Tonight I made, basically, a paleo dinner (don't tell Sam) that is both easy and yummy: mustard chicken with roasted sweet potato and spinach (recipes below).

I wouldn't say my diet is ideal- I eat bread and french fries in moderation (kind of)- but I know what's good for me and try to stick to that. I cook most of what I eat, avoid processed foods and ingredients, and eat fresh when I can. In general I find the simpler, the better and the better for you. Not needing to measure things also helps.
Recipes
Mustard chicken
- Chicken breast (or whatever part of the chicken you like)
- About 1 tbs Dijon mustard per breast (depending on how much you like mustard)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Rinse and dry chicken, place in baking apparatus
- Dollop mustard and a splash of olive oil onto chicken
- Mix around until chicken is coated on both sides
- Season with salt and pepper as desired
- Either set aside for a bit to marinade or preheat your oven to 350
- Cook for about 20 minutes depending on amount of chicken
- Eat your chicken
Roasted sweet potato
I don't usually skin my potatoes but if you're into that, do that first.
- Sweet potato
- Olive oil/fat
- Salt
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- Once oven is hot, put olive oil/fat you like to cook with into baking tin and leave in the oven for 2-5 minutes
- Cut sweet potato into similar sized chunks- about a cubic inch
- Put potato into the hot oil/fat, sprinkle lightly with salt, making sure all surfaces have sufficient oil and fat
- Cover tin with tin foil and cook for 20 minutes
- Remove cover and cook for another 20 minutes or until potatoes are getting crispy and you want to eat them
