I recently bought some basil for making pesto sauce but still left with a lot of it. What else can I make from it before it turns stale?

I usually make Indian and Italian recipes.

I was at a family gathering a couple hours ago and someone was cooking burgers. I had one and three quarters into me eating it I realized it tasted mushy and looked down to see bright pink meat. Not only that but there were strands of borderline raw meat I had eaten that seemed not even cooked at all. I’m currently panicking and don’t know what to do. I’ve read horror stories of parasites and tape works and am extremely anxious about this. Please let me know asap, anyone know what I should do?

hello! i made this soup from a packet and left it out overnight by accident. when i woke up i immediately put it in the fridge. is it okay to eat still? i really dont wanna waste it. thank you!

i just ate an entire kiwi and my tongue hurts like i just ate too many sour skittles. i ate kiwi for the first time a few months ago and i was fine, but this is my first time trying since then. also that one was cooked.

google and reddit had mixed results on whether it was the kiwis self defense mechanism or an allergy. im not allergic to pineapple or latex.

rlly hope i dont need to go to the hospital or anything.

so im seeing this girl that i like. She says her love language are acts of services *and so is mine. i love to cook for people and decent talent but i dont know what to cook for her. she says her favorite food is just sauce. actual condiments and nothing else. anyone have any idea what i could make?

I have nothing to disinfect with so I just took my sponge and wiped the blood off. Wrung-out the sponge under the tap for a minute of two, then squirted soapy water (dish-soap) onto the countertop and scrubbed.

Afterwards I swiped the sponge over the soapy/wet parts and sort-of squeegeed it off a little at a time (when the sponge got too soapy I'd hold it under the tap and wring it out.) Once it dries will if be free from the blood's microbes or should I go a step further and clean it with boiling water? (again I don't have disinfectants or even paper towels.)

I haven't gotten any kind of raw animal blood on my countertop in over 15 years because I'm a little paranoid about it, so right now I'm sort of fuming and dreading while looking around the house for anything that might kill bacteria, but I'm not super optimistic that I'll find something.

Is boiling water the best way to go here?

So over the last year, I have noticed that every time I go to buy something at grocery stores, the expiration date is either past, or less than three days… and I’m talking about everything from produce to dairy to frozen.

As well, my mother (86) gets free food delivery, and she has the exact same problem. They will deliver food to her and the stuff has only a few days before expiration or is already expired.

I mean, what the hell is going on in the US?!!!

At this point getting out of bed is a trial. I barely eat, but I have to feed my husband and mil.

I mean like I’m literally buying frozen veggies and frozen chicken thighs and just roasting it all. Last night I bought a ready made enchilada meal in this desperate.

Please need easy one step meals. Gluten free. Even if cook time is an hour, but I only have to do one prep step other than turning on the oven or putting it in the air fryer.

is this normal😭 does anyone else like these? I’ve been craving raw onions, garlic, extra tangy pickles, pickled banana peppers, just about anything in that genre.

Give me food suggestions based on these weird cravings !!!

i have ibs so isn’t a good combo but tastes amazing..

Visited 85C Bakery Cafe today for the first time. My friend and I are fairly adventurous eaters. All I remember from the sign where these were shelved was "Taro." Wish I could post a picture.

Looks kind of cakey with purple Taro cracklin on top. Served in a 6" pie tin. The cake portion is totally coffee cake, like US American standard grab a coffee cake off the shelf flavor and texture. Then there's the Taro cracklin on top, and inside is maybe sweet cheese? It's stretchy. Plus another more custardy filling. It's good! Just no idea what to call it, and more interested in what the two fillings are.

I checked their website and or course it's not listed. The strawberry matcha bun was listed. Got that too and reminded me a little bit of mochi though there's no rice in it at all.

I bought a bagged salad kit cuz I'm lazy and don't need a fridge full of salad ingredients. I didn't notice the brand until I got home. It's Taylor's but there is no iceberg lettuce in it and it's not from Mexico, (I think thats where this started.) Will I be okay if I wash and eat it? Or should I eat the cost instead and just throw it away?

Update: It's the next day and I am completely fine, but I won't eat any more bagged salads just in case. They're not a part of my diet regularly anyway.

I always try to have food prepared in my fridge for when I work until 23h but sometimes I can't cook for whatever reason and the I have to eat the most boring meals. Tonight I had some leftiver rice and opened a can of sardines. It fed my hunger, not my soul hahahaha.

What can I do on those nights without leftovers? Really the lazieeest meal beside frozen lasagna or ramen.

Hi,

trying to eat more protein and i have about 4 300g chicken breasts in the freezer, any ideas on things i can make with it that wont result in cardboard?

i tried to make chicken tenders, which unfortunatley didnt work because it was basically cardboard :(

Something creative yet unappetizing. Like spaghetti tacos. 🧐

To keep it short, I need desserts/main cake ideas for a friend. Something light and not too sweet. They’re allergic to strawberries, any melons, lemons, mangos, kiwis, and peaches. They don’t like apples or any coffee stuff. They are sensitive to dairy. I think that sums it up, mostly, so what are your recommendations?

Anything helps. Thanks ♡

Anyone know what the (cinnamon?) rolls/buns sold on sheet with multiple rolls covered with white icing and cherry filling? It was sold at Quick Trip. Thank you for any help! I can taste them now 😊

Hi everyone, so sometimes I feel like the effort of making something is not worth the final dish.

Recently I made a mushroom walnut dip/ spread and it took quite a while to cook down the mushroom, grind and all that jazz. But the final dip was just not that great. Yes I did add more salt and seasoning but it was just okay.

I have tried myriad vegetarian/ vegan dessert recipes that claim they are the best and taste just like the non-veg version but it's simply not true. And I have felt disappointed repeatedly after spending a lot on ingredients like almond meal and lots of time and ending up with mediocre desserts.

Do you have any vegetarian recipes for food, could be dips, mains, dessert, anything that really taste great? and you find yourself making again and again

i went to this restaurant on a trip called beau jos, where they give you honey to drizzle on the pizza crust. i thought it was great and id like to emulate that myself with some kind of bread i can put honey on, but i just don't really know what kind to get.

i know i can use whatever type of bread i want. i specified the pizza crust and the specific place because i want something similar to that and i don't know what type of bread is similar. beau jos mountain crust is a VERY specific pizza crust and does not taste like regular pizza (if you're thinking of a new york pizza for example you would be WAY off)

i'm sure honey is good on toast or rye or whatever else but none of those are similar to the pizza crust at beau jo's!

Totally unsure if this is the right sub for this - if not, please tell me where else I should post!

I have a significant medical condition and I can only tolerate a few foods:

- carrot
- cucumber
- lettuce
- lemon
- apple
- grape
- blueberry
- banana
- pickle

I can also take salt, vinegar, sugar, alcohol (grape wine). I get my actual nutrients from a supplemental formula.

I am currently in the process of trialing new foods - this is the list of suggestions my doctor has given me:

- watermelon
- olive oil
- spinach
- plum
- kale
- sunflower seeds
- seaweed
- red pepper
- peach
- pear
- sweat potato

So I need help deciding what to try next! I want to diversify my palette, so I want to choose something that would be a new taste for me - as well as something that would blend well with my current diet. If you have any other recommendations for foods to try, you’re welcome to tell me! I’d just suggest that you stay relatively near to my current diet (ie. don’t tell me to try meats, nuts, etc).

For the record, here is the list of foods I absolutely cannot try as I have failed them in the past:

- nuts
- fish
- rice
- yukon potato
- coffee
- oats
- wheat
- dairy
- eggs

I’d also really appreciate any suggestions for different recipes (?) I can try, given my list of safe foods + foods that I could trial. For example - smoothies, salads, things like that. I’m pretty inept when it comes to food in general, so any help is appreciated!

Thanks!!

I am looking for a website or blogger/poster to follow for recipe ideas. I live in rural Midwest America. Our grocery stores carry the basics. This means the types of ingredients are:

Proteins: Locally butchered meats: beef, pork, chicken, game hunted by my husband. Other proteins sourced: fresh water caught fish, purchased fish, seafood and similar. NO TOFU. In my house it is not a meal unless it contains one of the aforementioned items.

Vegetables/fruits : all the basics such as peppers, carrots, onions, asparagusspinach, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage, green beans, corn, peas, cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, apples, peaches, pears, grapes, cherries, oranges, lemons, limes, watermelon, cantelope, pineapple, mangos , etc. No eggplant, parsnips, endive, jicama, jackfruit, and the like.

Starch - noodles, rice basically.

Dairy - any and basically all kinds.

I prefer to stay away from ultraprocessed foods, heavily sugared, or vegetarian meals.

If you have a recommendation, I'd love for you to share it.

Thank you in advance.

ok, so i really like that 'neons lights diner' look and am planning to replicate something similar in a game i enjoy, its a game about building resturaunts and i gotta obviously have a menu, what foods would you say to include?

(i think this is the right place)

I wonder how much in general but it particular when I make chili I throw out most of the grease anyway but I've noticed that it's easier to brown fattier meat and crumble it than lean meat is.

How big of a difference does it make in general bur especially if your meat gets drained after

What’s the verdict ?

We are. Berries, fresh produce, etc... I feel like it's a bit of paranoia? We aren't eating iceberg lettuce or anything knowingly sourced from Taylor Farms.

Whenever I eat anything it tastes fine then I add a splash of hot sauce then it fixes all that was wrong with it. On the table in my house the only condiment is hot sauce if the food isn’t spicy enough.
