What was up with this guy in my dad's yearbook?

Healthy food is great and all but it will never provide the same glee that 31 year old me had as I made the easy Mac I bought for myself for lunch.

Spoonies, get you some Green Onions!

You can buy a single bunch for like 50 cents from the grocery store.

Save about 1 inch of white above the roots and you can regrow them. Wrap in a damp paper towel and stick in a cup for a few days (I just leave mine on the counter. Honestly dont know if dark or light is better for this step, but it doesn't seem to matter too much).

Once the roots have gotten a little longer and you see new growth on top, stick in a glass of water and put on a sunny windowsill. You can plant them in soil when you have the spoons and they will grow bigger and better, but they do perfectly fine in just water. Ive had mine for several months in an empty soup can. They're a little sad but they're still fine. And, you don't have to beat yourself up if they die because they were literally only 50 cents and you can always try again.

Now, what to do with them?

So many things!

Green onions add such a nice little kick of flavor to so many things, and they are easy to prepare with little to no spoons. Snip off a stalk at the green part, rinse with water, and cut up. You can cut them with a knife or kitchen scissors or even tear them with your hands if you have no clean utensils (been there, done that) although definitely try to pinch and twist if you are removing from the plant with your hands (this reduces the trauma to the plant so it grows back better).

I add them to most low spoon meals like canned soups and chillis, ramen, and even easy mac. That little bit of fresh, crunchy green can help lift my mood a little, and makes a meal feel more elevated and complete even when it's just cup noodles. Having a fresh green makes me feel healthier too. Of course they can also be used in more elaborate, spoon-heavy meals, especially Asian cuisine, but they're just a great staple to keep on hand.

Oh! Last thing, they do taste better when you add them at the end as a garnish, AFTER you've heated up/cooked the food!
