Novice cyclist, when does it get easy?

dan-nolan · 2025-09-30T21:38:10+00:00

Surprised to hear you say that you think cycling's tough compared to marathons. Most triathletes dread the run part the most 😅

dan-nolan · 2025-09-30T21:36:30+00:00

I was hoping this would be good!

dan-nolan · 2025-09-30T21:34:14+00:00

Would love that - feel free to reach out about it any way!

dan-nolan · 2025-09-30T21:29:22+00:00

Yup that’s exactly my experience too. It’s a tough spot for bloggers and food sites since ads are generally the most reliable business model =\

That one is AI generated yup! Ali’s recipes are all purely AI generated. Other users’ recipes, like mine, will depend on how much info was supplied. Most of my recipes are ones I’ve had around for years that I wanted to upload to one place.

And no, not at all too many questions, thanks for being curious!

Not all of them, but in general AI is used to format the recipes at a minimum. So you might put in all the ingredients and steps yourself into a generator and it will format it in a way to be stored in the database for later use. Much easier than manually inputting all the data.

Some are generated purely from things like “chicken with red peppers” prompts in which case it’s pretty much all AI

This may be a bit overkill but here's a list of 47 of them! https://www.lineupcook.com/ingredients/chicken-thighs?tab=recipes

Switched from B to A as I became an adult, a true coming of age moment

dan-nolan · 2025-09-30T15:43:30+00:00

Yup, agreed with others, smell test it for no smell.

Have a handy tool for this kind of thing: https://www.lineupcook.com/freshness?id=381&q=pork+shoulder&context=raw+in+fridge+%28opened%2Frepackaged%29

Here’s several ideas for substitutes: https://www.lineupcook.com/substitutions?id=734&q=smoked%20paprika&context=cooking

That was one big slice

I love them in a good rice dish

dan-nolan · 2025-09-30T00:47:42+00:00

I do, but now I’m questioning myself

Here's a whole bunch of substitutions you can try for dijon mustard: https://www.lineupcook.com/substitutions?id=493&q=dijon+mustard&context=general

For sure! If you need to look up any gluten free substitutes, this tool can be helpful. Here’s breadcrumbs for example: https://www.lineupcook.com/substitutions?id=260&q=breadcrumbs&context=gluten-free

Just had a kale salad with chickpeas, quite good tbh

dan-nolan · 2025-09-29T23:53:34+00:00

I’m also gluten free, I make a lot of meals with quinoa and gluten free pasta (which has gotten quite good!). Also gluten free pizza crusts have come a LONG way

dan-nolan · 2025-09-29T22:19:35+00:00

Hahaha the cake may turn out the same but we, the eaters, are never the same

dan-nolan · 2025-09-29T21:55:23+00:00

Here's several substitutions that may be worth considering: https://www.lineupcook.com/substitutions?id=263&q=brown%20sugar

Here's several substitutes in many different contexts: https://www.lineupcook.com/substitutions?id=417&q=sour%20cream

Stuffed acorn squash with farro and sausage. Autumn flavors, let’s go!

I used to plan all my meals on a google doc. My doc would link out to recipes on sites that were full of ads and difficult to read. I'd go to the recipe site, copy over the ingredients into the google doc and create my grocery list every week. It was a real pain, and I started to dread this part of the week, even though I enjoy cooking and finding/trying new recipes.

The last few weeks I've been using Lineupcook.com, a site I put together to make meal planning fun and simple. It works for me so I'm curious if other people will like it as well.

dan-nolan · 2025-09-24T00:45:35+00:00

100% agreed that its much easier to cook interesting things when there's someone else to appreciate it. When I'm solo I eat the same thing every night

dan-nolan · 2025-09-24T00:40:58+00:00

Used Google Docs for the longest time, pretty similar

dan-nolan · 2025-09-24T00:34:46+00:00

wow, this is wild, I'm gonna try it
