    Amazing recipes!
    I was wondering though:
    Is there something we could use instead of ham and still have a bearable taste iyo?
    (I've seen online claims that processed meats are type 1 carcinogens)
    Keep up the amazing work and have a nice day! Love your content

    Try putting some greek yoghurt into this. Like one small cup, 150g (~5.3 oz). it makes the whole dish much creamier on the inside without adding "bad" calories.

    Question about longevity: the internet says cooked chicken breast is good for 3-4 days in the fridge. I tend to agree-ish as the meat does change taste (I'm sensitive to meat taste!) after like day 3. How do you stretch out the life of your cooked meat? Generally my rule of thumb is 2 days post cook for chicken in the fridge before I would freeze it. I want to do these meal preps but I can't wrap my head around not being skeezed by the 4th/5th day meat. Suggestions?

    HEB has a bulk seasoning section. You can go buy the seasoning in bulk and refill your empty shakers. I've also had good success removing the printed labels so you know what you put in shaker.

    Definitely worth the subscription to the website. I really appreciate the variety. I've really enjoyed the hambulker helper recipe. Since it's good, and clean up is super easy.

    I was looking for ways to make chicken breast in the oven, and this is very helpful. I live in a small apartment and often pan-frying meats makes too much smoke.

    I am against physical violence. I asked the chicken breasts nicely to please have the same thickness but it did not work so I used beating as well and it worked out quite nicely. Now, after 20 years I get my parents motivations.

    I’ve been really craving some salmon meal preps but I don’t want to be that guy microwaving fish at work. Is there a recipe where you don’t need to reheat salmon? It seems like it could be something cool and refreshing but I don’t know enough

    Our grandparents & great grandparents (and before) didn't have options. Early morning to the market on weekend, some small stuff from the grocery store and cook & preserve for the winter (tomato sauce, halved peaches, jams…).
    As the economics is more crushing on the average Joe like you (I guess) and I, we need to get back to the roots and learn these skills again, instead of poppin' up at a nearby restaurant – which was almost the same money as cooking for a while, now it's ways more expensive…
    Not mentioning processed food maxed out the way it's borderline toxic, but definitely 50x more calories than whatever one cooks (IMO even with the same kcal values – if the body works less on processing that stuff it technically should be more nutritious).
