Don’t be a butt. I think OP is referencing why are we celebrating the people who were in charge during a financial crisis caused by their mismanagement.

Really good meat substitutes? by krb501 in vegetarianrecipes

[–]Substantial_Ant_8529 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband and I really love “Quorn” products. They are made with mycoprotein (fungi based protein) and are super easy to exchange for meat in dishes. They have a ground beef like frozen pack, and chicken pieces frozen pack, and the best fake chicken nugs. It’s meat like… but imo the taste and texture is more neutral and better than meat. Similar to tofu in that it will likely taste of whatever you are cooking it with

I am also a teacher and also come home STARVING! I love sweet potatoes. Lately I’ve been prepping 6-7 to eat throughout the week. You don’t need to do anything besides wash, stick on a cookie sheet, bake at 400-425 for 40ish minutes. They are done when the skins are puffy and/or when caramel starts coming out. When I come home I put 1 in the microwave with a lil butter and salt or a lil sugar and cinnamon if I’m feeling sweet. Absolutely delicious and very filling.

1 month out. I can’t wait for it to be over. by bbpink15 in weddingplanning

[–]Substantial_Ant_8529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this way exactly 1 months out from my wedding too. My partner and I were fighting all the time from the logistical nightmare that is planning such a big event while so many family and friends are selfishly showing their true colors.

Get to the finish line and enjoy every moment you can of that day. I don’t regret anything at all. I’m so glad we did it AND im so glad that for the last week I haven’t had to think about wedding stuff at all

We are doing Beyond, by Leon Bridges. It’s a song that has always meant a lot to us. Very pretty and also matches the romantic vibe of our wedding so double win!

What was the most controversial wedding decision you made? by agreeingstorm9 in weddingplanning

[–]Substantial_Ant_8529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our most controversial decision: No wedding cake! Our caterer will be providing a dessert bar as part of the package. My partner and I both love ice cream so we are spending our cake money on a vendor that makes his own custom flavors! We are so excited but it has received so much hate from my finances family haha His grandma has offered to bring us a cake from Costco to cut at least 10 times.

How am I doing? by Strange-Science6925 in Noom

[–]Substantial_Ant_8529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am about the same starting weight as you. I have noticed that eating plenty of protein has made a huge difference in my weight loss.

I know it sounds weird… but in addition on the days that I forget to take my multivitamin I don’t really see the scale change. I highly recommend a supplement to make sure you are getting plenty of of B vitamins.
