Prickly
Assistant Cook
Hello!
Thank you for taking your time to read this!
I'm trying to better my health, especially after missing quite a lot of work due to illness and one method I deemed best was to cut my sodium intake. I've eaten quite a lot of ramen (as it's cheap and easy) and I believe it has become a possible reason as to why I've fallen so horribly sick in the past. (After looking at all that I've eaten, I noticed pretty much everything had high sodium and I've never really had these kinds of problems before.)
I noticed there were discussions already about this topic, but many recommended dishes that I'd probably never eat, or wouldn't even know where to begin to shop, let alone, how to cook some of the things they recommended. (I've never cooked squash, for example.)
The biggest problem I'm facing, however, is financial. I'm on a low budget (think close to $50 for two weeks, which is why Ramen had become such a go to) so it's difficult to find recipes, or meals that are healthy, but also won't break my bank. I've searched several sites, but most recipes call for a lot of components that, for one meal, is just too costly.
Any and all tips and recommendations is highly appreciated!
I sadly don't have a taste for any seafood (I've tried several times to like fish/shrimp/etc, but just can't. Tuna is fine and some of the low fishy taste can be okay depending how it's seasoned).
I can't stand cooked cauliflower, or broccoli. Raw is perfectly fine though. Brussel sprouts and asparagus I've found repulsive and, for some reason, I can't find a way to like mushrooms. Kale and seaweed are a hard no.
Hopefully that isn't too picky... I try to keep an open mind on food and I'm the type of guy who'd try anything at least once.
Again, any help is much appreciated and I thank you for your time!
Best regards!
Oliver
