For breakfast, I generally have oatmeal with a splash of milk or cold cereal. If I'm going for a ride, I'll add in some yogurt and a banana, too.
For lunch, I generally have a salad with various veggies and beans or a broth based soup (I do not like cream soups as a general rule).
Dinners vary because I like to cook. I usually make two dishes per week that, with leftovers, get us throught the week. One dish usually has meat, preferably lean (but not always as I love a good hamburger or brat). The other is usually meatless. I make a lot of soups (vegetable, split pea, minestrone, lentil, mushroom barley to name a few). I eat a lot of beans and lentils, and I'm fond of pasta with some form of a pesto sauce. When I use cheese, I try to make it a flavorful one so that less is more. We also eat a lot of veggies and fruit, in all their forms. Some of my faves are brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, sweet red peppers, new potatoes, green beans, squash, beets, summer sweet corn, strawberries, watermelon, peaches, and cherries. I'm big on color.
For a snack at work, I usually have an apple or yogurt. I'd be lying, however, if I didn't admit to having a horrendous sweet tooth. I'm trying to be a bit better these days, but I could live on ice cream. It's not something
I'm proud of.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
