Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, so still learning what my staples are. But eggs, strawberries, and grapes have become a pretty regular eat.
Rice.
Cheese pizza is my most eaten food this year. Second, bologna sandwiches.
I also drink tons of Arizona green tea and Half&half.
Rice
No love for eggs?
I wish they were more filling
fuckin love eggs
although I’m kind of on the fence with them. anything weird happens and I’m not eating eggs for a while. Oh, this one has two yolks in it? Cool I might be done
Eggs are great but the us is back to a shortage bc of the bird flu
I stopped buying eggs the first time this happened and i stopped buying eggs again bc of this. Its like 8 dollars for a dozen…
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.
Chickpeas, tofu and chicken are often recurring on our cooking, along with rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
When eating out my go-to is falafel, with a few different chicken options as second choice.
Rice and eggs, depending on how tight money is sometimes I go for months on just egg fried rice
I’ve found that some canned sweet corn and sesame oil will dress this up really nicely
Sweet potato, black beans, and peanutbutter (not together lol)
black beans, chickpeas, cornmeal, eggs, bread
Do u make tortillas?
We eat a lot of tortillas but also johnnycakes.
Bread
Coffee and tacos.
Potatoes, rice, rye bread and dry pasta.
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.
