/ck/ - Food & Cooking

new to this board. hope it's not shit. anyway here's my question.

I have to put food on my family every night and I'm hella lazy and my mom hates almost everything that isn't bad for her. I want to eat real food. I want complex carbs, protein, fibre, low calories, low fat, etc.

do you guys have any ideas? I'm just sick of the situation but there's nothing I can do about it until I move out. I've tried giving her passionate ultimatums about changing the quality of food like a hundred times and she's still on about "muh everything's ok in moderation" and every great idea I have ("what about brown rice instead of cheese rice?") gets shot down ("you can make some for yourself but I hate brown rice").

the problem is, she's picky, and on top of that she has ideas about whether things are appropriate as "dinner food". pic related: celery, while healthy and good, is not "dinner food"; I'd have to do corn, or broccoli. Which is, needless to say, more work. Her next hangup is that there must always be three things on the plate. You can't have chicken and veggies; where's #3? that's when I have to add the cheesy rice, mashed potatoes, etc. The only time she doesn't have this philosophy is when we have pasta, or pizza, or macaroni and cheese. Then it's fine to only have one thing on your plate.

I don't even know what I'm asking for. Ideas, I guess. Should I just start grocery shopping myself and telling her that if I'm going to cook for everyone I'm in charge of what we're cooking?

I have acquired large quantities of parsley.

what to do with except for soffrito/trinity for bolognese or rice and beans?
(tried bolognese with soffrito for the first time today, and I loved it, so did other people who tried it)

Hey /ck/ i need a good recipe with celery, i mean a really good one, my brother needs to eat it but he is a cunt and keeps nagging about it

Celery (allergic to it).
