Last week’s vacation has led to this week’s inspiration.

Jim bought a copy of the Morning Glory Farm cookbook while we were on the Vineyard, and it provided me with some inspiration for this week’s meal planning. I’m on a campaign to get both of us to eat better more consistently — better breakfasts and lunches more specifically, because our dinners are already well-balanced (and good). So since I had today off, I made the following: homemade granola, a lovely chicken salad with celery, red pepper strips, and walnuts, and the best corn muffins ever (with fresh corn in them — so good).

In the fridge there’s plain yogurt and lots of fresh fruit, so between that and the granola and muffins, breakfasts will be taken care of. I’ve already packed chicken salad (and some cherry tomatoes and baby carrots) for lunch, along with little bags of fresh cherries. We’re off to a pretty good start. I wish I could have a day like this every single week.
