Brussel sprouts rule

You're giving me ideas ๐Ÿ“

No worries friend! Thank you for participating in the community and reflecting.

This is an excellent comment! I wanted to add that commercially produced carnist cat food has supplemental taurine added to it already, so switching to a plant based food isn't introducing a new and 'exotic' ingredient.

Another banger ๐Ÿ˜

Hi! I'm sure you are commenting with kind intentions, but we ask that people refrain from giving unsolicited advice or suggestions.

It's really important that people feel welcome to post their delicious food without feeling like they need to reply to comments about why they didn't include things. Thanks!

The reddit comments are so angry and pathetic (as is to be expected, I guess).

Vegans want to BAN meat and people WILL DIE.

Calm down, I just want you to think about what you are doing and then maybe stop?

I believe in you! These are rice noodles but it could have just as easily been as delicious with other pastas.

 

10/10 would eat again

Friendly reminder to not be critical or give unsolicited advice. We don't want people to feel like they can't share whatever they are eating.

Hey, let's not criticize what people are eating here.

That photo is calling to me...it looks so comforting.

 
 
 

Home grown peas, beans, zucchini with homemade Novick burgers and store bought hummus, cheese, and rice crackers.

 

I've been bringing food with me in a cooler lately and honestly it's the best???

I went on a super cute day trip today and we didn't spend any money on questionable food at carnist places.

I think bringing fancy beverages is the major key alert for me. I don't buy soda for home unless we are having guests/it's a holiday. I'm always so tempted to pick up a soda/slushy when out on a trip as a treat. Having the mocktails along with our water bottles felt special.

Soak, apply tomato product, pressure cook and BAM - delicious and creamy beans.

 

I went on a work trip for 5 days. I'm mostly gluten free (not celiac, just intolerant).

My hotel didn't have a microwave (I couldn't find one that did) but it did have a fridge. I brought premade food (pictured) in a cooler as well as snacks.

I was able to microwave food at the rest stops which meant I could eat delicious home cooked food instead of paying $7 for a bag of chips.

A few lunches/dinners were catered and I gave my dietary restrictions. They were fine but they were things like one (1) baby eggplant with some veggies on top, so I was obviously hungry lol. Having a tub of hummus and crackers in the room made sure I was fed and didn't need to go looking for food at restaurants.

I also brought oats which are my normal breakfast and kept my tummy happy. This is beginner level travel food but foundational for a reason!

Things that went well

  • bringing food to microwave on the drive, although the final test stop didn't have a microwave.
  • bringing a bowl for the oats and soap to clean the bowl out with after using.
  • room and purse snacks that didn't need a microwave.
  • the cooler stayed cool on the 8 hour drive.

Things to improve

  • I lied to myself and said I would go pick up some fresh fruit and veg. I should have just brought some with me. It was chaotic leading up to my departure and grocery stores were a 30 min drive away from where I was staying.
  • I should have made my own granola bars/snacks versus buying them. They are expensive!

I am doing a longer (9 day, personal) trip in just over a week and I am bringing my rice cooker lol! I will more than likely have access to a kitchenette and will definitely go to the grocery store, as I am crossing a border and don't want to deal with bringing fresh fruit/veg over that. I'll make a post about that when I get back ๐Ÿค
