New hobby: label reading

Gone are the days of mindless eating. I'm now a label-reader. And I deny myself food that doesn't meet the rules of Unprocessed October. Oh, the baked goods I have had to pass up. It's tragic.

But something about being control feels good.

Today I discovered organic eggs are the shit, and that a scrambled one with a pinch of salt sits quite nicely next to steel cut outs with honey and blueberries in my bowl, and a spoon full of the sweet and savory is a lovely way to start the day.

Another discovery: honey in coffee. This isn't really new to me -- I put honey in my au lait at coffee shops, but sweetening my regular ol' office coffee with honey makes me enjoy my morning cup that much more.

Here's a rundown of my food choices today:

Breakfast: organic egg and oatmeal with honey & blueberries (did I mention it was awesome?), green tea

Coffee with honey

Lunch: Great Greek Salad and oven roasted potatoes from Kalamata's

Snack: Grape tomatoes and homemade hummus

Dinner: Sauteed portabellos, onions, garlic, tomatoes and steamed broccoli, plus another scrambled organic egg (what?)

Dessert: Greek yogurt, honey, homemade granola*
