Plums, Strawberries, tomato, Celery, Sweet Potato

This week had some fantastic snackers--
celery, cherry tomatos, cucumbers, cantaloup.  My celery is gone, cucumbers will make it through tomorrow Maybe.  the cantaloupe is cut and will be split between the next 3 breakfasts.  I have been eating the tomatoes every time I open the fridge it is fantastic.
