Happy Neurodiversity Week!

There are many types of #neurodiversity and #ADHD is just one of them. A lot of times, an Instant Pot is a godsend for the easily distracted, whether that be adult caregivers to children who have the urge to draw a masterpiece all over the living room in lipstick, or a person whose brain is the child trying to draw a masterpiece all over the neural-living room with cognitive-lipstick. Which is why so many of my recipes are written for people with low working memory and cover meals that would be faster and, some might find, easier to prepare without the Instant Pot. And today is no exception. Today, I present: boxed macaroni and cheese.

Have you ever had colcannon? A St. Patrick's day favorite, colcannon is an Irish potato recipe. [source] At its most essential, the colcannon recipe is mashed potatoes mixed with chopped cabbage or kale. Other additions like bacon, ham, scallions or yellow onions are also common. [source]

Happy St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Christian, but due to the influence that my religion has had on St. Patrick's Day, I like to celebrate it in all of its green and delicious mealed glory. And now so can you!

Since we still haven't yet had the Lantern Festival, I've been craving the tastes of China and Taiwan which my partner cooks always (it is his food culture) but tonight is my night to cook and I know this is a totally Americanized dish, but I've been listening to Code Switch and they claim that it is completely authentic to adapt to new flavors from a Chinese lens, so I'm going with it.

Craving a lasagna but don't have access to an oven? This soup'll do ya! This recipe can be cooked in a crock pot/slow cooker instead of an Instant Pot if you cook the included lentils a different way. This recipe can be made vegan if you substitute vegan cheese for cow cheese.

IN SEASON ALERT! It is winter and that means citrus is in season so that means they are cheap and plentiful!

As a person with executive dysfunction, I loathe grating citrus zest. One of the substitutes I like to make is a powdered citrus peel. I make this from the peel of citrus fruits I was otherwise eating anyway, and simply reserve the peel for this extra process. This is a /r/NoScrapLeftBehind kind of #frugal winner.

It is very simple to make: raw (as in not boiled to otherwise cooked) citrus peel (including pith) dehydrated and then ground up in a spice grinder.
