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 upÂ

Can’t beat a good panini! 🙂
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Mmm that panini sounds fantastic – but I’ll take summer over fall any day!
Cait says
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!
Cait says
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!
Kelly @ My Love Affair with Running says
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!
Cait says
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! 😉
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
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. 🙂
Cait says
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!” 🙂
Alissa @lifelikefruitsalad says
It felt EXACTLY like fall here, too! I kinda loved it… 😀
Your lunch looks amazing, though! I need to get myself a panini press!
Cait says
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!
Lauren says
Your lunches always look so clean and delicious. Love a hot sandwich. 🙂
Cait says
Thanks Lauren 🙂 And me too! Can’t beat it!
