i really enjoy cooking meals that are not only healthy but also full of flavor. i keep things simple and balanced, but i still try to be creative with what i make.
one of my go-to tools is the sous vide — especially for chicken breasts, which come out super juicy and easy to prep ahead of time.
most of my meals follow a consistent pattern: a clean protein, some kind of fresh green (arugula, lettuce, cherry tomato salad), and a whole-food carb — usually brown rice, potatoes, or lentils. i try to stay away from refined flours, but i'm not strict — i'll treat myself when it feels worth it.
