Product Review and Lunch

For breakfast, I tried a new bar: Zoe's Peanut Butter Bliss. I know that there are healthier ways to have breakfast than eating a bar, but I wanted to find a decent one for those 'can't stop to eat' mornings.

I'm pleased with it. The taste isn't quite as good as a Luna Bar, but I didn't feel hungry by 10 am, either, which I do with the Lunas.

Lunch: sauteed some garlic in a little olive oil, added in some fresh spinach leaves and a spoonful of capers. Tossed, covered, turned off heat. Let sit about 5 minutes. Squeezed a bit of Meyer lemon over it, decided that grating a little Parmiagiano Reggiano over the top would be gilding the lily. Personally, I like gilded lilies. Put the Parm on.

Absolutely delicious lunch.

For dessert: a spoonful of Coconut Oil fudge. Ingredients: coconut oil, cocoa powder, smidge of agave nectar. Melt, mix, refrigerate. Tastes delicious and is -- oddly -- satisfying. I say "oddly" because anything chocolate, I'd be having seconds or thirds. No desire to, even though it tasted great.

I don't know if I believe all the hype about virgin coconut oil. But see, I don't entirely trust anything. My journey is to eat things and see how my body responds.

So far, so good.
