How angry would you be?
My teenager is texting me that we should look into a plant based diet because their health teacher is showing The Game Changers in class. (If that’s not the most Californian sentence ever, I don’t know what is.) I’m actually open to moving towards a more plant-based diet, and I know that they can be healthy and tasty. When…

ISO: Low-iron freezer meal ideas
A relative of mine is having surgery soon and has to eat a low iron diet. I’d like to bring over some easy to reheat meals for the month they’ll be recovering from surgery. The family is simultaneously adventurous and a little picky. For example, they love different ethnic foods from restaurants, but don’t much care for…

What’s your favorite high-volume crunchy salty snack
I’m a volume eater with a huge craving for something salty and crunchy. I would love to eat a whole bag of ruffles or pretzels right now. What’s your favorite low-ish calorie for its volume salty crunchy snack? If I eat any more popcorn I may turn into a corn stalk. Air-puffed chips leave me disappointed. I like roasted…

Can anyone recommend a digital food scale that doesn’t have problems with interference from cell phones or microwaves? I prefer a digital scale for ease of use, but busy weekday mornings…

I’m not too worried about finishing the ride or run (only 5 miles and 2 miles, respectively), but I really need to improve my swimming technique in order to finish…

All from a restaurant, rather than home cooked (I should be so lucky!). What would you estimate for 1 whole wheat paratha (plain, but cooked with ghee), approximately 4 ounces cooked chicken boti, plus onions, cilantro, and chutney? The database entries are all over the map.

Favorite way to cook a whole chicken?
What’s your favorite way to cook a whole chicken? I was planning on my usual-roasting it tomorrow using America’s Test Kitchen’s Weeknight Roast Chicken recipe, probably with roasted carrots and potatoes, but suddenly I’m bored of that and want to try something different. My family will only eat about half of it tomorrow…

Firm tofu recipes
My youngest kid loves tofu and will eat it straight out of the fridge. My eldest just declared he doesn’t like it anymore, right after I bought the giant Costco 4 pack, lol. I think he just doesn’t like the boring stir fry I usually make (he’s pretty picky, so he takes the tofu, veggies, and rice without the sauce. I would…
