Here's the most simplistic recipe from my personal collection:

Homemade Ketchup​

1 6 oz. can Unsalted, Unsweetened Tomato Paste

1 ½ tsps. Apple Cider Vinegar

¼ tsp. + 1/8 tsp. Onion Powder

¼ tsp. Garlic Powder or Garlic Granules

1/8 tsp. Ground Allspice

1/8 tsp. Black Pepper

1/16 tsp. (1 Pinch) Ground Cloves

1. Place the tomato paste in a small bowl. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, ground allspice, black pepper, and ground cloves.

2. Add the apple cider vinegar. Mix the ingredients with fork until thoroughly combined. Ketchup can be served immediately or chilled in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days.

Notes: Other types of vinegar like distilled white vinegar, white wine vinegar, or red wine vinegar can be substituted for apple cider vinegar.

SO INCREDIBLY yummy. I add (on the side) baked tofu and layer with arugula, quinoa and separate the ingredients in different cannisters (squash - separate) (corn, bean rosemary sage and thyme mix) (tofu) (quinoa) (arugula). Top with hulled sunflower seeds and a few dried cranberries. Yummy homemade dressing of cranberry preserves, balsamic or ACV, and olive oil). Super nutritious, I could never get sick of this.
3. https://bakerbynature.com/the-most-wonderful-vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies-ever/ (vegan choc chip cookies) the applesauce really makes them delicious. I freeze 1/2 the batch to pull out the week following. I might make some tonight
4.https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-carrot-cake-lemon-buttercream-frosting/ I use muffin cups, instead. Makes apx 12 depending on how much dough you eat, baked abt 25 mins)
5. https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-tom-yum-soup/ Vegan Tom Yum soup. So delicious. Extra lemongrass and lime for me, please. :)

When I can manage, it's fun and somewhat simple to experiment with homemade pizza! Pizza places often sell their dough if you ask, and grocery stores should have stuff in the freezer, and making your own from scratch is always a possibility! Then just go wild with toppings (I think my fave is roasted garlic, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and red onion.) Happy cooking!

@dustbiter Would you be interested in instructions on how to oven roast certain fruits and/or vegetables? Do you have a food processor or high-powered blender?

I just learned to use my dehydrater (instant pot). I needed black limes (it only took 24 hours and then I'd lost interest). I'm interested in all things cooking and will be beginning a new job for a small biz (office work) where they make a lot of homemade foods. I was going to make this: http://www.enterdragoness.com/2012/07/vegan-abgoosht-and-gondi-persian_12.html
the recipe required black limes, which I've saved. I will never dry a whole lime again, they sell them at specialty spice stores. They look like shrunken heads I've preserved in a glass jar.
I'd love some recipes. I love food and eat well when not down, miserable contemplating u-no.

I have issues with brain fog and concentration so a lot of recipes are inaccessible to me most days. The crossover between simple and beginner-friendly is pretty wide though!

Chicken, broccoli, and mushroom stir fry

Garlic chicken and potatoes

I come back to these two a lot and they seem to go over well. No kitchen wizardry required and the most 'unusual' ingredient here is probably sesame oil, which isn't very expensive and you can find it anywhere.

If you're not interested in baking, feel free to tell me to fuck off, but a lot of people find that it's easier to start out with than cooking. It's also a great way to get on peoples' good sides lol. It's just harder to dislike a person if they brought brownies with them or whatever. I'm especially fond of these two recipes since they're flexible while also being really pretty uwu

Apple cobbler (but really you can use just about any pome/drupe fruit)

Thumbprint cookies (but if you're not a jam/jelly person, they're still amazing plain)

I forgot to add this one: https://pinchofyum.com/anything-you-have-coconut-curry-soup (Good to use sweet potatoes, potatoes mix - blend with hand-mixer in pot) Smooth, yummy for coming "down" off of anxiety or whatever. Mock chicken is just as good, as a sub for tofu. Or meat.

Vanilla pound cake

I made it today, it's

It's better with sugar glaze: powdered sugar + melted butter + milk

 

[MeltedJello]

I make pancakes on weekends sometimes, so I'll share the recipe our fam uses.

---

1 cup flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1 pinch salt

1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract(optional I guess)

---

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and just cook some on a pan. This recipe only makes about 2-3 pancakes depending on your pan size, so you can just double or triple it.

Slow cookers are fun! You can mess around and find all sorts of fun with them.
