Rapid fire of things I love for high protein, cheap and easy:
- Lentil sloppy joes. Essentially just put water seasoning and lentils into a pot.
- Spicy Chili Mac (white people supreme): tofu, kidney beans, tomato and pasta. Pretty low effort, sounds weird but I love it.
- Chickpea paprikash- simple and honestly fire: Chickpeas in a warm spicy tomato sauce with pasta (I sub the sour cream for greek yogurt)
-Fried rice with eggs and edamame
- Black bean quesadillas
-Black bean bowl (rice, black beans, salsa, corn, mango if you feel fancy)
-Blended tofu/beans into soups/pastas (sounds weird but it helps add protein/thicken it up)
- Canned tuna

🎣The humble tuna and chickpea are amazing sources of protein and are easy and cheap to put into your everyday life. Boil some chickpeas and save overnight, put em on beans and rice and voila!

🥘just follow that equation and you'll be good
lean meats: - Turkey (ground, sausage, etc) - Chicken - Fish (fw baked salmon in the oven) - eggs (not a meat, but awesome. I'll be lazy and make an omlette for a meal often) easy to prep veggies: - onion (saute w ur green beans!) - bell peppers (saute, any color goes great with onions) - brussel sprouts (ik they are supposed to suck but saute in olive oil with garlic and then top with parmesean cheese and they're so good) - asparagus (olive oil, paprika, garlic and pepper, toss that shit in the oven yum) - avocado (technically a fruit but awesome topper for savory meals and a great snack by itself) - tomatoes (also a fruit, but dice them and stick em on top of your meal for an elevated experience)
I rly fw potatoes too, bc you can fry em in a pan or lazily bake them and bam its a side. Also never underestimate just some toast with butter.
Upping ur fruit game is a big win too- there are so many fruits and most of them are good so try anything. natures candy fr .
pro tip: make a big pot of soup/stew (tortilla soup is my fave) and eat off that for the week

🧎Before I eat I’ve started to pray before meals. I pray for everyone involved in the cultivation and creation of my food. From the farmers, to the grocery clerk, to my roommate who sits with me while I cook.
Helps me remind myself that even something as small as my meal is a part of a bigger community. Maybe it does nothing, maybe attunes myself to others around me (especially to migrant farm workers + their struggles), maybe it’s just sending good vibes.

🫀You do not need more advice.
Or practice.
Or thinking about it.
Stop talking about it. Actually do it.
Do it in baby steps or in giant leaps…but just go do it.
I wish I traveled/worked out/spoke more languages/read more/made more art/knew how to do XYZ type conversations do not get you closer to doing it.
Book that class, pick up that paintbrush, save that money for your flight, download those language apps and use them, buy that book.
shut up and do it!
With love

I haven’t painted in like the last three years? After like ten years of doing it everyday all day. It feels good to return to what I love even though I’m not as good at it as I’d like to be or not as good as I used to be. It’s just nice to paint. So if you’re looking for a sign to return to your hobby it’s here!!!
