[Cajundaddy]

We have always prepared most of our meals and only eat out usually 1x per week. Fast food approaching zero. We cook for both taste and nutrition.

We probably eat a more Mediterranean diet with a wide variety of fresh fruit and veggis, lentils, whole fish, pork, and some beef. I don't think we have to sacrifice flavor for nutrition, just have to find interesting ways to prepare it. This week included pork chops, grilled chicken thighs, New York steak, tortolini with mushrooms and sausage in a pesto sauce, grilled asparagus, roasted brussel sprouts, steamed artichokes, potatoes, Cajun style red beans and rice, broccoli parmesan, and fresh bread from the local bakery. We try and mix it up to keep things interesting and have about 20-30 different meals we can put together without too much effort.
