Sophie's Meal Log and Recipe Thread :3
heart Greetings Insomnia~! I saw that you had a new health and fitness subforum and I was really keen to share some of the recipes I've been using.
I recently moved out of my parents' house (well, like, literally 5 days ago...lol) which means my roommates and I have been cooking all of our own meals! We're all into organic eating and healthy cooking with low-fat materials and aren't really big meat-eaters. So for all you veggie-heads out there this is definitely the thread for you if you're into fast, easy meals big on the fruits and vegetables. :3 Keep reading if you're still interested. And I would LOVE feedback and suggestions! heart
where to buy ingredients;;
some recommendations on where to find some of the ingredients i have listed.
cheese_whine for veggies: if you live in the city, hit up one of those vegetable vendors on the street! it's really likely that they're cheaper there than at the grocery store, plus you're helping a small business. if some of the fruits and veg from a street vendor dont look fresh, try and find the freshest ones, and if you're still at a loss, just go to the grocery store and weigh them out at the scale. :3 If you live in the suburbs, go to a flea market or just a grocery store. if you're into super-organic fruits and veggies, whole foods stores are where it's at.
cheese_whine bulk foods (like black beans or shelled peanuts): whole foods stores all the way! you just need to fill up a bag then weigh it on the scale. most stuff you buy in bulk is more cheap and better quality than buying it in a box. canned black and pinto beans can be bought at a regular grocery store for even cheaper, but it's fun to soak your own beans for an extra 75 cents or so. ^____^ they also taste significantly more fresh when bought in bulk opposed to have sat in an aluminum can of juice.
cheese_whine spices: any grocery store. in a lot of our recipes we use cayenne which is some kind of spicey indian jawnsky but it's mad good in mexican food, which we've been eating a lot of because it's fast and easy. Garlic and ginger can be bought from a regular grocery store.
cheese_whine tofu, rice milk, soy milk, etc: whole food stores. grocery stores have it too but it's shittier quality. plus it's cheaper to buy by the pound at whole foods than in a package at regular grocery stores.
cheese_whine anything i missed, please ask and I'll modify the list!
