Garden Variety

Not a fan of this H&M dress so it did not get purchased. I am not really a fan of the blousy material, angled cuts of summer-inspired dresses this season. They feel more like lingerie than something I could wear to work. I did like the pop of orange from the scarf/belt.

Moving on to leftovers for lunch. Yes, I bring a cooler to the mall filled with leftover tilapia, sauteed veggies, and a peach. I am in love with the diet lemonade from Chik Fil-A so that was my big purchase at the mall-- not bad for $1.76 (plus you get a free refill!!).

Dinner at my parents, after my dad let me loose to pick-my-own veggies from his garden: zucchini, several varieties of peppers, and a tomato. Yum!

On the menu: chicken fajitas (served over red cabbage and grilled eggplant for me), homemade guac with Xotchil chips (amazing!), sweet corn, and grilled pineapple for dessert. I am having them over for my "famous" turkey burgers on Friday to reciprocate. It really is nice having them close-by :)

I will leave you with a list of healthy fats (courtesy of today's clients):

GOOD FATS
Monounsaturated fat	Polyunsaturated fat
Olive oil Canola oil Sunflower oil Peanut oil Sesame oil Avocados Olives Nuts (almonds, peanuts, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews) Peanut butter	Soybean oil Corn oil Safflower oil Walnuts Sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds Flaxseed Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines) Soymilk Tofu

The best sources of healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and fish.

• Cook with olive oil. Use olive oil for stovetop cooking, rather than butter, stick margarine, or lard. For baking, try canola or vegetable oil.
• Eat more avocados. Try them in sandwiches or salads or make guacamole. Along with being loaded with heart and brain-healthy fats, they make for a filling and satisfying meal.
• Reach for the nuts. You can also add nuts to vegetable dishes or use them instead of breadcrumbs on chicken or fish.
• Snack on olives. Olives are high in healthy monounsaturated fats. But unlike most other high-fat foods, they make for a low-calorie snack when eaten on their own. Try them plain or make a tapenade for dipping.
• Dress your own salad. Commercial salad dressings are often high in saturated fat or made with damaged trans fat oils. Create your own healthy dressings with high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil, flaxseed oil, or sesame oil.
