Jan, if I wasn't vegan that would sound pretty good, actually, sounds like something I should make for hubby. Even though I am married, I know what eating alone means, I make his meal and then something for myself. Actually it was a treat when he was in Oregon for 3 weeks, I ate my normal apple and peanut butter breakfast and then made a late lunch that covered both lunch and dinner. I made things that lasted for days so I had very little cooking to do. As far as eating out, go ahead and spoil yourself, you deserve it!
