I always find it fascinating to see how people define "healthy". From the variety of meals described in this thread it is clear that there is no universal definition. Which makes sense, since I don't think there is any universal scientific agreement on what "healthy" food really is.
I also believe that what is "healthy" for one person may not be healthy for others. Our bodies respond differently to different sources of food.

My friend who owns a Chinese restaurant refers to the kitchen operation as "constant preparation interrupted by occasional cooking."
Fried corn is where you shuck 4-5 large ears of corn and cut it off the cobb. Then take the back of the knife and scraps the cobb of all liquids.
You put some bacon drippings (or even butter) in a skillet and "fry" the corn for a few minutes--stirring occassionally. You could put a small amount of water or cream into the corn and saute until it thickens.
I then salt and pepper it to taste. I heavily pepper fried corn.
My grandmother cooked green beans and a cast iron skillet of cornbread every day at lunch. She would serve fried corn about every other day at lunch. She would rotate meats. Dinner would be a snack, or leftovers.

I often scramble an egg with a pat of Kerrygold butter and add organic veggies like broccoli or sweet corn and cheese or cut up lunch meat - whatever's in the fridge! I top it off with locally made green chile sauce and add a little kimchi or pickled beets on the side.
We bought those stone bowls a couple years ago and actually took them with us on the RV even though they are massively heavy. We have not gotten around to making BiBimBap in the RV but I do not know why. I love kimchi too!
I have a big vegetable garden, and we love to do stir-fries in the summer and fall months with fresh garden veggies. This year, we tried a Korean dish called Bibimbap, which is basically a rice bowl topped with whatever veggies you have on hand, plus whatever meat we have on hand, and a fried egg, topped with a spicy Korean chile sauce.

I’m not sure what you mean by “pastured”, but the eggs I buy are from free range hens who eat a vegetarian diet. I don’t buy the ones from hens only fed organic food, because the yolks of those eggs are pale. I love the bright yellow yolks and the flavour of the free range eggs.
Not to quibble, but chickens aren’t vegetarians, if left to their own devices, i.e. “free range”.
These chickens do not cross the road!
Why would they?

The carton says that they are fed a vegetarian diet and are free to roam outside. I understand that “outside” has a fence. These chickens do not cross the road! But I suppose they could nibble on the odd worm or bug appetizer if they so choose.
