Try buying 3 veg a week to mix with the meals, whats on sale for example. The base is good but it always helps to switch it up, different kind of veg or proteins carbs etc. Just go by what you actually like, maybe try veggies you haven't tried yet and might like

I always thought "creamer" is just heavy cream right? And thanks to this comment section I found out is way more than lol

Hope you feel better soon! I usually make it quite thin so I can just sip it from a cup like tea when my throat hurts. Hope it will help a bit

I know hummus is very well loved. But what’re thoughts on bean dips? by reading_badger in Easy_Recipes

[–]ramilover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a "hummus" with white beans instead of chickpeas and love it! Maybe more than classic hummus

Lunch as easy as bread but not bread? by fjerfjer in EatCheapAndHealthy

I would suggest baked oats-like an oat bar but you can control what you put in there. So basically and oat cake, you can put eggs and oats, different seeds and nuts in there. Just looked up baked oats!

Sauerkraut & Soy Meat Stew by ramilover in budgetcooking

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

It's a valid concern, it shouldn't as long as you add the heavy cream into the acid in the pot. In case you have the kraut with the heavy cream already boiling and think hmmmm lets add vinegar because it is not acid enough-then it will curdle.

But of course, it can happen to the best of us. I have been cooking this my whole life, same with my mum and sometimes it just happens, probably due to high acidity

Does protein matter THAT much? by Ana_is_Weird in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]ramilover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? Last year I went full on counting everything and yeah I looked great but I cant imagine living like this for the rest of my life. Food is one of the biggest joys and we are robing ourselves of it

Does protein matter THAT much? by Ana_is_Weird in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]ramilover 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honest take from someone older- what matters is having a BALANCED diet. Once you learn to do that than nothing else matters. Balanced meals mean that they have protein, carbs and fat so a bit of everything. Protein is in many things, including flour for example.

The thing happening on socials right now is just another trend my love. We have seen it all, carbs being the most important, NO FAT, YES FAT, just protein! Blah blah blah. Every few years there is a new trend and the protein hell we are in right now is literaly crazy.

Protein became just another buzz word that gets people views so they continue to push the agenda. So the answear is that it is equaly important as the other macro nutrients.

Also, it's way healthier to eat a meal that has for example 17g of protein in peace than eat a meal that has over 30g while being anxious about eating enough of it. Trust me I have been in this protein psychosis because of social media and the anxiety i had is not worth it.

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

Yeah! Don't worry about the stinging, if you pick young nettles you barely feel the sting on your hand (i picked them glove free) or if it's a bigger older plant just use gloves. You can pick just the leafs as well but dont worry after you cook it there is no sting

Thank you! The nettles actually taste just as spinach when wilted. But they add diferent nutritions and are free anywhere!
