[dearchose]

Idk if I want to have him in this au or make him his own blog, but here is my new boy, an OC Link and his dog, Runa. His nickname is Nut Cracker ^^

This is not from any game. Just an original oc au. I hope you still like him (He's Kinda like Fisher, but he doesn't meet any of the others)... I think that anwers my question- Imma make a blog for him... erm- Lemme post this then reblog this once the blog is made...

I'm probably gonna make the new blog once I have the prologue and maybe some chapters. [Gonna be text only and maybe one day I'll be motivated to make it into a comic too :)) ]

my parents will say things like "we didn't have all this peanut allergy nonsense when WE were kids" and i'll start to point out that we are more aware of allergies now than we were previously, that cesarean births have been linked to a higher likelihood to develop childhood allergies, or even that some children might not have truly life threatening allergies, but that their parents would prefer to avoid repeated, prolonged exposure since that risks making the allergy worse...

... then i remember my younger brother would complain that his throat was itchy and his stomach hurt whenever he ate anything with tree nuts as a child, and that they told him to "be grateful for the food god gave us" and forced him to eat it anyway, until one day he went into anaphylaxis at the Cracker Barrel.

and i just sigh and change the subject

[kineats]

do u got anything for a robot i think my laptop would not like it if i ate the motherboard so uhhhhhh

Circuitry Snacks

Sheet Pan Pizza (Use Any Of These Green Pizza Ideas for the sauce, onions and yellow peppers for the circuitry, and charred tomatoes or olives or similar for the chips)

Collard Green Chips

Or These Crackers

I would also suggest a mix of Cheerios, These Pretzel Wheels, pretzel rods, and mixed nuts and roasted pumpkin seeds for a sort of "Nuts and Bolts and Chips" feel.

I also found THIS!!! Very neat~ (Other Links Here)

Sorry I couldn't find much, friend!! I'll keep looking and add more as I come up with ideas~!!

Nourishing Body And Mind: Exploring The World Of Healthy Snacks

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a balanced diet can be challenging, especially when it comes to snacking. However, with a growing emphasis on health and wellness, the demand for nutritious and satisfying snacks has surged. Enter the realm of healthy snacks – delicious, convenient, and packed with essential nutrients to fuel our bodies and minds. In this article, we delve into the diverse landscape of healthy snacks, exploring their benefits, variety, and the role they play in supporting overall well-being.

The Rise of Healthy Snacking

Gone are the days when snacking was synonymous with empty calories and processed junk food. As consumers become more health-conscious and mindful of their dietary choices, the demand for healthier snack options has skyrocketed. According to market research, the global healthy snacks market is projected to continue its upward trajectory, driven by increasing awareness of the importance of nutrition, rising disposable incomes, and changing lifestyles.

Benefits of Healthy Snacks

Healthy snacks offer a multitude of benefits beyond mere satiation. Here are some reasons why incorporating nutritious snacks into your diet is a smart choice:

Sustained Energy: Unlike sugary or high-carb snacks that lead to energy crashes, healthy snacks provide a steady source of energy to fuel your body throughout the day. Snacks rich in complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein help stabilize blood sugar levels, keeping you feeling energized and focused.

Nutrient-Rich: Healthy snacks are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients that support overall health and well-being. Whether it’s vitamin-packed fruits and vegetables, protein-rich nuts and seeds, or fiber-filled whole grains, choosing nutrient-dense snacks helps nourish your body and promote optimal function.

Weight Management: Contrary to popular belief, snacking can aid in weight management when done mindfully. Healthy snacks can help curb cravings, prevent overeating at meal times, and keep hunger at bay, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight and avoid unhealthy food choices.

Improved Mood and Productivity: Nutrient-rich snacks have been linked to improved mood, cognitive function, and productivity. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as nuts and seeds, and antioxidants, such as berries and dark chocolate, have been shown to support brain health and mental well-being, enhancing focus, concentration, and overall cognitive function.

Better Digestive Health: Many healthy snacks are rich in dietary fiber, which plays a crucial role in supporting digestive health and regularity. Fiber helps promote healthy digestion, prevent constipation, and maintain gut health by nourishing beneficial gut bacteria.

Variety of Healthy Snacks

One of the best things about healthy snacking is the abundance of options available to suit every taste preference and dietary need. Here are some delicious and nutritious snack ideas to tantalize your taste buds:

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: Nature’s original snack, fresh fruits and vegetables are bursting with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. From crunchy carrots and cucumber slices to juicy berries and citrus fruits, the possibilities are endless. Pair them with hummus, nut butter, or Greek yogurt for added protein and flavor.

Nuts and Seeds: Packed with heart-healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants, nuts and seeds make for satisfying and nutritious snacks. Almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds are excellent choices. Enjoy them on their own or sprinkle them over yogurt, salads, or whole grain crackers for added crunch.

Greek Yogurt: Creamy, tangy, and rich in protein, Greek yogurt is a versatile snack option that can be enjoyed on its own or customized with your favorite toppings. Add fresh fruit, honey, granola, or nuts for a nutritious and delicious treat that satisfies sweet cravings while providing a protein boost.

Whole Grain Crackers and Rice Cakes: Choose whole grain crackers or rice cakes for a crunchy and satisfying snack that’s low in calories and high in fiber. Top them with avocado, cheese, tuna, or smoked salmon for a balanced snack that provides a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats.

Homemade Trail Mix: Create your custom trail mix by combining nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and whole-grain cereal or pretzels. Customize the mix to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs, whether you prefer a sweet and salty combination or a savory blend with spices and herbs.

Smoothies and Smoothie Bowls: Whip up a nutrient-packed smoothie or smoothie bowl using a variety of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, and protein sources such as Greek yogurt, protein powder, or nut butter. Blend until smooth and creamy, and enjoy as a refreshing and satisfying snack or meal replacement.

Snacking On-The-Go: Convenience Meets Nutrition

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is key, and healthy snacking options are no exception. Here are some additional snack ideas that are perfect for busy lifestyles:

Protein Bars and Snack Packs: Protein bars and snack packs are convenient, portable options for satisfying hunger on the go. Look for bars made with whole food ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, and minimal added sugars or artificial additives. These snacks provide a quick source of protein, fiber, and energy to keep you fueled between meals or during busy days.

Hard-Boiled Eggs: Hard-boiled eggs are a protein-packed snack that’s easy to prepare and transport. They’re rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious and satisfying option for snacking between meals. Pair them with whole grain crackers or sliced veggies for a balanced snack that keeps you feeling full and energized.

Vegetable Sticks and Dip: Cut-up vegetables, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, and cucumbers, paired with hummus, guacamole, or Greek yogurt dip, make for a crunchy and satisfying snack that’s rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Pack them in a small container or zip-top bag for an easy and nutritious snack to enjoy at work, school, or on the go.

Frozen Yogurt Bites: Freeze small portions of Greek yogurt with your favorite fruit, such as berries or sliced bananas, to create frozen yogurt bites that are perfect for snacking. These bite-sized treats are refreshing, creamy, and packed with protein and probiotics, making them a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream or frozen desserts.

Homemade Energy Balls: Make your energy balls using a combination of rolled oats, nut butter, honey, or maple syrup, and mix-ins such as dried fruits, nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and refrigerate until firm. These homemade energy balls are a nutritious and delicious snack that’s perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and providing a quick energy boost.

Conclusion

In conclusion, healthy snacks are a delicious and convenient way to nourish your body and mind, providing essential nutrients to fuel your busy lifestyle. From fresh fruits and vegetables to nuts, seeds, yogurt, and whole grains, the options for nutritious snacks are endless. By choosing nutrient-dense snacks and incorporating them into your daily routine, you can support your overall health and well-being while satisfying cravings and staying energized throughout the day. So go ahead, and indulge in a delicious and nutritious snack – your body will thank you for it!

[dick-chugger]

You've infected me with a desire to watch a show from the 70's that I've always actively avoided because my racist great uncle likes it. What have you done to me?

How queer actually is it? Will I be able to bare the laugh track or is it Big Bang Theory level bad? Help. I am afflicted.

First thing: I've only seen a few clips with the laugh track and it's horrible. Probably wouldn't be able to watch the show with it. But it's available without it on DVDs and at least one pirating site (ehich is where I'm watching from). I can send a link in DMs if someone asks me to.

I've only seen like 1 season so I'm not an expert, but like if you ask me it's really queer, especially for a sitcom from the 70s.

I can't remember if you follow me for IASIP but if you do, I think it's pretty similar queer rep. Like there are many jokes about homosexuality in general, but most of the time it doesn't feel like queer people are the butt of the joke. A lot of the show is the main characters hating war and being subversive of the manly culture to either get away or to just annoy shitty people. There are a lot of scenes of the main character flirting with his male friends and making jokes about being bi (and also about getting pegged and getting pregnant) so I think it's pretty safe to say that he's queer. And from what I've seen every single male chaarcter has flirted back with Hawkeye so that's fun. Also without the laugh track one major character crossdressing doesn't feel like a joke, despite the fact that with the laugh track it pretty obviously is supposed to be. So if you can, watch it without the laugh track, you should.

There are also more serious episodes about things like racism, homophobia and the horrors of war (obviously). In general the show feels way more progressive and less mean-spirites than any 2000s sitcom I've watched.

I'd say the worst part is that there are some really shitty jokes directed towards women, and some pretty bad rape jokes. (The worst one so far is in the episode Bananas, Crackers and Nuts.)

This is really disorganised but yeah. I recommend it 👍

Wellness Wednesday:

Doubts Creepin' In

Couple of weeks ago I said I wanted to "finish strong" - I wanted to weigh the lowest I've ever weighed on my last weigh-in, I have a few unwritten goals that I want to surpass, and I want to skate into the New Year flawless on my diet.

Well,

I have become extremely snacky recently. I am still eating "clean" but the portions are getting out of control.

The recent Snack Attack obviously hasn't helped my weightloss progress

And...

I got a Family Holiday Dinner coming around corner just before my penultimate weigh-in and I don't know if I can resist all the side dishes... especially since I will be deprived of my most coveted Holiday Elixirs - I'm talking about the Three Wise-Men of Winter Goodness:

Cranberry Punch,

Eggnog,

and Hot Chocolate

Hot Damn, I will miss thee three.

Lastly - I absolutely cannot stand working out/exercising at the moment. Every work has been completed begrudgingly.

The Good:

The Bad:

Had small "kink" in my morning routine that sent me to the doctor. Hopefully, it's just a one-and-done type thing.

8 Energizing Health Snacks For $5

         

You could switch these up in order to enjoy a couple different snacks each day, while spending a total of under $50 for the week. I'll get right to it! 

1. Roasted nuts:

Nuts are high in protein, healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants, and have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

2. Cheese and crackers:

Whole-grain crackers provide fiber, while cheese is a good source of calcium and protein, which can help build and maintain strong bones.

3. Smoothies:

Smoothies made with fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can help boost immunity and reduce inflammation in the body.

4. Energy balls:

Energy balls made with oats, nut butter, and honey provide a quick source of energy, while also delivering fiber and protein to keep you feeling full and satisfied.

5. Rice cakes with avocado:

Avocado is a good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, as well as fiber and potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure.

6. Fresh fruit: Eating a variety of fresh fruits can provide a range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can help protect against chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

7. Dark chocolate:

Dark chocolate contains flavanols, which have been shown to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure, as well as antioxidants that can help protect against cell damage.

8. Roasted vegetables:

Roasting vegetables can help retain their nutrients, and provides fiber, vitamins, and minerals that can help reduce inflammation and support overall health.

Remember to choose snacks that align with your specific dietary needs and preferences, and to incorporate a variety of foods to ensure a well-balanced diet.

[MEME] Thousand yard stare in north pole war

Description: Degenerates in power (Dictators, Ringleaders, Domestic abusers, Trrorists, Extremists, Nzis, Criminals and more villains) where constantly given coal by Santa because of their evil. Degenerates swept the coals under rug and demanded their back up gifts to present themselves as height of decent being and their evils are worth it. The next time Santa sabotage their back up to prevent cheating chrismas. Because of it has triggered degenerates to united each other into axis gang to thier revenge on Santa by declaring war on North pole. The gang will get what they wanted by force. They ruined the festivity and causing enviromental damage on endangered melting polar but the festive spirit refuse to be conquered and broken. The Nut crackers are not just cracking normal nuts but the name has differance meaning: crack oppoment's scr*tum in war (LOL), okay that's funny castration pun but actually crackling nuts with guns, bomb and missles.

Journal: Here a Chrismas artwork on the gallery but however this is scrapped and heavy delayed from 2023. Started in December in 2023 as side project while working on my another scrapped and cancelled werereindeer sequel artwork. The reason for both cancelled scrapped unfinshed project is overwhelmed.

I didn't expect this artowork to be finished quickly despite i was overwhelm last year ago.

Why chrismas version thousand yard stare? Isn't the month is festive and jolly? At the time i notice the nut crackers are soldiers based on historic militant uniform in pre-victorian era, the ones with sheko hat. This gave me idea to make a military parody with the meme: The thousand yard stare.

I also relies in chrismas day during war theres is the Chrismas truce day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce

Nutrition Tips for Busy Lifestyles: How to Stay Healthy on the Go

Staying in shape particularly through observing proper eating habits in the current society can be a real mirage. This is because between work obligations, children, work, and other functions and events, nutrition becomes the weakest link. But it is mandatory to have proper nutrition in order to be active, focused, and healthy all day long. The good news? If you know how to plan ahead and what strategies you are willing and able to implement, eating healthfully is not a pipe dream.

Here, find easily applied, realistic guidelines for eating effectively in this fast-paced world – using the short, more-effective Nuttier, Not Bigger approach.

1. Plan Ahead for Success

Planning is the key to follow healthy eating regardless of the degree of the schedule tightness. Your time, money, and sanity will all be saved if you take the time to plan your meals for the next week.

Actionable Tips:

Meal Prep: Spend one day per week in preparing large portions of food to eat during the rest of the week. Prepare meals in large quantites and pack in portion control containers to just grab and eat.

Stock Up on Essentials: Ensure you have stored shelf rich foods such as whole grain, canned beans, frozen fruits and vegetables, and proteins that do not spoil easily.

Use a Meal Planner: Capturing your plan either through apps or using a simple notebook you will outline what you are going to eat each day. This means that you have to effectively avoid making unhealthy choices at the last minute.

2. Prioritize Protein and Fiber

Protein which is a bodybuilder and fiber which aids in enabling one to be full to the demise of the day is a nutrient of the day. The most valuable when it comes to preventing one from taking unhealthy foods is those that address hunger pangs.

Protein-Rich Ideas:

Hard-boiled eggs

Greek yogurt

Nuts and seeds

Grilled chicken or tofu

Fiber-Packed Foods:

Cabbage, apples, black and red berries, oranges and more.

Food crops like Broccoli, Carrots and spinach.

Complex carbohydrates such as whole grains of wheat, corn and rice as well as fruits such as bananas and oranges.

Now, matching protein to fiber in your meals and snacks can reduce the difference in the demerged feeling to nearly nil.

3. Learning to love smoothies Love your smoothie; With all its types, fruits and veggies.

When time is an issue then it is made easy when you have made a smoothie. They are easy to prepare, can be easily carried around and you can add whatever you want in terms of flavor and nutrition values.

Build a Balanced Smoothie:

Base: Almond milk, yogurt or water can be used as a base for this smoothie without any additional sweetener.

Protein: You can also add Protein powder, Greek yogurt, and Nut butter.

Fiber: Such as a fruit, green vegetables or oat products.

Healthy Fats: Introduce chia seeds, flaxseeds or avocado in to the recipe.

Organize the ingredients into smoothie bags with specifications to make preparation much easier and faster if desired.

4. Choose Smart Snacks

It’s not wrong to snack but the types and kinds of snacks matters a lot. Are you craving for chips or candy, try to grab something with vitamins and minerals.

Healthy Snack Ideas:

Mixed nuts with seeds and fruits hardened in a sac

Veggie sticks with hummus

String cheese and whole grain crackers

Fresh fruit as a diet coupled with a handful of almonds

It is necessary to keep a distance from other unhealthy choices by having proper foods like fresh fruits, raw nuts, yogurts and water within an arm stretch at work, in your car and your handbag. See this

The 5 Worst Foods For Your Fitness Goals (And The Science Behind Why) 📝

➡️ You’re putting in the work at the gym but still not seeing the results you expect. Sometimes, it’s not just about your workouts. Nutrition plays a bigger role than you think. Here are 5 foods that could be holding you back and the science behind why they’re bad for your fitness goals.

1️⃣ Sugary Drinks (Soda, Sweetened Coffees, and Sports Drinks)

➡️ Sugary drinks might seem harmless, but they’re full of empty calories. They spike your blood sugar, causing an insulin surge followed by a crash. This leaves you feeling tired and craving more sugar, making it hard to stick to your goals.

💡Switch out sugary drinks for water or herbal tea. Add lemon or fresh berries for flavor without the sugar spikes.

2️⃣ Processed Snacks (Chips, Crackers, and Cookies)

➡️ Processed snacks are convenient but loaded with refined carbs, unhealthy fats, and lots of sodium. These ingredients cause quick blood sugar rises followed by crashes, leaving you sluggish and wanting more junk.

💡Swap chips and cookies for whole-food snacks like nuts, fresh fruit, or homemade protein bites. They’re nutrient-dense, keep you full longer, and support your energy levels.

3️⃣ White Bread and Refined Grains

➡️ White bread and refined grains are stripped of fiber, meaning they digest quickly and cause rapid blood sugar spikes. They provide quick energy, but you’ll be hungry again soon, which can lead to overeating.

💡Choose whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or whole-grain bread. They release energy more slowly, keeping you fuller longer and helping you avoid cravings.

4️⃣ Deep-Fried Foods (Fries, Fried Chicken, and Doughnuts)

➡️ Deep-fried foods are loaded with unhealthy trans fats and excess calories, which are directly linked to weight gain and increased risk of heart disease. They also take longer to digest, making you feel sluggish instead of energized.

💡Switch to baked or air-fried versions of your favorite fried foods. You’ll still enjoy the crunch without the excess unhealthy fats.

5️⃣ Sugary Breakfast Cereals

➡️ Most breakfast cereals are marketed as healthy, but they’re often packed with added sugars. This leads to an energy crash mid-morning, setting you up for more cravings and unhealthy snacking throughout the day.

💡Opt for oatmeal with fresh fruit and a sprinkle of chia seeds. It’s nutrient-dense, keeps you full, and provides steady energy without the sugar crash.

➡️ It’s not just about spending hours at the gym. Your nutrition matters. Avoiding these foods and making smarter swaps can have a huge impact on your energy, recovery, and overall progress. Start small, make these changes, and watch your results grow.

The first dessert I plan to make is inspired by Shelly's Pumpkin Dump Cake, https://cookiesandcups.com/pumpkin-dump-cake/. I believe this pumpkin dump cake offers a delightful twist on the traditional pumpkin pie. Fall has sprung, and so has everyone's love for pumpkins. The stores are stocked with everything pumpkin. Personally, I love pumpkins and pumpkin foods! Dump cakes are perfect for new and less experienced bakers like myself. They require little technique and preparation time, and the ingredients are also relatively easy to obtain.

For this recipe, you'll need pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, light brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, yellow cake mix, melted butter, coarsely crushed graham crackers, or chopped pecans if you prefer nuts, and optionally, toffee bits for added sweetness in the topping. For specific quantities refer to the link to the recipe. When I make this recipe, I will be opting to use spice cake instead of traditional yellow cake mix. The other alternative I will also utilize is adding toffee bits. For the cooking instructions refer to the link to the recipe

Once made you can serve the cake warm, or at room temperature. When I bake this dessert I will present the cake with ice cream, or other topics added. I am looking forward to trying this recipe, as I believe it will be a phenomenal sweet treat for the fall season.
