When I'm eating at home I don't always use recipes, so I wanted to show you what I eat and how simple my meals are. Hopefully these photos of some of my past meals will give you a few good ideas. (Visit my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StraightUpFood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook page<\/a> for even more photos of my everyday meals.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You'll see from the photos that you don't need meat or fish to be the centerpiece of a meal. For me it's usually potatoes, rice, soup, stew, or a big salad. You'll also see that I tend to eat many of the same things over and over, like salads, corn on the cob, rice, steamed veggies, and potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes I have a few different dishes and other times just one. A meal can look any way you like as long as it's comprised of plenty of nutrient-rich whole foods to fill you up. When you find a handful of dishes that you like, just rotate them and you'll be set!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/BeanPotatoSalad_570px.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"381\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/my-meals\/?tp_image_id=5231\" src=\"https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/BeanPotatoSalad_570px.jpg\" alt=\"StraightUpFood.com\" class=\"wp-image-5231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/BeanPotatoSalad_570px.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.straightupfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/BeanPotatoSalad_570px-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Above: I call this the \"big pile of food,\" which is simply a plate FULL of your favorite foods.
