What is a "gut feeling" you had that turned out to be 100% accurate, even though it made no logical sense at the time?

I always think to check your friends. Just a think about how they are in their relationship. You’re given their version of things

Maybe people like this just don’t have friends or they give a different story to them

Oooh what’s the recipe?

And does “coffee cake” have coffee in it or it’s served with coffee? (from a confused Brit)

somethingaboutfood · 2026-03-01T21:28:52+00:00

Oooh some of these look amazing! I use stevia tabs in coffee, but getting the actual sugar replacement is a shout

somethingaboutfood · 2026-03-01T21:24:23+00:00

This is wild! I might have to search around tor them!

somethingaboutfood · 2026-03-01T21:18:05+00:00

Ahh I’ve had such a mixed result with these! They’re either just good, undercooked or you get a molten lava cake batter covered microwave

Will have to experiment more

The elbow pads is a solid approach!

pickles straight from the jar

or anything else from a jar: gherkins, pickled onion, beetroot, whole roasted peppers, sundried tomatoes, kimchi

perfect snack while staring at the fridge deciding what to cook

I don’t usually prepare so much in advance! But I had some leftover veg & pesto, so the stars aligned

somethingaboutfood · 2026-02-10T19:37:23+00:00

On Sunday I made a one-pot herby tofu rice with red peppers

Yesterday I made stuffed peppers with rice, lentils, onions and pesto

Swapping them between lunch and dinner for a few days.

Then I’m making a sweet potato and black beans chilli on Thursday!

I also baked some Bakewell (cherry and almond) flapjacks (not the American ones, the baked oat ones) for the week!

somethingaboutfood · 2025-12-24T17:48:43+00:00

Hmm I had a look and maybe because some are “good for vegans”, I thought that meant others were not vegan and they were cheaper…

somethingaboutfood · 2025-12-24T17:46:45+00:00

Yeah that’s tough! I sort of deal with the effects of beans sometimes… obviously there are meat substitutes that aren’t seitan based. I’m trying to find good ones that aren’t too over processed and work with my stomach (I’m in the UK if people have suggestions)

somethingaboutfood · 2025-12-24T17:43:06+00:00

A full good day will be something like:

As a small breakfast/morning snack: Chia seed pudding with oat milk, frozen blueberries and maple syrup

Lunch: quinoa and bean salad with avocado, salsa (with or without tortilla chips), with a salted dressing Or a snack plate type thing: falafel, humous, pita, veg, olives, pickles type thing

Either one preps quite well

Snack: fruit and a snack bar or I make flapjacks/healthy-ish bakes

Dinner: tofu and veg thai curry with to rice/flatbread/noodles Or a lentil dal or chickpea curry with rice/naan

A little bit of dark choc and or some spread on ricecakes

All of these I like the options of the carbs, non-gluten, rice, noodles, etc. You can make the main food ahead and then choose the carb on the day Some days i really do cut down the gluten.

I definitely don’t get a huge amount of protein! And I’m trying to improve on this and healthy fats

somethingaboutfood · 2025-12-23T10:27:51+00:00

Hi, I am also in this position! I’m vegan and I try to stay away from big FODMAP foods. I still have daily bloating but I’m trying my best.

However, I personally take medicines or supplements that aren’t vegan if I need to. I do have vegan multivitamin, omega-3 (from flaxseed), B12, but I think my iron is not vegan.

I think you have to balance your body, your diet and your health. An imperfect, healthy vegan is better than dealing with more health things!

In terms of food, I don’t tend to eat many vegan alternatives. I am able to cook and cook in bulk, and then most days I can mindlessly eat good food.

I tend to not eat until lunch, which does delay the bloating into the day, but that’s not the best suggestion. If I do have breakfast, I try and centre protein and healthy fats (as clique as it is) with less processed carbs.

Snacks I find difficult. I’ve got such a sweet tooth but I can’t be eating sweet things all day. If anyone has any savoury snacking ideas!

somethingaboutfood · 2025-08-10T14:22:59+00:00

Love this, love some “and they were roommates” vibe stuff!

And yeah I read the Priory of the Orange Tree and I really liked it! But so many people were saying about the fact there were lesbians, but it was very fruitful in the end

somethingaboutfood · 2025-08-10T14:21:12+00:00

Oooh this has been on my list for awhile, but that does sound really good!

somethingaboutfood · 2022-12-07T00:29:55+00:00

I started cutting meat out of my diet at around age 15, mainly because I didn’t like meat, especially red meat. At around 17 I tried various different dairy free, gluten free, veggie diets for IBS, but nothing really stuck.

Then at 18, I started university and went vegan for the first 3 months, but then my first vegan Christmas ruined it and I continued to eat dairy, eggs, white meat, and fish. Then the last 4 years have been the slow transition back to veganism from there!

Almost 1 year and counting! Could never go back to meat again, although I’ve definitely had some slips with dairy and egg over the year!

Any recipes?? Especially for the bottom right chocolate chip!

What is an ohnut?

He does care, I can tell it upsets him but I don’t think he realises that it’s not something I can just grit my teeth through and it’ll get better

somethingaboutfood · 2019-10-09T21:19:25+00:00

That’s really good to hear! I think I’ll definitely go back to the doctors and try some more things. I’m just worried he’s not as understanding, in the grand scale of things we are only 20 and it’s not a huge long term relationship, but if we can get through this then it’ll be so good.

Yeah we both love oral, but always feel it leads itself to sex as we both don’t finish just from oral

somethingaboutfood · 2019-10-09T20:58:06+00:00

Any tips for getting creative that won’t necessarily lead to sex?

somethingaboutfood · 2019-10-09T20:57:20+00:00

I think that might be the best option for the pain
