The last of the yummy baked zucchini thing…womp womp.  Big old sad face now that that’s gone. I had a modest amount of cashew butter (by my standards) because I had two coffees with almond milk as well.  I haven’t been having that second cup since the first week of this charade so I was more full than usual.
