My Cooking Style
I love cooking flavorful meals that balance health, convenience, and creativity. I use sous vide to prepare juicy chicken breasts and enjoy organizing my meals around clean proteins, greens, and whole-food carbs. My daily meals usually follow this structure: protein + greens (like arugula, lettuce, or cherry tomato salad) + healthy carbs (brown rice, potatoes, lentils, etc.). I try to avoid refined flours but indulge every now and then. Here's an example weekly plan I follow:
