I've got quite a few, but one of my favorites is pinto beans, greens, sweet potato, and canned tomatoes. Heated up, seasoned with chili powder and cumin. Yum!

My favourites are:
Jeff Novick's Jambalya recipe.
McDougall's Tunisian stew (using PB2 instead of peanut butter -not sure if it then qualifies as MWL) on brown rice.
A spicy chipotle chilli and brown rice.
Baked fries

So many more....

I'm making the chilli right now!

PS. My Tunisian Stew is probably not considered MWL (I don't want to confuse anyone new to the program). Just wishful thinking on my part.

Oh, my favorite meals! They are nothing fancy, but I enjoy them very much.

Last night's dinner was a big plate of well-cooked broccoli (three crowns of broccoli cooked until very soft), plus a well-cooked onion (they get so sweet, and I cut them down the center, and peel away the pieces from the inside, eating them with my fingers). The onion has to be pretty cool and cooked until soft, or else I have to throw it back in the microwave.

In addition I ate a delish bowl of lentils for dinner (mostly French lentils, but also some red lentils that needed to be used up), with only some garam masala, chili powder and cayenne thrown in. (Oh, and there were three or four small garlic cloves cooked in with the lentils.

I have been going high-vegetable lately (hence the large portion of broccoli, plus the onion), which is enormously pleasing to me, and seems to make the starches feel even more decadent and satisfying when you get to them.

I got massively influenced by that post on the Gorilla Diet, the post pointing to Dr Greger's video on the how early homo sapient probably ate, aka the Myoscenic diet. :)
