tried a 15 min dinner idea off Instagram
DO NOT trust those instagram videos bro. It would’ve been great if it actually made the pasta cook. Just boil the noodles 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ (recipe consisted of Italian spices, spinach, whipping cream, tomato paste, cherry tomatoes and onions) submitted by /u/AwkwardPlankton3712 to r/DinnerIdeas [link] [comments]

Watch out, Millennials... I got hit with my first "I had NO IDEA!" data privacy moment this weekend... and it was all my fault.
My 20 year old kid came to the house for dinner this weekend, walked in, and said "You need to unplug your Echo device. I don't want amazon to listen to my conversation". So, I did... and then I was confidently incorrect in telling her that it waits for a wake word, and she has nothing to worry about. Boy was I wrong. She had me open my app, and look at saved conversations... and there were HUNDREDS of entries. And that was only over the last 2 weeks. I had NO IDEA that Amazon was collecting everything I say... and the worst part is my 20 year old looked at me like I looked at my grandparents back when they would post text messages or Google queries as Facebook statuses. My kid then showed me the article from Cnet or wherever from about 6 months ago that showed that Amazon was fully transparent that all data is now sent and analyzed whether or not the wake word is used. I'm proud to say there are no longer any Echoes in my house. Im a little bummed because all of my verbal "turn on the lights" and "lock the door" cues are all out the window, but Im really ashamed of the fact that at 41 years old I just didn't even think to look into it. Just had blind faith in a company that views me as a number. I'm pretty embarrassed. submitted by /u/AttachedHeartTheory to r/Millennials [link] [comments]

So my mother-in-law just informed me that I'm cooking Christmas dinner (for seven people). She cooks all the holiday meals, but threw her back out and can barely move. CAN YOU HOOK ME UP WITH A FUN/COOL/TASTY DINNER IDEA that doesn't require a grade-A chef to cook. No turkey or ham. Help me out!!
Like the title says, the normal holiday cook is injured and can't do it. Since Christmas dinner is at my house, I've apparently been nominated to make the dinner. I don't want to do turkey or ham. I'm an OK cook. Not a chef, but better than the average person. Do you have any suggestions for a fun and tasty dinner I can make that doesn't require eight hours of prep and cooking....but will leave everybody saying they enjoyed the food! My kids voted for pizza and nachos. But I'm hoping y'all can hook me up with something that I actually have to make. My in-laws are not "fancy" food type people Thanks in advance submitted by /u/ComfortableDear2205 to r/Cooking [link] [comments]

The idea that the sitting president of the USA could have Jeffrey Epstein attend Thanksgiving dinner in 2017, and not a single media outlet reported it for seven years, just proves how controlled everything really is.

What is your go-to ACTUALLY easy dinner?
I understand everyone has their own idea of what would be considered “easy”. I’m talking something that takes 5-10 minutes to put together, with a cook time less than an hour. For my family, this has consistently (realistically) been a frozen entree like chicken patties or Cordon Bleu with a pre-packaged side like Knor pasta/rice or canned veggies. Occasionally we will default on Hamburger Helpers and skillet dinners as well. I’m trying to steer us away from that stuff, but some nights no one wants to cook, so if anyone has super easy recipes for those kind of nights I’d really appreciate it! Also, a couple of us are picky eaters so I will try to take whatever suggestions you may have and tweak it a bit. Thanks in advanced! Edit: I just want to thank everyone once again for the enormous amount of helpful responses that have flooded in, my phone has been blowing up for hours! I started to take notes, but had to stop for the night and will come back tomorrow. You guys are all awesome, thanks for sharing! submitted by /u/Septemily to r/EatCheapAndHealthy [link] [comments]

The next time you tuck into a protein rich dinner, it may be a good idea to hold off on the sugary drinks. A new study published in BMC Nutrition found that a combination of sugar sweetened drinks and a protein rich meal decreases metabolic efficiency, which can lead to more fat being stored.
