School's almost starting for me, and a problem I have is that I can't make myself eat much of a breakfast, but my stomach starts rumbling- very loudly- as soon as my classes start, it seems. Even when I'm really not hungry. I wouldn't mind too much if I wasn't already in a position where people find a lot of reasons to bully me-- any ideas to silence my stomach until lunch?

I'm in highschool, and I'm never hungry in the morning. Sometimes I force myself to eat breakfast but I'm always hungry around 10 am whether I eat it or not.

I'm thinking of eating breakfast at school instead.

What is cheap and easy to prep and eat at school? No nuts!

My grandfather taught me this and am posting it in case it is not widely known. The best way to peel a boiled egg is to remove the top shelf and then continue with a spoon as shown in the picture. Absolute game changer!

TIL you can chop up your left over fresh basil, parsley, rosemary, coriander. pack them into an ice cube tray and cover with olive oil before freezing. Next time you’re cooking just toss a cube into the pan. no chopping, no waste, and it still tastes fresh :)

I was just eating some plain toaster waffles and I thought, “yknow, what if I tried these with peanut butter and jelly?” And then I started thinking about how other people might eat toaster waffles. So I’m asking you, people of Reddit:

How do you eat your toaster waffles? The more creative, the better!

I’ve been trying to streamline cooking because I get home late and don’t want to spend an hour in the kitchen every night. I already do some meal prepping, but I feel like there must be smarter little hacks that make a big difference. What are your small-but-mighty food hacks that save you serious time or effort?

Every time I buy papaya, it goes moldy very quickly. What can I do?

I’m trying to eat more vegetables but sometimes it feels like I’m forcing myself. I know blending, roasting, and soups can help, but I’d love to hear your creative hacks for adding veggies in ways that don’t feel boring or repetitive.

since I started cooking, ive been trying random hacks. so todayyy I mashed up bananas, tore bread into small pieces, added some milk and an egg… and somehow ended up with pancakes.

noooot sure if this is an actual thing or if I just invented it in a chaotic moment, but it surprisingly tasted good (a little soft in the middle, so maybe needs more cooking next time). some flips were a win, some were total fails 😂 but overall it worked!

Here’s what I did (my chaotic guide): mash 1 ripe banana in a bowl and the tear up 1–2 slices of bread into small pieces and mix it in. add 1 egg and about 2–3 tbsp milk. mix everything into a thick batter. add some sugar or vanilla if u have! heat a pan, grease lightly, pour small scoops, and cook like pancakes. flip carefully (mine didn’t always cooperate 😭). optional: drizzle chocolate syrup on top I did a lil swirl and it was chef’s kiss.

a huggeeee shoutout to chatgpt who helped me figure out the steps while I was winging it feels like I had a virtual sous chef guiding me.

if you’re a good cook, please try this hack and let me know if it’s actually genius or just cursed chaos. either way, im superrr proud of my little pancake frankenstein moment tehe!

So as the title says i found a method to make rice flour with a normal blender but it does take 2-3 days to make so i recommend making a big batch but it comes out super smooth like super market smooth so I'll write the steps down. Warning it does take a long time but its worth it:

These are the steps one by one:

-Soak rice (long or short grain) in water in a 1 to 2 ratio (2 cups of water for every cup of rice) for 4-6 hours or preferably overnight (depending on the variety)

-After soaking put in a high speed blender for around 5-8 minutes till it becomes some kind of juice (if the water is not enough add more till it covers the rice)

-After turning it into juice pour it onto a large flat plate and let that dry out until it cracks into individual pieces that no longer stick to the bottom of the plate and are completely deatached, mainly for 8-10 hours or until dry(try not to use a plastic plate as it will crack if u sun dry it)

• After Drying It should just slide off the plate if not just tap it on a flat surface and it should come off. if not let it dry more (it should feel abit like chalk if correctly done)

-After Finally Drying, Blend For 5-8 (make sure to cover all the holes on the blender if there are any by putting a towel on it or the air will become infested with rice flour)

-Tap it on A flat surface until all the flour settels in the blender

-Last Step Put in a container Enjoy! Generally has a long shelf life if stored properly (up to 2-3 years or even forever)

So my boyfriend works for a pork processing company and often gets a free ham around the holidays. We have had this behemoth of a ham/ pork shoulder sitting in our little freezer since Christmas and it’s taking up space. I want to prepare this thing in a way that we can use the meat and bone for multiple things. I already am thinking a ham and bean soup, ham and potatoes… but I could use some suggestions to A. Cook this thing to use in multiple meals. B. Once it’s cooked what to make with it.

Alexander HAMelton is currently chilling in the crock pot in the sink to defrost a bit.

It's literally just caramel poured into upside down waffle mold (the kind you use in a sandwich maker).

Their price is their weight in sugar and energy used to caramelize and melt said sugar.

And thank me later

I have problems eating mayo. It may be all the oil or the under cooked eggs, I dunno.

In summertime I like to have deviled eggs on hand. I usually make them with just mustard and pickle relish. Used to be that the sweet of the relish with the vinegar in the mustard was it for me but lately I've noticed that it's kinda harsh.

Is there anything I can use to soften the flavor without making me sick?

I drink cow milk in the morning with Kelloggs, could I replace the cow milk with something healthier?

I’ve been thinking of eating on a budget to reduce costs as i’m headed towards a deficit. I work out quite a bit, calisthenics in the morning, lifting in the evening, and soccer 2-3 times per week. Taking this into mind, and the fact that i’m at my peak bulk, I likely need to eat 2.5k calories per day to get a good caloric deficit. What non-perishable foods would you guys recommend in bulk to maintain muscle mass and drop weight? I already spend about 80$ on 40lb of chicken through Costco Business center. And I was considering getting some powdered milk as well (idk how much that would cost per month). I also have a gallon of olive oil that I get from an authentic place for a great price 34$ for a gallon. Please drop any other recommendations?

Btw; no soy please. 🙏

Ideas of protein rich foods besides meat/fish and eggs…especially snacks!!

I’ve started using lentil pasta instead of regular or even the barilla protein stuff. If I buy frozen nuggets I get the lightly breaded ones (lower carbs). I have a protein drink I like and add protein powder and PB2 to smoothies I make every 2-3 days, I can’t tolerate any more frequently than that.

I do not like cottage cheese (texture, no matter the size of the curd)

I do not like greek yogurt (the taste, no matter what I put in it/pair with it…even if I bake with it or one time my friend made a smoothie and put one small spoonful of it in and blended it up without me knowing and I could still tell)

Also don’t like chickpeas/hummus (not quite sure if it’s the texture or taste, have tried different brands, flavors, roasting my own and trying different seasonings etc.). There are a few kinds I’ve tried that I tolerated, but not enough to buy it again and eat it before it would go bad.

Bonus points if low fat as well…I had my gallbladder removed so I don’t tolerate fats well (even healthy fats like avocados)

The banana’s are overripe. The cherries are frozen and need to be pitted. The apricot is purée and also frozen. And the grapes need to be harvested off the vine next week.

The cherries are sweet. The grapes are white. I usually juice the grapes, but I’m feeling adventurous. Can I make a jam or jelly? Some type of bread? I make fruit leather all the time. But I have a LOT of cherries and bananas and grapes.

Anybody got any good recipes or ideas they are willing to share?

I think Peanut Butter on a Cheeseburger is delicious. My brother loves eggs and ketchup.

Hi all, so I personally really love Dunkin Refreshers. But I’ve had my two personal issues with them: they’re super high in sugar, and the caffeine content is also pretty high and leaves me feeling jittery, anxious, and ultimates crashes me out instead of leaving me energized. So I got to thinking, and realized these drinks are essentially green tea and some type of juice. I went to my local Publix and picked these items up:

•Any type of tea (I chose a caffeinated Green tea) •Any type of liquid flavoring

I steep the tea in a mug, and poured over ice once it’s cooled down enough. Add in the flavoring, and it’s done! If you’re in a rush you can add the hot tea to about a 3/4ths cup of ice. I sometimes like to add half a probiotic soda (Dr D’s Sparkling Apple is my personal favorite). What I like about this drink is that you can personalize it as much or as little as you want! I thought this was a fun, cost effective and healthy way to spice up my tea drinking habits and still satiate my refresher cravings!
