  • Beans and grains! Usually a combo of brown rice, oats, and other whole grains. I also top with some form of hot sauce, fermented vegetables, onion, and seeds for extra nutrition. Basically my daily lunch.

    I drink an espresso in the morning, and then coffee or tea throughout the day, and usually a green smoothie of some sort and fruits for snacks.

    Dinner varies frequently.

  • Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I've been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn't work perfectly but I've made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I'd highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I've become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.

  • My crockpot pretty much always has some chicken soup. Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, celery, and chicken breast. I eat this a lot for lunch, especially at work in a to go container.

    I also eat a smoothie pretty much every day, which I call my fruit soup. Fresh apples and bananas, some frozen fruit usually berries mangoes or peaches, fresh greens either spinach or kale, honey, mushroom blend powder, beetroot powder, turmeric powder, vanilla or chocolate flavored protein powder, Greek style yogurt, and probiotic kefir. I make a blenderfull and fill three or four shaker bottles, they last as long as I dont skip days.

    I dont always eat breakfast but usually oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar or cold cereal. Sometimes just a banana or a muffin.

    Sandwiches, I always have bread and meat and cheese and mustard and mayo and almond butter and jelly. And lately frozen sausage patties, sometimes for breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes I just eat sandwich meat wrapped in cheese, unwiches.

    Sheperds pie casserole. I always have a box or two of instant potato flakes, some canned veggies, and frozen beef. Layer of potatoes, browned meat, canned veggies (I like corn green beans and saurkraut) and sometimes cheese, then another layer of potato, throw it in the oven. I buy plain potato flakes and season them myself. It's all non perishable and quick, easy and hearty.

    This and a variety of burritos from the place near my work (when my boss is buying) is probably 90% of what I eat.

  • Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, so still learning what my staples are. But eggs, strawberries, and grapes have become a pretty regular eat.

  • I make Vegan Bolognese almost every week, and I make a lot of it so it lasts for several days. I just never get tired of it, and it's easy to mix it up with different ingredients and spices.
    There's also a really good frozen Pyttipanna that I mix with frozen peas and corn, 10 minutes in an air fryer and then mix in a bit of butter, fresh cracked pepper and either ketchup or a sauce like kebab sauce or garlic sauce.
