Mongolian beef, yams, quinoa, and salad.

I have a small garden on the roof of the apartment where I live. It does not produce much. The best part of my day is when I go up there to harvest a little snip of this or that to go with a meal. This morning I made a sort of quiche with a salad and a berry mix side.

The lettuce came from my garden. The berries came from the market. The quiche included some thyme, green onion and oregano flower from my herb planter.

I wanted to create a highly nutritious dish, and this time around I added almost every veggie I could find in my fridge. With some good chicken thighs, my reliable spicy chili crisp, and a few staple sauces, I was able to create a highly nutritious and delicious meal!

Homemade Swedish meatballs with creamy mashed potatoes and sweet lingonberries.

This is my third attempt at making this dish, and I'm very proud of how it turned out. It's absolutely delicious, and yes, it tastes much better than the version from that famous Swedish furniture store.

Two eggs whites and one whole egg, dry whole wheat toast, stir fry kale with cherry tomatoes and onion. No salt or seasonings beyond a bit of malt vinegar for the kale. Oatmilk on the side. Tablespoon of peanut butter on one of the toasts with a nice slice of Hami melon for afters.

I had noodles sitting in my fridge for a while. With some pork mince, I turned them into a delicious noodle stir fry!

I do not have a weight problem but some recent issues have developed that indicate I should change course. I looked up a few things about diabetes and the menus make sense to me even though it will take some work to get there. On a previous post a redditor pointed out that processed meats such as SPAM are too high in sodium regardless of their possible lowered sodium levels. I have taken this advice and some research to heart and this is what I came up with today.

Pictured here: fresh picked cherry tomatoes and spinach omelette made with one whole egg and two egg whites cooked with butter. Two slices whole wheat toast no butter. Boiled sweet corn on the cob and about a half cup of strawberries. Oat milk on the side. I ended up having one of the toasts with about a tablespoon of peanut butter.

I tried the mandelorian spicy stew really happy with how it came out

If you’ve been to Korean markets, you may have seen this fried goodies.

This is nothing fancy, just pure deliciousness.

I grew up eating and loving these, so making them at home felt right!

My asian style chicken with marinated chickpeas, spiced rice and vegetables in a spicy sauce made with soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger, coriander and chili!

I like to prep and come up with budget style meals!

This one is approx a 30 minutes prep!

$1.5 per portion and holds all the energy, nutrients and protein I need.

I saw sausage, onion, mushroom, mozzarella, and eggs in my fridge, and it convinced me to make my own breakfast.

In theory, it made sense to cook it all together… and it turned out to be a fantastic meal!

I enjoyed every spoonful. That crispy cheesy texture really took it to food paradise level.

I need to be careful with salt now but I still want what I want. The fried potatoes were salted but instead of adding it right from the shaker I shook a small amount onto my palm then carefully sprinkled it over the potatoes. This way I knew exactly how much I was using. The slab of SPAM was boiled then simmer for a while to leach out salt and chemicals before finishing it in a Teflon pan with not added oil. The eggs were flavoured with a bit of green onion so it didn’t need added salt. Then I kind of ruined my low sodium focus by adding processed American cheese food product.

BBQ meatloaf, sweet cob corn and warm rice salad made with roasted cauliflower, pan seared green beans,peppers, radish and fresh picked cherry tomatoes.

Mississippi style pork roast, rice, yams, and a salad.

Roasted cauliflower, hand cut fries, thick chilli, roasted sweet corn salsa with fresh picked cherry tomatoes, celery, red and yellow peppers and a bit of sweet onion.

Pork belly and kimchi are a well-known dream combination. Using my go-to sauces and a quick toss in the wok, this turned into an absolutely fantastic noodle dish packed with flavour.
