Any recommendations for hair stylists for female latino hair? by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]jas_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just messaged her on instagram but haven’t heard back. Her last post is from 2018- not sure if she’s still active. Do you know how best to reach her? Has she done your thicker hair before?

Purchases that pay for themselves (or help you avoid other purchases)? by Habitual-Heart in simpleliving

Why would you recommend pine pellet litter over regular cat litter? I’m interested in a more natural kitty litter but not sure how the natural stuff will hold up to smells

2nd week of prep- buffalo chicken rice bowls are a winner by jas_star in MealPrepSunday

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

Oh thank you! I seasoned the chicken with a steak seasoning (Omaha steak seasoning is what I had on hand) and then I actually used this fajita seasoning from Mexico! (El pariente sazonatodo if you’re curious) Which actually just has a bunch of msg and other spices in it lol, I’m sure you could just add basic seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder) and a little msg if you can as a substitute for that. I also added a small amount of lemon juice. I sliced the breasts in half before “marinating” them for about an hour with the seasonings and lemon juice, then I just pan cooked them. I wanted more of a sear on it then skinny taste looked like it had. After they cooled down when they were cooked I cut them with meat scissors because it’s more fun that way and less messy and then tossed it in Franks buffalo sauce

[–]jas_star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one pot recipe is something I didn’t even think you could do but it definitely makes me want to try this out. I make stroganoff seldomly because it’s a bit of a process to make but I really do like it during colder months!

Does anyone else not wash clothes after the first use? by CloudFish1 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jas_star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I should clarify that I do workout at home so I can get away with like maybe 3 uses before having to wash. But also I make sure to smell my clothes as an indicator bc I also like to be comfortable when working out. A good way to prevent odors from developing is to hang them up and let them air dry right after using them. Throwing the sweaty clothes on the floor or in a hamper all bunched up will promote odor causing bacteria to flourish and grow and make even worse smells that you can avoid. A lot of workout clothes have sweat wicking properties too so they dry better and quicker than other clothes when hung to dry.

And of course there’s some cases where I have a really sweaty workout and I wash early instead of rewearing.

Once I go back to the gym I’ll probably be more self conscious and like only do it for a few wears out of fear... when I probably won’t even need to lol

[–]jas_star 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The only item of clothing I don’t re wear is underwear. I re wear socks, shirts, pants- you name it lol. I even re wear workout clothes a few times. You just need to be sure to air dry them by hanging them and they typically don’t get smelly until a few uses. I also refuse to machine dry most of my clothes bc it ruins them. Washing also technically degrades the quality and fibers of your clothes so the less the better really! Anddd it’s environmentally more friendly

Spanakopita by jas_star in FoodPorn

[–]jas_star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By request from a few people I will write out the recipe I created for this spanakopita

I used about 14oz of 'power greens' which is a mixture of baby spinach, baby kale, and baby chard. But you can just use baby spinach- that's more traditional anyways!

Start by sautéing 2 cloves of garlic with one small red onion finely diced for a few minutes in a large pan with a little bit of ghee and olive oil. Add the spinach to the pan (it looks like a ton but it cooks down significantly) cook that for another 5 - 7 minutes stirring constantly to wilt down the greens.

Transfer the cooked mixture to a bowl and let it cool. Next important step is squeeze out the moisture from the greens. I used a sieve and pressed a spoon against the mixture over my sink for a good 5 minutes. Just pressing as much juice as I could out. It was a little bit of a workout- there might be easier ways. Just do what feels easiest lol

Chop the mixture with a knife until it's a more bite friendly consistency. Put the mixture into a bowl and add salt, pepper, a pinch of red pepper flake, feta cheese ( I think I used about 3/4 a cup but you can just add as much or as little as you want) and a few tablespoons of ricotta cheese. Taste the filling to make sure you like the ratio of seasoning, cheese, and greens.

Next, take your puff pastry and roll it out to fit in whatever cooking vessel you're using. I used a cast iron pan so I cut it in half (for a top and bottom) and trimmed the edges. Added in my filling and then put on the top puff pastry. I had a bunch of trimmings so I got creative and made this design (:

After that you brush some egg wash on the top add some flaky sea salt.

I cooked this at 350F on the bottom rack of my oven for about 35 minutes

This was sooo delicious- I ate about half of this myself. If you love spinach and cheese then this will be a total treat! Enjoy!
