In the spirit of NY resolutions and being good after Christmas what healthy food item, dish or recipe can you not get enough of? I don't believe in diets so if something is healthy but enjoyable at the same time it win win.
My go to dish i never tire of is a ramen style noodle bowl. I have it vegan, veggie or meat depending on my mood, vary the veg, add an egg or cashews, change the noodles, change the seasonings. It's impossible to get bored of and feels so nutritious and works summer or winter. Tonight's version was buckwheat noodles with left over rib of beef, cashews, sliced sprouts, carrot, dried mushrooms and seaweed, miso, soy, siracha and an egg. 😋
Lentil bolognese tonight.
Having spent most of the daylight hours today rodding a total of 22m of drains full of congealled fat and mega meat turds , I have announced to my house that everyone is going vegetarian.
This may not last, but the rodding output today was mighty.
Salad in general but raw tomatoes in particular. Love them and have them almost every day one way or another. Mrs Kenny grows them in the summer which knock spots off most of the shop bought ones.
Dhal in its many guises. Never get bored of it always tasty and nutritious.
Yeah i grow my own toms which i love raw but struggle to enjoy supermarket ones out of season
Mmm dahl, and rice cakes mmmmmm
Falafel, I love falafel. Also keen on daal. Most stuff where black beans are a major component, really like black beans too. Burgers where the patty is either falafel or some sort of black bean concoction are always a winner for me.
Cucumber and raw carrots. Don't need a dip although one enhances things.
Falafels in pitta, smothered in hummus packed with fresh lettuce and coriander... and a healthy handful of pickled chilliest.
If I liked healthy stuff I wouldn’t need to join Chub Club. Again.
lol that deep fried falafel smothered in hummus in a white pitta certainly is healthy!
I love it too, but don't kid yourself that it is especially healthy. nutritious yes, certainly calorie dense as well!
thai / asian salad dressings are fantastic instead of oily dressings.
roast cauliflower in lime juice soy and chilli is awesome,
fennel apple celery.salad with lemon juice and grilled chicken, swoon super good
huevos rancheros with avo on toast on the side
loads of healthy stuff is well tasty
lol that deep fried falafel smothered in hummus in a white pitta certainly is healthy!
Not disagreeing with the sentiment but you can (and I do) bake falafel. Not sure what's unhealthy about hummus either?
It's got more oil that BP.
sure yes baked is different.
Lots of oil in hummus. It is of course good for you in moderation, like nuts and so on. Depends on the healthy definition. It is very calorie dense thats all.
Pretty much all standard veg cooked most ways and some raw, baring potatoes, which I find minging unless they are buried deep in curry.
Seafood/fish of all types
Seaweed snacks/nori
Bean and buckwheat chilli-non-carne cooked in stock (no oil)
Crudités/humus
Roast vegetables
Green veg soups ie cauli and kale
Root veg soups minus spuds
Tarka daal
Stir fried beansprouts
Nuts, ie walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts etc
Apples
Simple porridge made with water, oats, and apple chips
Rye bread toast with peanut butter
Proper wholefood salad bowls
Scrambled egg with tabasco on rye toast
Decaff coffee with oat milk
Roobois tea “” “”
Lentil stew
I like nearly all food! Just spend too much time eating bread and taters all ways because cheap and easy (and addictive)
Lots of oil in hummus
Have been adding less oil lately (1 dessert spoon extra virgin olive oil per batch) and it still tastes great imo. Pretty healthy with all that tahini and chick peas. As you say, portion control.
Sausages.
The rest of you can form an orderly queue for the B Ark.
tahini is also..... go on.... guess....
sorry , not the hummus police i promise! Everything in moderation!
Dhal in its many guises. Never get bored of it always tasty and nutritious.
Lentil dhal for me.
Also can easily eat my body weight in raw carrots
tahini is also….. go on…. guess….
Ok Dad, I know 😉

I love dates. Relatively high sugar content but in moderation (as with anything) there's lots of fibre and other good stuff in there. Overall, a good ride snack.
haha dont worry i love it too! great just as a dip with a little lemon juice mixed in 😋
Oh yar dahl is great and sooo easy to make. Falafel and Humus pitta is my go to healthy pack lunch bikebouy! Yes we are talking healthy and nutritious not calorie counting here. It's winter and a little insulation is not the end of the world.
Fajitas, if you have sour cream; guacamole; salsa; cheese in moderation.
My home made beef jerky.
Decent joint of beef thinly sliced
Marinate in one bottle Worcester sauce, one bottle soy sauce and some chilli flakes overnight.
Put in dehydrater until ready and munch away (takes 6 or 7 hours)

You have a fitting forum name for this post.
how has no-one mentioned roast beetroot?
heathens
Pizza! Man I love it!
Nowt wrong with oil (or fats really) it's carbs you have to watch because

Came under roast veg of all types 😉. Did have a beet wellington for chrimbo. Top notch.
Also some veg jerky. Sounds rude, tastes ace 👍🏼
Ooo who mentioned Seaweed snacks-PHOAAARRR!
Pass that crate squire
I'm quite into dried mango slices.
Chuck a bit of salt on them and they are even better. Trust me
Apples, actually most fruit.
I love couscous. Mainly carbs though.
Wotsits
Broccoli...... It is just ace.
And fresh ginger, garlic and chilli.... Great health benefits and an awesome flavour combo.
My good lady has just made a huge batch of detox soup which has virtually nothing even remotely bad in it and is pretty amazing..... Full of ginger and spices.
Ryb-eye steak and 4 fried eggs.
Fresh veg -crunchier the better. Lightly steamed if they must be heated.
And I'll take good oils over sugar (processed) any day of any week.
Falafel and humous can have a part in a healthy diet. Certainly more so than chips and coke.
Also like my fish. Poached white fish , mackerel , baked salmon , tuna , sardines.
Eggs . Love an egg. Poached , scrambled , boiled. How ever must be fresh cooked and properly cooked, can't be doing with cold/overcooked eggs
Puy Lentils, particularly the Merchant Gourmet ones in a microwave packet.
Don't know why but I find them tasty on their own or amazing with any kind of sauce. Ideal for taking to work.
Greggs Cheese and onion pasties. My nod to vegetarianism
Masses of stuff (lots of which above) but I like to maintain a balanced diet so I eat a load of sugary stuff like cake to maintain the balance.
There's actually not much I don't enjoy eating from what you'd ordinarily encounter in the western world so it's pretty easy to eat good stuff.
Not mad keen on tripe though!
Soups, stews, veggie curry, veggie pasta, veggie omelette... Among other things
Don’t know why but I find them tasty on their own
Merchant Gourmet use oil, bay and onion to flavour their ‘simply cooked’ product. It is good. I agree puy/dark-green lentils are very satisfying, even just themselves cooked in water. Try simmering some dried ones up with your favourite stock, finely chopped leeks, garlic, a few good pinches of smoked paprika and some sliced shiitake mushrooms. A little white wine doesn’t hurt, as long as all the liquid is absorbed into those plump little spheres. Sounds wrong.
Home made soup.
And bread, with a kilo of butter. But butter's good innit, calcium and that.
Poached eggs.....see above
