I feel like I need a nap first.

Dinner will be reheated rice in Instapot, chicken breast sitting in a can with some water floating in the slow cooker for hours, and salad.

Edited to add: I put the chicken in a couple of tortillas with a half slice of cheese each + taco sauce + small amount of bean gravy + green olives /end edit

As always, bean gravy on top of the starch (rice). Where bean gravy is simply beans and a limited amount of water so it isn't soupy. 15 or 16 varieties of beans for a more diverse gut biome.

Salad = grated carrots, collard greens, cabbage, celery, red bell pepper, onions. Sometimes cauliflower or ,brocolli too.

The celery and red bell pepper (or green or whatever) are things I've only been adding consistently for a couple of months - makes it much better, not so bland, and makes it kinda crunchy in a nice way.
