What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Pizza from Amazonas in Oakland. This place is highly recommended by a genuine New Yorker as the best NY style pizza around. It definitely delivered. There was also a certain amount of cookies for a work party.
Afternoon snack: More cookies, including some delicious chocolate chip ones that included spicy pepper and ginger.
Dinner: Leftover chili and rice
Dessert: Coffee ice cream with ganache
Morning Snack: Peanut butter filled pretzels
Lunch: Leftover Mac&Cheese with some veggies on the side
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookie, iced tea
Dinner: Beef chili with rice and cheese
Dessert: Coffee milkshake with ganache. Frankly, the ganache was a little over the top
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: A bite of a GNC protein bar I picked up at bike to work day. One bite was enough. Nasty.
Lunch: Ham sandwich with hummus
Afternoon snack: Hummus and chips, plus some candy. Coke zero
Dinner: Leftover pork tenderloin, corn pancakes, rice, green salad
Dessert: Chocolate chip cookies
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: A few small pastries (and a piece of pizza) at bike-to-work-day stations.
Lunch: Turkey cranberry sandwich from Cafe Gabriela in Oakland. It was pretty good, but small. I think the mayo was house-made; really tasty. I would order the sopressata sandwich next time, or the pulled pork. The trouble, though, is that they all are on a baguette, which means biting it will send the filling out the other side.
Afternoon snack: Cupcakes from Cupcake Love in Oakland. Brought in for someone’s birthday. Had little bites of each and all very tasty.
Dinner: Pork tenderloin, the backyard bbq recipe from Sarah Foster. Also some corn pancakes with a lime cilantro sour cream sauce. Amazing.
Dessert: Chocolate chip cookies with some ice cream.
Breakfast: Granolo, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover enchiladas
Afternoon snack: A few squares of a chocolate bar, iced tea
Dinner: Leftover enchiladas, green salad
Dessert: Chocolate chip cookies, made into ice cream sandwiches

Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover pizza
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookie, coke zero
Dinner: Buttermilk chicken, broccoli, oven baked potato-fries with spices
Dessert: Root beer float
Breakfast: Donuts from Rainbow donuts in Berkeley. This shop was pretty great: they had a good selection of interesting doughnuts… stuff like Oreo, Mint, M&M, alongside the classics. I have to say, though, that their custard filling was a little weak.
Morning Snack: Iced tea
Lunch: Turkey hummus pita wrap
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookies and lemonade from the girls’ roving lemonade stand. There were a ton of garage sales, and they raised $50 to send to victims of the Nepal earthquake
Dinner: 2 cheeseburger meal from McDonald’s, just to bookend a day of healthy living. The girls had never eaten at Micky-D’s, and they read about Happy Meals in a book… mom was sick, it seemed a perfect opportunity. Frankly, they were underwhelmed. Tessa said the chicken nuggets tasted kind of fishy. Eliza said the burgers were better at Barney’s. Both were correct.
Dessert: Another chocolate chip cookie or two
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Some cookie thing someone brought in
Lunch: Leftover Mac&Cheese
Afternoon snack: Hummus on pita chips, leftover s’mores tart
Dinner: Leftover Mac&Cheese, green salad

Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: A bit of chocolate croissant from staff meeting. Also a couple of bites of watermellon
Lunch: Another bit of croissant with cashew butter and jelly horked from the office fridge
Afternoon snack: An office party potluck spread to stretch out the belly… guacamole, 7-layer dip, some potato pancake things, some veggies with hummus, some falafel, cookies, I brought the chocolate chip cookie dough tart. Lot of food
Dinner: Ramen soup
Dessert: Leftover birthday cake
