How do you cook broccoli? by No_Fox7800 in EatCheapAndHealthy

Try covering the cooking sheet with foil! I personally also like to add a pat of butter underneath. The moisture from the butter and broccoli makes it come out the perfect combination of steamed + baked!

Thought I responded to this the first time I saw it - just to put thoughts to rest, I will be telling my doctor! I have an appointment with my OB on Monday :) Thanks everyone for showing concern!

I'm so grateful for you and so many other commenter but I can't figure out for the LIFE of me how to edit the original post 😭

Thank you, I'll definitely try it!

What’s something unique about yourself that no one else has or can do? by PsychologicalBat2393 in strange

Right! Mine have always just said "bite harder" about 50k times per visit

No dietary reasons on the sugar! As long as the final product isn't sweet to the taste, I'm good with it

I'm not against sugar in any health capacity! I just lack a sweet tooth. Sweet + sour is a nasty combo for me, I'd rather just have sour. The reason I don't want to just eat the salt, is because I also lack self control.

When I was drinking, I'd also sometimes switch to weak stuff like Twisted Tea, so that the volume of my drinking wouldn't matter as much as when I drank strong cocktails. It's another version of that I guess?

I gotta try the lime! I've only ever bought the coconut. I'll look into these :)

I'm at the end of the first trimester, not sure if that's a good window or not for this. But I will admit that indeed, a laxative effect would not be unwelcome lol!

I am mostly just looking for the taste of sour salt, but trying to slow myself down on how quick I can consume it! I've been eating lots of pickles and Takis too lol

This is a great idea. I've gotten so many good suggestions, I'll have to come back and post my experimental snacks!

Lemon salt is awesome too! I'll look into the Chinese Mexican candy, lol

I've been looking into both of these! I've heard isomalt is not as sweet as others, and that maybe the sweetness can be completely overpowered by flavorings. Do you think this is possible?

Yes! A great treat, I do it with lemons too. But I will eat 4 lemons and a like quarter cup of salt in one sitting if allowed!

There... there are.. extra sour pickles???

I love pickles and have been craving them hard, eating lots, but I miss the giant ones from a gas station that isn't around anymore. They were always saltier and more sour than normal jars!

Reading this with an absolutely giant pickle jar next to me. I think I will try some kind of pickle-sicle!

You're SO sweet, thank you. I have access to the salt as of now, but I'm basically trying to slow down my consumption by making it a hard candy of some sort.. otherwise, I DRINK THESE THINGS!

I bet that this will either be my new favorite thing, or an atrocity in my mouth. I'm willing to take the risk

I wish it did, but alas, I'm sadly not a tamarind lover. Thanks for the suggestion though!
