A little more work than I usually do for breakfast. But it is simple-minded, which helps.

This time the veggies (1.5 cups) were grated carrots, collard greens, some celery, some red bell pepper,

(onions too, but I don't count that as a vegetable for quota purposes -- I have a 3.0 cups/day veggie quota)

After the veggies were done, I stirred in some pre-made rice and some ubiquitous bean gravy and heated.

Ubiquitous bean gravy is simply beans and water (3 cups beans and 9 cups water cooked in an Instapot). I call it "ubiquitous" because I put it on everything - veggies, potatoes, rice, spaghetti (along with regular spaghetti sauce in the latter case). The beans are usually a 15-bean mix, sometimes with some large lima beans mixed in.

Pineapple and tangelos with coconut bark mixed in. A little agave.

Toasted waffle.

Might start a big pot of soup today.

hot soup sounds delicious on a cold winter day. My personal favorite is cream of broccoli.

I saw that joke in the Lounge, and I cracked up.

The scones are my standard recipe, this time with orange zest, cinnamon and chopped walnuts.
