For dietary purposes, I’ve been told to start including probiotic rich food in my diet and I figure since people in my house already like yogurt that’s the best way to go. But I absolutely hate the texture of yogurt. How can I change it and still enjoy the health benefits? I don’t love smoothies, but I’ll make one occasionally with yogurt. But I’d prefer to have some variety with this. Adding granola is alright, and definitely helps but even still I find myself just grossed out after two spoonfuls. Is there anything I can do? Is freezing it and turning it into something like frozen yogurt going to kill the cultures? It’s sad, because this is the only food I absolutely cannot seem to find a way to enjoy!

So, my mom in law left me all of her plants while she travels abroad for the next month and told me her coffee plant has been looking a little sickly and she can’t figure out why. I know absolutely nothing about this plant, but thought I would try and help heal it for her if I can while she’s away. Does anyone know what could be causing the leafs to brown? The newer leafs on top are growing fast and healthy, and the soil feels good and doesn’t have any signs of rot or infection. It’s also not in any kind of harsh light or in a dark corner, and it’s in a place where the humidity is slightly higher than the rest of the house, but not a significant amount. I’ve had it for a week now, but I can’t seem to make the lower leafs happy.

Basically the title, I want to make baked potato soup and while I have a good vegan cheese and sour cream I like to use in other soups, I’ve never tried making such a traditionally dairy heavy soup. I have tried a coconut based heavy cream substitute, but I found it to be a bit sweet. Is there a better heavy cream sub for a more savory flavor? Or maybe the brand I bought just happened to be sweet? Any advice is welcome!

Got a little excited and accidentally picked some still green ones, but hey! First ever fruit I’ve grown! Tastes all the sweeter for it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I’ve got so many more still turning, I’ll have to make some blueberry cobbler once they’re all done.

Hi friends! I got some flower seeds as a gift recently, and while they say they should be planted in late May early June, I’m worried about them lacking sun in our weird unseasonal weather! It’s been completely overcast and 50s and raining constantly. I’m sharing the planting with some kids in the neighborhood, so I really don’t want them to fail… is it okay to plant them despite the abysmal conditions? They call for full sun, but I’m honestly not sure when we’ll be getting full sun again and I don’t want to plant them too late.

Thanks for the advice, everyone! My legacy blueberry plant is going strong, and my sunshine one isn’t far behind! I can’t wait to pick them, how will I know when they’re ready? I imagine they’ll need to darken in color a little bit and shed the little brown flower petal bits, right?

So I have never had this dish! Most dishes I cook I have tasted a variant of it so I know how it should taste when I make it, but Cajun/Creole/Louisiana food in general is something I’ve never had the pleasure of trying first hand but the spices always look really tasty. Does anyone have a good recipe to share with me, with maybe some notes about how it should taste? I usually don’t cook with meat at home, so meat substitutes would be useful, but I still use chicken stock and enjoy cooking with sausages like andouille and kielbasas. I think my kitchen is pretty well stocked other than the meat bit! I do lack an instant pot, but I’ve got a Dutch oven and a slow cooker and a rice cooker, etc.

Basically the question above. My legacy plant growing in the same pot is doing just fine, but the Sunshine seems to be struggling. We’ve been getting a lot of rain lately so I haven’t been watering as much, is it just thirsty? Should I give it some fertilizer? I’m in Zone 8a and planted them about two weeks ago.

I’m new to growing fruits so I’m a little lost! I’ve only grown herbs and garlic before. I hope they can be saved!

I love making salad dressings from scratch, and also love eating hummus but I make very small amounts of these things. I also plan to move soon and will be donating most of my kitchen stuff when I do, so I’d like something that could be well loved by a new owner. Is there anything out there that fits the bill? Or even better something I might already have that fits the bill? I don’t have a blender, either. Already donated that one.

I’m in Season 2 of my rewatch of SG1 and Christopher Judge’s acting gets me every time. Seeing Teal’c with O’Neill’s personality is just so weird and jarring. What’s everyone’s favorite episode when the actor has to be someone different? Either a swap or like when Jack is inhabited by the organisms from the bioluminescent time capsule thing.

Thanks for the suggestions for the tuna recipes! I just wanted to share that I made some of them and will be making more next week. So far I’ve made a few different adjustments to my onigiri, adding gochujang, kimchi or both. I also had a rice bowl topped with tuna and pickled ginger, and made my very first tuna melt with tuna, mayo, siracha and sourdough. I was going to take a picture of the melt, but it fell victim to my ravenous hunger before I could get my phone out. This pic is of the tuna, kewpie mayo and gochujang onigiri I made as I was preparing lunches for the next day. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Thunderstruck by AC/DC would be totally fitting as Thor’s ship lowered over Heru’ur’s ship? I’m doing a rewatch and taking notes as I go on their writing choices and this episode just makes me so psyched. What a cool introduction to the level of technology the Asgard possess.

(I feel like I should point out I’m joking and in no way suggesting they should have added AC/DC to the show)

(Sorry in advance for the lack of proper tags, I’m not sure how to add them on mobile)

So I tend to eat a can of tuna once or twice a week, usually with just a little salt, pepper and a dab of kewpie mayo and stuffed into onigiri. Are there any spices or sauces I can add to make it more interesting? Or any other easy tuna recipes I can make for one, preferably with rice? I really enjoy spicy foods and fermented/pickled things, but I’m not sure the best ways to combine that with something like tuna.

I absolutely love all things mushrooms, particularly exploring all the edible varieties I can find and trying them! Thing is, I live in the city and am the only one in my house who eats mushrooms (no one else likes having them in the house, let alone on a plate!) so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for 1) where to find a variety of mushrooms (I mostly see Portobello and cremini) and 2) any good ways to cook or prepare mushrooms for just one person? I typically just fry them up in a skillet or add them into a stir fry after I’ve made everyone else’s plates.

I hope this doesn’t break any rules! I couldn’t find anything on the side bar about what types of posts are allowed. If it does, could someone be kind enough to point me to another place to post this?
