Breakfast
1/4 of a Mama Cucina Strawberry Cheesecake
2 slices toast and marg
Lunch
Croissants and Cakes
Dinner
2 LM Sausages
Roasties
Cabbage and Carrots
Snack
A whole box of 'Choices' Caramels
(*am trying to show myself what I'm really eating and change it!*)
I haven't tried the selection box yet actually, for the same reason, that I'm not sure if I can justify spendng €7/€8! You're really lucky that you can get them in the supermarket. Even though the Celtic choices stuff is made in Ireland, it's so hard to find! The only shop I've ever seen it in is in the airport, so I always buy a box of them, or maybe a couple of bars, when I'm waiting around in duty-free.
And you're right, there is very little to dislike about that garlic spread, it's sounds pretty tasty! I may give it a try one of these days!
Houmous atá ann!

I had something that I christened 'The Everything but the Kitchen Sink' noodle soup. It looked awful and you'd think that the ingredients would make it inedible but it was delicious.
Ingredients as best as I can remember were: Noodles, mushrooms, aubergine, chopped courgette, red and yellow peppers, green beans, chickpeas, spinach, water chestnuts and home-made five spice and herb dumplings. The broth was a whole bunch of spices thrown in at random and the whole lot took about five minutes to prep and about 30 mins to cook on medium heat.
...and there's more for tomorrow. Oh yes.
Yesterday-I decided to diet then changed my mind! I had two bowls of low cal soup-then returned home from work and made fried noodles with tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and loads of stock/garlic/spices/chilli...
Today I have been a bit good though. Just had bowls of low cal soup and a huge salad with loads of veg, lettuce, fine-cut carrots and dressing

Friday, I had two cups of soup at work, got home early for a change (good, but was due to an emergency doctor's app, not so good!) Had a wrap with salsa, vegan marg, salad and some leftover chilli stuff, dipped in ketchup. Then I made potato wedges with loads of spices and more ketchup. Then I had two bowls of salad-went to bed early after some ciders!
Sat-I made two pizzas! I promised Jim I would cook him a pizza but think it's a waste to just make one dish. So I made two pizzas with cheezly, home made tomato sauce, chillis, mushrooms, tomatoes and some cheatin' pepperoni and turkey slices. I had some of the leftover base whilst the pizza cooked, dipped in salsa.
I went out, had too much wine, returned home and ate the leftover pizza from Jim's tucking into it! And had some fried noodles with veg (fat git, I know!)
Today I have not felt hungry yet-just had lots of coffee and been for a run to make up for the stuffing my face!xx

Breakfast - home made wholemeal roll with Vitalite mixed with smoked rapeseed oil (I was under the impression that all marge in this country has to be fortified with vitamin D by law, but I couldn't see any on the ingredients when I checked?!

I hate it when I'm studying and a velociraptor throws bananas on me.
Today I ate a sandwich with rye bread, pure sunflower margarine and pure soy cheese. I wonder if they make sunflower cheese..
Then a New York bagel, a carrot, three apples, some kind of an organic Canadian nut and seed bar with lots of sugar and a can of garden peas.
I eat too much. :<
Kanopa, that doesn't sound that much to me. Re. sunflower cheese - I know you can get different flavour sunflower spreads which I presume are a bit like soft cheese or hummous, in a some European countries. I forget which, I saw it on the Vegan Backpacker website and thought they looked interesting!
I've had
B: multigrain crackers, dried figs, coffee
L: falafel, hummous and salad cob, half a chocolate sultana flapjack (which also turned out to have coconut in it. It was really nice!)
Afternoon snacks: multigrain crackers, handful of "breakfast sprinkle" (various seeds and dried fruit), Alpro vanilla custard pot with a spoonful of cocoa powder stirred in.
Am going out to dinner this evening, think I'm going to have mushroom curry, as the place I'm going does a really nice unusual one, with hints of cinnamon.

For lunch I went into the city cos it was my birthday, and had an awesome fake fish and chips thingy. They used bean curd, and they must've marinated it and stuff, then wrapped it in some sea veggie for the fishy taste, and then fried it like "normal" fish and chips. It was really awesome, I actually thought it was actual fish cos it felt and looked like fish, but it wasn't. Was looking forward to having desserts (that's why I went to this place cos the entire dessert menu was vegan lol) but they had NO desserts AT ALL. I was bummed
Anyway, dinner is just going to be chocolate cake, vegan of course lol
I hate it when I'm studying and a velociraptor throws bananas on me.
MoonDance that sounds great! (apart from the lack of dessert, of course, but the dinner sounds like it'll make up for that ). Happy Birthday!

I ate very crappily yesteday even though it was one of my 'Non Diet' days.
2 mugs of soup whilst at work, bag of crisps (chips)...that kept me going I was starving for some reason!

Then for supper I made some instant noodles in spicy sauce.
