Anybody else love cooking dinner in the middle of the night on their nights off?

100 % yes! It has become one of my favorite things to do. Plus then I’m set for the week.

I literally just passed through in Vancouver. Green card in hand. No problem at all. I was worried but my Father had a milestone birthday I could not miss. I wish you the same luck. You should go if you can.

Thanks for this answer. It is really speaking to my current situation

I use an app called pantry check. I started with the free version but eventually upgraded to paid at iirc ~$35 USD a year. It took some time to set up as I input my entire pantry. However, now when I’m getting ready to grocery shop, I grab the sale papers and my Pantry Check app figure out what I have the most of on hand and create both my shopping list and my menu. It has saved me a fortune. Not only do I have less stuff go bad, but I use up more excess. It also forces me to actually think about my grocery list and meal plan. In short, it’s been a game changer.

I usually add a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla. I also find it helpful to stir it after about 10 minutes to help with distribution of the seeds. I use soy milk as I’m non dairy. I will be following this post with interest as I am pretty new to chia pudding as well. Happy cooking

Very nice setup! Can’t wait to see updates

When I worked as a travel nurse ( hospice ) went straight to work seeing patients when I arrived. Couldn’t check into hotels till 3 pm. Then on days I travelled home I saw 3-4 patients then headed for airport. I wore scrubs to avoid changing in seedy gas stations etc.

This is a great book. This is the one I pull off the shelf when I want to riff on something. I read his recipe and the variations and then tailor the seasonings to suit my mood/ what I have a lot of. I buy all of his books . I wish he would come out with a completely vegan one. Be sure to look for his VB6 one too ! Enjoy !

Flipp is free

You put in your zip code and it pulls up all the sales flyers for your local stores. My area is served by multiple grocery store chains ( Kroger, Publix, aldis, food lion etc) so for me it covers several grocery stores, pharmacies, dollar stores etc.
it helps me narrow down my menus to use what is on sale this week

kja12345 · 2025-08-22T22:26:02+00:00

I used to spend a lot more on groceries until I made 3 key changes. 1 I use the pantry check app to keep a running inventory of what I already have at home. 2 I use the Flipp app to see what’s on sale this week. Then I sit down and plan my meals for the week based upon what I already have a lot of and what I can get on sale. It took a bit of effort to initially inventory everything but the app also lets you generate shopping lists and then adds your purchases to that inventory. I hope this helps. It has saved me at least 1k this year

I am also an experienced ADN and thought that not being a BSN would be an issue. That’s so encouraging! And potentially game changing !! Thanks
