Healthy Eating

I like and eat a variety of foods, so it's impossible and pointless to try to pick favorites, and I don't really follow recipes, and I don't even cook lunch normally. No foods or meals are in themselves healthy; diets are more and less healthy - you can look up your nutritional needs, but how to define good nutrition is also up to ideology and personal values. And taste is very individual. Have you tried a cookbook? Or you could google meal name+recipe, or ask for specific recipes in the Recipe forum.

I could have written this.

There are way too many variables to answer that question imo... Eat the food you enjoy!

Consider googling: Healthy Lunch Ideas.

Lunch - typically leftovers
Dinner - whatever deliciousness we are in the mood for that evening. We eat a large variety of meals. This time of the year the choice is often driven by whatever the garden is producing the most of at the moment. The struggle is real trying to eat or preserve it before it goes bad.

A few recent examples:
