#but yea good jammie jams

[oatmealdaydreams]

Not my usual post, BUT.

Wilbur Soot's new album, Mammalian Sighing Reflex?

Mm, yeah. Depression Winter for the win, folks.

I listened to the album around the time it got released, or at least leaked onto YT (before I saw people talking about it). And goddamn, is it fuckin delicious music.

Brainrot hits so well that I haven't stopped listening to the album since I first heard it. That entire album is going on my "Broken Record" playlist (aka: The Songs I Always Repeat Due to Brainrot).

Usually don't post about topics like Wilbur and his music stuff, but felt the need to say something. Good ass music. Fuels my angst writer brain.

Hello!!! 😃

For the TMNT Anniversary questions I wanna ask; 3, 7 and 27!

Thanks, and have a great day!! 😊

Hi HI! Sorry this took so long! Thank you for asking! I hope you have a wonderful day too!

3. What was your first impression of [TMNT Iteration]

I'm gonnna assume bayverse but my first impression was actually that it was really cool! I know it gets a lot of hate but honestly I've heard random hate for each iteration and I think most of the hate for bayvesrse comes from people shocked that people find these turtles attractive. Idk you know how I feel all turtles are good turtles but yea when I meet people irl and they trash bayverse I judge them lol. I love the characters and I wish we had gotten more movies like we did with transformers.

7. which iteration is your favorite?

hmmm bayverse are my forever turtles but I also really like 2003 and the 90s movies! (read: Yorshie cannot pick. it is the "pick your favorite turtle all over again")

27. what is something you love to see in TMNT fics?

I LOVE to see the turtles getting to be soft and caref for and loved. Even if it's not romantic, I just want them to have acceptance and to be able to trust others and to have peace. That's my jammy jam.

if You Feel, by Allie

FIND ME. - Oh yea this beat is nice.  I’m jamming right now.  I didn’t know what to expect because I have never heard of this artist but this is an amazing start. 9/10

Something Changed - This song isn’t a “jam” per say… I am in a jammy mood but I do like it and I like the lyrics.  It’s very vibey. 7/10

All Our Time (feat. Jae Stephens) - This kind of reminds me of Boyz II Men.  I knew it reminded me of something.  The girl is good too… I don’t know her.  6.5/10

So Much More - This guy has a very nice voice.  I don’t think he uses any autotune. Wow I am impressed.  Oh this is a good song.  It gets you in the feels. 7/10

want/need - Interlude?? Why is it so short?  This song reminded me of the Jesus is King album.  Like the beginning of it. 7/10

SURF (feat. Masego) - Hmmm don’t like this one as much as the others.  It is just okay.  I like it but probably not enough to listen to it again. 6/10

Protect - Man I thought this album was going to be full of jams.  How did it start out sooo strong… I understand it’s R&B but like that first song was different. 5/10

Bon Iverre - Hmmm getting sleepy.  I’m not a huge R&B gal. Also thought it was Bon Iver? Liked the little guitar solo at the end. 5/10

More Than Less - Another eh song.  It’s good but its just getting boring for me. 5/10

Lil’ Healer (feat. Quinn Barlow) - Ughhhhhhhh just no.  Not for me.  4/10

Like I Feel (feat. Mereba) - I guess this is where the title of the album comes from.  The girl makes it better.  6/10

if You Feel by Xavier Omar - 6.1/10

No-Cook Suppers: Enjoy Real Food the Easy Way

Don’t feel like cooking tonight? No problem. You can skip that kitchen task and still eat real, good food on a budget with these no-cook suppers. No take-out or reservations required.

The Ploughman’s Lunch

Fancy dinners are to people in the 2000’s what restaurants were to people in the ’80s. Ahem.

I just might have borrowed a phrase from one of the best movies to watch on repeat during the 90’s. You’ll forgive my poetic license as I make the point:

You don’t have to cook every night.

Now, I am not saying that you should eat out or get take-out or buy convenience food items with ingredients you can’t pronounce.

That’s not usually good cheap eats.

However, I will propose the idea that you don’t have to cook every night. You can still eat real food easily and affordably without getting all hot and bothered in the kitchen.

— You don’t have to cook every night. Just eat real food. – Chef Thierry Rautureau, as quoted in The Kitchen Counter Cooking School

Years ago, reading that book was a huge boost to my cooking mojo. Its emphasis on cooking at home and focusing on the basics, yea, even what was already in the pantry, was a great reminder that good meals don’t need to be complicated. Chef Thierry’s comment was so simple, but oh-so-helpful, I had to make a note of it.

The chef in question — a FRENCH chef, mind you —  had been explaining how some nights after a long day of work, he just wants some good bread and jam and a cup of hot cocoa, what I imagine to be the french equivalent of “Breakfast for Supper”.

Petit Dejeuner

A light bulb went on! It made so much sense!

We don’t need to abandon ourselves to fast food or meals from a box, simple no-cook “meals” can be just as good and filling as a four-course feast. Just make sure you’re eating real food!

Easy No-Cook Suppers

Here are some easy no-cook suppers to pull together when you just don’t have it in you to cook. No take-out or reservations required.

For the sake of ease, I’m only listing non-recipe, no-cook suppers. If you’d like some specific recipes head here.

Make a snacky lunch or dinner.

Snacky meals are some of my favorites. They require very little prep on my part, but everyone in my family can enjoy real food goodness without my breaking a sweat. In fact, everyone is so happy with this option, that I even serve it on Christmas, New Year’s, and most Sundays. It can be dressed up or down so easily, it’s top on my list for no-cook suppers.

Consider these combinations of snack dinners:

Hummus, flat bread, and crudite veggies

Hard-cooked eggs, fresh fruit, and whole-grain rolls

Apple slices, almonds, cheese, fresh baked bread

Sliced cheese and meats, crackers, and in-season fruit

Rice cake or whole grain bread with nut or seed butter, sliced fruit, and a glass of milk

Yogurt Berry Parfait

Mix up favorite fruits and dairy.

While you might often consider fruit and dairy as a breakfast option, these combinations can pinch hit as no-cook suppers. I’ve lost count of how many people have told me they had a smoothie and popcorn for dinner. It’s a thing, people.

Obviously, if you don’t do dairy, you aren’t going to load up on cottage cheese and yogurt, however, you get the gist that fresh, seasonal fruit with some add-ons can make a great meal.

Cottage cheese, cut-up melon, whole wheat toast

Yogurt, granola, fresh berries

Smoothie bowl with add-ons

Fruit and vegetable smoothie, made with yogurt or protein powder

the aforementioned bread and butter with jam and cocoa – works for me!

Black Bean Taco Salad

Make a salad.

Salads are simple, cool, and delicious. You can easily assemble them with pre-chopped and pre-cooked ingredients, or take a few minutes to chop your own veg.

Consider these tasty combinations:

Salad of sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic. Add baguette slices to sop up the juices.

Drained tuna or salmon tossed with mayonnaise, chopped celery and fresh dill, crackers, fresh fruit

Mixed greens topped with chopped salsa vegetables, a can of black beans, and some shredded cheese

Baby spinach with nuts, fruit, and cheese for toppings

Chicken Caesar Baguette

Grab a rotisserie chicken.

The rotisserie chicken is God’s gift to harried home cooks. Most grocery stores and club stores sell them for about the same price as the uncooked chicken. Grab a couple birds and make any of the following combinations with the tasty meat:

Chicken salad, crackers, fresh fruit

Chicken salad sandwiches with veggie dippers

Taco salad with chicken, chips and salsa

Chicken and vegetable wrap, with hummus

Cold roast chicken, side salads, and seasonal fruit

Make a sandwich.

Sandwiches combine the best of all worlds. You can combine a variety of different items, even caesar salad, and tuck it into a baguette or between two slices of bread. Consider these combos:

Ham and swiss on rye bread

Turkey and cheddar on whole wheat bread

Roast beef and provolone on sourdough bread

Egg salad on white bread

Hard cooked eggs and vegetables in a baguette

No-cook suppers can be delicious, simple, filling meals that don’t break the bank. Whether it’s the heat of summer when lighter meals are preferred or the dead of winter when you’d rather cozy up with that jammy bread and cocoa, these no-cook suppers are all good old, healthy, real food.

Take it easy some night this week with a night off cooking.

What’s your favorite no-cook supper?
