Eat Your Vegetables: Bold Recipes for the Single Cook | Joe Yonan

Are you a cookbook user, a connoisseur of Uber Eats, reliant on tried and true family recipes... or something else entirely?!

I‘m in the family recipe / going to bed cause it‘s too hard camp 🤔 I also like borrowing vegetarian cookbooks from the library and dreaming about having a personal chef...

DivineDiana I use both cookbooks and online recipes! Plant based eating, so I do love vegetables! Also dream of a personal chef! 👩🏼‍🍳 6y

Lindy I love borrowing cookbooks from the library and I use them as inspiration to get creative in the kitchen. When I‘m looking for a specific kind of recipe, I often search online and compare several similar before making my own interpretation. 6y

Amandajoy I love cookbooks! I like plant based but eat less of it since moving in with my husband who thinks we need meat with every meal. I don‘t really want a personal chef, I just want more time to cook more involved meals. 6y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @DivineDiana, vegetables are the best! And yes, personal chef is an excellent daydream 😂 6y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lindy, I had a housemate once who excelled at just throwing stuff together to great effect, no recipe needed. Great skill that I wish I had. 6y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Amandajoy, my stepdad was like that - one of the many reasons that I went vegetarian, aged 9. Hmmm, some sort of housekeeper then? To free you up to cook? ☺️ 6y

Amandajoy More like I need a way to make full time money working part time 😂 6y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Amandajoy, winning the lottery ☺️ 6y

CarolynM I have quite a lot of recipe books, some of which I use often. These days I'm just as likely to look for recipes on the Internet 6y

CaitZ Sounds right to me 😃 6y

julesG I was told chocolate is made from beans, so it's a vegetable. Same as coffee. So, a Soy Chocolate Latte is actually Three Beans Soup. 😜 6y

Lreads @julesG 😂😂👏 6y

jen_the_scribe I'm on board with this argument 😂 6y

ladym30 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 6y

Mamashep Hurrah! 6y

GypsyKat Works for me! 😂🍫🍫🍫 6y

Gissy Agree! 👍 6y

Potatoes are a vegetable, right? Eating alone tonight. I went all the way to the other side of town to get a gluten-free bun!

No walk, okay eating, not my best fitness day, but my new fitness tracker comes from amazon tomorrow!! 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉

cewilf Fitness trackers are so motivating!! Go get those steps tomorrow 💪💪💪 6y

Megabooks @cewilf I‘m super excited about it! I can‘t afford a FitBit right now, but this knockoff had good ratings! 6y

wanderinglynn Potatoes totally are veggies. 👍🏻 6y

KathyWheeler I track my fitness with my phone but I‘m thinking of getting a real tracker. Yay, new fitness motivator! (edited) 6y

JamieArc @Megabooks Which one did you get? After the last #BFC, I got the VeryFitPro version, which was only $25. I‘ve only had it a couple weeks, but it‘s great and I can‘t imagine why I would spend so much more for a FitBit! 6y

Megabooks @wanderinglynn 😁🥔🥰 6y

Megabooks @KathyWheeler I got the same one @JamieArc has for $29 on Amazon! 👍🏻👍🏻 it has an underwater rating, but I‘d double check reviews/ratings since you swim. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PFP9QJ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?... 6y

cobwebmoth Potatoes contain lots of vitamins, so they totally count as a vegetable.😘 6y

JamieArc @Megabooks @KathyWheeler The only thing I don‘t like about it is that it doesn‘t track swimming. Not sure if you can wear it in the pool, but there‘s no option to track laps. I figured if I actually did a good job using this one, I could upgrade to a more expensive tracker that does include swimming. 6y

KathyWheeler @JamieArc I‘ve never found a good way to track swimming. I just count my yards. I know I‘ve messed up doing that before though because it‘s easy to lose track. 6y

Megabooks @cobwebmoth 😁😁👍🏻🥰😘 6y

Megabooks @KathyWheeler @JamieArc I‘m not a swimmer, so this is okay for me. I mainly walk and do a little biking. Glad you knew it didn‘t have that, Jamie!! 6y

KathyWheeler @Megabooks I went looking for fitness trackers that include swimming and that are all expensive; the cheapest was $80.00. Apparently “waterproof” means you can wash your hands and take a shower but not swim. I might get this one you got anyway to better track my walking. 6y

Megabooks @KathyWheeler The one I purchased had great reviews on Amazon, and the company seems responsive to questions/customer service. The cheapest Fitbit is now $100, which I definitely cannot afford right now!! I will say, though, my friend got her 8-year-old daughter a $200 Fitbit Versa!! I just couldn‘t believe that. I‘m glad I‘m not a parent!! 6y

JamieArc @KathyWheeler I just count laps too, but often lose where I‘m at. @Megabooks Overall, I really like it and does what I want it to do (steps, calories burned while doing different activities, heart rate). Definitely a good motivator to do more steps! 6y

sudi I was thinking of getting one too, but the fitbit is out of my budget right now. So i'm looking at cheaper options with the mi band 3 by xiaomi 6y

Megabooks @sudi I looked at that as well, but ended up going with the Lintelek. I hope it works out!! 6y

sudi @Megabooks still better than spending over 80$ on a glorified pedometer. I just want a basic fitness tracker which tracks my steps and heart rate, i'm still searching for a cheaper option since the Lintelek one isn't available in India. 6y

Emilymdxn #goteam ! Looks like a fabulous dinner! Good luck with the fitness tracker arriving 6y

Megabooks @sudi Yeah, agreed! I can see if you have the extra money or only swim or other stuff like that, but I mainly walk, so I hope this is perfect for me. When it‘s cold, I bike at the gym, and I think it supports that, too. I really hope you can find one that works for you in India!! 👍🏻 6y

Megabooks @Emilymdxn Thanks! I enjoy those really thin hamburgers and, of course, a gluten-free bun!! Plus crinkle-cut fries! It was good. 😉😁😋 6y

BooknerdsLife Hahaaa yes! It‘s totally vegetables 😂😂👍🏼 And Yay! For your new fitness tracker 🙌🏼 6y

Megabooks @BooknerdsLife Woo hoo!! 😉😁🎉🎉 (edited) 6y

Purrfectpages Gluten free buns! The struggle is real! 6y

Megabooks @Purrfectpages So real!! And this one is actually good!! Celiac?? 6y

Check out this thing of mathematical and geometric beauty. This is a vegetable that kinda tastes like a combo of broccoli and cauliflower. But the more important part is how it shows the Fibonacci sequence and spiral. I felt so bad cutting it up.

DivaDiane Oh, I know! Aren‘t they gorgeous?!? 8y

TsundokuAleax @DivaDiane I was at the market like 😍😍😍 8y

ApoptyGina69 Romanesco! A favorite and hard to come by in myNorCal mountain town. Enjoy! 8y

LauraBeth @TrishB I feel 100 times better 😀 8y

saresmoore Oh, good. Treat yo' self! 8y

LeahBergen Good job!! 👏🏻👏🏻 8y

LauraBeth @saresmoore and @LeahBergen I've been subsisting off a pack of vending machine crackers on a daily basis - not healthy or good 😔 8y

saresmoore Yeah, I should rephrase that: Take care of yo' self! I wish I was there to bring you good food. Still covering you in prayer, my sweet friend. 8y

Litlady 'Atta girl‼️ 🍺🍴🍟🍆 8y

LauraBeth @saresmoore thanks sweet friend! ?? Between my women's group and our married small group - they've started a "meal train" for us which will be a huge help! Gotta love church family who step in and take charge ? 8y

LauraBeth @Litlady ☺️☺️ 8y

saresmoore It's one of the best things about having a church family, I think. Whether grieving, caregiving, having a baby, or just generally breathing...you'll never go hungry! 8y

MicheleinPhilly You need some cheese on that salad. Dairy is important! 8y

LauraBeth @MicheleinPhilly this was an unhealthy Cobb salad with bacon and bleu cheese. But I'm going to pass it off as healthy for today! 8y

MicheleinPhilly PROTEIN! 💪🏼 8y

Cinfhen Where are those fries??? 8y

Cinfhen Oh now I see....good for you!!! 8y

LauraBeth @Cinfhen I got the fries in!! 8y
