If you have a lot of dietary restrictions and/or perpetually low spoons that interfere with cooking, then I can't overstate the return on your investment from figuring what spices and seasonings you can eat, and keeping them on hand.

Physical and mental health issues, let alone in combination, can feel like they're consigning us to a depressing, monotonous experience of the same unexciting foods over and over and over again. But giving yourself the tools to be creative, with very little actual effort — just a shake of a shaker — is actually a lifesaver in terms of preserving the joy you get out of eating.

Rehydrated mashed potatoes from the box are usually the platonic ideal of "meh," but if you just put some garlic powder, rosemary, and/or [spice of your choice] on them, they're suddenly a tasty treat. On the other hand, you can sprinkle some cinnamon on fruit, if that makes eating fruit easier — you can even do so after you directly take a bite out of an apple or peach or pear, if you're not able to cut it up.

The same goes for applesauce, instant oatmeal, and the like — you can always kick it up a notch if it's getting monotonous. If by some coincidence, you're exactly like me and you're allergic to every snack food sold in the universe except plain old depressing rice cereal, microwave that bitch with some oil, salt, garlic, and paprika. It's like 10% more effort than the last few things in this post but so worth it.

Anyways, I bring this up now because I remembered a conversation I had with a friend about spices (and spice racks) being a great things to ask for as a gift, whether over the holidays or otherwise — and especially if you can't think of anything else. As long as it's not a super expensive brand, a couple small jars are in a pretty reasonable price range for gifts, and they can go a long way.

Salt, garlic, rosemary, paprika, cinnamon, and allspice are my mainstays. (Just beware allium or nightshade allergies and similar, if applicable.) It takes experimentation to figure out what you like and what works for you, but it's worth it to make those depression meals a little bit less depressing.

#i am not a competent chef the way that i'm a competent baker #but i made something pretty good out of boxed mashed potatoes today :)#the realization that i need not be an expert to go off-script from instructions and from pre-packaged stuff has been so freeing #it's kind of like... when i feel like i have so little choice in some areas of my diet #then why not experiment as much as possible in the areas and allow myself every miniscule luxury i feel like?#why not pull out that garlic?

#white sauces. cheese. all seafood. cheesecake. avocados. mashed potatoes. liver. coffee (not a food but can’t drink it). guava. brussel spro #uts. ranch. tofu. celery. egg plant. raisins. olives. onions. beets. zucchini. turkey. radishes. spinach. mayonnaise. coconuts. pineapple. p #eas. dark chocolate. watermelon. sweet potatoes. many soups. certain garlic bread (if it’s creamy i’ll puke. if dry i’ll eat). cabbage. brow #n bread. béchamel. mac and cheese. buttered toast. (butter makes me SICK can’t stand it). red grapes… but sometimes she’s ok.

I don't think there's anything wrong with making a series for middle class home chefs with nice kitchens and disposable income who want to cook better...but I do think it's a little shitty to pretend that's not what you're doing.

Like I'm sorry if your "basic" meatloaf recipe calls for ground beef, pork, AND veal I think you've gone beyond what can reasonably be called basic.

#I live in a big city and I could not even find veal when I made that meatloaf #and you know what ngl the recipe kinda sucked! I'm going to have to make a few changes next time I make it!!#and the best part of the meal was the onion gravy I made legit legit with just a yellow onion #some store brand beef broth #and I think garlic? and then half and half #and the mashed potatoes that were literally just two russet potatoes and some butter and half and half #so like......hmmmm idk man #sometimes things that are complicated and fancy....are worse
