A Day in the Life: Monday's Eats

More often than not, I get asked about what I eat. Sometimes the question comes from ardent meat-eaters who can't fathom going an entire day without consuming animal protein of some sort. Other days it's simply from those who are serious about health, eating well and cutting out processed food from their daily routine.

In both cases, I am by no means an expert, and I don't intend to start blogging every meal I eat. However, I thought it might be fun to document meals every now and again, if nothing more than to provide a bit of ordinary inspiration.
