Healthier (however you define it) meals you've been making lately

That’s bc “feta” is a PDO as per EU regulations, and may only be used for cheese produced in specific regions of Greece.

ETA: Even though I am 6 hours ahead of everyone, I am clearly behind with this reply.

Don’t mind me. Carry on.

All mafia!! :joy:

Well, probably.

Mediterranean sea bass with lemon tonight. 2 fillets also had pepper, crushed chiles and oregano.

I bought the Mediterranean sea bass at a fish market in Toronto’s Little Italy. Good quality fish.

Newport is probably the best supplier in the city right now.

I hope it is ok to ask for suggestions here.

I’m looking for ideas for low-carb, low (or no!) sodium meals. Shellfish and pork can’t be eaten. I would also prefer (haha) to stay away from red meat and fatty dishes. I don’t have (easy) access to things that might be considered unusual ingredients in small places, but if the ingredients can be shipped and be used in more than one application without going bad in two minutes, I’d absolutely buy them online.

Just to make it fun - I’m trying (so far without success) to keep my grocery budget less than eye-watering.

Some ideas here:

Low Sodium

Lower salt dining out, post salty meal recovery

Low-salt cooking

Lower salt dining out, post salty meal recovery

I find I have to avoid most frozen prepared meals, some types of restaurants, and some specific dishes.

The restaurant dishes I have to avoid or keep to a minimum:

Battered or breaded fish
Cured meats and deli meats
Deli turkey
Korean resto food
Thai resto food
Middle Eastern , Levantine and Israeli fast food, especially the cheapest restaurants
Shawarma
Falafel
Eggplant Parm, Veal Parm and Chicken Parm
Lasagna
Schnitzel

I made this following a tip from @Saregama - added a proportion (about a third) of quinoa to my usual brown basmati rice.
