    I'm the worst honestly, like I am the absolute pickiest person ever. If it resembles a veggie I usually stay as far as humanly possible away from it. I try sometimes (like today with getting a squash), but that said, it ususally doesn't work out. And the others in my house are equally picky, so meal planning is fun :emoji_joy:

    I do plan on incorporating a lot more ground turkey though, and probably ground chicken as well. Chicken was my best friend last time I did this.

    I've been doing better than normal with water, and do try to drink a whole bottle around 20-30 minutes before I eat, so that I don't get left feeling quite so dissatisfied :emoji_joy:

    Ugh, I know how to do this, and I know I -can- do it because I have before, but the beginning always just sucks so much.

    Oh boy, I'm guilty of cauliflowering errrrrrything. Only because I don't digest most veggies well, and it's easy to trick myself into eating it once a week in the form of bastardized rice, tater tots, etc.

    But... taste/texturally is it anywhere near comparable to the real thing? Because i'm legit all over "food hacks" if they're actually anything like the real thing.

    I do this when I'm on keto but I hate myself every time because I love rice.

    My mom never made me eat my veggies (and we never had any in our house to begin with) so I went all the way up until I was an adult before finding out what carrots taste like. Seeing kids freak out over brussel sprouts or whatever the popular sitcom/children's cartoon trope was didn't help at all growing up.

    I wouldn't say it tastes like the real thing, but I've gotten pretty good at making it tasty enough I don't mind eating it. My aldi sells bags of riced cauliflower which makes my life so much easier.

    Its a hard thing to get over. Since most people are looking for a "subsitute" for something. Just see it for what it is. A well made califlower steak isn't a steak by anymeans but it can be damn good by itself with some balsamic vinger and some seasoning.

    No catch here, the requester put out a similar hit some time ago, which is why I can't accept the new one.

    In college I ate fried food almost exclusively and drank about 8 sodas a day. I started working out and I was allowed to stay in the dorms for a winter break, I had almost no money, there were no dining halls, and I had no job, so I bought all frozen veggies, beans, frozen turkey and chicken breast and rice. It was all I could eat for about a month so it's what I like to eat now.

    I hate how condescending it sounds explaining to someone in person though because it sounds like you're going "JUST DO IT AND ULL LIKE IT U NERD" but it worked out really nicely.

    This, this is me.

    My mom worked in a diner type restaurant and at McDonalds my entire childhood, so basically I grew up eating cheeseburgers and fries and absolutely nothing healthy. My mouth is just dead convinced that if it's good for you, it doesn't belong in there.

    So far cauliflower tater tots that i've had do NOT taste close enough to potatoes. I do like cauliflower as a replacement for potatoes in potato soup though.
