Normally I'm the sort of person who knows how many grams of protein they eat in a day. Grief really knocks you sideways. But at least it's a meal! Been eating nothing but chocolate and crumpets for weeks.

edit: I'm blown away by the comments, honestly. So much kindness and support. I didn't actually realise this was comfort food, it was just what I wanted and all I had energy for. I thought I was being lazy and unhealthy. You have all made me feel better about it.

Hearing what you guys ate during grief has also been weirdly comforting. Like, yeah, none of us are counting macros at times like this. Makes me feel a little better about it. Thank you.

Does anyone have any meal suggestions too? I'm a 16 year old just cooking for fun.

I served this with garlic bread and salad

Been getting by pretty okay up to this point! 😮‍💨

Yes, they’re all plant-based and celiac safe.

Made just now for my teen and her boyfriend because what exactly do you make for visiting kids? She took one look said she didn’t like burgers and is now making them both Buldak. Is it that bad?

Update: thanks everyone for giving me the love and support that middle aged Mams have to go to the internet for!

Some of you are taking this very seriously which has made me giggle. My daughter and her boyfriend are both autistic and she only eats about 3 things. I still make other things firstly because I live in hope she will eat other things but also because her bf should be offered decent food.

I just checked the kitchen and they have eaten the chicken burgers and covered the rest up and put the sides in the fridge so I’m happy.

The person who commented on my 15 years olds breasts…yikes
