I don’t have the insta pot brand, but definitely use my cooker a lot. It makes great soups and curries. It’s convenient for batch cooking beans and pulses to freeze for later use. The steaming under pressure is a very versatile cooking method. Put winter squash and beets in whole- they peel and cut so easily once they’re…

I have many food allergies, so understand your dilemma. Yesterday I made spicy stir fry vegetables with tofu for breakfast and it was great. Any food you like to eat is suitable for breaking fast. Be adventurous :) Also you can bake egg-free by substituting aqua faba (the liquid from a can of chick peas or from boiling a…

5’8” and currently 147lb, much higher than my normal 125-130lb range. Carrying the extra weight is tough on my joints, makes it harder to run.

A dense sticky center of responsibility wrapped in a sweet fluffy layer of compassion rolled in crisp proficiency and drenched with never ending documentation. My job satisfies!

My employer provides free step trackers and holds motivational challenges. Completing the voluntary challenges tallies into a broader point system for earning health care spending credits. This year they’ve added more step challenges than years past, so it’s still a thing. Employees who choose to participate may also sync…

Let’s see... Fried chicken gizzards, head cheese, little sausages slow cooked in grape jelly and ketchup, pickled eggs with beets, mashed potato candy, and pawpaw pudding come to mind.

Super inspiring journey. Dazzled by your Dr Who-ness, I almost missed the bit about you training for a half iron man. Wow! Congrats on the dedication and determination that requires.

Sometimes I add a gob of cocoa powder to a protein and greens smoothie, then drink it warmed up- tastes a lot like hot chocolate.

Tim bits are great. Beaver tails are transcendent.

Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, brussel sprouts, roasted squash, tofurkey with mushroom stuffing, hard cider.

We gave up meat, cheese, bread, processed snacks and cereals, sweets, and we mainly drink tap water now. Most of our groceries are whole food that we cook ourselves at home. These changes have saved us about 50% on our grocery bill! Buy lots of bulk dried beans, seeds, lentils, oats, nuts. Whenever healthy foods are on…

Have you tried a Chicago tot-dog? So good!

I like to make tacos with fajita style tempeh: Either corn or flour tortillas Salsa of your choice 1 package tempeh, sliced thin 1 onion sliced thin 1 large green pepper, sliced thin Tiny bit of oil or pan spray for skillet Sauté onion and pepper, set aside Sauté tempeh, add to onion and peppers Use as filling in tacos Top…

I highly recommend Vegan Under Pressure as a basic cookbook if you can invest in a pressure cooker. It has so many delicious recipes and ideas, there's a good section on meatless patties too. Personally I really love Indian food as it is vegan friendly. Manjulas kitchen is a great website. You can make many of your…

I like my freezer to be full of prepped ingredients to make meal time easier. Gives me lots of choices for making meals quickly. Buy fresh produce when it's cheapest, chop, spread out on baking sheet and freeze. Then put in freezer baggies or containers. This can be done with roasted or grilled veggies too. I also cook big…

The cookbook Vegan Under Pressure teaches how to make quick vegan meals in pressure cooker. Good variety of recipes, and guidelines for basic cookery. Definitely worth getting a pressure cooker when you're vegan. I make stuff like beans, lentils, quinoa, and grains in batches when there's time, then freeze in small…
