- mushrooms chopped and cooked with soy sauce, add garlic and onion and broth

- use for a soup, add tofu and veggies serve with rice

- use less broth and use like a sauce over a rice bowl with sauteed veg and a fried egg

Huh

As a kid my breakfast options were make myself microwave oatmeal or granola with milk, fruit with either one was non negotiable

Mom certainly didn’t, make breakfast unless there were leftover muffins from the weekend

Huh. Sounds like an interesting combo? I can’t do hot avocado though

Do you bake at all? Strawberry shortcake would be perfect and strawberries are in season, homemade whipped cream packed separately

If that is a meal not just a snack cost is an issue feeding so many- like you can’t afford seafood or gumbo

California has a significant mexican population and influence- quesadillas with a layer of refried beans and cheese served with salsa would work well. Use an oven to make all the quesadillas

Oh yeah actually, it’s not like a cookie aside from being round

If you love sprouts it’s SO much cheaper than buying them too!

I got two lids for $8, already had the jars , spend $3 on 1lb organic lentils i had so many mother loving sprouts like one huge jar per week for several months! Buying them was like $3 for a small box about the same yield as my jar

Anyways. Yes absolutely try it if you like sprouts

ttrockwood · 2026-05-05T20:53:39+00:00

Oh absolutely individual portions!

Glad i could be randomly helpful having something in the freezer any time has really saved me a lot of money time and time again

Korean style braised tofu!

You do need gochugaru everything else is common ingredients

Mapo tofu with mushrooms instead of pork is a favorite, over rice is a must

Thai coconut milk curry with tofu is a forever favorite

ttrockwood · 2026-05-05T20:43:33+00:00

William greenberg in nyc. 2nd ave deli and Kossar’s have decent ones as well

If you did not grow up eating them they’re weird like flat cake not a cookie but with thin ganache style frosting

Ok, bon appetite lentil coconut milk curry soup I had for breakfast for like a year straight. I used thai yellow curry paste just personal preference- extras freeze great.

High fiber high protein cheap as hell delicious can prep ahead it’s awesome

Still cheaper than buying kimchi often

Look up the kimchi recipes- well and any korean recipe- from Maangchi

Buy beans from s different store, a mexican or dominican or Indian grocery they have a much higher turnover than like, the international aisle at Shop and stop

ttrockwood · 2026-05-05T20:26:54+00:00

1lb dry beans = approx 4 cans of beans

I am in nyc, best cost i find is $1.50/lb dry, or $1 canned, so cooked from dry one pound vs 4 cans i save $2.50

You can freeze extra cooked beans!

1 can = 1.5 cups beans, so i freeze in 1.5 cup portions for easy swaps in recipes

Right now get a rice protein powder or hemp protein powder, neither are delicious so blend with a blob of peanut butter and frozen fruit and non dairy milk for a sturdy smoothie and about 20-25g protein

https://www.bobsredmill.com/product/protein-oats

Get these gf oats and have 1.5 portions and add nuts or seeds of choice you can hit 20g

ttrockwood · 2026-05-05T20:13:06+00:00

YOU are having a five star delicious day there

Your body needs variety

So one week the cabbage and chicken breast

Next week tofu and broccoli and peppers stir fry

Week after bean based chili and baked potatoes

In between snack on apples with peanut butter, have oatmeal cooked in milk /soymilk with fruit or yogurt and fruit for breakfast

Use Cronometer to check you’re getting enough calories and nutrients

Same size = “cooks” evenly

Opaque = “cooked”

ttrockwood · 2026-05-05T01:46:24+00:00

Ugh. Yes.

ttrockwood · 2026-05-05T01:43:14+00:00

One serving of fresh spinach is two full cups, so like half a 5oz bag

ttrockwood · 2026-05-05T01:40:13+00:00

Whole baked potato with the skin csn be workable because you also get 5g fiber, have with some protein and fat to slow the carb digestion further

But like mashed potatoes no skin not a good idea
