[RubyDuby]

yesterday:
coffee
boca burger on wg roll- tom, onion, pickle, lettuce, ketchup
steak fries
soy latte
2 spring rolls
cabbage salad w vinegrette
thai dish- ginger veg with tofu (white rice)

[Est]

B: rice krispies w/ soya milk and agave nectar
L: M&S wild rice, lentil and aubergine w/ garlic dressing, veg samosa, fresh fruit
D: the same again! But tomato and basil soup instead of fruit

[Back-Space]

I had some toast this morning And a banana, apple and orange. I've been eating more fruit lately and feel less bogged down

[twinkle]

Today I had the most disgusting muesli for breakfast! I had decided to soak it overnight, but the only dried fruit I had was some fruitcake mix which included mixed peel - BIG mistake, especially as I had rather ill advisedly also added grated carrot, and apple and boysenberry juice. I might just go back to packet mueslies for a while...

I ate rye crackers, soaked almonds, clementines and broth throughout the day at work, and for dinner I made more of the spinach and garlic soup I had yesterday, to which I added peas. And I had a medium sized bowl of crisps on the side And so ends the first proper day of my diet. I wonder how much weight I've lost?

[Wildflower]

breakfast: 2 slices of ezekial raisin toast, earth balance margarine. coffee with vanilla almond milk.

lunch: tofurky slices, black olives and a ton of hummus and baby carrots

dinner (more snacking really). 1/2 piece of vegan carrot cake, popcorn made with canola oil and earth balance. water.

[memomow]

Breakfast: organic whole wheat spaghetti topped with homemade bolognese made of veg and yves ground
Lunch: slice of vegan pizza loaded with red peppers, white onions, artichoke hearts and some num white vegan cheese on a tomato sauce base
Snack: I chugged chocolate almond breeze right from the container when I got home
Dinner: split peas cooked until mush with lots of garlic and white wine vinegar. I sauteed dinosaur kale with more garlic and some extra virgin olive oil and then blended the two together. So freaking good! also a handful of crinkle cut fries for good measure
Snack: just thinking ahead here - either some vanilla flavored Coconut Bliss (if you haven't tried this product yet - RUN, don't walk to the store and get some, I assure you it's freaking delicious!) or apple wedges dipped in sunflower seed butter

I just had some cereal for my.... midnight snack? Awake again at 2 in the morning again.... I don't get it.

That all sounds fab! What is coconut bliss??

[VeganZee]

For breakfast I had: A cup of home-made soya yoghurt made with silken tofu, plain soya yoghurt, raspberries and strawberries. Then one weetabix with soya milk and kiwi, strawberries and raspberries. Mid morning I had a banana. For lunch: a brown seeded bread salad sandwich with lettuce, cucumber and tomato. A mug of marmite and a handful of nuts. Mid-afternoon: A mixed berry Trek bar, some red grapes and half and orange. (my three year old had the other half!). For dinner tonight I have: Creamy nut korma (from vegetarian feasts). The sauce is made with onion, garlic, ginger, cardamon, cumin, coriander, water, creamed coconut, ground almonds and lemon juice. To that I am adding carrots, sugar snap peas, cauliflower and broccali and serving with brown rice, followed by a slice of home-made banana bread

[Est]

L: 2 packs of Tyrells sweet chilli and red pepper crisps (stuck in a client meeting with nothing else in their coffee shop!)
D: M&S super food shaker salad (all sorts of healthy green stuff in a pot with dressing), fresh fruit, tomato and basil soup... and I'm about to have toasted tea cakes w/ Pure spread.

[veganwitch]

Hey Veganwitch! Haven't talked to you in awhile, hope you are doing well. Was wondering what brand of cheese you used in the quesadilla?

Hi Wildflower!!! **waves**. Sorry I only just saw this post. I've been trying to find my way back to VF but I'm still mostly AWOL....LOL. This time I used tofutti slices in the quesadillas, the mozzarella one. I've also used the american. And sometimes I use Follow Your Heart, either cheddar or mozzarella.

That fig spread you've been eating sounds good. Is it store bought? if so, what's the brand name?

Today:

2 bowls of kashi triple berry crisp cereal w/ soymilk
glass of oj
ww pasta w/ mock ricotta and sauce
"chick" parmesan patty
mashed butternut squash.

S: snack-a-jacks, salt and vinegar flavour (i'm so addicted to these, it's unbelievable...)
L: vegetarian sushi snack pack from dashi and 2 slices sprouted wheat and raisin bread topped with pear and prune fruit spread - the no sugar kind ;-)
D: japanese style tofu fillet and coleslaw-salad made from; carrots, tomato, flaked almonds, sunflower sprouts, liquid aminos, cider vinegar, red pepper, sojade natural, walnuts, miso paste. Booja-booja stuff in a tub - hunky punky chocolate - for dessert. Mmm.

Drinks throughout the day: water with ice and fresh lemon juice, wild berry tea, chai tea, peppermint tea.

[Blueberries]

Breakfast: Toasted wholemeal bagel with buttery spread and avocado

Lunch: Green smoothie (spinach, ground chia seeds, berries, soya milk, grapefruit juice) and a massive salad with nuts/seeds/various fridge vegetables covered in yummy vinagrette

Snack: Oat cakes with chocolate spread and peanut butter and jam.

Drinks: Coffee with soya milk, vanilla tea, grapefruit juice, water

[twinkle]

breakfast: soaked almonds, peppermint tea

lunch: lentil soup with tomato, spinach and "ribbons" of carrot (my ex housemate showed me how to do these with a veg peeler - they're great becase they cook a little bit in a very short time but you still get a nice delicate crunch ), a small handful of salt and vinegar kettle chips.

Mid afternoon snack: Alpro caramel custard pot, clementine

Dinner: crackers and stuff! Ryvitas plus some lovely thin multigrain crackers, with either yeast extract or a silken tofu spread I made which had lots of garlic in - I now stink! and also some little gherkins

[Daffodil]

[Glen Lambert]

Made some scones. Ate them. Delicious.

[twinkle]

Did you have anything on your scones? Were they sweet or savoury? We need details!

[Blueberries]

Twinkle: I love those little Alpro caramel custard pots! And how is that garlic/silken tofu spread?
Daffodil: How do you make hot Marmite? Is it just Marmite + boiling water in a mug? Is it a bit like miso soup?

What I ate today:

Breakfast: Toasted ww bagel with avocado and buttery spread

Lunch/Dinner: Massive salad with mushrooms, roasted red peppers, more avocado, Redwoods pepperoni, ground nuts/seeds, hummus and vinegar.
Green smoothie with spinach (can't get kale here, I miss it ) and spirulina, fruit juice and chia seeds

Snack: An entire box of Celtic chocolate 'Choices' caramels (in fairness there're only 12 in a box, I could probably eat plenty more!).

Drinks: Coffee, roobush tea (with soya milk), water

[twinkle]

... how is that garlic/silken tofu spread?
...
An entire box of Celtic chocolate 'Choices' caramels (in fairness there're only 12 in a box, I could probably eat plenty more!).

...

The spread was pretty good, would have been even better if I'd been bothered to stick it in the food processor to smoothen it out, but what's not to like about tofu, garlic, cold-smoked rapeseed oil (my new favourite bringer-of-the-omegas), mustard and seasoning. Simple and effective!

Those caramel choices are great! I had to resist them the last time I was in Sainsburys because I'm on a diet and I'd have eaten the whole lot in a short time too! Have you tried the Celtic selection box? I keep hoping to see them on sale but they never are and I don't feel like I can justify about a fiver for something that size.

Yeah, I've been a bit AWOL too, trying to post here more often.

I got the fig spread at Whole Foods and it is Whole Foods Market Organic Adriatic Fig spread. They were all around the store (by the wine, by the olive bar, by the registers) between Thanksgiving and New Years in little glass jars with an orange top. I stocked up! Super yummy, you should look for it.

[Back-Space]

Made myself an... interesting... supper It was chopped up brussel sprouts, asparagus, corn, peas, and white kidney beans turned into a soup/stew kind of thing I was hungry and lazy so I just kind of threw it all into a pot and cooked it like that. It wasn't half bad though. The corn and the beans overpowered the taste of the brussel sprouts It was easy to make, nice and salty, very filling, and pretty healthy too

I'm trying to make tofu and spinach balls that I can bake for dinner. Well they were meant to go with my lunchtime salad, but I can't get them to bind very well, even though I stirred 50g porridge oats in while I was cooking the spinach, and I don't have any breadcrumbs. Does anyone know if ground flax would work as a binder? (I'm sure this isn't the right place to post this really, but it *is* about what I hope to eat today!

So far I've had almonds for brunch, followed by a big bowl of salad with some Finn Crisp rye crackers, and I've just had an Alpro black cherry yoghurt. Dinner will hopefully be the aforementioned balls, although I may bake them in silicone muffin cases if they persist in being soggy, and... I'm not sure what will go with that, maybe some garlic mushrooms.
