I’m traveling and in dire need of a proper sized salad... but was super inspired by a GF crispy buffalo cauliflower app. Seasoned rice flour, oven fried, very small florets for extra crispy goodness. I will be trying this at home.

Thanks all!! Some great starting points for me to deep dive here. Really appreciate it!!

Recipe request? These are stunning.

Hearts of palm MAKE a salad for me. I forget how much I like them. Then I stumble upon an errant can in the far reaches of the cupboard... and 💥! Reminded why I love them all over again.

Yessssss! In squash heaven with all of these. I’m super into roasted winter squash cubes (pre-roasted with S/P/oil, I like coconut oil) - I chill them and sort of toss them into everything, during the week, as I throw dinners together.

Nontraditional family, made a produce-filled Spiced mole-ish soup-type instapot situation. Perfect for a chilly day spent walking hills :) I don’t like ‘chasing’ big meals anymore. I used to work out till I was blue to ‘burn off’ meals that sorta left me feeling awful anyway. Now I’m the resident weirdo food wise in every…

The very brave possibly crazy concoction turned out amazing and prolly never repeatable because I sort of cleaned out the fridge and added a bunch of ‘dabs’ of stuff.

Exactly. I do not post my ‘I microwaved a bunch of precut veggies and dumped defrosted curry on them’ survival meals. Or the ‘screw it Ill eat protein bars in bed’ nights. Don’t be intimidated!! Nothing better than perfectly steamed in season produce!!

This sounds delish! I’m the anti fancy. I’m brave. Not fancy. I’m doing a hack on Salvadorian style turkey, but subbed a ton of veggies and other stuff out. This is my turkey inspo: I’ve had it saved for a year. https://salvikitchen.com/2014/05/13/salvadorian-christmas-turkey/amp/ My version is very ‘mine.’ Substitute…

These are from MY tree!! Not my dads... mine! My first batch!!

This is one of my FAVES and the only reason I have tamarind paste in my cupboard!!

Super weird (for me) that I love them but didn’t know they were protein-heavy for veg. Awesome!

Oh. My. Speechless at the presentation of things I would eat. Well done!

There is so much delicious happening in here. I’m in awe.

Don’t leave us hanging. Apple cinnamon?

I do not. I ❤️ the one at Ranch99.

Honestly, I’ve heard so much caution in this thread about it that I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else. I batch cook a lot in winter, so only make it then. Fridge if I’m doing some batch cooks. Otherwise, I keep it in the freezer, and just sorta hack at it when I need some. The oil seems to help it not freeze.

Big bowl o Pom from dad’s ranch I need to clean. I’m gonna get straight slutty with the Pom this week. Had just lush amounts last week, cascades of Pom everywhere. Another hack: Whole peeled garlic, from Costco, whizzed and covered in olive oil. Two jars, one will go to mom & one for me. I go thru pretty insane amounts of…

I know super organized people that prep actual meals. My tendency is to partially prep elements of meals, to have them ready to assemble in various combinations. They ALWAYS involve squash. This week: -hacked up version of the Jamie Oliver red curry coconut chicken soup with butternut squash, the one I was obsessed with…

This looks soo good! I’m so excited for you! My favorite thing is to buy new-to-me stuff and google how to prepare it... or sort of treat it as an experiment in intuition. Adventures in produce! Let us know how they turn out!

Last night made myself a proper meal. Finally. S/P/OO deeply roasted Brussels & kabocha; on top of spinach tossed in green goddess. Some pre-made chx curry stuff (cheating but convenient and local company and no weird additives), then a cascade of pomegranate on top (from my dad’s ranch!!) No pic. Sadly. Was starving by…

This is the EXACT salad that made me a kohlrabi convert. I’m pretty sure. A friend gave the recipe a few thanksgivings ago. I don’t know that mine had mint. Tagging this combo for future.

Don’t think I have, or haven’t known if I have :) I fell in love with roasted turnips in a sage butter years ago. Now I’d probably do coconut-crisped sage because I’m hardcore on the coconut oil for roasting thing RN.

Totally stunning. I have zero experience with anything other than grocery store turnips :)

A dish from my childhood, classic poor hippie food: Heat Garlic cloves in OO, cast iron pan When sorta brown, sear the chard Toss with *leftover* boiled fingerling potatoes Add S/P Leave in skillet, top with shredded super nutty Parmesan, flakes not shreds Throw the whole thing under the broiler -eat.

So much YESSSS here.

Um. As I see it, you’ve KEPT off 193#. That’s HUGE. As a person who has kept off 193#, you know what it takes to lose weight. The amount you’ve kept off is 6x+ the amount of regain. Maybe you initially went lower than you can sustainably maintain, given your lifestyle and activity? Maybe it’s totally possible to get…

I was semi obsessed last winter with the pinch of yum sweet potato peanut soup, naturally spiced up a ton more than the recipe called for. It was my first PB+SwP combo. My mom likes to spread almond or cashew butter on sliced re-toasted sweet potatoes. @AnnPT77 I envy your ability to eat raw onion! I can eat them cooked…

Girl! Those are stunning. Herbs, yes - but also a beautiful block!
