Sometimes I feel like I need to eat more veggies! Then I do this!

Sometimes I just crave a big pan of roasted vegetables. Even though meat is usually on the menu, there’s something about tossing together bell peppers, zucchini, onions, and carrots with olive oil, garlic, and smoked paprika. I’ll spread everything out on a baking sheet and roast it at 425°F until the edges start to caramelize. The aroma is wild. I’ve noticed the spices and veggies really do all the heavy lifting when it comes to flavor. Sometimes I’ll add chickpeas or tofu for a little extra texture, but honestly, the vegetables are the main event. If there’s leftover rice or quinoa in the fridge, I’ll mix it in at the end. #VegetarianCooking #VeggieMeals #FlavorfulFood #Food #Cooking

My Liver Cleanse Routine That Actually Helped

Last year, I felt sluggish and my skin was acting up—turns out, my liver needed some TLC. After some trial and error, here’s what worked for me: 💡 Start with a week of clean eating: Load up on leafy greens, citrus, garlic, and drink lots of water. Skip processed foods and sugary drinks. ✅ Morning grapefruit-olive oil drink: I blend a peeled grapefruit with a splash of extra virgin olive oil (and a little honey) every morning for 3 weeks. Tastes weird, but my energy shot up! 🔔 Cranberry detox day: Once a month, I make a big batch of diluted unsweetened cranberry juice with ginger, cinnamon, and citrus. Sip it all day—great for beating bloat. ⚠️ Apple cider vinegar: A teaspoon in warm water before meals helps my digestion (but go easy, it’s strong!). #LiverHealth #DetoxTips #WellnessJourney #Health #Wellness

🔥 My 10-Meal Rotation That Keeps Dinner Cheap, Easy & Delicious

You don’t need 50 recipes—just 10 good ones and a little sauce magic. I don’t reinvent the wheel every night—I keep a core rotation of 10 go-to meals and just mix them up. That’s the secret. 🍝 Pasta? Always cheap, always easy. Homemade sauce, DIY noodles if I’m feeling fancy. 🌮 Any protein can go in a taco—hard shell, soft shell, whatever’s on hand. 🥩 Steak night or chop night? Air fryer with grill setting + meat thermometer = perfect meat, no smoke. 🥔 Potatoes are my MVP: baked, fried, mashed, twice-baked, even pancakes. 🍛 Pasta with red, white, garlic butter sauces. Toss in whatever meat or veg is on sale. It’s all about using your pantry staples—seasonings, carbs, sauces—and building around whatever protein and produce is marked down. Good food, less stress, zero waste. 🙌 #BudgetCooking #SimpleMealsBigFlavor #FrugalFoodie #PantryWins #EasyDinnersEveryNight

Stop throwing away your marmot meat!

Seeing tons of hunters going after groundhogs lately but most are probably tossing the meat because it tastes like garbage. Trust me, I've been there. Here's how to actually make it taste decent: Critical prep steps: Remove ALL fat and glands (armpits, groin, tail base) - this is where that nasty smell comes from. Then brine it 12+ hours in water, vinegar, and salt. Some guys use milk instead. Cooking methods that work: Mountain stew style (my go-to "drunk marmot" recipe), confit, or mix minced marmot with pork for dumplings. What NOT to do: Don't grill it - turns into rubber you can't chew. Marmot needs way more attention than other game meat, but done right it's actually pretty good. Anyone else got cooking tips for these little guys? #hunting #marmothunting #wildgamecooking

Quick Way to Soften Butter for Baking

Ever forget to take your butter out of the fridge before baking? Here’s my go-to trick to soften it fast without melting it! Cut the cold butter into small cubes and spread them out on a plate. Fill a glass with hot water, let it sit for a minute, then dump the water out. Place the warm glass upside down over the butter cubes. Wait about 5 minutes—the butter will be perfectly soft and ready to use! This little hack saves me every time I want to whip up cookies or pancakes on a whim. Try it and thank me later! #kitchentip #dakotahdame #bakinghack #Food #Cooking

Sharing how I work, do chores, cook, and wipe my butt with long nails

A lot of you asked under my last post: how do you type with long nails? How do you clean? How do you wipe? First, work. I type with my finger pads—zero issues. My job doesn’t require me to hold a pen. Second, chores. I don’t do chores. Dishes? Dishwasher. Laundry? Washing machine. Floors? Robot vacuum. Cooking? Steak, sandwiches, and salads barely need nails. Third, wiping. Smart toilet, baby. Finally, those nail lengths aren’t even max—I’ve gone longer! Got cash? Rock any length you want. #NailArt #ManicureStyle #NailCareTips

Try These Simple Burger Seasoning Steps

Form your burger patties quickly and gently—don’t overwork the meat. Make a small indent in the center to keep them from puffing up. Right before grilling, sprinkle both sides with a generous amount of kosher salt. This step is crucial for flavor and texture—never mix salt into the raw meat or you’ll end up with tough burgers. Use dry seasonings only on the outside. A mix of black pepper, smoked paprika, and maybe a little garlic powder goes a long way. Hold your hand a few inches above the patty and let it rain down evenly. If you want to get creative, try your own seasoned salt or even a curry spice blend. Just don’t massage it in—keep handling to a minimum. After grilling, go wild with toppings and sauces. That’s where you can really customize the flavor without messing up the patty itself. #BurgerTips #SeasoningHacks #Grilling101 #Food #Cooking

My Mom’s Secret Vinaigrette recipe, the best in the world!

My default salad dressing is always my mom’s vinaigrette—olive oil, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. I eyeball the amounts, and when it hits the right balance, it’s tangy, salty, and just sharp enough. Sometimes, though, I end up with too much mustard or not enough vinegar, and it throws off the whole thing😂Dont follow this. It's absolutely the most tasty sauce in the world! Now I share it to all of you😊 #SaladDressing #Homemade Vinaigrette #Kitchen hacks #Sauce #Recipe #Food #Cooking

I Cut Carbs. I Still Gained 20 Pounds

I spent my forties terrified of bread. Rice was the enemy. Pasta made me spiral. Meanwhile, I was downing protein bars loaded with sugar. Snacking on "healthy" crackers that were basically cardboard and refined flour. Drinking fruit smoothies thinking I was being good. Twenty pounds crept on anyway. Turns out I was avoiding the wrong carbs. The apple I refused? That could have saved me 3.5 pounds over four years. The brown rice I swapped for cauliflower rice? Actually helps with weight control. I was so busy fearing carbs that I never learned which ones were actually working against me. The irony stings. All those years of white-knuckling past the bread aisle, while the real culprits sat in my pantry labeled as "healthy." #FoodGuilt #MiddleAgeSpread #CarbConfusion #Health #Diet
