Hello lovelies! Everything is a lot lately, but we’re here to cheer you on and let you know that we are here with you. You are beautiful, you are loved, and you matter.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
I think the hardest part about switching is finding the time, energy, and ingredients that suit your pallette and your dietary needs. It kind of requires some clarifying questions if that’s ok? I wouldn’t mind digging up some recipes/options to try if you’re up for it, since there’s so many out there.
Clarifying questions
Are you specifically wanting to start with snack-y foods? Can you have bulgur wheat or is that off the menu? Also, how are you with spice levels/any ingredients that you usually avoid because you just don’t like them? Do you have access to a fridge/place to cook the items or do you need recipes with minimal effort and tools required? Do you like sauces/dips and are there any ones (like soy sauce, for example) that you want/need to avoid? One of my favorite snacks is just plain popcorn with random seasoning or a chickpea spread that I flavor different ways. If you’re looking for a more umami/protein flavor there’s ways to do savory oats and oat bars. Any nut allergies or anything? I can DM you some recipes if you’d like, just let me know.
Thank you so much love and of course you can ask questions!
I have a wide variety of dishes for dinner or lunch time, but I’m very specifically looking for snacks without carbohydrates that are gluten free. As for spices/ingredients that I don’t like, I think the only one I don’t enjoy is ginger. I have full access to a kitchen, bulgur I can’t eat and a lot of sauces I’d have to make myself since they’re not available gluten free where I live. But that’s something I’m happy to do. I also have plenty of time to try out new dishes, so don’t concern yourself with prep time. And no, no nut allergies whatsoever. Popcorn is a good idea, however it’s heavy on carbohydrates and especially for snacks, I’d like to avoid it mostly :)
