Throughout the years I have grown into a great cook. This was out of nessity and bizarre instances (being the only man working in a setting where cooking was mandatory, and being the only person other than the old school Grannys whom knew how to cook).
I feel now I run into more dudes my age whom know how to lockdown a kitchen more-so then females. A man takes pride in a good meal and if no female can make it for him he will take matters into his own hands and cook up a great feast.
Don't rely on eating out or the store to make you meals. You should be eating out for enjoyment or to eat something you can't make better at home. Example of this is I never order pasta while out because I have never ate a pasta dish in Canada that I have not been able to make better myself. These stores half ass it, even the better spots like Whole Foods or Longos and Loblaws in Canada drop the ball on little details that you can smooth over on your own. And once you eat a proper homemade version of a dish its hard to go to back to the pre-made stuff.
Hoping we can share tips and recipes on navigating the kitchen, grill and bar for drinks that good good with what your throwing down.
Health foods, date meals, or just gluttony type shit too - its all game.
Ill drop a recipe on a Tuna burger I whipped up randomly last night:
They would freeze well I would imagine to so you can nuke them and demolish them after the gym or work. I ate the last two the next day for breakfast with a salad, eggs, tomatoes, and a slice of whole-grain toast.

Tuna Burger:
*I got 4 good big patties out of this, they don't shrink so you can easily push it up to 6.
*It took 10 min of prep and 20 mins of cooking time.
-1 6oz Can of your favorite canned Tuna oil or water packed does not matter, I used water packed.
-1 can of Sardines, water packed also
-half a red bell pepper chopped and diced small
-half a onion chopped and diced small
-half a cup of ground flax seed meal
Optional: [Health nuts] Half a cup of some cooked up Quinoa or Steel cuts oats you have left over
Or,
[Full flavour] Half a cup of mashed potatoes
^ These aren't necessary but add more texture and flavour to the patty, I made a batch with and without I was happy with em' all. A spud you can nuke quickly to thrown in so its not a deal breaker.
Seasonings:
* I eye ball this stuff *
-Garlic powder
-Dill
-Splash of Soy sauce
-Cayenne pepper
-Splash of lime juice
-Table spoon of Mayo or your favorite cream-based salad dressing, I used creamy cucumber since I had no mayo (or just use more olive oil if your a health nut)
-Olive oil
* Do a taste test as you go along and add more of whatever you may need to.. then:
- Add one egg
Mix all this shit together it should give a stiff constancy, not as stiff as cookie dough tho. If its way to runny to form a decent patty then add more flax meal or optional stuff.
Pop these bitches in the oven at 350 for like 10-15 min, your just trying to get the center warm and the egg stiffed and cooked.
Get a frying pan and finish these off on some high heat to get a good crust and sear on the sides
Grab a good quality roll, bread, and toast it up then add...
Toppings:
Spinach
Parsley
Rest of the Red Bell pepper
Sauce - Spiked Tzatziki:
Tzatziki
Cayanne Pepper
Dijon Mustard
Splash of lime
Tiny bit of honey
Demolish these up and your good.
