    Breakfast: peach Greek yogurt & black coffee
    Lunch: something a local Chinese place does called "tangy treasure", I have no idea if it's common or not...sweet spicy sauce over chicken, beef & shrimp with vegetables. I'll skip the rice but have a crab rangoon with it.
    Dinner: pumpkin coconut curry sauce over squash and chickpeas, again skipping the rice. A Forelle pear.

    Today should be pretty good, I think.

    Breakfast: I was ravenous at 3:00AM so I had a couple sweet potato rounds topped with celery/pecan/goat cheese salad (Thanksgiving leftovers); had a cranberry bagel with cream cheese, half a cup of Greek yogurt, and at 7:00AM.

    Lunch: giant bowl of steamed purple cauliflower, probably another sweet potato round, maybe some leftover stuffing.

    Dinner: I think I'll make a simple turkey-and-potato chowder (from Thanksgiving leftovers, again, some more), maybe toss in some green beans or spinach too.

    Snacks: crackers or baguette rounds with fancy cheese, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots.

    I got that meal from a restaurant. Have personally never seen cashew sour cream in stores; looks like it's not too difficult to make, though.

    Thanks for letting me know. I just looked it up and found this:

    The Best Vegan Sour Cream
    1 cup raw cashews, soaked.
    1/4 cup raw slivered almonds.
    1/4 cup lemon juice, about 2 small lemons.
    1/2 cup water.
    1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar.
    1 tablespoon nutritional yeast.
    1 teaspoon himalayan sea salt.

    I quit smoking (like, JUST quit smoking -- not even sure if it'll stick yet) and I fully admit I've been using food to cope, which I know isn't great. I had pizza for breakfast and I strongly suspect I'll have McDonald's for lunch. I'm planning a light dinner of bread, nice cheese, and lots of raw vegetables, so I can nibble all evening but not do too much damage. I overate yesterday for the first time in a year or so and I feel bad about it, even though I know this is a temporary phase and quitting smoking is important. Basically, what I'm eating is Everything, currently, and I have feelz about it.

    Good luck with quitting! I went through it myself a few years ago.

    Breakfast: two sweet potato rounds topped with pecan/celery/goat cheese salad, leftover stuffing, coffee.

    Lunch: fancy ramen bowl with a poached egg, steamed colorful cauliflower.

    Dinner: zuppa Toscana, slightly lightened up by using milk instead of cream (I know, what a huge sacrifice :wink:).

    Snacks: infinite, as I am still coping with not smoking -- dill pickle sunflower seeds, candycane Joe-Joes, whatever else is unfortunate enough to cross my sightline.
