  • Always in the oven on parchment, I usually use a Tbsp of olive oil and a Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar and some herbs, for each 1/4 kg of fresh veg. Lately eating closer to a 1/2 kg - asparagus, broccoli & red cabbage tonight, yummy!
  • Ah, it looks like I have found my people :) Anyone have ideas for alternatives to oil or broth for roasting vegetables? Some veg can go without, but my favourite (broccoli) gets too dry without a little grease... and oil calories add up fast!
  • I also struggle to meet my caloric needs. Three things that have helped me are meal prepping (portions of healthy meals and snacks ready to be eaten without ANY effort to prepare in the moment), chosing nutritionally dense foods, and setting a timer for meals and snacks, because I forget or get too busy. Good luck!

  • Laziest recipe ever: Boil noodles in 3:1 milk to water, until noodles are cooked but there is still some liquid. Liquid should have the consistency of alfredo sauce when it's ready (starch + milk = sauce). Add cheese of choice. Optional: Add other delicious things like spices, taco seasoning, frozen veg, protein, pesto, or…
