Happy What I Ate Wednesday. Hope your week is going well. Can you believe it’s the last day of August? I feel like this summer went especially fast. I feel like I meant to take a vacation or something? Fall is coming. The light is changing. The truth is, I’m really excited. I love this time of year, and that back-to-school buzz. I’ve got lots of new, exciting stuff to share with you guys,—soon, I promise.

Since I shared one of those mini-vacations with you guys last week, I thought I’d share a back-to-the-grind day this time around. I’m a little worried my nose is going to fuse to the grindstone, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Here’s what I ate last Wednesday. 

Breakfast: Savory Oats

Lunch: Salad—an assortment of random stuff, including arugula, avocado, cucumber, roasted pepper, grape tomatoes, roasted eggplant, and an egg. I just used balsamic for dressing.

Snack: Yogurt with coconut flour and blueberries plus a garnish (1/2 teaspoon) of seeds and drizzle of honey

Dinner: Greens with cauliflower rice and cooked veggies and the remaining avocado half, topped with baked wild Atlantic cod and miso-tahini sauce.
