Quinoa and chia seeds are my favorite healthy food now (been cooking them a lot recently).
I mix chia seeds with milk or yogurt when I want something sweet to eat.
Quinoa for something savory and I eat it instead of rice for lunches.

Here is a list of basic ingredients for cooking that you may consider:
Oils & Vinegars
Olive Oil - There are different types of Olive Oil. It would be handy to have the type for cooking and another for salad dressings.
Vegetable Oil - Canola oil or Sunflower oil are fairly good options.
Sesame Oil - For Asian recipes, this oil is versatile and adds an additional layer of flavours to your food. You may use it as part of a marinade for your meat or simply drizzle some Sesame oil over cooked porridge/congee for a nice aroma.
Balsamic Vinegar - Tastes sour and tangy, great for Western recipes especially for salad dressings (Tip: Pair Balsamic vinegar with Rocket (also known as Arugula), its tasty!)
Spices & Seasonings
Salt
Sugar
Pepper (Black Pepper & White Pepper)
Paprika
Red Chili Flakes
Dried Thyme
Dried Oregano
Turmeric
Sauces
Light Soy sauce
Dark Soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
Oyster Sauce
Plum Sauce
Ketchup
Chili - Belachan, Sriracha, Tabasco, etc.
Others
Garlic, ginger, onion, rice, pasta, etc.

I prefer simple and easy to clean up methods.
For my case, I do steaming and veggies.
And without the usual salad dressings or sauces.
Olive oil and vinegar mainly.
Less of a mess to clean up which makes it easier to stick to the plan. Path of least resistance!

This is an old post, but I still wanted to give some healthy advice on cooking at home, as I believe there are still a few people out there who would visit this thread to get some tips.
First, choose a reputable store that sells high-quality cooking ingredients. Second, choose to buy organic products, as these items are healthier and safer than their conventional counterparts. Third, take advantage of seasonal promotions, deals, and discounts to save money. Lastly, look for healthy alternatives to certain ingredients. For example, instead of buying regular refined sugar, you can choose Manuka honey as a healthier sweetener alternative.
