Although Meghan Markle did his best with his Netflix series “With Love, Meghan”, many of his lifestyle hacks were a bit disconnected for the average consumer.
After all, who has time to build an entire ball bow in hand or spend time scrolling Yelp to find their own beekeeper to make his own candles?
Although some recipes, such as her “stove single spaghetti”, turned out to be more relatable, the fact that she did not get a single stain on her outfit shows how disconnected of mothers who work everywhere.
So, in the spirit of simplicity, here are some culinary hacks and serving that you can really use in your daily life without breaking the bank.

DIY your own layer cake with the help of Trader Joe’s
Have you ever been responsible for bringing a dessert to a party, only to realize that it is the day of and that you literally do not have time to cook? The Joe’s mini-leaf gâteau is the answer. It’s going around Tiktok at the moment, with everyone sharing a different idea about how to build their layer cake, but that’s how I do mine.
Just take two cakes and bring them home, reorganizing your kitchen table so that you have enough room to place the two cakes side by side. Spread the frosting on top until it covers the sides of a cake, then place the other cake on top, making sure to spread the frosting until it completely covers the cake.

After that, you can cover it with whatever you want: glitter, cookie strikers, chocolate chips, crushed nuts, etc. The point is to try to disguise unequal frosting if you are terrible like me. If you have the skills and the time of pipe the crisp roses decoratively on top of the cake, then by all means.
But for those who rush, stacking two -layer cakes on each other is a simple way to bring a cake to a party that does not shout: “I just stopped at the store on the way here to recover this.”
And, by the way, you don’t have to go to Trader Joe, although I like their gluten -free yellow cake. You can go to almost any grocery store to grasp the essentials, mainly two-layer cakes, sequins and perhaps an additional frosting, just in case things become messy.

You don’t need to be Meghan Markle to create a cool service tray
If you do not have Meghan Markle’s budget, it may be difficult to collect bowls and trays that are really affordable, given the quantity you really use.
Here is a cool DIY idea that will probably cost you less than ten dollars if you already have all the ingredients at hand. First of all, go to Dollar Tree and find a plate and a set of matching bowl that it won’t bother you on your kitchen counter. Now, I’m sure you think you can just put the bowl on the plate, throw away from it and we have finished. However, it’s a little more complicated.

Let’s say you want to serve a cake there. Instead, take the bowl and turn it backwards. Take a hot glue pistol and describe the edge of the bowl. Then place the plate on the bowl to make your own little DIY service tray which is good for cakes, cupcakes, waffles or simply a simple cheese spread.
It may not be the most fanciful thing in the world, but people seem to be seriously impressed by this hacking of service, which is quite cheap and practically does not require at all.

The quickest way to shred the chicken
If you are a fan of chicken salads, then you probably buy pre-root chicken that comes with a ton of preservatives or you do it yourself from zero. But if you have a stand mixer seated somewhere at the back of your Christmas cupboard, you don’t need to be a baker to use it.
Instead, cook your chicken – preferably the boneless and skinless chicken – and wait for it to cool but it is always hot. You can also use a mixture of thighs and breasts, but make sure that the skin is off so that you don’t get strange pieces in your food.
Put the Pagaie accessory on your mixer on the stand, then throw the chicken into the bowl. Set the speed to low and let the paddle do the work. It really shouldn’t take more than a minute if your chicken is quite hot. You might still have large remaining pieces in the bowl, which you can tear with bare hands just for fun.
And that’s it! Easy grated chicken that has taken less than a minute to shred. I saw this hack go big on Tiktok, with people using costco roast chickens with mixed results. It will certainly work, but you should be very careful to choose the loose pieces of skin and, more importantly, with bones. The crunch in your salad should come from grilled pepitas, not a chicken bone.

No nutritionist? No problem!

If you are Meghan Markle, you probably have a nutritionist who directs your figures and tell yourself how much you should eat. Unfortunately, most of us do not have a nutritionist on the speed dial and, if you are like me, you have not even covered by your health insurance plan. Fortunately, there are many macro-compactors that make you connect your numbers and spit the “good” amount of food you should eat. While each online calculator that I tried gave me different results, if you try to lose / maintain / gain weight, you have to start somewhere.
After getting my macros, I didn’t know where I had to start. What should I eat? So I went to Chatgpt to remove part of the conjecture. Simply go to Chatgpt and submit as fast: “Create a daily meal plan with 101 grams of carbohydrates, 127 grams of protein and 43 grams of fat.” Obviously, use your own numbers instead of mine!
He immediately returned with results for breakfast, a snack in the middle of the morning, a lunch, an afternoon snack, a dinner and an evening snack, with the ventilation of the macronutrient of each meal. To get a different result, I just told him to “create another daily meal plan” using the same information on macronutrient, and that gave me a whole new set of meal ideas!

Obviously, some of this information will not be 100%correct. For example, he told me to make a protein shake for an evening snack, but the macros that it gave me for their lactrum protein shake do not line up with the one I have in my pantry in my pantry. Impossible to stomach whey? There are many vegan options on the market, but macros will also be different.
You can also ask Chatgpt to filter your options according to food preferences and allergies, such as gluten or vegan. It also works for the Keto or Carnivore diet diet, which involves eating low to carbohydrates. It will not be perfect, but for people who are looking for someone to tell them what and when to eat is very useful.
And, for the really concerned about health, you can also ask Chatgpt to create an exercise plan for you by entering the part of the body on which you want to work, such as biceps and triceps. If you lack ideas, with Chatgpt, the sky is the limit!

Meghan Markle had a good idea in his Netflix series

In addition to her spaghetti dinner to a skillet, Meghan Markle had the good idea with the “Sun Tea” that she shows in episode four. Explaining how she did it when she was a child with her mother, she has “tea in the sun” by simply throwing a tea sachet in a mason pot full of water and letting him sit in the sun outside.
Although it will probably not work in winter, it seems to be a soft treat if you live in southern California. It is very easy to succeed and seems much more fun than simply pour tea into a kettle.
Although “with love, Meghan” has failed to impress criticism, the program has already been renewed for a second season, leaving a lot to hope that the recipes and the kitchen hacks that it shares will be much more earth-to-earth.
Now, if you apologize, I’m going to see how long it takes me to In fact Build a ball bow in hand.
