      Yep. Had a little breakfast very early w/da (necessary!) meds.

      How it usually goes ..... decaf coffee .... one piece of challah toast, unsalted butter & blueberry jam. Snack = Cutie tangerine + a bit of (plain) Chobani.

      For lunch .... roasted veggies w/a small piece of salmon.

      Not thinking about dinner as yet.

      Love all those fixins .... tofu, avacado, beans. Tomato & egg is also good. Trying to stay away from (especially yellow or anything w/rennet) cheese. Causes migrains.

      Keep eatin hearty Meme!
