I decided to start a new thread, for the easy stroll that is phase 2!

I'm back at it today. Obviously I took yesterday, my 50th birthday off.

Today:
B: whole grain toast with peanut butter
S: olives

Haven't figured out the rest yet! Must go to the market.
I want to make a 3-4 bean soup like this:
