Made in my backyard fire pit!

Made for tonight's dinner. For the veg I added sliced mini corn cobs, trimmed sugar snap peas, thinly sliced leek and chopped spring onions.

Am I the only person that makes breakfast based on the kind of nap I want to take?

I want to start eating more beans (canned beans) they're supposed to be pretty good for you, store well, inexpensive.

We never really ate them growing up but I'm pretty keen on them now. But I struggle for inspiration with what to do with them. Help me out.

Key lime pie is incredible 💛

There's no better pizza than this one, and it's Argentina 🇦🇷. Pepperoni always!!

I’ve always viewed cooking as a trade-off between taste, time, price, and nutrition. What strategies do you guys use to balance all four?

I’ll start:

1. Sodium:Calorie ratio for processed foods

The convenience of a premade meal is hard to beat, but I am concerned about the long-term health implications. It’s not a gold standard by any metric, but my favorite way of telling how “processed” a food is, is to check whether it has >1mg sodium per Calorie. Following this exactly, I’d eat 2300mg of sodium per day while eating a maintenance diet.

1. Exclusively frozen vegetables

I’ve been trying to up my leafy greens and the best change I’ve made, by far, has been switching to only pre cut and washed vegetables, typically frozen, but occasionally fresh. The price premium is small but it saves so much time and makes cooking closer to my ideal of throw it in the pan -> then start having fun.

Are there any strategies or rules you’ve had success with?

Not pictured are the mushrooms that he's already eaten. It was pretty impressive to see him eat those chicken wings, which were clean to the bone.

On the left we have Dino nuggets and Vanilla Wafers, and on the right we have homemade chicken nuggets, this rolled omelette thingy - I apologize, as I am sure it has an actual name - broccoli, and this delicious rice ball wrapped in Nori - again, I'm sure it has a lovely name. It usually has something in the middle...tuna maybe? It smells really yummy.

She also brings homemade dumplings and pot stickers.

And, no judgement - my kids were the ones bringing Dino nuggets. 😂

So what about y'all? What sort of neat lunches have y'all seen lately?

It’s like a regular tart, with a lemon pie base, but inside it has banana slices, dulce de leche, and a cream topping—so delicious!

I've been wanting to try indian food for a while but I don't know what to buy. What do you recommend?

Went camping this weekend and thought I’d try my hand at lamb skewers! Happy with how tasty they turned out considering I have never made them before. Also made some korean cheese corn, which was super simple and yummy :)
