What's your go to comfort meal?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Mine is this cheeseburger quesadilla with cherry hots. I used to force myself to always eat different things and vegetables etc etc but it's been really nice this past year to give myself permission to let go of some of that and let myself off the hook to eat what I want without judgment
MACARONI
WITH THE CHICKEN STRIPS?
UNGH 😫
But literally, Kraft dinner mac and cheese and cut up some chicken nuggies or strips or whatever you got. Mix. Eat. Good.
This is the way
Well, that sounds like I need to try it. Reminds me of the macaroni and cheese KFC bowl. Have you had that?
Before I had a wife (who actually cares about me). I would make a casserole with wide egg noodles, chicken, peas, maybe another veg, mixed with a combo of cream of mushroom soup, couple eggs, and topped with a generous layer of cheddar..
I’m told this is not good for you, but it is delicious and has enough variety that I can eat it every day.
I think it sounds hearty and nutritious. Usually when people say "not good for you" it's because they're scared of fat. Ultimately, you could argue either way but I'm on the side of you eating something that feels good to you. Back when I was trying to be super fit and slim I was miserable most of the time and it didn't even really work. Granted, if you start to have health issues you could maybe try to substitute elements of it but I think it sounds like a really good choice
I actually had to start eating more fat because the "normal" fat diet (not even low fat at that) I had was making my stomach ache. Started putting more fat on everything and it's all good now. I'm even actually dieting and losing weight - cut out a lot of sweets instead and I'm eating less of everything. But with more fat.
Yeah I do so much better aiming for lower carbs and no sugar... When my will power is working
That doesn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure the sugar lobby was one of the main pusjers behind the major low fat diet push in the late 90s/early 00. Ever since they started moving away from the good fats, everything is suddenly so full of sugar
I’ve noticed this specifically with the no fat half and half.. switched back to the good stuff.
No fat half and half?? Isn't that basically just skim milk with extra steps?
That sounds like so much work but also much more delicious haha. I might try it out, like a more bougie version of my go to.
It is about 1 hour to get it in the oven, but food for days.
Oof yeah as much as I wish I could do something like that since it sounds convenient I just likely wouldn't ever :(
