Darn, I was getting ready to say man that looks so good then I read the caption and seen that it’s oxtail. I can’t lie. It does look really good, but I probably would never ever try it.

Cycle eating can be delicious—what’s on your plate?
One thing I’ve learned on my journey is that supporting your body doesn’t have to be boring. I’ve started building my meals around foods I actually enjoy—while still being intentional about nutrition. This bowl includes some of my favorites: plantain and grilled jerk sardines. Sardines are rich

The image features a peeled rambutan fruit with the text "DIVERSIFY HOW TO YOUR NUTRITION" overlaid, introducing the topic of expanding dietary variety.
The image shows crates of common fruits like apples, pineapples, papayas, and bananas, alongside text stating "Your rainbow is way too small" and listing typical "rainbow" fruits.
A text-heavy slide explains that common fruits and vegetables are a tiny fraction of available types, emphasizing that "Your rainbow is way too small" and highlighting the vast diversity of plants.

What’s better than Garden to Plate?
Just dirt, buckets, and vibes ✌️ I’m a chaos gardener and proud of it. These scallions? 4 years old. Planted the butt of a bundle once and never looked back. 💡TIP: You don’t need a “real” garden to grow food. Start with your scraps. Start messy. Start somewhere. #growingmyownfood #grow
