Monday lunch was a leftover "burger" from our cookout, corn on the cob, green beans and carrots, and sliced tomato. The burger is topped with salt-free mustard, cucumber and tomato. My drink is water that the carrots and beans were cooked in. I admit, that's going a little far but it tastes pretty good.
The weather turned cooler and I started panicking about summer and the corn season ending, so I started eating 2 ears of corn! I don't get it every day so it probably evens out. Here it is served with some broccoli, and a small baked potato topped with parsley and home-made soy yogurt.
This time the corn was served with beans, sliced tomatoes and baked kohlrabi (sliced).
Today I cooked up some okra (from the farmer's market, a rare treat here), tomato (from the garden), and a cut up potato (baked last night), and a little parsley and basil. very good.
Breakfast had a new twist this week. I combined oat bran, buckwheat and corn grits in equal amounts, cooked that up (1/4 cup dry), and added in the greens I made the previous weekend (kale, eggplant, tomato). I like this.
My weekend breakfasts were treats from the farmer's market. Saturday it was melon (like a cantaloupe), blueberries and soy yogurt:
Sunday it was a peach, blueberries, and soy yogurt:
Dinners were usually beans and rice (from last weekend's food prep), a salad, maybe a small potato.
On the bad behavior side, I overate blueberries and carrots this weekend. You might think that would be hard to do, but I succeeded. The carrots were from the farmer's market and were very sweet. Having eaten them all, the temptation is gone now. sigh.

I envy your healthy food choices. I would give anything to have the four servings of corn shown above. I learned to eat corn in East Africa where they combine it with beans and then it's fried. Corn is also roasted or boiled. It is among my favorite summer food so far.
