I like cereal better.

I retract my previous statements...for some reason I've decided I like this so much I'm doing it again.

Sorry I'm late...been on the pot all day from all that oat fiber

I made some delicious stuffed baked potatoes last night.

 

• 2 russet taters
• quick olive oil spray on each
• roll in kosher salt
• bake 60 minutes at 250
• remove
• top with broccoli, chopped tempeh, cheese
• return to oven for 5-10
• serve, top with greek yogurt, pepper, left-over broccoli on the side

 

It was rather delicious - the skin of the potatoes was so delicious after cooking in the oil and salt, obviously. Ultra filling, too.

Do you Oatsters use a Mason Jar, sealed Tupperware, or just cover a cereal bowl with foil or saran wrap? Does it matter? Thanks

Tupperware - and I doubt it matters.

I've used an open bowl, and it worked fine. I use tupperware for when I'm bringing it to work.

Just put it all in your refrigerator without any kind of container and mix it...it shouldn't' fall through the grates.

Thanks

Added a new wrinkle to my variation of Overnight Oats: A couple of spoonfuls of Cacao. Holy delicious... Also swapped out almond milk for Flax milk. It's a little thinner which I like...

Steve needs to capitalize on this. He could be on the cusp of the next Starbucks.

Id be really happy with a Hannah's Bretzel. I wish theyd put it where the Halsted Deli was.

 

Right now my main locations are Chipotle, I Dream of Falafel and Epic Burger. I used to go to Venice a ton, but burned out on it. Maybe Ill get a calzone next week.

 

So that is actually happening. Sign up today for Hannah's Bretzel. I should probably work in real estate.

Pretty sure they announced it before your post though. Pretty happy about it.

I need some dinner ideas for poor folk. Healthy meals for 3 for as cheap as possible... I've convinced mi madre to shift from the pasta, rice, and processed heavy meals and she wants me to put together a 2 week menu. I told her just get a s*** ton of chicken and make it different ways she wants a more specific game plan.

Chicken breast, brown rice, greens (broccoli, asparagus). If you're really on the cheap side, buy a s*** ton of canned Tuna and substitute for chicken. Tuna in water is your best bet.

You will need:

 

 

 

 

Cook the green pepper & onion in some olive oil until they are soft. Add the 2 cans of beans and the can of salsa. Do not drain the beans. When it's hot, it's ready to eat.

Put it over some brown rice or quinoa. If you have some meat cook it and throw it in, I often use leftover chicken.

 

This is awesome, especially considering how easy it is.

^^^ sounds like an unstuffed pepper which is something we all like...Just gotta grab a bag of brown rice....What are some tasty, healthy things to do with tuna?

Canned tuna or fresh?

My only .02 to make it healthier would be try cooking the peppers and onion in water instead of oil.

A little bit of oil won't hurt, plus you get better color and flavor cooking with oil.

Well like I said, it's for me. I personally try to have the least amount of oil in my diet as possible.

 

If you're worried about flavor though, what I try to do is cook them in some fresh homemade vegetable broth (but that of course involves a whole different step of freezing veggies making the broth haha)

If you're worried about flavor though, what I try to do is cool them in some fresh homemade vegetable broth (but that of course involves a whole different step of freexing veggies making the broth haha)

 

That's not so bad though, broth is relatively easy to make. Hell, if you are making your own out of base, you can just throw a little of that into your mixture and then add just a couple splashes of water to it if necessary.

Since both my Lady and I don't eat meat, we tend to make A LOT of vegetable based dishes. We just take the ends of s*** we are chopping put it in a big tupperware container in the freezer and in about a weeks time we cook up some delicious broth for soups etc.

Any reason for keeping olive oil out of your diet? Its fairly healthy for you to have some oil.

Canned tuna or fresh?

 

Canned as I assume it will be cheaper.
