I buy them frozen in Tesco's, microwave (frozen) for 4 minutes in a little water.

Bacon is fine, but chestnuts have sugar and carbs. Have walnuts instead.

Well you know type 1 diabeties, there's some flexibility there long as I take the right amount of insulin

I imagine there's an alternative instead of chestnuts though with no carbs, since walnuts would have that too.

I've taken to halving sprouts and roasting them with balsamic vinegar and orange rind.  Man, that's good.

Now, my mom cooked them the Midwestern way: if you can still count them, they're not done yet.  There were so many vegetables I didn't learn to love until I was an adult and tasting things cooked properly...

Cooking veggies and vitamin loss?

QuoteStill, high temperatures and long cooking times can degrade vitamins that are more sensitive to heat. While this is hard to avoid with soups, it is much less of a concern than leached and wasted vitamins.

If you're planning on preparing vegetables to eat alone, you may want to try steaming them briefly until they are crisp and tender.  It's almost always best to keep cooking times low: microwaving, steaming,

I buy my veggies frozen and cook them in the microwave or steam.
Less bulk, and less work with no loss of nutrients.

Except for cauliflowers where I steam and mash in the food processor instead of potatoes which are heavy on carbs. (diabetes, Keto diet.)

*sob* The best Japanese steakhouse here in town is closed; we were fortunate to get in on their very last seating, and I shall forever count that as one of the high points of my life, bean sprouts and all.  The chicken and scallops was as astounding as it ever was, and the owner came around at the end of the night pouring free champagne (on top of the Japanese martiniâ€"sake replacing the dry vermouth)... but almighty fuck, I wish they hadn't closed.  None of the other Japanese steakhouses in the area are as good.  They're good, but not as good.

Same here.  Best steakhouse here closes after owner retires after 37 years.  Sad.

tried the caramel one, it was alright, though tbh it felt like I could have had the same taste from that caramel syrup that use in coffee shops

might try the mint one later.
