What did you eat today? (13)

[Blueberries]

B: homemade bread roll, halved, with (I guess this is a bit odd!) Provamel chocolate custard spread over each half..

I never ever would have thought of doing that.. you're a mentaller! I'd say it's one of those things that's so wrong that it's right!

Today:

Breakfast: Weetabix with soya milk and seperately some natural Provamel yogurt with apple purée and some liquid sweetener stirred in.

Snack: Biscuits (specloos and chocolate digestive) with tea

Lunch: A crusty roll with salad, kimchi and houmous and again seperately a small container of nuts. And a lime Callipo ice-pop.

Snack: Three digestive biscuits and some chips (I was out for longer than I thought I'd be and didn't bring enough food!)

Dinner: Pasta with mushrooms, aubergine, courgette, carrot, broccoli and shallot covered in pesto, nutritional yeast and gomashio.

Snack: Few squares of cinnamon dark chocolate and two pieces of chocolate-covered frozen banana (don't knock it until you've tried it, it's remencisent of ice cream while being much cheaper!)

Drinks: Water, roobush tea, green tea

As usual I may have something else before going to bed.. haven't decided what though. Hasn't exactly been my healthiest day :/

Edit: I've just had a veggie sausage sandwich on white bread with houmous.

[Est]

B: Rice Krispies w/ soya milk and agave nectar
L: 2 M&S rice, lentil and aubergine (with garlic dressing) pots. 1 nectarine, 1 pear.
S: 1 M&S super shaker salad pot with lemon and basil dressing
D: This is where it goes a bit less healthy. 4 muffins w/ Pure spread
Lots of mugs of tea throughout the day.

Anyone want to send me a weekend vegan food diary? I've started a new page on SaveAScream.com as I'd like to read about full days of what people eat and think it would be good for any non-vegans to come and read too, to get an idea of what vegans eat. The page is at www.saveascream.com/yourfooddiary.htm. You can send in just one weekend entry - or if you want to do more than one that's cool too. If you'd rather do a weekday diary I'm open to having that - just thought weekend would be easier as most people have more time. Tell us what you eat and drink throughout the weekend ( a day at a time) in as much detail as possible. Email your diaries to editor@saveascream.com.

I know there's a 'What did you eat today?' thread on here - but I think it would be good to inspire non-vegans - not just fellow vegans on this forum - so would be good if anyone wanted to send a weekend food diary to me to put on SaveAScream.com

[twinkle]

I would, except I'm already setting a bad example with my breakfast today, which was a slice of lemon drizzle loaf! Maybe next week

[Clueless Git]

I have time to list my evening meals, if that helps ...

Friday (home cooked): Spinach, potato and mushroom curry (sauce of tomatoes, onion and Costco curry powder) on basmati rice flavoured with creamed coconut.

Saturday (take-away); Sweetcorn soup, crispy fried aubergine, veg-chicken satay skewers, sweet and sour veg-ribs, green beans in black bean sauce, ju-yim mushrooms, singapore noodles and mixed veg fried rice.

Sunday (home cooked): Deep filled veg-mince pie, french beans, carrots, broccoli and roast potato with roast veg gravy, possibly apple and herb stuffing on the side.

[Blueberries]

[emmapresley]

banana and massive coffee
eqting a big bowl of chickpea, kale cabbage sweet potato stew.
were meant to be having a sort of sunday dinner later, if i dont mosh my way through this ill be able to fit it in

howd you make your cashew and carrot spread twinkle? is it that one with the very fine chopping and a smidge of yeast extract?

we gave up on the idea of sunday dinner..i just finished off the ENTIRE stew and then i made some chips (homebaked healthy ones no really..) loads of mustard and some filthy cold tinned spaghetti (mmm...strokes thighs provocatively)

[ShariBlackVelvet]

Thanks blueberries! Twinkle - it doesn't have to be healthy. You having lemon drizzle loaf for breakfast makes me feel better for eating so many packets of crisps! lol. It's good to see we don't all have to be super-healthy all the time. Things like lemon drizzle loaf may appeal to any non-vegans reading than say cereal! Whether you eat lots of junk food like me, or have healthier stuff, I think it all would be good for the page. It'll show that you don't have to just be a certain way to be a vegan.

[RubyDuby]

and it's healthy!

so far today we've just gone out for breakfast at a place that offers tofu scramble, although every time we go we end up with another waitress who's never had someone order it before! We have to go more often to keep the tofu available there... it isn't even on the menu!
Also, coffee with soy milk (they have that too!), breakfast potatoes and sour dough toast with strawberry jelly.

[twinkle]

Breakfast potatoes! I like the sound of those, even though I don't know what they are

I got up too late for breakfast and went out to the World Peace Cafe for lunch. I had a wrap with salad, tofu and grilled peppers and mushrooms in, and my friend had a "breakfast" wrap, which had veggie sausages, potatoes, tomatoes and mushrooms in, and we had a quarter of each other's wrap. I also had carrot, coriander and coconut soup.

This afternoon I've had a frozen mango Smooze and two jammy dodger biscuits. I've also just made a lemon drizzle tray bake, but it's only just out of the oven so too hot to eat right now! Looking forward to a bit of that though, and I'm having my dinner cooked for me by a friend, so don't know what that will be but looking forward to that too

the boyfriend made it from "veggie ham loaf" found at the Asian market. I believe it's the same stuff sold here. Good stuff!
Same place we get our bacon. They have the best bacon!

[twinkle]

how does the rest of the world thrive w/o homefries and tater tots??
...

Well, we do have potato waffles! I should think they are equivalent to tots, and you can cook them in the toaster

[veganwitch]

Seems cruel and unusual to me ;-)

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out.

Vegan-bellydancer: Let us know how the cheesecake turns out! Is that the one you can get pre-made? I've seen it but I'm afraid to try it, I amn't the biggest fan of mango. It just seems like an odd thing to put in a cheesecake!

[Vegan-bellydancer]

BlueBerries - Will lt you know how the cheesecake tastes...yes it is a pre made-one (mama Cucina) I think their was another flavour but this one looked interesting, though you are right..
mango is an odd thing to top a cheese cake..but I love mango. Will probably try it tomorrow now as I had hash browns and more jalapno houmous instead

...although the cheese cake is calling
