^^ That looks like a lovely Sunday morning breakfast, Firestorm :)

[Astrid660]

^I second that! I haven't had a croissant in eons.

[Firestorm]

They were the ones from Jusrol. I didn't expect them to be that good but they turned out excellent

I like the jusroll croissants. Mood dependant they can be made either sweet or savoury with chocolate spread or pesto & cheezly :)

[Firestorm]

I never considered making them savoury - will have to give that a try, I was thinking about stuffing them with White Chocolate Peanut Butter

That could work either :)

stir fry with water chestnuts, bok choy, pepper, cauliflower and udon noodles (first time trying them!)
Also, a sprinkling of sesame seeds and dulse.

[KnittinMama]

Mmmmm sesame seeds. That stir fry looks super yummy!

That looks gorgeous Astrid! As an aside, I love that bowl :)

[Astrid660]

^I do too, I love earth tones :)

Today I made a curry from a random pinterest recipe that I modified. It was basically onion, garlic, vegetables,chickpeas, coconut milk, curry powder, tumeric,coriander, chia seeds (instead of cornstarch) and veg broth. Of course, I wanted it super spicy, so cayenne and extra hot curry powder were added. :) It was delicious!

Potato, sweet potato, cauliflower, chickpea, spinach and tomato curry with basmati rice and home fried poppadoms.

[Astrid660]

What's a poppadom? Sounds interesting!

They're a kind of indian cracker bread made from lentil flour. I haven't had poppadoms in ages actually, must buy some :)

Poppadoms are awesome.
Over here in Blighty we now consider them our own (well, on a Friday night anyway - with a hot curry and several cold lagers!).

If you can't get them at your local supermarket, you'll have no problem getting them from an ethnic (Indian/Pakistani) store.

It strikes me that the next time someone says to me "oh, but what DO you eat?" I'll give them a link to here so they can see it's not all lentil burgers and salad!


Out of curiosity - since going vegan, have you found that the you are actually eating a much wider variety of food now?

I remember when I ate meat that I'd have the same meals on the same days. Friday was always fish, Sunday was always chicken etc.
Now I'm eating a much wider variety of food and eat stuff that I wouldn't have touched before.

Lentil Dahl, hummus, falafel etc - who'd know that they would be among my favourite foods - as I would never have touched that "hippy" food 15 years ago. Now, I'm hooked on it!

Ok, not sure why that double posted.

[Astrid660]

^yes, I had a very boring omni diet. I thought it was varied at the time.. .But looking back, grabbing frozen pizzas isn't very innovative.

Glad I went vegan because my diet is never boring, and I learned that I LOVE to cook!

[Troutina]

Thanks guys - now I'm desperate for a curry! (and a cold pint...)

[Blueberries]

Yes definately! :) I didn't know anything about food until I went vegan!

They're some of my favourites too :)

Well, myself, I was vegetarian first (tried veganism but just about everything I at had eggs in it as some level) and living with my mum, so I actually had to learn how to cook.
Going vegetarian (and then "fully" committing after getting used to an ovo lacto diet) was the best thing I ever did - otherwise I'd still be ordering take out and relying on frozen beef burgers.
Would I have tried quinoa? Ha ha ha! Yeah right hippies!
Would I have discovered chick peas and their myriad of uses? HA HA HA! RIGHT!

I'd still be stuck on baked beans, egg sarnies and beef burgers. A heart attack on a plate.


I have actually found that when asked "well what do you eat?" and I roll out the stuff that I do eat, which is extremely varied, and then ask "well, what do you eat aside from fish and chips, chicken,beef burgers, meat pies, pizza and chips?" I usually get an "ummmm......?"

Funny thing is that it's US who are supposed to have the limited diet....
