  • Always gotta add the oil. I have been using peanut butter or safflower oil depending on the meal too to keep the unit price down. I found some berebere spices at a bulk store a few months ago and it let me make a lot of savory peanutbutter dishes before I ran out. I should really get more!

    Although I found a store by me that sells palestinian olive oil for about the same price per volume as wine which is very nice. I bought the one from Nablus. The flavor is strong and a little peppery.


  • soviet-heart it’s been important to realize the impact that eating regularly has on my mood and having these stopgap foods has been instrumental.

    I hope it can be of help to you! I am living in a fixer-upper house right now without a real kitchen and all of my spare income is going into expediting repairs so I don’t really have the energy or money to eat right now. Having these fairly tasty and healthy things I can always make has saved me from fast food and unnecessary expense. It’s also nice because you can make each one as a single serving in a small pot and just use that pot as your bowl to minimize the number of dishes involved.

    This really resonates with me. That’s been a substantial amount of my diet. I got lucky that there’s bulk bins at a store near me so I have been able to get small amounts of very different grains and pulses so I can have more variety.



  • Give yourself a two week license to eat as many chips as you want and after you will pretty much be out of the cravings period. But also it helps to get out of the deficit mindset (‘stop eating meat’) and get into a positive mindset (‘start eating interesting plant-based meals’). Having a good cookbook helps. I like the America Test Kitchen Vegetarian cookbook with some modifications or the Moosewood Diner cookbook for quicker meals.
