lunch

let me show off to you what N packed me for lunch today:


It may look a little haphazard, but let me tell you what's in it...which are some of my favorite things in the world...

• roasted beets in balsamic vinegar
• braised brussels sprouts (which are SO good)
  
• green olives
• sweet and spicy pickles
  
• tomatoes
• hard boiled egg
• lightly steamed broccoli
• chicken from the deli counter
• goat cheese
• sliced almonds
• crumbled bacon
• fresh mushrooms
• shredded carrots
• and, of course, spinach
• all topped off with a from-scratch lemon mustard vinaigrette
  

be jealous. very, very jealous.
