I put the recipe at https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=3398260.
For breakfast, I ate cold (raw) corn on the cob, some red pepper strips, and some fat-free hummus. I like this food, but I'll be glad to have the normal temperatures back so I can eat more cooked foods without heating up the house.
Today will be my second day of MWL and my first day at work on the program. I will take lots of compliant foods to work with me. What I really want to find, though, is shelf-stable snacks that are MWL-compliant. Chips and crackers are out; so are nuts and dried fruits. I may go search the boards and see if someone's asked this question before.

But the most important help with cravings for me has been an exercise in the Beck Diet Solution book: when a craving comes, I remind myself that going off my plan just isn't an option. I thought this would bother me, or just be silly, but it's SO HELPFUL and I can't recommend it enough. I just say "No, it's not an option" and that cuts short the hours of "should I or shouldn't I?" that I often go through. So far, I haven't caved to a craving since the July 3rd potluck at work.
