Oat Silk. Surprisingly OK. A splash or two doesn’t ruin a cup of coffee and it mixes and cooks with oatmeal better than cows milk IMO.
Love this stuff. Peanut butter doesn’t need sugar added, actually tastes better without it. Off putting oil rises to the top but just stir that shit back in before you take a scoop.
This stuff is fucking disgusting. Maybe it’s an acquired taste but I’d rather just do without.
Morning Star crumbles. Jury still out on this one. I think I might need to sauté it longer than the directions say? Idk
This stuff is great! Prepare it with the recommended skillet directions and you’ve got some badass crispy facon in 6 minutes.
This stuff is my new favorite thing. I’d trade this for sour cream if I was still eating like shit everyday. It’s so good that it wouldn’t surprise me if they get in trouble for lying about what’s in it.
Doggo tax. My bitch Bailey right before adoption. Y’all have healthy shit that tastes good?? Edit: This stuff isn’t all I eat guys. Of course tons of fruit and veggies is part of my new diet as well. You guys are like a fucking broken record with that shit.
Hikaru4747
Just go fresh man. Veggies, fruit, nuts, fish, beans, brown rice, oats & only water. You can dress the water up by carbonating it with lime.
twoamartist
Shop the outer perimeter of the supermarket. Everything you need to eat healthy is there. Not in the frozen section or out of a box.
ughwhyjustwhy
You are on the right track. Kudos. I cut out most processed foods, dairy, and meat. Lost 60 lbs never felt fucking better. Do daily walks1/2
ughwhyjustwhy
But please eat mostly fruits, veggies, nuts, beans, Fish here and there. Get Chobani Oatmilk. Non gmo and no pesticides on the oats. PROUD!
Potts
Morningstar black bean burgers are the best. Try those.
geoffreyfourmyle
But be careful of the sodium. Those things are loaded with salt.
damnskippy5016
Harvest snaps!! Best damn snack ever.
redditmcredditface
check the packaging on oatmilk, its very likely filled with sugar.
twintigpuppies
Unsweetened soy/oat/almond/cashew/whatever are usually right beside the sweetened ones
spacestationnumberfive
Sweet oat titties.
WaterWaiter
Be super careful with "no sugar added". Recently cut processed sugar and they'll SAY no sugar added but then have it in the ingredients c>
WaterWaiter
WaterWaiter
Oh and look up recipes for chia seed pudding. I love that with berries and a banana in it. It's a very tasty treat.
Ukkosenjumala
Oat milk is da shizzle. Tastes better in coffee too than cow milk imo.
spacestationnumberfive
Who knew oats had such sweet, sweet titties.
DaNylz
I think eating healthy means not to eat such loads of preprocessed food. Stick with veggies, nuts, lentils and wholemeal bread.
ScorneontheCob
If you need more leafy greens try chucking some spinach in when you make pasta sauce or stew or casserole. It wilts down to almost nothing
ScorneontheCob
and if you can be bothered to chop it you won’t even notice it’s there. Some places also sell it frozen in pre-chopped pellets
IAmTheFarmer
Spinach is gross. Baby greens or turnip greens are my favorite
ScorneontheCob
I used to think spinach was gross, but I like it now. I even put it in my burritos instead of lettuce.
spidermanisprettyneat
hm, kale? toss it in a fruity smoothie and you can barely taste it. or, make kale chips! you could also do a salad if that’s more your thing
Ambitiousnobody
Roasting (drizzle w/olive oil + whatever spices you like and cook ~400°F for 25ish minutes) is my favorite way to cook vegetables.Sweet(1/2)
Ambitiousnobody
(2/2) Potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and different typees of squash are all good cooked that way!
ThisGuyFawkes
Cashew milk is also good. You’re right, the dairy free cheese is disgusting. Highly recommend homemade black been burritos.
ThoseWeidmanns
If they’re doing low FODMAP, beans of all kinds are a huge no unfortunately
McSkeevely
Morning star chickie nugs!! I'm a carnivore and i still would never turn down a plate of those
andwings2go
That’s the kinda advice I’m looking for. Do you dip them in anything?
McSkeevely
I like mixing ketchup, mustard, and either tapatio or sriracha. Bbq sauce is also good
McSkeevely
When you're on the go or craving fast food (if you're a fatass like me), burger kings impossible whopper is really good, and the whopper is
McSkeevely
my favorite fast food burger. The impossible version won't quite win a blind taste test, but if I'll still occasionally order it instead
CatatonicCowMoo
Quorn meatless filets (fake chicken) are really good! Not the cheese ones, just regular. I make chicken sandwiches with them. Delish!
doggetofftheqcekmty
Make the healthy stuff easier to eat. Buy grapes and immediately de-stem them. Keep berries, baby carrots, etc. in easy access in the fridge
geoffreyfourmyle
Wash and dry the grapes, then put them in little sandwich baggies, then freeze them overnight. Frozen seedless grapes are like candy. If
geoffreyfourmyle
you don't dry them though, you get a bunch of frozen droplets stuck to them, which is meh.
whatsisname
TBF eating grapes is basically like eating skittles, they are full of sugar.
doggetofftheqcekmty
Who told you that? A minute on Google proved that's total BS.
Assetspelledbackwards
The crumbles are nasty imo. Try morningstar farm grillers original. You can crumble them up yourself and it's so much better!!
Assetspelledbackwards
Quorn products are really good too. Been a vegetarian for 30 years. DM me if you have any questions. :)
HorriblyPositive
Was about to say, I won't touch Morning Star crumbles, but Qourn are solid. Especially with taco sauce.
indiehedgehog
I like the gardein crumbles in pasta sauce
Moonmoon409
Yeah, I prefer the beyond version or even Boca over the mostar crumbles! Solid sub for anyplace you'd use ground turkey or beef.
doombabies
I once wrote a review of a daiya frozen pizza so scathing they gave me a shit ton of coupons for free shit. Threw them directly in the trash
tlm26071
I find daiya cheese pizza to be one of the better alternatives to other vegan pizzas. Then again, ive never had regular pizza. And 1/2
tlm26071
There arent a lot of vegan pizza options where im at. I like to add goat cheese to them.
IlluminaBlade
Why are you eating fake pizza and putting real cheese on it?
tlm26071
Allergic to cows milk but not goats milk.
doggetofftheqcekmty
Well now I want to read the review!
Steelwind
I'm confused is #3 made from shredded cutting boards? Also 100% agree on the peanut butter. No need for adds to that, just peanuts.
crazyfishlady
Shredded cutting boards would probably taste better.
tlm26071
Its made from coconut. Cutting boards is considered "fancier" or better than the regular shreds.
thefuzziestofbutts
@op there's an Imgurian cookbook discord if you'd like to join us! Lots of great advice you can get there. https://discord.gg/QsskWWv
DoomFather
Don’t know if anyone suggested storing your PB upside down. Gets rid of the oil stirring.
pdbogen
Soyrizo is great! And I love oatmilk.
LuminoZero
I usually prefer almond, but yeah, it's better than I thought.
erischilde
I still like my milk for certain things, but with Oats it's damn Skippy nutmilks (can't get over the name) are tasty af.
bdogamus
+1 for soyrizo. Which isn’t Spanish for “I am rizo” btw.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Same way soy milk is just regular milk introducing itself.
bdogamus
andwings2go
Frieda’s? It doesn’t look like the word is trademarked.
satonist
No Evil has some great fauxrizo and a bunch of other awesome meat alternatives
pdbogen
I haven't had that specific one, I just grab whatever the store has. Trader Joe's has a good one, I know. But Safeway or w/e is good too.
CargoManshark
Came here to say that. Soyrizo is better than some chorizos I've had.
Foxhack
The seasoning makes the chorizo, not the meat. Sadly most American chorizo brands I've tried are... badly seasoned. :(
DocHarriers
#2 I will never forget seeing my father in law on his knees using a fork held in a drill to re-mix the Costco size separated peanut butter.
kruulik
Start eating real veggies and not “replacement” things. Try cooking with 5 raw ingredients or less per meal.
AlexanderReave
5 or less? Zero is less than 5. That can't help all that much
kruulik
You do have to eat though… just don’t eat processed food. Make your own meals from simple raw ingredients.
birencall
Store your natural peanut butter jar upside down, keeps the oil moving.
Miller16of16
I pour it off when first open and just deal with it being thicker than the usual.
doyoucopy
Just stir it in with a hand mixer!
Miller16of16
No way! "You do it once, you'll have to do it every time" and I prefer to get my extra fats in form of Amish butter...
jollyjack
You wanna eat healthy: ditch the processed foods (which, excluding doggo, is EVERYTHING you posted) and cook from scratch.
davethebiker
We do plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Similar flavor and texture. Mixed into stuff you can't tell.
Jonnythetrout
We do that too and make our own yogurt at home. It's really easy too! Just need a gallon of milk, 3 cups of powdered milk, and 1 cup of(1/2)
Jonnythetrout
starter yogurt (you can use leftover of what you just made). It does have to sit in your oven (or other warm place) for 24 hours, though.2/2
NaughtButOne
Was looking for this. I switched out sour cream for greek yogurt ... 6 years ago? Haven't found a recipe yet that it can't be swapped for.
kikisdeliveryservice
Me too!
kakari
Also try different brands, some start tangier than others.
Fighttheshower
Same, and low fat if you wanna be a bit healthier ?
McSkeevely
Low fat yogurt isnt necessarily healthier, a lot of the time they just replace the fat with sugar
Fighttheshower
Exactly - I meant only unflavoured ones like greek yoghurt or skyr (Icelandic).
welcometothedarkside
If you are eating the flavored ones. Unflavored ones are healthy.
welcometothedarkside
Leave it on the counter overnight and Greek yogurt will get more sour and tastes like sourcream.
NicolasKevinMac
All the folks saying to avoid processed foods and cook fresh are not wrong. But it's okay to ease into things, and slowly break the (1/2)
NicolasKevinMac
connection in your mind that you need meat and cheese to feel satisfied. One step at a time is fine, as long as you make steady progress.
stonecoldpuma
I agree. Sometimes people who aren't used to eating healthy foods, need to be eased into that direction. It looks like they're eliminating..
stonecoldpuma
Dairy and probably red meat. This will probably be a process for this person.
andwings2go
Yes. It’s about reducing inflammation that causes me constant pain. No dairy, no red meat.
stonecoldpuma
I figured ☺️ try Gardein products. I haven't tried any of their soups, but most of their frozen products are pretty good.
tripleAatyourservice
In terms of vegan cheese - check out Violife. Daiya brand is straight up plastic and it’s awful
orngenblak
It melts into vegan burritos and the like okay. By itself unmelted: pretty bad.
proudsnax
Kite hill cream cheese is the shiz
SpookyPillows
Also even better, if you don't have nut allergies, cashew and almond cheeses are amazing. I prefer them to dairy cheese.
PotatoDreams4eva
Hey j just wanted to say I'm a junk food vegan and in my opinion violife is the absolute worst cheese brand! Sheese is the best x
flyingnetherlander
I second this motion.
SteveO
i like daiya, use it for quesadillas, tacos, wraps, nachos, fake eggs, pizza and whatnot
ConflictsOfInterestAreInteresting
I second this. And I eat normal cheese. I use this when I'm cooking for my vegan friend and this is actually really solid
xHeroOfTimexx
Yeah daiya is awful, violife is def the best I’ve tried
AnythingMuchShorter
The cheese flavor tastes like cheeto powder rather than real cheese
glitterdemon
Miyoko’s Creamery is actually good
indiehedgehog
The miyokos mozzarella on pizza is so yummy when cooked right! Mmmmm
salviecakes
Miyoko’s Creamery is actually yummy!
DancingOnTheEl
I HATE how daiya the default for all the pizza places to go vegan. It's just awful, the smell alone makes me gag. Cashew-based all the way.
andwings2go
Plastic is spot on.
ahzelton
Vevan shreds are really good. I think Good Planet or Good Life is another yummy brand. Daiya hasn't been good for me
CatatonicCowMoo
I really liked Chao slices
HoneyBunchesOfOatMilk
Yes! The original and the garden herb are delicious. I eat the slices plain, hard to find a good fake cheese to eat plain
MmmmmPapayas
I switched to goat cheese instead of cow cheese and have loved it. No more tummy troubles. But still not plant based.
MagpieChristine
There's some kinds of cow's milk that you can probably digest too. I can now get "a2" brand for less than goat's milk, and can digest it too
johnnieborgie
Daiya sounds like “daya” a word in Tagalog which roughly translates to cheat/hoodwink.
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
crazyfishlady
I'm being forcibly moved away from dairy, and I can only tolerate the Daiya cheese with chili. If I can taste it, it's awful.
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
Boil potato, carrots and onions until soft. Blend with nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder, salt and chili. Better than real 1/2
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
cheese sauce and I'm not even vegan. Healthy too, no fat or sugar. Gotta blend it super smooth though. 2/2
combatwombat0
How much of everything?
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
Plenty of recipes on the net. Experiment a bit and find out the best ratio for you.
ThoseWeidmanns
Dairy free, gluten free, low FODMAP?
ditetraconta
Thank science I’m not the only person who had to do FODMAP. Damn fructans in wheat don’t mix well with my gut.
ThoseWeidmanns
Look to Asian cuisine for recipe ideas, they’re easier to modify when many dishes are dairy/gluten free to start with.
RuffleMyFluffles
Imo alternatives aren't always healthier. Eat more veggies instead.
ShittyMcFartPoop
Why did the doc recommend this and what exactly? @op
PlasmaSquirrel
I wake up every morning at sunrise to milk the teet of my oats
Eleshar24
OtterGoodTimes3000
Absolutely! Lots of Vegan alternatives are actually very high in sodium for examples. Fat-free = high sugar often too
Corrodias
What do you think half of these are made of?
RuffleMyFluffles
But a ton of other things are added to make it closer to meat. Burger alternatives for example are higher in calories and fat.
Sumpte
Really depends on the burger. Most are lower in fat (especially saturated), but usually slightly lower protein and higher carbs.
Gremlynn4023
looks like a lot of legumes (closer to bean than veggie) and grain.
GreySeasAbound
Also as processed products they may have lost some of the fibers or vitamins which makes eating the actual plant healthier.
erischilde
We learned this cleaning up our diet. Make your own stuff instead. Even if it's "fatty" you can control the ingredients. Replacement /1
erischilde
Isn't necessary when you change your view: I'm not replacing (meat for eg), I'm making dishes with veggies. There's millions of recipes /2
erischilde
From around the world for almost any selection. Instead of missing what you can't eat, explore what you can! /3
HandoB4Javert
Eleshar24
Good point - I read that peanut butter is no more healthy than regular butter, just different type of fat. What IS healthy though, 1/2
Eleshar24
is using BOTH regular and peanut butter interchangeably, this way you keep good doses of either fat type. 2/2
Talligan
Lmao yeah, came to say that. Make your own burgers with lean beef, salad on the side. Lentil soup. Chickpea curry. Sub out butter for evoo
Talligan
Who downvotes food suggestions?
xHeroOfTimexx
Unless @OP’s problem is cholesterol then the vegan options are going to be helpful
Talligan
I'm not sure I understand your point. Mine was that there are plenty of great tasting, cheap food options
xHeroOfTimexx
Lean beef will still have cholesterol, so if they have a problem with cholesterol vegan is a good option
Talligan
Dietary cholesterol doesn't really impact blood cholesterol iirc
ProfessorPritt
Also something like an avocado or an egg are healthy in moderation. I suggest focusing on one food type at a time such as grains or veggies
Eleshar24
AFAIK you should not really focus on one type of food, but rather strive for rich and balanced diet.
sawasdeekap
I agree. I’m guessing healthier, but not healthy.
SwarthyBastard
I was gonna say - I eat fake meat because I'm vegetarian, but I don't consider it to be health food. Much better to focus on eating 1/2
SwarthyBastard
unprocessed stuff, though this stuff is fine, too.
TurnThisShpAround
andwings2go
Well yea. I’m eating as much veggies as I can handle. These products are about still trying to enjoy food
sweetnaivety
grass-fed beef/lamb, raw grass-fed dairy, wild-caught fish, fresh organic fruits are all amazing foods that are healthier for you.
sweetnaivety
all that processed vegan junk isn't going to do anything for you, stick to whole unprocessed foods and ditch the grains.
thegreatwhiteblackartblackestmaster
As a vegan, Daiya tastes like fucking shit If you really need to scratch your cheese itch go with Miyoko's. Also just avoid "cheddar" shreds
thegreatwhiteblackartblackestmaster
I have yet to find any vegan cheddar shreds worth buying after years of searching. Follow Your Heart = crap. Violife = meh.

Ratatouille (https://www.food.com/recipe/ratatouille-285558) with a side of crusty buttered bread.

knickerblogger
I have a friend that brags about not eating sugar, then talks about all the juice they drink. Sometimes things that sound healthier aren't.
wombatmcgee
My stepson tries to get us to let him eat sweet things by saying, "but it's a natural sugar!" Being natural doesn't make it healthy, kid.
MaeylaRush
Long time vegetarian here. My best tip for sticking to the healthy diet is to make sure you’re getting more complete protein chains. >>
MaeylaRush
>> such as wheat + nuts. Or rice + lentils. Having more complete protein in your diet can really help. :)
iidosee
seriously important when cutting out meat protein if you go the veggie route!
NoUseYourName9000
The cheese works in quesadillas, eggs, white version works on pizza. texture/flavor for someone who hasn't had cheese in years
Wharrgarrble
One thing you need Ras El Hanout spice blend you'll put that shit on Everything
Redisia
I learned how to cook with veggies tastes better at this point thene anything i used to cook :D
AtypicalMammal
But these products don't seem like they necessarily have fewer calories and such. They just seem like vegan stuff.
NutellaElephant
That oatmilk is pretty sugary but we don’t know what OP is going for. So it might be meeting his or her needs. Same for other products.
thejuanrodriguez
Bro you might as fucking well
Fighttheshower
Sliced pumpkin (no need to peel) tossed in a bit of oil and with your fav spices (mix it up). Roast in oven and add some feta/fresh basil

I understood this to be a review of *products * who wants to see a review of broccoli... Nothing new there
bububub2
Look out for salt, that's the real killer. As for cheese- personally I find it better to just go without, I've never had a good fake cheese
THUMPSDV8S
Modern Times Brewery does an all vegan menu. Not sure where they get it, but their coconut cheese is the best tasting approximation ever.
bububub2
I'll have to give it a try!
kyorsmuckers
Same been vegan for like 12 years I rarely use any substitutes.
bububub2
Some substitutes can help hit the spot I've found, but yeah, most of the time you gotta just change the diet completely.
Femail76
If youre doing anything calorie-wise watch out with peanut butters
stonoceno
Give some new cuisines a try, if you haven't yet! Lots of food offer flavorful healthy choices with veggies (https://www.196flavors.com/)
stonoceno
Wat (Ethiopian), egusi soup (central African), shakshuka (North African), namul (Korean), horta (Greek), phkali (Georgian), are great to try
Fighttheshower
My absolute favourite veggie cook book is “River cottage - veg every day”. It really helped me get creative with basic ingredients.
electrickettle
Good start! The good news is that once you start eating something, after some time you will start to crave it. And when you stop eating... 1
electrickettle
Something, after some time you won't miss it. It's because of the bacteria on your bowel. It will change. 2
dumptrucky
Grill vegetables and red meat/ fish. Tastes awesome every time.
GreySeasAbound
In my experience you will grow to enjoy the veggies and fruits. But you have to learn where to buy good ones, how to cook them, use spices..
GreySeasAbound
...and ultimately sticking with processed foods (even "healthier alternatives") might make the cravings for that sort of food last longer.
GreySeasAbound
I used to have a big sweet tooth and had to cut out candy and sugary treats entirely to learn to enjoy fruit. (not forever but for a while)
TheChandrian
Experiment with different preparations and seasonings for your veggies. Hopefully you’ll get to enjoying them just as much.
ChasePoppins
Lol. You need some help then. That stuff is garbage. If you want I can send some meal ideas.
meowlion19
Morning star products are AMAZING. Sausage patties, Buffalo chicken wings, corndogs. All great. Low on calories and cholesterol

Nah fellow earthling. Real, whole vegetables are where the real good flavor is. Baking them can bring out or instill amazing flavors. I❤meat
Hardestpartisfindingausernamethatisnttaken2
As well as veggies
Hardestpartisfindingausernamethatisnttaken2
Let me add though, if you like it, eat it. Moderation is my key
Cloworora
Ruffles isn't actually helping; they're just posting their opinion as a lampshade to shame you for buying alternatives.
toewsy
I like to bake skinned beats whole, wrapped in tin foil. Bake till soft, slice into a bowl and salt that shit. Simple and tasty
etiger
If you roast them in individual tin foil packets with the skin on and a little bit of water, the skin wipes off with a papertowel. No peel.
ColdestOne
blairsette
Goat cheese sprinkled on those beets!
pigsearsandtwirlytails
I pickle beets, they're great as a snack or in salads. I use the leftover juice to then pickle eggs. Again good on their own or in a salad
catsandbeerandbeerandcats
Pickled beets are amazing. They are a staple at my grandma's house.
toewsy
Also baked brussel sprouts, with olive oil and your choice of seasonings. Just slice them in half and keep baking till they're crispy
toewsy
My gf is vegetarian so I dont eat as much meat as I used to, but I have found I dont crave meat much anymore, havent had bacon in ages
impostersyndrome
Drizzle some balsamic vinegar on them halfway through cooking. Both the beets and sprouts.
Dondarian
Came here to recommend the balsamic vinegar. Amazing!
andwings2go
I’m also supposed to be cutting my sodium intake as much as possible. I like beets though and will give a whirl. Thanks
theriogrande
Add a bunch of peeled garlic into the tin boil instead of salt :) delish
tlm26071
Im not the biggest fan of daiya cheese either. I perfer follow your heart. Sodium is hiding EVERYWHERR! I am also low sodium and dairy free.
Justtakealookatthis
Try it with a mix of 2 dl water 1 teaspoon vinegar 1 coffee spoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. Best thing on theworld!
missingdodo
A sprig of rosemary and a bit of garlic help with the less salt rule.
gregariouslouganis
Mrs dash makes low or no sodium mixes of seasonings that are good. Those are my favorite for veggie seasons of like steamed stuff.
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
I think it sounds good with or without the salt. Definitely still worth a try.
toewsy
Yea it's good without salt too, or just lightly salt, it doesn't take much

No offence, but everything you have presented is processed. Buy fresh stuff and cook for yourself, you will be Much better off.

If dairy is the problem then the dairy alts are good. Thoughts on bacon substitute vs high levels of nitrates in cured pork?

Just don't eat bacon. I dropped butter, coffee, alcohol, most fats because I couldn't handle them after glandular fever. 1/2

You get used to not having stuff. I am back in coffee after 10 yrs, but not the rest.

Was just curious as to how plant based but processed foods stack up, I don't typically eat bacon often myself.
PopeMegaForce
I stopped taking it seriously when he showed Skippy. Seriously, go with actual peanut butter and not peanut butter spread.
indiehedgehog
Maybe the issue was cholesterol, in which case this would help

For those of us who aren't cooks and don't want to spend hours every day cooking, that's just not going to fly.
TwoFlower68
Meal prep is your friend. It takes just as long to cook four times as much
Homosexualsaregay
Cooking a meal takes about 20-30 mins. You should only be spending hours if you're cooking up a feast
MoonlightStroke
Now now hold on. I cook all the time and I average an hour full process with dishes and cleaning. Sometimes you gotta pick your battles.
Corrodias
There's more that goes into it besides putting the prepared ingredients into a hot pan, though even that takes quite a while if you're not »
Corrodias
used to it. Besides that, there are shopping, learning how to prepare a dish, washing, and preparing the ingredients. Granted, a fried egg »
Corrodias
doesn't take much effort, but let's assume there's want for something a little fancier than that.
Corrodias
Also... I assume peanut butter and meat and milk substitutes weren't included in that, but still, how do you expect OP to make bacon?
GreySeasAbound
Of course peanut butter is processed. One can eat actual peanuts. As for plant based dairy alternatives they are of course also processed
GreySeasAbound
food and one can just eat, yknow, plants. This is NOT to say it can't be fine to eat those foods. Just they aren't particularly "healthy".
Noksus
If you need to fix up your diet, bacon is not part of that diet.
NickKater
Super easy from carrots eg. but also: bacon isn‘t part of what you would call a „good diet“ ?
TwoFlower68
It has nitrates and all of the PUFAs, so yeah.. just eat real meat. Pastured beef ftw
carpetdope
I'd suggest investing the time in practicing making good things quickly. In no time at all it shouldn't take hours.
carpetdope
This can also include dealing with the mess while you prepare. It's a skill, to be sure.
