Temu Cordon Bleu!

Frozen chicken patties on bagels (both made in the toaster) with ham, cheese and mayo. It may void the warranty or even be dangerous, but I put the toaster on the highest setting and put the patties down twice in a row.

My wife is out of town, which always exacerbates my bipolar depression and this application is almost zero spoons.

Short Cut Baking?

So one of the things I miss about before is how I used to bake a lot, however right now all the kneading and mixing involved is not doable most days. I know the obvious solution is to get a mixer but that's a bit of a big spend for me right now. I was wondering if anyone had any recipes or knew of a website with recipes that had particularly easy recipes for baking. I'm thinking like premade brownie mix with peanut butter cup mixed in type of recipe.

Bacon Pasta

Hi guys, I made this for my dinner

I barely cook ever, I hate cooking. It makes me so overwhelmed and feel insecure about myself. But im trying to cook more because eating out is way too expensive, also I have bad food restrictions. Trying to get out of my comfort shell!! (also I have severe diagnosed ADHD)

It’s just pasta with some kind of bacon “carbonara” sauce. I used cream for the sauce and added paprika and garlic salt in it. Then mixed it all up and grated cheese on top!!!

Honestly it didn’t taste great but im proud. It’s already better than the one I cooked yesterday

Good night everyone 🩷

Recommendations

My chronic illness has been getting worse again and I've also gotten bad news about my cholesterol being too high and possibly insulin resistance (not confirmed yet but will test for it soon). I also can't eat gluten because I get hives all over my body. I'm at a loss on what to eat. I cook once a week and I freeze my meals in souper cubes. I also have one easy meal like quesadillas that I make when I dont feel like eating my meal prep. Any recommendations on things I could meal prep/eat instead? TIA

Today I had 1 spoon to give. So it was steamed frozen gyoza and instant miso soup with frozen green onions thrown in.

Doing it in the bamboo steamer basket with cabbage as a liner makes me feel very fancy. And back on the couch for the rest of the afternoon!

Tajin soy sauce tofu (no cooking required)

Sorry I finished most of it before thinking of this group and taking a pic lol
This is my current empty fridge struggle meal

  1. Open and drain tofu container
  2. Place tofu on cutting board (or you can slice inside of the tofu package) and slice into bite sized pieces (or you can leave as one big block and eat with a spoon)
  3. Pour soy sauce over tofu
  4. Sprinkle tajin on tofu

Dig in!

Looking for celiac safe ideas for meals

I have celiac disease and run my own business (a celiac safe bakery). Sometimes at the end of the day (especially now in the Canadian Thanksgiving chaos) I have ZERO, ZILCH, maybe even NEGATIVE SPOONS to feed myself. And what sucks is I can’t just grab a pack of ramen because I’m celiac and I can’t grab a kraft dinner cup because diary makes me sick. Lately my go to has been to buy a bag of frozen, sliced, fully cooked chicken breast and bags of microwave rice. Then I just microwave the rice, heat up the chicken, and dump on coconut aminos.

Anyone else have fast easy gluten and dairy free ideas???

Microwave fish nuggets, microwave potatoes and grana padano as topping

I'm currently homeless, so I cook only using microwave and hot water. I adjusted my whole diet on microwave.

Fries turned out to be crispy and not soggy, they taste like from restaurant.
