I had leftover roast from dinner last night, so the question was how to revive it and make it appetizing for dinner tonight. My solution was to slice it fairly thinly and smother it in a low Fodmap chimichurri sauce. I made a quick fried rice with leftover rice and chopped up a zucchini and red pepper to add to it for the vegetables. And just like that, I had created a balanced meal with all the necessary macro-nutrients and plenty of micro-nutrients too.

Thank you for showing the video of your trip to Costa Rico. As keen bird watcher, it’s definitely on my bucket list.
Of course, the question is: how did you manage the food aspect of the trip?
Pretty good actually. I ate plain chicken and potatoes with some salad most of the time.
