I'm not a stellar cook, but I slap that shit together so fast and it is so satisfying. I've been baking kale with sesame oil instead of cavolo nero because I was unwilling to google what it is or where to acquire it.

This rice bowl was one of the first things I learned how to make when I first learned how to make more meals for myself and it so so hard to fuck up!! honestly so delish and easy. the recipe I linked also adds kimchi which I’ve never added to it before but cookings an adventure so do whatever!!

I loosely follow eric kim’s recipe below for the tuna, some marinated tofu would also work well. Then I make a big pot of rice, and add whatever toppings I have on hand throughout the week (kimchi, cucumber, cilantro, sesame seeds, all things that require very little of you and can be done ahead)
For the lentils, I make a big pot at the beginning of the week and again, top with various things I have around (an egg, a handful of arugula, lemon, yogurt, garlic)
I find that having two bases that are different enough and customizable keeps feeding yourself simply from feeling like a punishment while you focus on other things.
ps: if you’re new to lentils, lemme know, i’ll write out my recipe for ya!

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, every day. The occasional dinner or lunch out maybe 3-5 times per month. But, other than that, what I’m eating is the fruit of my own labor.
Currently fasting so I’ve had to get creative without being able to use any dairy products, eggs and cheese especially.
Some of my favorite lenten meals I’ve made this time around are:
-Bibimbap with homemade daikon radish kimchi
-Jumeokbap with beefless bulgogi (got the three pack from TJ’s for $5 and it was good but overpriced so I made my own big batch and they’re even better)
-Poor man’s hotpot AKA ttbeoki with ramen,enoki mushroons, pumpkin, etc.
-Vietnamese spring rolls with peanut sauce
- Many delicious variations of chickpea salad
- Lavash wraps with fried eggplant, hummus, baba ganoush, fried kabocha squash, etc.
- A vegan thyme ailoi that was one of the best creamy sauces I’ve ever made and used for a BLT with blistered cherry tomatoes and fake bacon.
- Cantonese salt and pepper tofu (literally one of my favorite dishes, fasting or not. roasting and grinding whole sichuan peppercorns will make you eat like a king)
- Chilaquiles with soyrizo and a delicious tofu egg scramble my husband made (black salt is a nonnegotiable for a tofu scramble imo!)

I’m sick of feeling powerless so my new coping strategy is to not let a stupid system bully me into quiet despair. I’m learning how to use my state’s General Assembly’s online bill tracker and I’m subscribing to email updates for the agendas and the public hearings of the legislative committees I’m most concerned about. I’m memorizing all my legislators‘ names and emailing and calling regularly.
Also: Check to see if your state’s Legislative Library has Libguides that explain in layman’s terms what bills are passing in your state and other educational/legislative resources you have freely available to you!!!

I’m up in my bank account every week writing every transaction out in a spreadsheet and I’ve never been better with money in my whole life. Also helped me notice asap when a whole mess of fraudulent transactions slipped in while I was occupied moving and otherwise wouldn’t have seen them for a while. It’s absolutely more effective than a Mint budget tracker because you have to confront EVERY purchase and contemplate what actually has value to you.
