    It's on the kitchen table. An hour away from me. So it was a quick stop for half a sandwich and some pirate's booty.

    I had a tub full of egg mayonnaise and 50g of dried mango, quick with decent protein and carb mix.

    Sure do! It's so perfect for fall.

    Soup:

    2 teaspoons olive oil

    1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon chopped green onions

    1/2 cup chopped carrot

    Pinch of salt

    1 pound butternut squash, in cubes

    3 cups vegetable broth

    1/4 cup chopped peanuts

    5 tablespoons peanut sauce

    Heat olive oil on medium heat and saute 1/2 cup green onions, carrot, and pinch of salt for 4 minutes. Add squash and broth and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes (or until squash is tender). Blend (in blender or with stick blender) and stir in 5 tablespoons peanut sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with peanuts and remaining green onion. Serves four.

    You can use a favorite recipe for peanut sauce or this one --

    Peanut Sauce:

    1/2 cup coconut milk
    1/2 cup peanut butter
    2 teaspoons soy sauce
    1/2 teaspoon sriracha (or more if you like it hotter)
    2 teaspoons lime juice
    1/4 cup water

    Whisk together. This makes more than you need for the soup, but the leftovers are great as a dip.

    With the specific weights and brands I used, this came out to 147 calories for the soup itself and an additional 50 calories for the sauce that is added to the soup. Both recipes are from "The Sexy Vegan Cookbook" by Brian Patton.

    LC poppy seed bagel and a smear of cream cheese. Would have definitely have broiled some salmon if I had some filets.

    Was GOING to have a sandwich but then I dropped a glass jar full of pickles on the floor. Spent all lunch break cleaning up my mess, came back to work and had yogurt. Early dinner for me tonight. Sigh.

    I sure wish I had your goals! Dang that sounds awesome.

    But today I had 3oz of shredded chicken, a can of progresso light veg soup (my favorite!) with hot sauce, and a little clementine orage.
