oh this is a life saver
So these are bothĀ āAw Fuck Iām outta real foodā meals BUT ALSO:Ā if youāre learning how to cook, these are greatĀ ābaby stepsā meals to learn how to cook basics into something enjoyable withoutĀ āwastingā anything expensive.Ā Though I maintain that even cooking screw-ups are valuable in terms of lessons learned.
Also theyāre great for when you get absorbed in something and you realize your blood sugar is dropping and you need to make something Quick.
I donāt think of myself as a cook at all, but I looked through this list and was likeĀ āif you have [center] and [any item on a surrounding ring] how do you sit there thinking youāve got nothing to eat?ā Like, I buy a fair amount of staples knowing that Iāll be able to quickly assemble them into something tasty if Iām hungry and donāt have anything instant (or in a leftovers container because I made it earlier in the week specifically to eat for a week): butter, cheese, noodles, and more.
It still impresses people how I can go into random kitchens with no food in them and emerge with Filling Snacks for Five People. This is the secret: knowing how to assemble Cupboard Meals. And these charts are incredibly well-laid-out too!
