Joy And Pain Cooking My name is Joy & I am a hothead. I love spicy food, both cooking & consuming. This is the place to keep up with what I'm cooking.

I cook healthy, spicy food from many cuisines & cultures for various markets & festivals. I'm available to vend at parties, for catering, & gourmet camping meals, as well as cooking individual meals, cupcakes, & birthday cakes upon request. Not everything has to be spicy, even if that is my specialty. ;)

I'm pretty good at recreating recipes so if you've tasted something somewhere & can't figure

out what makes it so good, I might be able help with that. I love challenges & new ideas so if there's something you've been intimidated by, let me know. Maybe I'll attempt it & post the results here.

Every time I see "guilt" or "sin" associated with
food I roll my eyes so hard I'm worried they're
going to get stuck.
"5 Super Bowl Snacks you Don't Have to Feel
Guilty About!" Dear God Brenda just eat the
nachos. They're special, they make you happy,
and some nachos for the Super Bowl are not
going to make or break anything.
By all means, make the lettuce wraps too, but
do so because they're healthy and yummy,
maybe they align with your goals better. But
guilt and shame and sin shouldn't never be
associated with food. It is not healthy. It should
not be normalized.

Food does not have morality. Food does not
change your worth as a person.

Getting to & from the grocery store without a car is the biggest hassle I've faced. I wish I could start a charity not to give away food, but to get people to where it is being given away & where they can use their food stamps.

Please remember your friends without cars when you make trips to the store & ask them if they'd like to come along or need anything.

Also, my cheapest food tip that does fit here is making a large batch of something you can eat repeatedly once a week. This is how I started cooking- I'd make chili or another kind of soup or stew for myself. These can be made very affordably or with better quality ingredients when/if you have a little more to spend. Don't forget to freeze half if you only feed yourself. I make them extra healthy with more veggies- frozen are good for this purpose, require no prep, are frozen during the peak season, & can be cheaper than fresh. This is especially true if you forget about fresh veggies & throw them away.

Nothing costs more than wasted food in terms of the resources used to grow it & make it into an edible product, the energy to package it & get it to the store, & the people who go hungry when we have food to feed everyone being tossed in the garbage daily.

Not everyone has time to prep meals or money to buy Instant Pots.
