Lots of great advice in here. Especially about spices. You can cook the same things but swap spices, and it will be like a whole new meal.

Invest in some different vinegars to make your own dressing, that you can control the sugar content or use whatever sweetener you like.

Use fresh citrus to brighten flavors. I hate bottled lemon juice, but use that if you have to.

Roast your veggies, root vegs, broccoli and cauliflower- olive oil, salt and pepper, or spice up how you like. Either in the oven, or on the grill. I toss my broccoli and cauliflower with sliced fresh garlic after it's done.

Eat your beans!

Get a food scale.

Black beans are life.

Na probably just leftovers. Debating using the last of this pizza dough, but I gotta leave the oven on max temp for an hr beforehand and it’s too hot out for that

I bought a Ninja oven last year and they heat up in about 3 minutes and are ready to bake, air fry or roast.

Good post.

I don't LOVE fruit because I'm just not a huge sweets person like that. And sometimes I feel like sugar makes me hungry so I might binge.

Olives are an abomination, right up there with celery and pickles. These three "foods" don't even qualify as foods. They exist in nature for the sole purpose to literally RUIN everything they touch.

I think I have to give up on chips for good. I notice that if I have any kind of chips (or Cheez-Its was a guilty pleasure for a while) that I won't eat any healthy alternatives in the house. If I have Doritos in the house, I'm not ever touching baby carrots or apples or bananas until those Doritos are gone. So I just have to accept that I cannot have chips in my house.

But I love your routine of planning meals and knowing what options you have at restaurants so you keep things in check.

I can understand with the olives.

I definitely understand the fruit aspect too. I'm just like that for other sweets, especially candy


Chips are so BS. Legit evil ass food. "Betcha can't just eat one."

How do you make that smoothie?
Just mixed berries and water in a blender?

Probably Ice cubes, frozen berries and kale plus water.

A Lemon or two… sometimes just blueberries. Gotta get those anti oxidants. Or sometimes mixed berries. Or a mango… plus some ginger. I add a lil almond milk (makes it richer/thicker compared to water) water is fine just don’t put too much in. I also add a handful of spinach. Beets are good for folks with high blood pressure—I don’t have it but family member do
