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.

Shakshuka with some pita is one of my comfort foods. I use David Lebovitz’s recipe

Used to make that all the time, thanks for the reminder. Recipe sounds good, personally I like to put beans in the sauce for added protein.

Brining chicken for salads! I eat a salad every day for lunch, which sounds boring. But if you brine your chicken breasts in a salt solution for about an hour before baking, it gives you amazing salad chicken, like you’d get in a restaurant. Just pat dry, brush with olive oil, season with your vibe of the week, and bake for like 45 minutes. Then you can mix up what else you put on your salad greens - different nuts, cheeses, veggies, dried and fresh fruits, etc. I also eat pretty seasonally/locally so salads change with the seasons. But in general, brining meat is a game changing kitchen hack that few people take the time to do.

Fucking trust me on this - roasted radishes.

Try it and thank me later.

cottage-cheese pizza flats: Ingredients: 400 g cottage cheese, 3 eggs, 1 tsp baking powder, salt-pepper-oregano to taste, 150 g wheat flour, 120 g ham, 60 g grated cheese, plus any extra filling you like.

Scoop one tablespoon each flat on a bakingsheet

Bake 15–25 minutes at 200 °C with top-and-bottom heat on the middle rack.

Since you’re in germany the “lets do pizza” spice is pretty good for this.

This sounds insane, but I'm absolutely fascinated by it. I just ran out of cottage cheese yesterday, but I'm going to try making these later this week!

Lately I have been a huge fan of Zartweizen, you can just use them in nearly any way you would use noodles or even sometimes rice. Also great in salads or soups.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is this some kind of new trend? Why would you sleep on food? Wouldn't it be a lot of trouble to clean out of the mattress? Is this a sex thing? It usually is and I'm in the wrong place when I'm this confused.
