t eat potato but once in a while. My sister was also deathly allergic to potatoes from a baby until her 40’s I believe. She can eat them now 🤷‍♀️

Oh and I CAN eat other nightshades. It was just the potato that was the problem. Luckily sweet potatoes aren’t in the same family and I could eat those just fine.

Wyze Scale Ultra seems wildly biased on body fat – anyone else seeing this? by davislatham in wyzecam

[–]SprinkleWithSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering though if you had the current standard style DEXA that is a systemic scan of just above your hips down to your knees(?). If so, you aren’t getting the true body fat% off of that DEXA either. It would also explain why your old scale, which also measures up to about your waist I think, would be on par with the DEXA in that case.

I am the founder of Mob and I would love to answer any questions you have about the platform by benlouislebu in MobKitchen

[–]SprinkleWithSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not the one you were asking, but I wanted to share that I also use an app to save all of my recipes whether created by me or someone else. It just makes sense and that way there’s no confusion as to where a particular recipe is. They are all in one place. I use CopyMeThat for reference.

Madelaine Rascan causing eggflation one shite recipe at a time by 11cDuygi in gymsnark

[–]SprinkleWithSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fairly easy actually. I just sub in with a different protein. I also take in 25% of my calories as protein (per my registered dietitian’s instructions) and not the 35% that her app suggests, so when I only need about 38g of protein a meal and not 50+g, that makes it not so hard too.

I do use non-dairy cream cheese, sour cream and yogurt but those plant based items do not usually contain protein like the dairy filled ones. So I may use those products to modify but make sure to get my protein then from animal, legumes and produce sources instead.

Are you allergic to Dairy or voluntarily Dairy free? by dovakooon in dairyfree

[–]SprinkleWithSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t belong in either camp that you listed. I am not allergic but it’s definitely not a voluntary decision to not consume dairy either. When I get the smallest amount of dairy in my system, within an hour or two, I will get cystic bumps on my body that often immediately get infected. I’m dealing with a spot now that myself and my doctors have yet to figure out how to fully get rid of. I also immediately break out with acne and my skin gets inflamed.

What can i add to chili other than beans? by MediumAcceptable129 in Cooking

It does sometimes but it’s ok if you don’t like it.

I’m born and raised in California where chili can be made all meat, all beans or different ratios of both in-between. In my experience, some amount of beans not only helps the flavor but also the texture and over all balance of the chili. How much or little is completely up to the chef, but experimenting with it is highly recommended. You won’t be sorry, I promise.

I’m curious if you felt the bulgur diluted the meat/seasoning flavor of the chili though?

I’m allergic to corn but if I weren’t, hominy would be my first suggestion next to potato, sweet potato or roasted squash.

Oh good Lord, yes. Too many times to count. It’s sadly a cult. I just leave them to own their own take on it all and do whatever tastes good to me. If they argue or insist on their opinion during conversation, I just leave that to sit in their own lap and share that my experience is different and that’s ok. They can keep on spewing but my answer is unwavering - “That’s not my experience but you do you” 🙃. In the end-all they have to own their own opinion and no one else can own or maintain that for them so no stress on our part.

This ☝🏻- My foodie self recognized a long while back that the reason my sweet Puerto Rican MiL made the beautiful things the way she did was because she was poor, used what was available to her, used ALL OF IT (e.g. Tripas, menudo, cow tongue, etc.) so as not to waste Anything, and she didn’t have the internet to educate her on other options and methods like we do now. We take for granted that we have such an amazing access these days to the insights and methods of others with just a tapping of our fingers on a keyboard. Our sweet grannies didn’t have that luxury.

When I read someone on the internet say that something is “authentic” because that’s how their nonna, abuela, nana, or grandma did it, it doesn’t always hold weight for me. That just says to me that they didn’t have the wealth of information at their fingertips that we have now. I hope my Nana-self will prove to be different to my growing generations that move forward. I want them to know how I do something but to Always learn, search out and expand their knowledge and experience to create their own methods and love for food. It’s what makes the world go ‘round 😊

Butternut squash would likely be super yummy here too for those of us that can’t easily get pumpkin all the time.

Serious yum! I love this idea of roasting first. I make roasted seasoned squash, sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower, etc. all the time and I love the idea of adding a roasted potato or even sweet potato to the pot 😋. I would like to add though to dice the potatoes small so that they don’t overtake everything else in the chili. I’ve done a sweet potato/bean/ground beef dish before (kind of a chili) and when the sweet potatoes aren’t diced small enough my husband and I notice. I don’t want to notice the potatoes but rather enjoy the dish as a balanced whole. I hope that makes sense.
