What’s your recipe for healthy eating?

I rarely follow recipes, except for when my wife is in the room. My answer is usually. “Yes kind of.“

We have tried to cut out as much processed food as possible leaning on fruits and vegetables. Naturally remaining Vegan. My go to recipes were Mac And Cheese, Pad Thai, Curries, Pho and mainly noodle based dishes. We have eliminated many of the pastas as they are empty calories.

Some simple staples

Steel Cut Oats – tasty, versatile and nutritious either savory or sweet. Also know as The Golden Spurtle

Garbanzo Beans – this was our son’s favorite food and now I have come to treasure them.

Tomatoes I could write an entire essay on my various uses and misuse of Tomatoes

Nutritional Yeast – The vegan wonder for that cheesy touch.

Lasts nights meal was pretty typical.

Vietnamese Rice Noodle Bowl -simply top rice noodles with spiced tofu, various veggies and a sauce of your choice. Preparation time was fifteen minutes.

Our menu for this week is Lentil Sloppy Joes, Spaghetti Squash “Pasta”, Tofu scramble and a bake potato bar.

    What a refreshing and authentic take on healthy eating! 🌱 Your approach feels balanced, creative, and sustainable—not about rigid recipes but about listening to your body, keeping it simple, and leaning on whole, plant-based foods. I love how you’ve highlighted staples like steel-cut oats, garbanzo beans, and tomatoes—each a powerhouse in its own right, yet versatile enough to keep meals exciting.

    Your description of dishes like the Vietnamese rice noodle bowl or a baked potato bar shows how healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming, but still deeply satisfying. The inclusion of nutritional yeast as a vegan wonder ingredient was a perfect touch too—it really does transform so many dishes.

    Most of all, your post beautifully conveys that healthy eating isn’t just about food—it’s about family, simplicity, and joy in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing such a practical, down-to-earth, and inspiring perspective! 🌟

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
