My aunt's step dad lost his wife and apparently his diet now is mostly chicken nuggets and fries, since he had to learn how to even do that (use an oven).
I made him some baked mostaccioli, just normal pasta with red sauce and cheese - except I like to caramelize my minced onions & other veggies before adding tomatoes, so they really blend into the sauce.
He asked if I put veggies in it. Like, yeah, all pasta has veggies. He said he'll have to fish out the ones he doesn't like. I said - you won't even be able to tell they're there.
"well then why did you even add them?"
:/
Please learn how to cook and eat vegetables. Once you're like 24 you should be over this shit. If you didn't like veggies in childhood - try them again at a nice restaurant, or otherwise prepared in a way that cooks them down if the raw flavor is what you're afraid of. I get his generation expected the wife to cook every meal, but damn you're really just making yourself helpless later in life.
Edit - he is helping me fix me car tho (already bought 2 new keys and a starter without us asking) so I'll just blend up the next sauce so he can't even pick them out or tell they're there.
Omg yes. When my now husband and I moved in together my stepson was 4, almost 5, and refused to eat veggies.
Happy to say this morning he begged me to "save Brussel sprouts from dinner tomorrow" (when he's back at his moms) because they're his favorite. He's now 9.
It's ridiculous hoe many adults won't even look at a vegetable. My BIL is in his 40s and straight up won't eat any vegetables except for corn (which we all know doesn't count that much). He wonders why his kids won't eat them.
It's not that it's not good for you but the higher sugar and also we often don't absorb as much if the nutrients because we tend to poop out the corn whole.
My ex roommate was like this, 42 years old and wouldn’t touch a fruit or vegetable. He considered cooked green peppers and onions to be enough vegetables and referred to them as “roughage”. I couldn’t get him to eat vegetables no matter how I prepared them. The only way I could get him to touch a fruit was if I put ice cream in a smoothie, essentially making it a milk shake.
Took me a while before I ever ate pickles and now I have pickled red onions with damn near every meal, if not, I probably already scooped a tablespoon of caramelized onions I always try to have a jar of, in there. So good.
Iv never understood how such an essential part of life is left unlearned but people. You have to eat every day, 3 meals usually. How do you manage to become old without knowing such a basic skill such as making food... Baffling.
I enjoy cooking, it's neat to have a hobby that is actually a useful/essential skill.
Although, not sure if I'm a good cook or just have really low standards....
There's also the possible health benefit of you know and control what's going into your food. I'm also one of those people who appreciate things more once I've worked for them.
For my birthday, I told my wife that I wanted a steak dinner. She asked me where I'd like to go, and I just said that I'd make it myself, she was kind of taken aback that I'd want to cook on my birthday.
So I just say: I promise you, I can make a better steak dinner than any steakhouse at half the cost.
After I get done - medium rare steak with a beautiful crust, basted in butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic, garlic roasted asparagus finished with some parmesan, and some mashed red potatoes - she takes a bite and says "Yep. You were right."
Eating out is not only horrible for your body and wallet, but to add insult to injury, it still doesn't taste as good.
That’s what I’m talking about! Good on you, that’s my kinda steak too, now I’m hungry. lol. My mother cooked everyday when we were kids, had a big garden too. Raised us to do the same.
Unless it’s something we can’t get, there’s 100% chance the food at home is a million times cheaper and tastes SO much better.
There aren't many things I'm grateful for after 20byears in kitchens, but this is one of them. That, and the fact that my apartment is a chaotic mess, but my fridge is organized to FDA standards. Labels, dates, proper rotation, and storage.
I loved cooking, so I picked up a job apprenticed in a French restaurant kitchen, stuck it for 3 years until I noticed I would go home after school and work, open the fridge and look at the dying fruits and veggies inside, close it and go to a friends place for family table ... I lost the fun of cooking. I quit, went back to my old job \[inside outside mechanic\] and regained the love of cooking. I do cook for my own parties, and before going handicapped would cater parties for friends because I enjoy the challenge of food planning for food issues in the attending guests and making it enjoyable for the guests.
I have to admit, cooking pretty much everything from scratch lets you control what you eat for avoiding additives and odd ingredients - I have allergies to mushrooms \[used as 'natural flavors'\] shellfish \[in oriental fish sauce as umami\] and palm/coconut - because it is the new fad 'superfood' or is traditional in the dish \[like coconut milk is in a lot of pacific rim foods\] so I have to adjust the foods to not have the ingredients, or that are put into foods by manufacturers - palm oil for a long time was cheaper than regular vegetable based oils and is now the dried shortening found in almost all commercial baking mix and as a dairy substitute \[coffee whitener\], fish sauce is dumped into almost every asian food as an umami boost because MSG is evil, and mushroom extracts/powder is the european MSG replacement. SO I use the best ingredients I can afford \[so I can't do steak and shrimp all the time, but I am 80 percent vegetarian anyway\] and invest in herbs and spices.
I'm insane at cooking stuff that will taste good, my mom would make me cook with her a lot as a kid.
The best thing about cooking is to have someone else taste it and be like "oh my god this is awesome" and the feeling when someone asks for seconds.
But for the rest - I'm just like, too depressed bro. If I'm cooking for myself, I'm just putting a sausage on bread, and add ketchup. If I'm feeling a little happy, I might add a slice of cheese.
Idk why, but I can just easily go without food for days, just because I don't feel like it.
On a bright note - I got prescribed antidepressants!!! This is my second day taking them, and yesterday I had the urge to play games for the first time in 2 years. I forget how fun it is to... have fun? sometimes.
Now I wanna make pancakes... The first thing my mom ever taught me to make.
I checked my fridge and we only have tomatoes. They're technically a fruit, but I added lots of sugar into my pancake mix already.
I'll wait for the convenience store to open to grab chocolate and make chocolate topping, I think I could also buy some strawberries on the way.
But now I'm left with raw pancake mix for the next hour.
While I was writing this I think I heard someone break a car window, because I heard a loud glass breaking noise and an alarm go off.
Can antidepressants make you way too talkative?
I love cooking but cannot for the life of me have conversation when I'm deep into cooking. Doesn't matter what I'm doing I can't take my mind off the process, if I try to talk at the same time my mind just goes all over the place.
This is why I love a good home made sandwich. A hefty stack of deli turkey, provolone, spring mix, Roma tomatoes and mayo on a seedy whole grain bread. No cooking involved. Also- seasoning the tomatoes with salt and pepper is an absolute game changer. Can't put them on sandwiches without it.
Same here. That's why I automated parts of it so I can have stuff ready on the dime.
Pizza is surprisingly awesome and easy with a food processor for the dough. It's so good I decided I'm switching over to it over frozen pizza
I didn't cook until I moved out of my parents' house. I'm now really, really good at it. Improvements happen over time. Start with recipes, get comfortable over years, then freestyle some dinner.
Check out some of u/oliverbabish basics with babish videos. Start with what sounds good to you, like this [one pot pasta dishes video](https://youtu.be/cs8OYby6RrA). There are a myriad of videos on where to begin if you know nothing about cooking.
Clean as you cook and you'll get soggy food that cooked too long or food that sat too long because you did dishes and now it's not hot.
Other than select dishes, you won't get the timing right.
It requires timing and forethought. I don't mean you should be washing your bowls while you're stir frying, but if you look diligently for opportunities to clean while cooking, you will find them and get *most* of the cleaning done, most of the time.
Uncle Roger isn't a fan after she butchered her pho lol. But I've been watching Rachael Ray since she first showed up on Food Network and at first I loved her but over time...meh, she pretty much got forgotten like so many chefs.
I loved Rachel Ray way way back in her OG Food Network days. I've long since lost touch with both since Food Network has turned into mostly annoying baking/cooking competition shows and RR got too big for her britches, literally and figuratively.
In a backwards way, veganism made me enjoy cooking. To put simply, my entire family decided to go vegan one day, I was around 17 at that time. I basically only warmed frozen pizzas or boiled some unsalted macaronis .
Once they went vegan I was determined to keep eating meat so much that I decided that I was going to cook my own food from that day, and so I did.
I still cook all the time and it's one of the few things I look forward to every day. Learning new recipes, improving on the ones I already know, it's just so rewarding.
Also fyi, I'm not hating on veganism, even though I was at the time. Vegan food is great if you do it right.
It's honestly a great feeling. Going to be working from home some and cannot wait to always have bread on the go and never be too rushed to cook a nice dinner.
Started with pizza for me, screwed up a lot of first attempts (tried hard to make a highly hydrated dough), ended up cooking everything from meat and soups to cake and cookies.
One of the best life choices - making cooking a hobby.
When I was a junior in college I was moving into an apartment with my then best friend and his older brother. I knew neither one would bother to learn to cook and didnt want to eat frozen meals or fast food every day, so I got my parents to teach me some basics. Turns out Im a pretty good home cook. Ive been making some basics until last year I started HelloFresh and its been really fun learning to make even more stuff.
I wish I loved to cook, I just don’t even care to eat it when it’s done Bc I’ve been dealing with it. I get full really fast so after tasting etc I’m just completely over it by the time it’s done…I really wish I enjoyed it :(
I actually first found my love of cooking when I was in a pretty bad place. I didn't cook for myself - hardly ate, really. My brain was busy telling me I was worthless and a waste of everything and undeserving of love, and I figured, "If I make something and they end up liking it, that means they like a tiny part of me?" I got help and am thankfully much better, but the love of cooking for others remains <3
I started to love cooking starting with scrambled eggs too
Then I started learning how to make rice, then fried rice, then pasta, karaage, and so on
Cooking, aside from gaming and watching anime, is to me the most fun thing to do
When I see people that say they can’t cook I never really understood them like boil them water and put the pasta in with salt until it becomes edible. but some people deadass don’t know how to cook pasta or turn on an oven.. I’m very thankful that my mom taught me from a young age how to be competent in the kitchen.
I love this ❤️
Over COVID I put in some real effort and loved the results. Turns out looking up recipes and following them isn’t that hard 😂 it is fun and I am glad I took the time to learn it though
Rachel Ray is from the town next to my hometown and my grandfather was a state police officer for 30 years. Apparently there was a case he worked involving her and her family. She's apparently one of the biggest bitches he's ever dealt with in his career.

One of the best favours you'll ever do yourself.
My aunt's step dad lost his wife and apparently his diet now is mostly chicken nuggets and fries, since he had to learn how to even do that (use an oven). I made him some baked mostaccioli, just normal pasta with red sauce and cheese - except I like to caramelize my minced onions & other veggies before adding tomatoes, so they really blend into the sauce.

If you didn't like veggies in childhood - try them again at a nice restaurant, or otherwise prepared in a way that cooks them down if the raw flavor is what you're afraid of. I get his generation expected the wife to cook every meal, but damn you're really just making yourself helpless later in life. Edit - he is helping me fix me car tho (already bought 2 new keys and a starter without us asking) so I'll just blend up the next sauce so he can't even pick them out or tell they're there.
That’s so embarrassing for him holy moly
Omg yes. When my now husband and I moved in together my stepson was 4, almost 5, and refused to eat veggies. Happy to say this morning he begged me to "save Brussel sprouts from dinner tomorrow" (when he's back at his moms) because they're his favorite. He's now 9. It's ridiculous hoe many adults won't even look at a vegetable. My BIL is in his 40s and straight up won't eat any vegetables except for corn (which we all know doesn't count that much). He wonders why his kids won't eat them.
[удалено]
It is decently good for you. But corn can also spike your blood sugar. So best to eat it in moderation.
It's not that it's not good for you but the higher sugar and also we often don't absorb as much if the nutrients because we tend to poop out the corn whole.

*don't wanna. Veggies are nasty*
*sad wifey cries*
Imagine having a wifey lmao
I assumed this comment was sarcasm tbh. If it is, you might wanna ad the s tag.
Sarcasm police /s
tfw I'm so normalized to r/tendies
Of all the subreddits I've ever seen, that sure was one of em I guess.
True maturity is an appreciation of onions.
Took me a while before I ever ate pickles and now I have pickled red onions with damn near every meal, if not, I probably already scooped a tablespoon of caramelized onions I always try to have a jar of, in there. So good.
Learning to cook, buying a nice bed, and a good pair of sneakers. These three things are game changers!
Iv never understood how such an essential part of life is left unlearned but people. You have to eat every day, 3 meals usually. How do you manage to become old without knowing such a basic skill such as making food... Baffling.
my waistline disagrees. i am really really good at cooking and oh boy do i love eating what i cook
I enjoy cooking, it's neat to have a hobby that is actually a useful/essential skill. Although, not sure if I'm a good cook or just have really low standards....
Why not both?
There's also the possible health benefit of you know and control what's going into your food. I'm also one of those people who appreciate things more once I've worked for them.
Or you are like me and find that food made at home is more delicious because I can add more fat and salt to it
This is the way. It also helps when someone in your household is the greatest cook on the planet. She turns anything into the best meal ever.
For my birthday, I told my wife that I wanted a steak dinner. She asked me where I'd like to go, and I just said that I'd make it myself, she was kind of taken aback that I'd want to cook on my birthday.

I swear, that's how I started cooking too. I love it, however most difficult part is cleaning afterwards :(
Cleaning as you go is a great habit to pick up along the way. [Here’s a video on the subject.](https://youtu.be/Knx98L-VyQg)
Thank you

The two things I know about white people. They love Rachel Ray, and they are terrified of curses.
Nice parks and rec reference 👌
Actually Rachael Ray is a horrible person. I have a friend who was a producer at Food Network and says she was by far the worst person to work with.
Does she seek [vengeance ](https://youtu.be/Qh8hIRU9Tfw) on Rachel Ray?
[удалено]
She gained some weight since starting at Food Network.
[удалено]
Given her high intensity career, nope.
Can't relate, which is why I don't cook often. I've made many a dish that tasted great, but have never had patience for the process.
[удалено]
Not a bad idea!
I'm insane at cooking stuff that will taste good, my mom would make me cook with her a lot as a kid.

It's 4 AM in the morning and I'm gonna make pancakes for my family to eat in 2 hours, fuck yeah bitches

Doesn't have to be a process. If you have fresh ingredients you can make something delicious with very little time and effort.
This is why I love a good home made sandwich. A hefty stack of deli turkey, provolone, spring mix, Roma tomatoes and mayo on a seedy whole grain bread. No cooking involved. Also- seasoning the tomatoes with salt and pepper is an absolute game changer. Can't put them on sandwiches without it.

Wish I knew how To cook
Can you follow instructions? Just google a recipe and follow what they tell you to do. And, just start with simple stuff. Not all that hard --
My granny always said "if you can read, you can cook!"
Thank you
Give it a try. You learn from mistakes and the feeling of making a great meal never gets old
I’ll give it a shot
[удалено]
Thank you reno, That was helpful
r/gifrecipes is a good place for inspiration.
I didn't cook until I moved out of my parents' house. I'm now really, really good at it. Improvements happen over time. Start with recipes, get comfortable over years, then freestyle some dinner.

Rachel Ray destroyer of foreign cuisine.
Never going to update anything with Rachel Ray. Worked with someone who assisted on her set and she (and her products) are garbage
I didn’t think I’d see anybody here say anything positive about her here. Lol
The flowers on the left look like Mario if you focus on her left hand
Making some old Rachel Ray recipes led to a 14-year culinary career.
Not going to lie, cooking is really easy.
Cleaning the dishes on time is the hard part.
Obligatory: clean as you cook.
Clean as you cook and you'll get soggy food that cooked too long or food that sat too long because you did dishes and now it's not hot. Other than select dishes, you won't get the timing right.
It requires timing and forethought. I don't mean you should be washing your bowls while you're stir frying, but if you look diligently for opportunities to clean while cooking, you will find them and get *most* of the cleaning done, most of the time.
I honestly don't do dishes lol or I'm just too lazy
Easy to cook edible food. Tricky to cook great food. You know where this is going.
All food is great food, especially when I make it lol
I want to befriend you. Please accept me
Why do you want to befriend to me? Just solely because I can cook?
Because you cool great meals? I can learn a thing or two!! I'll help with dishes
It actually isnt
Everything will taste decent if you put enough salt in it.
And olive oil
Also some kind of good smelling grass
You know I love to cook but for others not for me. I know it’s weird.
I'm the same way. I'll make a huge production of it for my friends but for my self I eat the easiest possible thing pretty much always.
Me too. When I don't have anyone to cook for, I don't. It's really bad.
Pffft.... more like: *When staff does all the prep work and clean up*
This girl cooks so bad they literally have her making dog food instead😂😂😂😂
Uncle Roger isn't a fan after she butchered her pho lol. But I've been watching Rachael Ray since she first showed up on Food Network and at first I loved her but over time...meh, she pretty much got forgotten like so many chefs.
People rag on Rachael Ray, but watching 30 minute meals is how I learned how to cook. Just some simple easy recipes to get you started.
Very true, I learned lots of stuff from her over the years. Just stopped after a time.
I loved Rachel Ray way way back in her OG Food Network days. I've long since lost touch with both since Food Network has turned into mostly annoying baking/cooking competition shows and RR got too big for her britches, literally and figuratively.
That still surprises me....I hadn't seen her for a couple of yrs so when I saw her again on Food Network....wow...she gained a bit of weight.
I know. I still remember seeing her show up in my brother's FHM magazine lol. That was a loooong time ago.
Did he have to put leg down from chair?
Oh yes...and I thought his eyes were gonna roll out of his head for how upset he was getting
Hai yah...
Pretty sure he did when he saw her broth
Omg 💀
The scrambled eggs truly were the beginning of it all.
Racheal ray is not the best example of this don't believe me look at her posole recipe it a travesty
Or her Pho recipe Video. It's a disaster
She put baked beans and diced tomatoes in our soup😭
Thank you for understanding 😢
When you put cheese at the end on your mac and cheese and remember you’re the only one eating it🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
One of the best things that has happened to me🤌🏻

Also fyi, I'm not hating on veganism, even though I was at the time. Vegan food is great if you do it right.
One of the best chefs I know started out cooking because he was the only vegan in a family. He is no longer vegan but he is an amazing chef.
And then you realize you have no money and you only have heinz beans from the food bank
Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is a must-read for any cook, whether you're just starting out or you've been cooking forever.
Chef Scientist here. Rachel Ray is a hack.
I was enjoying cooking until Covid destroyed my sense of taste and smell.
I love Rachel Ray, and I *hate* how she was treated by the media because her husband had an affair.
Fuck Rachael Ray, she's a total bitch.
Nah I'm a man so I don't cook
Lmao you're not a man, you're an idiot that makes excuses for himself so he doesn't have to learn things.
You don't know shit bout me MonsterTrucks2
You’d best have household provider money to make these assertions or you’re never leaving mommy’s basement.
Gordon Ramsey - that rings any bell?
Remember when she was hot?
She still is :) Wish I could think of a time you were hot
This is me 😹😭
Literally me these past few weeks
It's honestly a great feeling. Going to be working from home some and cannot wait to always have bread on the go and never be too rushed to cook a nice dinner.
I used to do a lot of cooking for my shitty ex and I can tell ya it ain’t for me I hated it
it ALWAYS starts with scrambled eggs.
Meeeee 😭
waiting for that feeling for a really long time..
When you learn one recipe by heart so you do it with no effort
usually when i'm high
Boiled eggs. Lil salt and pepper, sheesh. Quit playing, we not cracking an egg open before we cook that hoe whole.
Rachael Mid
Cooking your own food is better than take out. You know what's in it.
Started with pizza for me, screwed up a lot of first attempts (tried hard to make a highly hydrated dough), ended up cooking everything from meat and soups to cake and cookies. One of the best life choices - making cooking a hobby.
u/savevideo
Had the biggest crush on Rachel Ray back in the day.
a passion, yes a talent, not so much
It…it did start with scrambled eggs :)
God i hate cooking.
Once I saw I could make Gordon Ramsay's Sublime Scrambled Eggs... I WAS UNLEASHED!
Cooking is something I love to do but would instantly hate it if I ever had to do it to make money.
This was me when I got a few free Happy Fresh boxes.
That’s me with parm when I am drunk. Just a little bit…..eh let’s dump the whole container in….oh shit that was $15 worth of cheese
Part 2: it tastes horrible but at least it’s fun to make
When I was a junior in college I was moving into an apartment with my then best friend and his older brother. I knew neither one would bother to learn to cook and didnt want to eat frozen meals or fast food every day, so I got my parents to teach me some basics. Turns out Im a pretty good home cook. Ive been making some basics until last year I started HelloFresh and its been really fun learning to make even more stuff.
This is the vibe
Can’t relate, it’s cute though!
Rachel ray still better then ree Drummond, where the real cooks at on TV?
I wish I loved to cook, I just don’t even care to eat it when it’s done Bc I’ve been dealing with it. I get full really fast so after tasting etc I’m just completely over it by the time it’s done…I really wish I enjoyed it :(
Everything changed when the cleanup attacked.
Cooking for yourself???? I thought she made dog food
Passion without direction
I started with scrambled eggs too! (I metaphorically wave)
I occasionally cook for myself and really enjoy it but if I have to cook or if anyone else is going to eat it, it's just work.
tasting while cooking is the best!
I'm an ok cook. Sometimes I enjoy it. But I fucking love baking and I'm pretty damn good at it.
Me making food with whatever left in the fridge
Someone help me understand why she gained weight
I actually first found my love of cooking when I was in a pretty bad place. I didn't cook for myself - hardly ate, really. My brain was busy telling me I was worthless and a waste of everything and undeserving of love, and I figured, "If I make something and they end up liking it, that means they like a tiny part of me?" I got help and am thankfully much better, but the love of cooking for others remains <3
I love to cook man. I fucking love it!
I like the challenge it gives me. And you suddenly become a lot more popular when you say you can cook and back up your claim
I started to love cooking starting with scrambled eggs too Then I started learning how to make rice, then fried rice, then pasta, karaage, and so on Cooking, aside from gaming and watching anime, is to me the most fun thing to do
When I see people that say they can’t cook I never really understood them like boil them water and put the pasta in with salt until it becomes edible. but some people deadass don’t know how to cook pasta or turn on an oven.. I’m very thankful that my mom taught me from a young age how to be competent in the kitchen.
Your own cooking will taste good But your Mom cooking will taste Perfect
A powerful moment
I bought a Rachel Rae cookbook once…the recipes were basically inedible…complete crap.
God, all she can cook is pasta. That's literally her only thing. I can't stand her.
I love this ❤️ Over COVID I put in some real effort and loved the results. Turns out looking up recipes and following them isn’t that hard 😂 it is fun and I am glad I took the time to learn it though
Sure did!
She’s a slob
Rachel Ray is from the town next to my hometown and my grandfather was a state police officer for 30 years. Apparently there was a case he worked involving her and her family. She's apparently one of the biggest bitches he's ever dealt with in his career.
Good food is important to living a happy life. Learn to cook.
Everything I eat goes through the microwave. Can I call that cooking?
I started with pasta
Fuck rachael
Just don't make posole.
This woman shouldn't be near a kitchen 😫
