First choose your protein: red meat, poultry, (fish, eggs,) lentils, etc.


Select a method of cooking: roast, bake, grill, fry, braise, boil, etc.


Pair with a carbohydrate or starch: potato, rice, pasta, etc.


Match with one or more vegetables, chosen for colour contrast.


Prefer whole-grains for pasta, brown rice, or sweet potatoes.I am bored of cooking the same meals. Does anyone have a recipe that doesn't involve fish or eggs?
