Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Anything from soups to salads.
It being winter right now, I tend to make soups and chilis. In fact, my Wife made a big slow cooker full of chili. We ate that for 2 days and froze the leftovers, (chili freezes very well). A few days before that, I made chicken soup. In addition to the onions and celery, (for god's sake don't throw out the leaves! They taste more like celery than the stalks). I added a whole bag of frozen mixed vegetables and 2 small potatoes, (peeled and cubed and an awesome source of vitamins and soluble fiber), that needed to go. And for meat, all I needed was 2 chicken thighs cut up into spoon sized pieces. Vegetable curries are awesome. Stir fries are easy, cheap, and fast. (If you don't own a wok, get you a carbon steel wok. Next to a good cast iron dutch oven, a wok is the most versatile cooking pot you can own). And don't forget root vegetables, rutabagas, parsnips, turnips, and beets. They not only can be tossed into soups, well maybe not the beets, but all of the are awesome roasted too. You can look up recipes online, but you really don't need a recipe for chicken soup. Just some basic spices and seasonings.
I will leave you with my recipe for oatmeal bread. And for god's sake, don't buy expensive oat flour from the store instead make your own in a blender in a minute or less from dirt cheap rolled oats. You want this quick bread 'rustic'.
Ingredients for Oatmeal Bread Recipe: 2 eggs. 150 g yogurt/5 oz. half a teaspoon of salt. 2 cups + 0.5 cups/275-280 grams of rolled oats. 9.8 oz. grind in a blender. 1 tbsp baking powder. Add any nuts and seeds to taste-- or not. Dealer's Choice
Grease you bread pan well. I use silicone bread pans now Bake in a preheated oven at 180C/360F for 25 minutes.
The yogurt can be either plain or a flavored yogurt. I like either yogurt with honey or vanilla myself. This make a stiff dough, so have a sturdy spoon.
Holy shit thank you! Interesting I never knew about the celery leaves but, but then again most recipes that call from celery it's being used with onion and carrot as a base. Again thank you for the extensive type up and the recipe!
