For starters, I present femininely because that’s just my base model (afab) and I’m quite literally too poor and too busy working to do all of the modifications I want on my body. I also find the convenience of looking cis does help me get through my tougher work days.

While I appreciate those who know of my identity using the proper pronouns to refer to me, it stings just a tiny bit every time I get misgendered. I get it. I just ‘don’t look the part.’

It feels like I’m at an impasse but I do want to put in the work to look the way I want to. I just need some time and a good mindset to get things started. I just want my body to feel mine again.

Baked potatoes topped with crumble and a cheesy white sauce, baked beans (fresh from the microwave), and baked asparagus. This was my second attempt baking potatoes and asparagus and I loved it!

Chunky everything because I was too lazy to dice lol

Made the potato-carrot mac and cheese sauce, tofu-egg salad, homemade chickwheat deli slices. Quick assembly! Already shared this with the Discord crowd lol

Handmade noodles and tofu veggie wontons. Took me too much time but it was worth it! Broth had peanut butter, sesame oil, and soy sauce.

Edit: Here are the recipes I got each soup item from:

1. Noodles - only used the noodle recipe
2. Broth - added and subtracted items because I didn’t have all the ingredients from the recipe
3. Wonton filling - I used the filling recipe for this one. If you don’t have time for making your own wrappers, wontons are fine too. I recommend a pastry brush to help apply the water on the edges for sealing.

~50 wontons took me 3-4 hours to make. The noodles takes 2.5 hours and the broth takes about 5 minutes of prep.

Made the burgers from cooked and blended soy chunks. Made the mung egg too.

edit: changed the name
