Breakfast after jogging, 8 am: bowl of spinach and greens while making housemate's smoothie; 0.1 housemate smoothie; bowl of grains and fresh local strawberries topped with a few spoonfuls of soy yogurt:
lunch, noon: I made Rosemary, Mushrooms, Kale, and Sweet Potato, from the Straightup Food blog. It was easy to make, though I think I would have preferred baking the sweet potato and frying up the kale and mushrooms with some onions and spices; but this was pretty good. I also made a salad with lettuce, ground flaxseed, d'angou pear vinegar and strawberries. Here's the kale recipe cooked up:
Here's the lunch served up with some fresh garden herbs to add as desired:
snack, 3 pm: sugar snap peas.
snack, 5 pm: small bowl of grains, beans and soy yogurt.
snack, 6:30 pm: 4 carrots (on the bike ride home)
dinner, 7:30 pm: some orange remainders; same salad as lunch; a bowl of jicama. I added some herbs and d'angou pear vinegar to the jicama, then decided I didn't like the herbs so rinsed them off. I real like jicama but it's easily overwhelmed by stronger flavors. So I tend to prefer it all by itself. Here's dinner:

snack, 9:45 pm: small bowl of peas and corn with a dash of d'angou pear vinegar. I confess I wasn't hungry, but, it was good.

Thoughts/notes:
- the local strawberries don't last long so I used them as a salad topping at lunch and dinner, in addition to breakfast.
- yummy food, easy to prep. dinner prep, eating and cleanup took only 35 minutes!
