Hello hello! So I’m trying to broaden my culinary horizon right now, things have gotten a bit stale since I have a mild case of ARFID and tend to fall back on safe foods (protein bars, fruit pureés, burritos) when I don’t keep an eye on my diet. Ideally I’m looking for something that’s healthy and reqires little prep. And it should be obtainable in Germany. But if the title speaks to you in any other way I’m interested to hear your thoughts anyway.

Millet, Spelt, Cranola, …
There’s many grains you can put in pillows 🛌. Although you generally use the chaff.I’ve heard good things about buckwheat
Sumac. Put that shit on your winter baked potatos peeps, you’re welcome
Rice cooker saved my life. I add whatever I have lying around that doesn’t require cooking like ham, pickles, canned veggies or fruits, fresh or dried fruits, etc, and if I’m feeling fancy I might boil eggs. Plus mushroom sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or soy sauce. If you can find black rice in asian supermarkets it’s even better.
How do you feel about oatmeal? It’s healthy and has much more potential for adding flavors to than most people ever consider. It’s pretty neutral and makes a good canvas for other flavors.
For example, you can add cheese to make something like a healthier Mac and cheese. The starch makes it sort of creamy.
But you might want to upgrade from rolled oats to steel cut oats. You get much more “tooth” to your oatmeal and not just mush. Unless the mush is what you like. You can also use whole oats for even more “tooth”.
Steel cut oats in my instant pot every morning. 1:2 oats to water, a little vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, 4 minutes high pressure with 10 minutes natural release. It doesn’t take long until it’s just a habit you never want to break. Your colon will thank you.
what food item are people sleeping on
I sleep on a mattress, actually.
Yeah, but I’ve got chip crumbs on mine
Fucking trust me on this - roasted radishes.
Try it and thank me later.
hay.
Hay gurl
hay it geg
Another post, another horse
Green beans!
Charcuterie plates
Cold cuts, cheeses, fresh/dried fruit, vegetables/pickled vegetables, bread/crackers, etc.
Make whatever plate combination you’re in the mood for from a variety selection, i like to stock about 3 options from each category to feel like I have choices
Girl dinner is trending if anything, not exactly being slept on.
Fair 😂 I focused on easy/low prep and availability in Germany which brought me to the german deli/bakery I used to go.
I’ve really been enjoying chia seeds recently. They are great in smoothies. Spinach too, it’s essentially undetectable so you can just add a handful of either. Works great in any type of smoothie, and feels like “dessert” even when it’s just fruits and veggies and seeds. Plus, you can freeze (or buy) frozen produce, or freeze what you can’t eat, so it keeps for ages.
Unflavored yogurt tends to work best, imo.
Do r our food in your bed. It will be gross, and be very uncomfortable for sleeping.
Edible insects! They yummy!!! 😋😋😋
And there are many established culinary practices for cooking them from vastly different cultures, so there’s also a good variety of recipes you can find and try out!
Take vegetable. Saute with olive oil, a little salt, and some seasoning. Vegetables taste amazing and people just don’t eat enough of them, and I think it’s because they don’t cook them right.
Piggybacking this comment because similar:
Chop up some veggies (I like zucchini, yellow squash, onions, and maybe carrots), toss them in olive oil, salt, some seasoning, and an acid like lemon juice or wine (or a little balsamic vinegar if you want that vibe), then throw it into a lubed pan and into a preheated oven until roasted to your liking (probably like 15-20 minutes at 400°F).
I like this method because it’s largely passive, so this can happen while you deal with some other part of your meal. Sauce, meat, rice, whatever. Plus it’s pretty hard to fuck up unless you forget to use a timer lol.
I personally love roast veggies. The issue with eg stir fried or sautéed vegetables, for me at least, is that they don’t microwave well because for both stir fry and sautéed veggies, part of the appeal is some crunch that remains in veggies like broccoli, carrots, baby sweetcorn, etc. But microwaving them to reheat just makes them go mushy. With roast veggies, they are quite soft anyway, so as long as you are not going for a crispy exterior they will microwave well.
I guess that’s one of my big issues with vegetables, is that I feel I usually have to cook them fresh. Otherwise the texture is not nice to me if I cook a lot of veggies to reheat over the next few days.
For roast veggies: olive oil and whole cloves of garlic with the skin on. You can smash them to release more flavour, but that also makes it more likely that the garlic will burn, which is a shame because roast garlic makes for a delicious garlic-flavoured spread on toast. Add whatever seasoning you like; I go with rosemary and then whatever spices on my spice rack look good.
My bed, normally, with a rare nap on the couch. Why would anyone sleep on food?
You just had me look up the idiom to make sure I got it right 😅
Let me rephrase in accordance with the definition that came up: Which important or impressive food items are people not paying enough attention to?
Due to disability I practically live in my bed. I often sleep on nuts, noodles, peas and rice. Once I slept on a chicken nugget.
Personally I think it’d be nice to sleep on a giant, freshly baked loaf of sourdough bread.
O_O
Any type of bean. You can make dips, chili, put them in rice, and they are really healthy.
I love beans! The burritos I make usually contain some baked tofu and onions, brown rice and refried as well as whole beans. They’re like at least 70% bean 😄 Best way to get some protein in when you prefer plant based foods.
If you like beans, the pressure cooker is your friend, and the best one is German: Fissler.
The recipe from ‘Jose el Cook’ on YT for Arroz Rojo is really good.
Added kidney beans in the riceToo bad that reheating in the microwave makes it a bit too dry and it needs some protein which is also hard to reheat at work.
