12:00 Cottage cheese topped with pineapple and blueberries.  Cucumber, baby bell pepper.  Zoodles sauteed in butter and garlic, mixed with black beans and some Nutritional Yeast.  The Nutritional Yeast gave it a cheesy flavor.  I'm pondering all the other uses for it...

10:30 sf hot chocolate



Breakfast - Avocado toast and peanut butter toast with berries and chia, pero/postum
