Look at all this morrel shiitake and portobella goodness that's going to get mixed in with my ricotta and baked into a delicious vegetarian lasagna. Muahahahaha

just made this with my partner for lunch and it was so good. i'm not the best at stir frying yet but i'm quite happy with how this turned out! 😋

It doesn't seem to correlate with price at all, and they all list the same ingredients, so I'm at a loss for what's causing this. Like some cans are completely fine and don't pop at all, with others a few will burst without force, and with others they just kind of aggressively burst and launch themselves and anything around them out of the pan.

To be clear because I realized the wording was a little ambiguous, it's not the literal can bursting, they're obviously not being cooked in the can.

Every time I've had hot pot, I smell like broth for at least a day. I have no idea how the place didn't smell like pee.

Listen just add a can of beans to everything you do. As for flavours? Just colour match, beans are built like that. Easy, cheap, nutritious filling to anything. There isn't anything they don't go with.

"Oh no but I'll get the farts" yeah whatever suffer through it for a week or so while your digestive systems readjusts to actually having nutrients and fiber (unless you have health conditions).

It’s got black beans kidney beans tofu zucchini carrot tomato jalapeño birdseye chilli red chilli cumin garlic smoked paprika fresh coriander ground coriander seeds dried coriander leaves and black pepper. And veggie stock and a tiny bit of soy sauce.

I usually use TVP instead of tofu but I couldn’t find any at the shop so it’s a lot mushier than usually cos of all that tofu moisture. Still tastes great tho.

Hanging out on XHS so much is definitely influencing my eating habits. You can air fry tofu so many ways!

This is some veggie fried rice I made topped with dijon mustard and air fried marinated tofu and green onion. Healthy, easy and delicious!

I put refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, candied jalapeños, vegan mayo, and spicy taco sauce. It's on a baguette instead of a bolillo because the bolillos near me are not vegan, and the baguettes are way cheaper too.

There was a huge discount on the vegan mayo at a further grocery store, and I usually don't get vegan mayo because of how pricey it is, but that discount was able to get me 2 big-ass jars for a very low price.

I feel silly that I didn't know this.

Because of incidents with a certain racist asshat, I have not been using pots, pans, and basically anything in the kitchen besides the microwave for a bit now. This was upsetting to me at first because my go-to struggle meal that I virtually ate every single day seemed impossible for me to make now: pasta and beans.

After craving pasta badly one day, I literally asked ChatGPT if it was possible for me to cook pasta by microwaving it, and it is! I've been able to enjoy my classic meal with no hassle now, and honestly... that shit is enough to make me cry.

This meal got me through because:

• It's cheap as fuck.

• It's got decent protein and leaves me pretty full.

• It's yum.

• For some reason, though I can be picky at times for other foods, I literally never could get tired of it, even eating it meal after meal, every single day.

I just put my pasta in this 32-ounce, rather tall microwave-safe bowl of mine, fill it up with water that covers it by about an inch, and I microwave it with two other dishes underneath: one regular bowl and a Chinese food container. Though it sounds convoluted, the water will eventually boil over. Doing it this way catches any water that boils over.

1. I cook it for 6 minutes and stir it halfway through after 3 minutes pass.

2. After that, I let the last 3 minutes pass and stir it again.

3. I do it for another 2 minutes and then stir one more time.

And the best part? To me, it doesn't give a "It's not as good as boiling pasta in a pot, but it'll do" vibe. It literally tastes just fine to me; I can't sense a difference.

Good God. I'm happy about this.

I was inspired to make this after looking into ideas for simple, cheap, and delicious plant-based sandwiches. I especially wanted something with a good deal of protein.

Here's how I made it (using canned lentils):

Ingredients:

• 1 can of lentils
• ½ cup of ketchup
• 1 tbsp of yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp of soy sauce
• ½ tsp of garlic powder
• ½ tsp of onion powder
• ½ tsp of smoked paprika
• 1 tsp of maple syrup
• hamburger buns

Instructions:

1. Mix the ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and maple syrup into a microwave-safe bowl,
2. Add the lentils after draining them. Stir everything together.
3. Microwave for about 2 minutes; stir halfway through.
4. Put on a hamburger bun, use toppings if you'd like, and enjoy!

calling a bell pepper a mango?? get the fuck out

Hospital food: Is it really as bad as we’re supposed to think it is?

Meet Bill, a hot cook at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Magee-Womens Hospital. He cooks hundreds of meals a day for patients with a variety of health conditions, dietary restrictions and personalized needs. Follow along as Priya shadows him and his colleagues through a 10-hour shift to find out what goes into these meals, who’s responsible for feeding patients day in and day out, and most important, how they pull the whole operation off.

Is there a good or best vegan butter?

I fried tofu and mixed vegetables with turmeric, saffron, ground mustard, nutritional yeast, garlic salt and pepper. Topped with daiya plant based cheddar. Quick, easy, vegan, delicious!

As a long time sourdough baker and a lover of all things fermented, wanted to share this one here.

It's by degrowth peeps who can do everything, but say socialism/communism. But it was still worth the read imo.

And I dont know what the fuck to do with it, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thank you all for the suggestions, I'm significantly less stressed about my impulse cabbage purchase now

Anyone have a decent recipe that isn't tailored to the burger American palette? Every recipe I see is like "add a dash of red pepper flakes" when I know I should probably be using sambal oelek or red curry paste
