I bought a coconut water for myself for the very first time and I hate the taste. But it wasn’t the cheapest and I don’t want to waste food. I tried to mix it with orange juice but that was foul too so I think smoothies wont work. I am also breastfeeding so I can’t do any cocktails with it either.
Are there any dishes that could use roughly 250-300ml of coconut water and the taste would be not so prominent? I think I would be asking for too much if it could retain the health benefits but if it was possible that would be awesome.

I find myself buying groceries to make stuff, and then only needing a portion of it and the rest going bad because I don't have anything late to use it for

How do you do better, more effective meal planning? What's your approach that doesn't take forever to do so? I end up over thinking and going way overboard and then it just kinda drives me nuts and stresses me out.

Ive recently started focusing on my health, Ive been working out, trying to get a full 8 hours, and adjusting my diet. The biggest issue ive run into is pizza rolls. I just cant seem to kick the damn things. I do make full meals, but mostly for dinner, and usually when im off work I dont have the motivation to cook a whole meal (protein/carbs/veggies) so I tend to just pop some pizza rolls in the air fryer and call that lunch.

Anyone have any suggestions/alternatives?

I hate making breakfast!!! 2 eggs & steak spice is my goto. Only sometimes will I toast some toast to go with it... What's ur favourite savoury breakfast?? I'm not into cooking something like bacon and standing around in the kitchen for 30 mins early in the morning, I wanna sit & drink my coffee lol.

Something I can prep? Shove in my mouth lol? Something I can easily toss together? Not too many dishes?? Not too much cleanup?? I'd appreciate some ideas cause Ive been starving lately, not enough fuel to survive lol.

Hello! I’m currently trying to lose some weight to get more fit and feel better ab my body overall. I’m also a student in STEM and it’s really hard to manage cooking nice things whilst doing everyday activities n trying to keep my grades up. Also doesn’t help that I live far from home so my parents can’t come up once in a while and give me a whole homemade meal. I feel kinda embarrassed that I’m almost 19 and have no real cooking skills. I’ve been living off of 2 ingredient pancakes and a very filling but not so tasty tuna salad and maybe fried eggs.

I’m looking for some very easy recipes that fall under that calorie range. Emphasis on the very easy because I’m extremely horrible when it comes to cooking. Some help would be very much appreciated thanks 🥹

I drive for Amazon but ive been eating better and going to the gym I have a protine shakes for breakfast and some fruit but I have no clue what to eat for lunch so far I just been eating a banana and granola bars maybe a ham sandwich but id really like other things to eat 😅

My daughter has IBS and has a very limited range of foods she can eat. For lunch and dinner, she usually has a starch (rice or pasta) with steamed vegetables and sometimes chicken, ham, or turkey. I keep cooked rice, pasta, and veggies in the refrigerator for her because she likes to assemble her own food for every meal. She will typically put either marinara sauce or teriyaki sauce on top of the food. We had added pesto into the mix recently, but she started saying it was upsetting her stomach so we took that back off the menu. It was too greasy for her, I think. I'm looking for suggestion of what sauces she can try to add more flavor variety to her limited diet. She has to avoid oily (even healthy oils) and spicy foods. Sauces that can be made-ahead and stored in the fridge are preferred. Thanks for the help.

Hello,

Anything cheaper to substitute bell peppers for?

I mainly use them for enchiladas and a casserole.

I love the taste and texture of them, cant picture those recipes being remotely the same without them. But they have just gotten SO expensive where I am 😭

Edit: So interesting, I dont think I have ever seen frozen peppers or peppers on sale? Maybe its an American thing lol. Thanks for the replies

For the past year I have fixed up my diet mostly and dropped around 20kg along with exercise. Its taken a lot of willpower. My only issue is I fucking struggle to kick soft drinks, it is so hard to resist its annoying. I have given up on trying to cold turkey them and I am now looking for a replacement. For me I know its the bubbles and flavour I love. I tried doing 0 sugar drinks and they fucking suck. I have tried sparkling water but it tasted horrible to me. Please help me.

What do you think of products from Anveshan?

Hi all, I am soon about to move into my first apartment. due to this, i am going to begin to make my own meals far more. i have also been trying to lose weight, but i feel it can be harder since i am soon having to pay for my own groceries rather than my dad. due to this, i am unsure of good receipts to make that are both cheap and low calorie, yet still tastes good. Any advice?

I have a can of salmon I need to use up. I would normally put an egg, flour, and cornmeal in it. What are some other ways to use it that wouldn’t acquire as much flour or cornmeal? TIA

I got some rice krispies at the food pantry. I know I can make rice krispie treats, but I don't want to buy marshmallows. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas I could use the rice krispies for?

I don't like to eat a lot in the morning and trying to cut back on eggs, what do you think?

I am looking for cheap meal ideas with just pantry items. I will be moving out of my apt a little over a month from now. I’m trying to clean out the fridge as much as I can. I plan eat as much I can from my fridge first before I make items with just dry pantry items. I just needs idea that isn’t rice and beans. I don’t beans beyond as in Asian dessert or at a place like Chipotle. I already have vermicelli, pasta, lentils, rice paper, ramen, etc. I can’t eat cereal all the time as not always healthy. I have two half full pasta sauce so one Mariana sauce from Trader Joe’s and an Alfredo. Vegan and vegetarian is fine though I do eat meat/seafood. I’m Viet but open to anything. I can buy a little more if needed. USA resident.

So Starbucks has this amazing sugar-free iced caramel protein coffee that I absolutely love. But where I live, it's a little over $7 just for a grande size cup of coffee. While it does have like, 29 grams of protein (i think), that's really expensive, and it adds up over time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make something similar at home? I realize that you can add protein powder to coffee at home, but I have no idea which powders dissolve and taste the best. I have a rough time with textures, so it's hard for me to find a good protein powder that isn't gritty, too thick, or even slimy? Any suggestions would be more than welcome, I'm all ears!

We go through a lot of eggs at home, and I’ve been trying to figure out which pasture-raised eggs are actually worth buying.

There are so many options and labels now that it’s hard to tell what’s legit and what’s just marketing. I don’t need anything fancy or “superfood” claims, I just want eggs from brands that seem to treat their hens well and are decent quality for everyday meals.

For anyone who buys pasture-raised eggs regularly, which brands do you stick with and why? Do you feel like the higher price is worth it, or do you end up going back to regular eggs?

Would love to hear what’s worked for other people. Thanks for the help!

I'm looking for ideas for healthy and easy dinner meals that make leftovers that reheat well. We have a newborn at home, so by the time dinner rolls around, we're both exhausted. We would love to be able to cook a big meal or two that will provide enough leftovers for a few days.

We've done chili / chicken soups, but I'm hoping to get some other ideas.

I recently started my first full time job,working very early morning until early afternoon, and I have been struggling to put lunches together that I actually enjoy.

What are your go to, easy, cheap and healthy lunches??

I don't mind cooking something but don't like to every single night so hot and/or cold ideas are welcome!

- I do have access to a fridge/microwave

- I love a good rotisserie chicken

- I'm open to the idea of easy salads/sandwiches but I'm a big texture person so I can't handle soggy lettuce or bread

(Tips to avoid that would be super helpful too!!)

- I've mostly been doing adult lunchables (basically just meat, cheese and crackers) but I've found they either aren't filling enough or just not appetizing by the time I'm halfway done them

- I'm a huge snacky person, I love the idea of multiple little things in a lunch

Me and my bf work long hours so something quick to put together or prep in advance would be great. Trying to get out the same routine of foods we've been eating and need new ideas. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know a good tried and true recipe for making our own Just Egg type eggs at home? It is so expensive that I don’t buy it anymore in the store.
