Here’s a confession. For the last several years, I’ve automated my eating habits. Every weekday morning I have (homemade) granola for breakfast. Saturdays are my splurge day for a sweet pastry. For Sunday breakfast, I chow down on an onion bagel smeared with cream cheese (and add a sweet tomato in the summer). Each Monday evening, my dinner includes an artichoke. Someone reading this might think it’s boring. But the routine has made my life even more delicious.

4-5 days a week, my breakfast is cereal (usually a mix of Ezerkial w/Flaxeed, Uncle Sam, or oatmeal), plus milk and cottage cheese or yogurt, plus some fruit, usually berries. And a small square or two of dark chocolate, 85% or greater of cacao content. And I always look forward to it.
That does sound good.
Not boring. It cuts back on decision fatigue. For me every morning is scrambled eggs & sausage. Lunch is a sandwich with deli meat, tomato, lettuce, cheese and sometimes cucumber. Makes my life much easier. Dinner is still stuck in decision limbo. Working on dinner.
I’m so glad to hear you get it.
