Apples with peanut butter, blended frozen pineapple and berries (basically healthy sorbet), spice lentil stew, black beans and roasted veggies with lots of Mexican flavours over brown rice with a dollop of guac. Sashimi with miso soup and an Asian slaw! Oh, I just realised I’m super hungry !
Oatmeal with added protein(nuts, egg whites, and sometimes whey). Throw in some coconut or berries. It also goes great with quinoa and puffed amaranth!
Other than that I really enjoy my daily turkey sandwhich on a toasted English muffin with Muenster cheese.
I would also eat salmon every day if it wasn’t for the Mercury. Usually eat 12 ounces 2-3 times a week which is still a little much.
I make a vegan green Chile Mac and cheese sauce with cashews, salt, pepper, green chiles, cilantro, a little cumin, and nutritional yeast in my vitamix and it tastes soooooo good, you’d never know it didn’t have any oil in it.
I love making my own versions of curry. Start with aromatics like garlic, onion, and ginger, add alllll the curry seasonings and pastes, then add your main. It can be chicken, chickpeas, sweet potato, etc. Add a can of light coconut milk and either canned tomatoes or broth. Add greens if you want. Top with tons of cilantro and lime. So comforting and healthy.
I make “healthy” ramen that’s gluten-free and msg-free. I can make it vegan or with a broth base.
I also have a banana with almond butter, honey, sea salt and dark chocolate chips when I want a sweet treat.
And finally my favorite binge snack is popcorn with nutritional yeast
Chopped celery or baby carrots. I can kind of mindlessly eat them out of a bag and not feel like I’m wrecking my diet. One time I measured a before and after of a bag of celery, I had eaten about 7-8 ounces from it, which is less than 50 calories. If these were chips, it would have been… a lot more than that.

I love cold weather, a blanket, a bowl of soup, and a cup of tea after.
Beef calf liver.
Lightly seared in butter no more than 30 seconds each side, inside still raw like jelly.
Sprinkle with Maldon’s flaked sea salt and eat with a bit of ice cold butter.
Does not taste like “liver” this way.
Delicious, nature’s multi-vitamin. ❤️
Low sodium chicken rice or noodle soup in a can, ( I know), drain some of the liquid out. Then take frozen vegetables like peas, green beans, and carrots and simmer them on stove. When done, add soup, spices, and dash of olive oil. In the bowl a sprinkle of Parm cheese & garlic powder. It’s great to make when feeling under the weather, as it doesn’t take too much time, but has vegetables. Sometimes I’ll add spinach or mushrooms, too.
Instant ramen in a chilli lime soy sauce broth, with fried beef burger patties chopped up and thrown in (as well as random veggies). This ALWAYS cheers me up when I’m down and feels like the biggest blanket/hug 😊
Most nights I eat a hearty salad of mixed vegetables and pumpkin seeds, a dressing made from EVOO, red wine vinegar, balsamic, and mustard, a little parmesan, a slab of salmon, and a glass of red wine. I’ve probably eaten this 100+ times for dinner this year and the other night I was enjoying it so much that I just wolfed it down, I doubt I’ll ever get sick of it.
I also really like having a sweet potato (microwaved and seasoned with cinnamon and five spice powder), half an avocado, and some salsa for lunch. As quick to prep as any frozen meal, and super healthy, all whole foods.
Also, frozen blueberries.
Nothing fancy but my simple breakfast is really a comfort food for me:
Egg whites omlette with a huge salad of various greens, parsley, broccoli, red pepper, beetroot and 2 table spoons of linseed oil. That’s all and I’m happy and ready for the day.
A delicious Honeycrisp apple, with a side of popcorn, popped in olive oil on the stove. Lots of fiber, not alot of salt, sugar, or industrial fats. Wash it down with some unsweetened iced tea. Leaves me feeling much better than in the old days when I’d scarf an entire party size bag of doritos and a couple of Rockstars.
