    Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, so still learning what my staples are. But eggs, strawberries, and grapes have become a pretty regular eat.

      Dairy can be ok depending what you mean. Quark yogurt, fine, cheese, not fine.

    Red lentil, yellow lentil, black lentil, urad lentil, chick peas (white and black), kidney beans, rice, tofu, potatoes, canned tomatoes, coconut cream and prefried dried crispy onions. With those I can make a large variety of foods and sauces. Usually just adding some other veg like peppers, carrots, leaks, etc

    Edit: I forgot to list Tamari and Marmite. Good for various things, but combine those in proper proportion withan fried onion base and a flour roux, you have a beefy stew base or brown gravy

    EGG.

    (-protein has one of the highest bio available properties and I think most, if not all trace nutrients essential for human body excluding vitamin C)

    Eating EGGs plus a vitamin c source is very fucking healthy.

    My partner is a chef and fermenter, so it’s really hard to keep a food routine because she endlessly chases novelty. That said, when the need for novelty is low, we split evenly between rice, pasta and potatoes for carbs (she’s Chinese, I’m Italian, we live in Germany so…). Proteins are eggs and tofu as staple. White beans and chickpeas are less common. A rotation of different cuts of meat on top. Fish here is expensive and bad, but we always have a can of sardines or tuna. Often we buy a whole chicken for the week to do a roast, a fried rice and a pot of stock for the week. Vegetables and fruit are the things we rotate the most because they are all equally bad.

    I make Vegan Bolognese almost every week, and I make a lot of it so it lasts for several days. I just never get tired of it, and it’s easy to mix it up with different ingredients and spices.
    There’s also a really good frozen Pyttipanna that I mix with frozen peas and corn, 10 minutes in an air fryer and then mix in a bit of butter, fresh cracked pepper and either ketchup or a sauce like kebab sauce or garlic sauce.
