Looks interesting! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll save the comment so I can try it out someday.

That sounds great! I'll definitely try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ah, I'm not doing this because of money or anything. I'm just getting frustrated whenever I buy an onion for a recipe, and it goes squishy before I can actually cook the thing. If I can get rid of all the stuff like that from my diet, then I'll be happy.

Thanks for the homesteading suggestion, though. I'll keep that in mind when I'm searching for recipes online. That community might also have some nice tips for how to live like this.

That sounds interesting. What are some good pasta dishes that go with veggies? I'm just imagining putting broccoli in my Kraft Dinner water and laughing.

I guess that one garlic recipe from Italy might work. It would pare nicely with some of the more savoy vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes. The extra vitamins and flavor in the noodles would certainly be nice, and I'd get a nice side dish, too.

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I don't need specifics, though it's nice when they are given. I am mostly looking for ideas on what kinds of food would work.

I get what you mean, though. There's certainly a lot of options, and a recipe doesn't do me much good if it uses ingredients that I can't get.

I guess, "what's your favorite recipes that fit this theme?" Might have been a better question. I'm just frustrated that every recipe I find online has things like "fresh garlic" or "whole onion" or even worse "lemon zest" (what do you do with the rest of the lemon? There's not exactly many recipes that use it) so I have to find another that doesn't have anything "fresh" in it.

That sounds great! Thanks!

Thank you! That's so much useful info! I'm definitely saving this comment for later.

Yah, pasta is such a great dish. It lasts forever and you can use it in so many ways. Most of my diet is just variations on the typical "pasta with sauce" formula.

It seems pretty limiting from my perspective. Can't use milk or eggs or cheese, and most dipps don't freeze either. Can't use lettuce, most vegetables and fruit become tasteless as soon as their frozen, and bread can only be frozen once or twice before it becomes inedible, and it takes two full days to thaw each time.

Most of my diet is noodles of various kinds, soups, and frozen meals.

What would you suggest? Applebee's doesn't operate in my area, and I've never been to one. What kinds of food would work?

I hadn't thought of that, but that makes sense.

Those are some great suggestions, thanks!

Look into cloudflare tunnels or tailscale funnel. Both let the wider public access a private server without port forwarding. If you want it private only, normal tailscale does that too, you might have some trouble if you want to use a custom domain though, since it's private.
