Title. I’m a person with severe health complications and a laundry list of defects, both of which make eating rather difficult sometimes. I’m concocting something I’ve dubbed “The Sludge”. It’s half a banana, two Kirkland protein shakes, six-thirteen strawberries, six tablespoons of soaked chia seeds, three handfuls of spinach, two dissolved B12 capsules, and really anything I can throw in there to stave off the madness that lingers each time I feel its fell viscosity caress my soft palate.
Is this a good start, or am I hurting myself? By my calculations, I’m reaching 90g of protein, 30g of fibre, a modest helping of iron, and some smatterings of essential vitamins. I figure it’s better than eating nothing but a handful of potato chips and half an apple.
How can I improve my sludge affordably? What can I add to this reagent for maximum nutritional punch? Please bring it on. I’m not scared anymore. Not anymore.

I am so in a budget and wanted to discover good eats for low. I'm really not into can food but I decided to buy no sugar added fruit cocktail ..it was amazing. I wonder what other foods I am missing out. Any suggestions?

After weeks of toothache, the one thing I've dreaded most has happened.. I have to get a root canal 😭

Prep work started today and I've been fitted with a temporary filling which is only designed to last 1-4 weeks. My permanent filling isn't being fitted for 16 days and I'm petrified of the temp one falling out in the mean time. In efforts to preserve it as best as possible I'm on a strict no hard or chewy food diet!

Please share your favourite soft food recipes and snacks to help a girl through this anxiety-inducing time! There's only so much tomato soup one can take!

Bonus points if recipes are plantbased (Im not, but my partner is and it'll save making multiple dishes). I'm also gonna be poor post treatment so the more affordable the better!

Thank you so much in advance 😄

My Walmart was selling amazing edibles heritage varieties of pumpkin and squash for only $1.97 for the whole giant thing! And .50c for a whole pie pumkin. Not by the pound whole thing.

Just got a whole eye of round roast for $5.99/lb CAN. That’s cheaper than ground beef. I cut it into two roasts, followed this recipe and it was absolutely fantastic! The key is to not overcook it (medium rare max) and slice very thin. The recipe is from Serious Eats. They call for top of round but I’ve made this twice with eye of round and it’s fantastic. They’re both cheap cuts so get whatever’s on special. Also, i didn’t have dried mushrooms. This sandwich really satisfies that red meat craving while staying on budget!
