This is a fantastic cookbook that set me on a road to cooking healthy. It has a lot of good recipes (though it does have ones with ingredients that don't exist anymore, like Emme's "Kosher" Gel), and also has information about meal planning and other stuff, too. Really, really good book!

I've recently discovered cucumber kimchi....it's amazing. I won't touch regular kimchi with a 10 ft pole, but cucumber kimchi is delicious! (I'm also a picky eater, but I've gotten better over the years.)

One of the best purchases I have made in a long time is a countertop dishwasher that doesn't require water hookup. You just fill the tank with the included water jug and off you go.

Dishes were a huge point of contention in my house, because I didn't like how my bf did the dishes but also couldn't muster the executive function to do them myself, and would get understandably upset when I'd complain about his dishwashing while I washed exactly zero dishes. Eventually, he started feeling really demoralized about there always being more! dirty! dishes! and even his neurotypical ass had a hard time doing them.

So I bought him a countertop dishwasher for Christmas. I'm actually better about loading and unloading it than I ever was with a full-size dishwasher, which I attribute both to it being small soon it doesn't feel like a big chore to load/unload it, and to it being right at eye height on the counter so it's not as out-of-sight, out-of-mind. Our dishes are now cleaned to my satisfaction, we both contribute to keeping the kitchen tidy, and my bf only has to wash the big pots and pans, which he doesn't mind doing and don't take very long. Huge win all around.

Get an under sink water filter like this (I've had two from that particular brand and I love them).

It makes your tap water taste great. Like, I'm not kidding, it's a Brita you never need to worry about refilling, or cleaning. And it's not a permanent install if you're in a rental. I didn't even bother asking my landlord about it, and if you're remotely handy you can install it with a wrench.

If you want cold water, get a 2 dollar glass pitcher from walmart or whatever and fill it when you remember to. Though at this point I just grab ice from the freezer and fill with tap water and it's good enough.

For the filter, I linked the chlorine based one, I think. Make sure that's the additive they add to water in your area. If you're on a well, there's filters for that, too.

I am talking literally 100% out of my ass here, but:

I find I'm a lot less picky about food if I'm some level of inebriated.

Now, I do want to clarify, I don't mean "you have to drink beer/vodka/whatever to eat healthy food", but I wonder, if you were to make yourself a small salad, drink something to get yourself drunk, and then try to eat the food, would it make it better, or worse? Could it possibly be a way to "train" yourself to be less sensitive?

For a more realistic suggestion, do you have a reasonable quality chef knife (I like this Victorinox one as an entry level knife), and a cutting board? If you do, you can dice vegetables in a ton of different ways. Paper thin squash cooked into a ratatouille tastes a lot different than just taking a bite of one. Hell, dicing your salad leaves into different shapes (lengthwise, so they're long, vs all over so the pieces are small like in coleslaw) will drastically affect the texture.

Oh, and pickling pretty drastically changes texture, too. You can obviously have pickles, but onions pickle well, and so do radishes, and even stuff like boiled eggs.

YO I have a great solution as someone who used to have the same problem. Get a BIG water bottle. They make them with handles. You only have to fill it like once a day and if you drink most/all of it you’ve drank enough water. Something like this. if you just search for giant water bottle with handle you’ll see lots of options. It’s also hard to lose because it’s huge. Mine is I think 96oz, so slightly smaller than the one I linked.

I have a 5 gallon jug of water in my office at work, and 2 at home with these on them https://www.amazon.com/Water-Dispenser-Gallon-Pump-Black/dp/B08H4WMK37/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=2877SIJ6LGCSX&keywords=5+gallon+water+dispenser&qid=1649606368&sprefix=5+gallon%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-6

Bruschetta.

I have one of these manual chopper devices that makes life easier.

Throw in some tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, balsamic and a spoon of Costco pesto paste. Salt if needed.

Have with toast/baguette/bread.
