Barf Alert in spades. Every single SNAP recipe has food I never eat, like sugar. I also don’t do recipes..
My dad had a lot of restaurants, taught me to cook: “Buy the best food you can afford and do as little as possible to it.”
I buy excellent quality fresh and/or frozen veggies and steam them. Organic when necessary. Organic little red potatoes are my starch. Get really nice pasture-raised chicken and eggs and beef in local stores, often at sale prices. And Alaskan Salmon Burgers from Costco. And have meatless burgers a couple of times a week. Buy organic pasture-raised butter and nice CA organic olive oil, all last a very long time. Use a ton of pepper, which I grind myself and no salt.
Eat twice a day—I couldn’t eat lunch, just too much food. About to make an omelet with a sliced steamed potato, sliced tomato, slice of avocado in it. Not really hungry, but I know I have to eat.
Zero health problems and my doc says I’ll live to be 100.
For wonderful holiday food, I go to my daughter’s house. Best cook within 100 miles. She loves to cook, inherited that from her grandfather.
That sugar is in every recipe but one is not the worst part, it’s that every single recipe has as its FIRST instruction to WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER!
How filthy a creature are you that when about to prepare, move, handle or portion food you don’t AUTOMATICALLY wash your hands? Even between different items to prevent cross-contamination.
When I’m cooking I often need to change the towel because I’m washing between products. Then again, I was raised in a house where food safety was a primary concern.

That is so true! :)
How old are you now?
