I am trying to give this a go. I don't normally eat a lot of UPFs, usually cooking from scratch, but I don't like garlic, spices, herbs or peppers which would make my meals more interesting. I miss ham, bacon and white bread, but have multi-grain sour dough, fish, chicken, cheese, eggs, vegetables, berries, seeds and nuts, but not keen on pulses.
I would welcome any suggestions of meals, apart from soup and salads, which I could try within my many limitations! Thanking you in advance.

I also try not to eat UPF I am also eating very little meat but lots of fish and pulses.
I recently found the following website for bean recipes, I don’t buy the beans they sell - very expensive but use supermarket ones, the recipes I have tried have been delicious.
