Thank you for this post! With the prices of meat skyrocketing we are considering more vegetarian meals but we’ve been struggling with carb-heaviness. Hopefully I can find something good in these cookbooks that can make up for it.

No bonus points - Air fryer potatoes with oil on it to make it nice and crispy

Yes bonus points - black bean burgers. It’s breadcrumbs, warmed black beans that got cooled down, and an egg to make it stick together. That’s healthy.

Sally’s Baking Addiction - really enjoy the pumpkin bread. might make it again once pumpkin is in season once more. Budget Bytes Many of the recipes are adaptable to Southern Ontario prices. Add a few dollars for estimation and you’re golden. Cooking On a Bootstrap - I really like the concept of it, but I haven’t quite made any recipes just yet.

Definitely not dissing pancake mix. That there is the holy baking mix. My mother likes to make them in cupcakes cups in the microwave and eat them later.

(I will however insist that the specific brand of canned peas that pop up where I live are really gross)

Also, won’t lie, it is fascinating to meet another person who eats raw noodles out of the box. I thought that was just me!!!

The black beans sound yummy and so does that fried rice. Thank you for commenting with your recipes!

I notice injustice, I just don’t often do anything about it because of my anxiety disorder, which makes me cry myself to sleep for six hours.

The House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It wasn’t scary per say but I had an interesting experience where I had a manic episode reading it, barely slept, and got absolutely obsessed with the idea of it as I read it.

10/10 loved the immersion aspect.

Oh yeah, it’s definitely more than just attention issues in class. Fun trivia: we have a high comorbidity rate with bipolar disorder. Did you know that? Our emotional dysregulation tends to be so bad that people with ADHD keep getting diagnosed with bipolar. How is that school based? What does that have to do with homework? Nothing! Yet, everyone acts like ADHD is just something that interferes with homework! It’s frustrating.

Oh definitely. Let’s talk about adhd for a second.

So first of all, everyone assumes the only issues it causes is with work and schooling. Once it affects your daily life, That’s when allies start to eye you weirdly. Sorry, what do you mean that you can’t do laundry right now because of “executive dysfunction”—even kids can do their chores if their parents bug them enough!

Secondly, resources are slim. Books are targeted towards teenagers in school, parents and their unruly kids, parents and their gifted kids…but there sadly isn’t as many books on adult ADHD unless it’s an organization book!

Next, let’s talk about the depression and stress it causes. No one clues into that. Free therapy in my province is targeted towards warped thinking, which is great and all but doesn’t help at all when it comes to adhd. I’m not necessarily depressed because I thought of the bad things that are going to happen–I’m depressed because I can’t physically bring myself to do something productive right now. It’s executive dysfunction, not sadness.

Not too sure if I have tomato soup but I Do have a kinda gross (in that “this is probably not healthy for me, im eating it anyway” way) can of spaghetti that is calling my name, so thank you for the idea!

Yep! The macaroni soup acts as a nice little cheese sauce replacement that when combined with a ground meat, always tastes yummy. I could be using cheese sauce, but I chose to opt for sliced cheese instead of regular cheese this week.

The world’s plainest, most comforting food ever: Grilled cheese.

I also plan on making macaroni with ground turkey in it mixed with mushroom soup.

Basically we’re a little frugal this week :P

I used to think I was good at math. It turns out I was good at memorizing multiplication tables, but I am very, very bad at formulas and word problems.

Hello everyone! I’m Witch and I am an ADHDer that probably has autism but hasn’t really gotten around to getting diagnosed yet on account of being an adult that feels like it’ll be more hassle than its worth.

I’m currently on Vynase.

My special interest is art and I am currently trying to “fix” my life. High school drop out, no job, hoping for a change.

It’s nice to meet you all!
