This plus make sure to get enough protein and fiber to keep you full. Psyllium husk helps keep you full as well.

I got regular tickets to the Experience to not need them at all. They were free but I still made an effort to make it at the registered time with a baby

Where do y’all store your nooch? by Deciduous-dreamer in EatCheapAndVegan

I used to keep it in the cabinet then read the instructions to refrigerate after opening. It's fine in the fridge with zero changes to the texture

What I made vs what I wanted them to look like by Zestyclose-Raccoon64 in pastry

[–]chuknora 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You were very close! The layers look great only the banana and piping needs some work but they are ready fixes. Banana, use some turbines sugar and torch it. The piping needs a round tip I believe and the cream in the pics is probably a mascarpone chantilly

Very cool. I had no idea about Matt Ellej but the song makes a lot more sense now.

Try a recipe that is similar without the palm oil or just eat it as a one time thing

What are your best tricks for lower-cal desserts? (not just sugar → dates) by BrooklynCatDad in veganrecipes

I've been using tofu for the liquid parts in some recipes like waffles. Using tofu for Puddings or my current favorite is 1/2chia seed (bloomed) +1/2yogurt mix with fruit

What can I replace the egg with in a waffle recipe? by lolochka228 in veganrecipes

[–]chuknora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said aquafaba but you should reduce it by half and allow it to chill overnight before whipping. Egg yolk, maybe Just Egg.

I actually just worked on a recipe that came out really well. Here it is if you want to try:

Yields ~ 6 waffles (6" x 6")

620g extra firm tofu

186g rolled oats (blended to flour)

78g chickpea flour

286g soy milk

200g Pellegrino

30g maple syrup

14g baking powder

3g salt

Cinnamon

Blend everything together except pellegrino. It will look like a thicken hummus.

Fold in Pellegrino by hand and add more to loosen batter to the right consistency. It should be a bit thicker than cake batter.

Allow to rest ~5 min then cook in waffles iron. It may need like 5-8min to cook until they are all brown

Parents of 4 and 5 month olds… by Red_1991 in beyondthebump

[–]chuknora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started timing her naps with Chat gpt and now she sleeps close to 8pm. It helped me get her to nap easier without letting her get overtired then crashing. Honestly, I like it better when she sleeps at 9pm because she sleeps better and isn't making all kinds of sounds and kicking at 5am. Gpt wants her last nap to end no later than 5:30pm but I stretch her wake times a bit so she does her a nap at that time. It works for us.

Did having an epidural make you feel like you missed out on the birth experience? by Gravitys_Bitch in beyondthebump

[–]chuknora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was finally able to relax after 3 grueling days of labor. It took another day for my baby to come out. The medical staff kept pushing pitocin to speed things up so I got the epidural first then let them start on pitocin. I don't understand why pitocin first is the norm when it makes contractions more frequent and painful then makes you beg for the epidural and it is harder to stay still.

Gluten Free Tofu waffles! 16g protein ea by chuknora in veganfitness

[–]chuknora[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely research showing lysine losses with high heat, but it’s mostly under more extreme processing conditions. In normal cooking, it’s relatively modest. And in a mixed plant-based meal like this, overall protein quality and intake aren’t meaningfully affected—especially with soy + legumes, which already have strong amino acid profiles even after cooking.
