It’s a perfect day out there.
It actually feels a lot like early Fall – which is my absolute favorite season.
I headed to the gym around 11 and did a quick elliptical workout then headed home for lunch!
I kind of wanted a salad, but I was also craving something a little warm given the cooler temps today.
My solution?
A nice warm turkey, pepperjack, spicy mustard and avocado panini on whole wheat (AWESOME combo of flavors).
A side salad with 50/50 salad mix, shredded carrots and avocado, olive oil and vinegar.
And a nice juicy orange.
It was a perfect compromise.
And quickly gobbled up

That sandwich looks delicious!!! I had a very similar one for lunch
Can’t beat a good panini!
Mmm that panini sounds fantastic – but I’ll take summer over fall any day!
I’m always torn – when it’s not summer, I wait and wait and wait for it and when it is summer, I crave Fall! Classic case of not being happy with what you have! Haha. Truly I love both seasons though
GAH! I kinda sorta want to hate you…it is going to be 105 today in Austin. I want to cry. Enjoy your lovely weather and dang that panini looks tasty!
UGH! Boy do I know the heat of Austin summers from when I would go and stay with my cousins! It’s the worst! We’re supposed to eek towards the 100s by the end of the week though! And thank you
It definitely was!
I love homemade lunches! Toasted sandwiches always hit the spot, and always forget how good they are when I havnt had one in a while!
Agreed! Sometimes I get on kicks where I’ll be eating out a lot and my first meal at home is always so delicious
And cheap! 
I’m sitting here in the kitchen with the windows open thinking, “Why does it feel like fall?”
If only we could have these days…ALWAYS.
Haha I COMPLETELY agree – and so funny you say that because as I was eating my breakfast outside this morning I thought to myself “If only the weather could always be like this” Then I thought to myself “I guess that’s what living in San Diego must be like!”
It felt EXACTLY like fall here, too! I kinda loved it…
Your lunch looks amazing, though! I need to get myself a panini press!
Definitely do! I actually just use my griddler…this would be great cooked like a grilled cheese as well
Glad you too can appreciate the greatness of a good fall weather day!
Your lunches always look so clean and delicious. Love a hot sandwich.
Thanks Lauren
And me too! Can’t beat it!
