    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.

    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.

    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!

    Not disagreeing with the sentiment but you can (and I do) bake falafel. Not sure what’s unhealthy about hummus either?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.
