I just had a whack it all together on a plate dinner, but boy was it tasty :D
it consisted of baked beans, mushrooms, spinach, eggplant, tinned tomatoes, and 2 mini corn fritter things, kinda reminded me of the ol' fry up breakfasts, but so much healthier as i don't use any oil :p

Ohh, how do you make the corn fritters without oil. I love these things and would love to know how to cook them healthier!

I got dragged to a Weatherspoons pub at lunch, but I had a mushroom dupiaza, poppodums, rice and mango chutney. I THINK it was actually vegan!:o

a corn fritter is kinda like a pancake i guess its corn flavoured and has little corn peices in it, i guess you could have it sweet or savoury, i like mine savoury coz i'm not a fan of the whole veggies as sweet thing (like weird canada people who put syrup on bacon and eggs:eek: *ewwww*) lol
I cheated a bit though coz i bought one of those shake and make packs:o , where you just add water to the bottle and shake it up, then i used a non stick fry pan so avoided downing them in oil which works for me, just make sure the pan isn't too hot or it will burn in like 2 seconds, i learnt that the hard way:o , lol

Maple syrup on bacon is like the best thing EVER! :D
Mmmm...I always cook my veggie sausages in maple syrup, it is soooo good. Maple syrup goes really well with the sage flavor of sausage and the smokey flavor of the bacon. It actually is really savory. They also flavor bacon/sausage with maple a lot here too, so maybe it drills it into us. And people baste hams in brown sugar.
Do you like carrot cake or grilled sweet potatoes w/sugar? Some veggies are just so sweet on their own.

Sweet potatos with sugar!!!:eek: i have never heard of that, geez you don't realize how far away australia is until you hear something like that, i like sweet potato mashed or in currys, lol, when i went to canada a tried pumpkin pie and it was the grossest thing ever, lol, i like my pumpkin roasted and drowned in gravy... mmmm:p
I do confess though i did used to like carrot cake, so maybe some vegetables can be sweet, i'll have to try the maple sausages...:rolleyes:
I wonder what other crazy concoctions(sp?) are eaten elsewhere in the world and not hear that just sound crazy to me...???

I have just done 3 nightshifts (thank god that's over and done with).
The first night I took a multigrain breadroll and some other ingredients (Yves veggie turkey, tofutti mozarella, alfalfa, spring mix leaves, tomato) and made up a big sandwich which I had with some veggie chips.
The next 2 nights I took an Yves Thai Lemongrass "Chicken" bowl, to heat up in the microwave, which I ate at the front of the store, because there was no time for a break.
Ugh - there's one for my "cons" list Tina - ugly night shifts until 11pm/12am

To make corn fritters you just make a pancake batter and add fresh corn kernals enough to make it thick and any spices you like eg chilli or cumin or whatever and cook in frypan or bbq.
To make fat free just use a light spray of oil.
Homemade pizza is our fav dinner with lots of mushies and capsicum.

Wow Diane, that sounds delicious, i wish i could motivate myself to try some raw recipes, they all seem so complicated though (other than salads :p) maybe i am just lazy... :D
