I recently started tracking what I was eating for nutrition/weight loss purposes and realized I should be eating way more protein. I've tried protein powders in the past (a lot of online recipes for oats recommend adding protein powder) and hate how strongly they are flavored. I saw a lot of diy protein powder recipes have a base of dry milk powder which I already had in my cupboard, so I just use that. It's fine with the same amount of liquid.

You could just use normal milk instead of milk powder + water, but this was lower calorie and never goes bad.

My current go to for the past few years is oatmeal. I mix oats, dry milk powder, frozen cherries, and water. Then I throw it in the microwave for a few minutes to cook. Once it's done, I add cinnamon and a handful of chocolate chips and mix it all together. It's probably not the most healthy option, but it's tasty and reasonably nutritious.

Honestly, dating apps have always weirded me out so I never used them. I've only dated people I met in real life; which, as an introvert, means I haven't dated many people at all. I'd rather quality over quantity. Every date I've been on has lead to a LTR, because we already knew we had chemistry before our first date.

I met my spouse through work. I know lots of people recommend not dating people from your job, and it can be risky, but it worked for us. Of course, my parents have been married for over 40 years and also met at their job, so I guess maybe it's genetic.

As for what keeps us together? It's just easy. We like being around each other and work well together, despite our many differences. Life's better with them in it.

This is not an issue for me. I swipe back and it returns to where I left.
