This is a general interest discussion community for women. Women can discuss most topics here. Rants, raves, interesting links, career advice, relationship advice, hobbies, interests, chit chat, pet pics, as long as you're a woman and it's not disallowed below it's all free to go here.
Our goal is to provide a friendly and supportive space for the women of Ovarit. This circle is not a "safe space," but it is and will always be a female-only space. This means if you are not female, you will be banned.
This circle is not for general politics or election topics - arguments about politics do not fit within this circle’s mission. This is not a debate circle.
Before posting, please check the list below of other women-only circles to make sure there isn't a community that is dedicated to the topic. Also, please use the feminist circles for feminist topics, such as /o/WomensLiberation and /o/GenderCritical. Posts about male violence belong in /o/NameTheProblem. This circle is not for news about violence.
If any part of your text / link post is about trans, post it to o/GenderCritical. Trans related image posts go in o/TransLogic or o/Radfemmery.
If you post about trans topics in o/Women your post may be locked and / or deleted. We cannot move posts around.
This is a friendly and supportive community for general topics which are not contentious. Posts which start arguments, or which devolve into arguments in the comments, are extremely likely to be removed. This is a friendly and supportive general chat community, not a debate or argument board.
Examples of topics which belong here:
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here. Thank you for reporting rule violations.
If you are having a mental health or medical emergency, we unfortunately cannot help you. Please call a crisis helpline or use another qualified service.
Personal fundraisers are not allowed.
Do not post rants about other users.
Advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups are only allowed to be posted by users who are level 7 or above and have been on the site for more than six months. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!

/o/Fitness: a women-only community to talk about personal fitness
/o/Lesbians: a lesbian-only community

My dad always made mac & cheese and baked beans when we were kids. My own children hate it, but man. There’s something about the mix of the boxed cheese powder sauce and the baked bean sauce, with some extra brown sugar, that just makes me happy. Also, noodles and beans make a complete protein!
The thing my mom made that I loved was chip beef gravy, also known as shit on a shingle. When I moved away, whenever we visited my mom would ask what I wanted as a treat meal and it was chip beef gravy (white sauce with dried, cut up beef over Pillsbury flaky biscuits) and LeSeur peas. Another thing my family hates. My husband does make really terrific sausage gravy and homemade biscuits, so there’s that.
A Midwest classic meal is chicken noodles. It’s generally best at the local church annual supper. Handmade noodles, cooked in a savory sauce with pieces of chicken. I make a crockpot/InstantPot version with cream of chicken soup thinned out with some stock and I add some frozen peas and carrots to make it seem a little healthy and a bag of thick Reames frozen noodles. This is ALWAYS served over mashed potatoes because double carbs are love.
My family does like this, although my husband resists eating it over mashed potatoes. I will sometimes make a quick and easy version for myself by using those packages mashed potato pouches and a Knorr package of chicken flavored noodles. Just no actual chicken in it. I’ll eat that for a couple of lunches for myself.
SOS!(Shit On a Shingle) "Ma can you make SOS for dinner?" Ours was served over toast! Look for the stouffers creamed chipped beef frozen dinner version, I don't usually eat frozen meals but this one is damn 100% identical to how mom made it, it's just the gravy and beef and you make your own toast/biscuit to put it over.

Edit: reading the reviews it appears they changed the recipe? I haven't had it in years, I had forgotten about it since this post, I was going to get one when I go to the store 😢
