I mean, when we weren't living together, I would occasionally eat cereal for dinner. Yeah.
We eat nutritious meals, period. My SO is a vegetarian (I'm sure many people here already know this) and so that kind of forces me to get creative sometimes, plus both of us need a balanced diet full of fruits and veggies to feel good, as I have a health issue that requires me to watch what I eat closely.

Last night I made caprese salad (sliced heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, drizzled with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper) and served it with Italian bread. Healthy, delicious, and super-easy.

Abaya, I imagine that living in Iceland it's not necessarily easy to get fresh vegetables for a decent price, and so I would guess that that is probably one of the factors limiting your ability to have a healthier dinner. I wouldn't really worry about it, because once you come back to the PacNW, there is so much fresh produce here you'll more than make up for it.
