Hello! I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving (if you're American) or just last week (if not). I, personally, loooooove Thanksgiving... but I am also very tired of holiday leftovers at this point. I'm looking forward to a good day of New Food!

Breakfast: croissant with herbed Boursin, ham, coffee (with my favorite -- peppermint mocha creamer)

Lunch: will be leftover sausage-and-potato soup from last night, wilted spinach on the side

Dinner: will be broiled pork chops with (sigh) cider gravy leftover from Thanksgiving, steamed cauliflower, and rice

Snacks: I'm gong to enjoy a good book and a beautiful pomegranate, very slowly and luxuriously, before bed

    Breakfast: Tea!

    Lunch: Cauliflower potato leek soup and a clementine

    Dinner: Homemade pulled pork on a bun with homemade coleslaw!

    Snacks: Nada.

    I'm saving most of my calories for dinner! I slow-roasted my pork shoulder last night after work and tonight I'm excited to enjoy it with all the fixin's. :p

    Lunch - Chicken pot pie soup, saltine crackers, an apple and a Babybel

    Dinner - Tacos two ways! Chicken sausage and poblano tacquito with salsa roja & crunchy fish tacos with shredded cabbage, thinly sliced jalapeno, lime and chipotle cream

    Maybe some raw cauliflower for snacking. And an abundance of tea and maybe some ginger ale, cause this gal has the sniffles.

    Breakfast - my usual wrap (whole wheat/low carb, hummus, avocado, chicken, baby spinach)
    Lunch - a Lean Cuisine with more baby spinach and light blue cheese dressing
    Dinner - shrimp and pasta with vodka sauce.
    Snacks - protein shake, Greek yogurt with dried fruit mixed in.

    I've got wiggle room, I might have a small wonton soup between the yogurt snack and when I go home. Today's a 12 hour day so the only meal I eat at home is dinner.

    And as always, green tea with lemon and Splenda.

    Boring today:

    Breakfast smoothie (avocado, kale, strawberries, almonds, protein powder)

    Lunch: vegetarian chili with black and kidney beans and various other ingredients and some cauliflower on the side.

    Dinner: stir fry with wild rice, whatever veg I have on hand (I know I have broccoli and zucchini and swiss chard, so probably those), and some tofu.

    Probably pineapple with the stir fry or for dessert, I'll probably add some nuts or have them with dessert too (I bought some shelled and salted pistachios which is dangerous, as the hassle of shelling them is the only way I have self-control).

    I actually saw some shelled and salted pistachios for the first time in the bulk bin at my local store and I was like "OHHHH yeah -- no, wait, I'd better not." I'm like you, the shells are an important speed bump for me.

    Post-run: Greek yogurt with protein powder, chocolate PB2, fiber cereal, and soymilk.

    Breakfast - Taco Bell bacon soft taco, coffee

    Lunch - spaghetti and turkey meatballs, spaghetti squash. I tasted spaghetti squash about 20 years ago with spaghetti sauce and swore I would
    Never Eat that horrible stuff again, but I softened. It was on sale at WalMart. Got a small one for 20 cents. Tried just a bite plain. Liked it!
    So I ate half of it with just salt. Will try a little olive oil when I reheat the other half.

    Supper - probably a pork chop, butternut squash, salad.

    And of course, a cranberry tea from Sonic
