Lunch was open faced grilled cheese with a big carrot, tomatoes and hummus. Yogurt on the side for dessert/dairy. Then, I realized that I love to eat yogurt with some kind of topping. So, I added the “allow-ables” – almonds and raisins. But, I wanted more of the goodies so I grabbed a handful of trailmix I have. So, I…
