Recent change in life circumstances, and now I’m trying to figure out how to be an adult about food. I want to focus on eating healthy. I have very little foundational knowledge, so I need ELI5-level content. I’d love some online resources that I could use to learn. In-person classes are not a great fit. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Here’s my favorite go-to recipe:

    ~5lbs chicken breast, some taco seasoning, some fresh salsa

    Throw it in a slow cooker in the morning and shred it in the afternoon.

    Eat it over rice (one of those 90 second packets if you don’t feel like boiling water)

    Over tortilla chips for some nachos (with sour cream, beans, rice, whatever you have)

    Or in a tortilla with whatever you have.

      Salsa chicken! My girlfriend loves that.

      If you’re going to do slow cooking, I suggest making the most of it by getting cuts of meat with bones, to make a broth that enhances the flavor and nutrition. Thighs are good, or a couple of bone-in breasts.
