Tired of same things

I’m getting bored with the things I’m eating. How do you spice things up a little? I feel like if I don’t make some changes soon, I’m going to fail.

I like to browse the produce section in the grocery store. When I see a fruit or a vegetable that looks interesting, I’ll buy it. Then, I’ll look up recipes that use that produce item. I’ve found some really unique and delicious recipes that way, and it keeps things fresh.

You can spice things up by spicing things up. Different salts and flavorings can give whatever you’re eating a boost so it isn’t the same old same old.

I’m going to go to the grocery store after work. There are many fruits that I know little about. I’ll do as you suggested, buy some and look for recipes. Wish me luck!!

Have fun at the store! Another idea is trying vegetarian things from other cultures. There is a Mexican-American place close to me that makes vegetarian tacos with potatoes and corn, and they use soyrizo in dishes (I haven’t tried them).

It’s been a while! Agree with WJean about trying items from other cuisines. One recommendation if you’re at a Vietnamese cafe is tofu bahn mi.

I can relate! Sometimes it’s hard to get out of a rut, especially when I’m tired from work and don’t have the mental energy to be adventurous in the kitchen. Have you ever tried one of those meal delivery kits from Hello Fresh or the Purple Carrot? They both have vegetarian meal subscription plans that are reasonably priced. Those are my go-to solutions when I’m feeling bored with my standard meals.
