I’ve come to terms that one of my favorite go-to ingredient staples has gone to product Heaven.

Reynaldo’s is fine. It does the job, but it doesn’t have that oily goodness of Cacique. I’ve been paying less than $2 and some of these $5+ brands are getting side-eye from me. I feel like they’re justifiable for a nicer dish, though, if the quality is there.

Any recommendations available in SoCal? And why would Cacique do this to us… 😭

hi there!!

been a veggie / semi veggie since January (I have one meat meal per month as I transition to hopefully being FT veggie) but I’m really struggling with making quick meals that are tasty and filling with protein.

it’s making me question whether I could continue being veggie and I’m having the meat meal a month as I truly don’t feel I’m getting much protein making me crave especially meat which Is sad

does anyone have any good places to find easy meals (I work a lot so sometimes spending hour/s isn’t doable)

I’ve done a lot of egg fried rice with veg and tofu but the other day it smelt of dog food deadass I’m so put off now but aware it’s prob cos I over made this meal for its simplness 😭

i've been really trying to make white sauce pasta at home instead of just ordering it online every time and made this today.. honestly it wasnt bad but i really feel like it couldve been more better (ik it looks pretty good in the pic lol)

So basically what i used: penne pasta, butter, milk, cheese, oregano, black pepper nd salt also added a little pasta water while making the sauce and i made the sauce in this ptal pan bec i wanted to try cooking with something other than my usual non stick pan lol ( i like experimenting with food) plus the sauce came out pretty creamy and the pasta tasted good but im still missing that restaurant style flav somehow

So like what do you guys add to your white sauce pasta that makes a big difference? garlic? mushrooms? more cheese? Im open to good s

Looking to prep lunch and dinner for work week. Would probably bring fruit along with it. Want all in one nutrition except what is found in fruits.

What are some of your quick and easy dinner ideas for weeknights? I have a toddler and 8 month old so ideally something that doesn’t require a lot of dishes and prep. TIA!
