Mine is this cheeseburger quesadilla with cherry hots. I used to force myself to always eat different things and vegetables etc etc but it’s been really nice this past year to give myself permission to let go of some of that and let myself off the hook to eat what I want without judgment

    gif of Kirby looking fella with a bowl of macaroni and plate of chicken strips disappearing in ecstasy and joy at the glorious food combo

    MACARONI

    WITH THE CHICKEN STRIPS?

    UNGH 😫

    But literally, Kraft dinner mac and cheese and cut up some chicken nuggies or strips or whatever you got. Mix. Eat. Good.

        Well, that sounds like I need to try it. Reminds me of the macaroni and cheese KFC bowl. Have you had that?

      Before I had a wife (who actually cares about me). I would make a casserole with wide egg noodles, chicken, peas, maybe another veg, mixed with a combo of cream of mushroom soup, couple eggs, and topped with a generous layer of cheddar…
      I’m told this is not good for you, but it is delicious and has enough variety that I can eat it every day.

        I think it sounds hearty and nutritious. Usually when people say “not good for you” it’s because they’re scared of fat. Ultimately, you could argue either way but I’m on the side of you eating something that feels good to you. Back when I was trying to be super fit and slim I was miserable most of the time and it didn’t even really work. Granted, if you start to have health issues you could maybe try to substitute elements of it but I think it sounds like a really good choice

          I actually had to start eating more fat because the “normal” fat diet (not even low fat at that) I had was making my stomach ache. Started putting more fat on everything and it’s all good now. I’m even actually dieting and losing weight - cut out a lot of sweets instead and I’m eating less of everything. But with more fat.

            That doesn’t surprise me. I’m pretty sure the sugar lobby was one of the main pusjers behind the major low fat diet push in the late 90s/early 00. Ever since they started moving away from the good fats, everything is suddenly so full of sugar

    I bought macaroni cheese from the supermarket today, serves 2 1. It’s usually Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle and Frazzles.

    I have a couple.

    Sometimes just rice, furikake or whatever it is, sesame seeds, and spring onion. If fancy I toast the rice.

    Sometimes kimchi pancakes, or chickpea flour pancakes. They come together quick and are relatively nourishing.

    Often a slow cooked chilli non carne or bolognaise. It’s lazy and healthyish

    And on zero function days I just pressure cook lentils with rice, heat oil with random spices, then pour it over the protein and carb mush.

    I like food too much to have just one haha

    I’ve had the same cereal for breakfast for the last 2 years. Eventually I’ll find a different cereal, but not today.

    I tend to go for the more typical instant noodles and junk food, but I’ve recently taken to mashed potato as a healthier option.

    Popcorn, the cooking process of getting the corn seeds and throwing then in a pot, and just taking a moment to my self to think as I make em. Then I go back to whatever I was doing but now with popcorn :D
