What did you eat today? (13)

[fondducoeur]

You should. These were very tasty...they are tofutti cream cheese based cooked in muffin tins with a crust made from graham cracker crumbs and maple syrup. Delish.

[Tigerlily]

Yum!

Wow, where'd you get onion rings from? I miss deep fried onion rings so much...

Myself, I had a different brand of green tea today that also had mint leaves for flavouring Very good. Toast again, and some potato chips I have such a healthy diet.

[twinkle]

Breakfast/elevenses - chocolate hazelnut brownie, a mince pie and 2 tangerines (or they may have been clementines...small and orangey, anyway).

Lunch - homemade wholemeal rolls with sauted mushrooms, sweetcorn and red peppers and smoked Scheese (the only flavour I like).

Afternoon snack - beanburger (was going to have it for lunch but the bread filled me up, so I took the burger back to work )

Dinner so far - another mince pie. Am thinking of making a chickpea-flour and mushroom quiche, I have some fresh thyme that needs using as well and think that'll be a nice combo.

Coffee and water for drinks.

[Kimberlily1983]

Ugh, I've got lots of school crap to deal with now and I've been procrastinating and in general avoiding take care of things and myself. Typical. So here are the things I've been eating, in my laziness and avoidance of preparing healthy meals, today:

I had chocolate cake with cold coconut milk poured on top (as "frosting", delicious) for breakfast. Yep, that's right.

For lunch I had some Mr. Noodles, cooked my way: I boil the noodles, drain them, then sprinkle on some of the flavor packet and mix it. That and a glass of cranberry grape 100% juice blend.

I fell asleep in the afternoon and did not snack on anything like I usually would.

For supper I ate half an avocado, some celery and hummus, and a pomegranate.

For my evening "snacks" I had chips with guacamole and salsa, some chocolate, a couple of cans of pop, and some fries with mushroom gravy and ketchup.

Ugh, not exactly a balanced diet! Though there are some healthy foods mixed in there, and sadly this is much better than some of the omnivores I know do.

[veganwitch]

Wow, where'd you get onion rings from? I miss deep fried onion rings so much...

I got them out of my freezer....LOL. They are Ore-Ida brand. Hardly heatlhy but they are vegan. I seriously love deep-fried stuff, especially french fries and onion rings. They are one of my vices...LOL.

Today I had:

1/2 small watermelon
2 flax waffles
strawberry-banana soy yogurt
bowl of vegetable soup
roll with earth balance
tofurkey sandwich with vegenaise, stuffing, cranberry sauce
teas (black, eyebright, pomegranate-cherry green)

Now THAT is a breakfast....YUM!!!

[Back-Space]

Sounds like my type of day Except for the chocolate cake... Where do you get your hands on that stuff? You've got school tomorrow morning don't you? It's gotta be 3 or 4 in the morning over there. Better get that homework done

It looks like you've got quite the healthy diet A few fries and onion rings wouldn't hurt. I'm going to have to hit the grocery stores tomorrow and see if I can find those onion rings I miss those almost as much as I miss pizza.

[Kimberlily1983]

tofurkey sandwich with vegenaise, stuffing, cranberry sauce

Ooh, wish I had one of those now!

Sounds like my type of day Except for the chocolate cake... Where do you get your hands on that stuff?

I make it myself. Fairly simple recipe (takes maybe 5 mins., 10 tops to assemble), pop in the oven for 40 mins. or so, and tada.

You've got school tomorrow morning don't you? It's gotta be 3 or 4 in the morning over there. Better get that homework done

Haha, it's 2:30 on the dot, and yes I have class tomorrow afternoon (or rather this afternoon now), and I have a 5-8 page paper to pass in that I have not started, and I want to rework my manifesto a bit.

I'm the queen of procrastinating... Sigh.

[Back-Space]

Lol. 10 minutes?... I dunno... That seems like a lot of work for some cake 2:30? Planning on getting any sleep tonight? Maybe Veganwitch can help you write your paper

[veganwitch]

I'm the queen of procrastinating... Sigh.

I am LMAO....I see that in the time I've been away from VF you've acquired my crown. I AM THE QUEEN OF PROCRASTINATING.....HAHAHA. Seriously, I did the same thing in college. It would be the night before a paper was due and I didn't have it started. Worse than that, a few times I hadn't even read the book yet....LOL.

I'm replying in bits and pieces because I can't seem to find the multiple quote button....HAHA. It's great to see this thread active again!!!

Glad you think I eat pretty healthy. I'd stopped posting on this thread for a long time because I was eating like crap or barely eating at all. So this is an improvement. I hope you can find the onion rings!!! I love pizza too. I just make my own and use soy cheese....great, now I'm craving a pizza....LOL.

[Back-Space]

Lol. I rocked college. I had assignments done a week after they were assigned And I got amazing grades. Not quite sure what the change was from highschool. I went from 55-65%, skipping several classes a week to finishing with a 4.06 GPA at college

[Kimberlily1983]

Planning on getting any sleep tonight?

Um, it's looking like no. Maybe a couple of hours. Or a half hour. LOL.

It would be the night before a paper was due and I didn't have it started. Worse than that, a few times I hadn't even read the book yet....LOL.

Oh, yeah, I do this every time. Every time I mean not to, but I do it anyway.

Though I can't say I don't read the book - that part I'm good at staying on top of! I almost always have my readings done on time, or ahead of time... The papers, though, nooo, never.

[veganwitch]

Maybe Veganwitch can help you write your paper

Well, Veganwitch would if she wasn't just as bad a procrastinator...HAHA. Plus, I've gotta get to bed here. I've been staying up till 3-4 am and it's wrecking havoc so I'm turning in early.

[Kimberlily1983]

I've been staying up till 3-4 am and it's wrecking havoc so I'm turning in early.

I've been doing this lately, too. I always say my body operates on a 26 or so hour day: I find myself wanting to go to sleep about an hour or two later each night. So I find I can never keep on going to bed at a reasonable hour. Very annoying!

[Back-Space]

Lol Suckers. It's not even midnight here Make sure you don't pass out during your presentation tomorrow Kimberlily It would be hard to argue that veganism is healthy.

[Kimberlily1983]

Meh, I can handle skipping sleep for a couple of nights... though I'm finding the older I get, the more this capacity seems to be fizzling out... Getting older sucks, haha.

But seriously, I should log out now, and stop watching old clips of The View on YouTube, haha, and get down to business! So I will talk to you guys tomorrow or later this week... or in another half hour when I decide I don't feel like working on my projects yet, haha.

Okay, 'night, people!

Lol, then I suppose we should log off too If you've got no one to talk to, you'll focus on your homework Good luck tomorrow. Night

im glad i found this thread! I think i need to start keeping a food diary to see what foods i need to be eating, i need to be more balanced

i've had tofutti and tomato w/ salt n pepper on Vitawheats, a can of pumpkin minestrone, two avacado/tomato/salt/papper on brown bread, and probably tempura veggies for dinner

I need to try an avocado I keep reading how healthy they are for you, but they just look so unappealing... I might pick one up today when I go out. Gotta get some more bread, some apples, and I need to see if we've got any vegan onion rings

[RubyDuby]

lots of coffee
pecans
orange juice
2 black burgers mixed into a salad with romaine, broccoli florets, blk olives and pickles.
toast with almond butter
baked tofu and fries

[twinkle]

I really like half a ripe avocado smushed up with a spoonful of wine vinegar and salt and black pepper on fresh wholemeal bread. Guacamole is good too, if you can find or make a vegan version (should be vegan anyway but a lot of shops round here put cream in for some reason).

[Gwydion]

Avo's are the dogs danglies! Excuse the expression. In a fresh or toasted sarnie = truly magical.

Coffee
Pear and Apple with cashew butter and other random toppings
Crisps
Rooibos tea
Millet porridge (soya milk) with clementine/tangerine (I also struggle to tell the difference), mixed nuts, coconut, chocolate ginger pieces and agave.
Possibly the biggest mug of hot chocolate known to man (+ Espresso chocolate) - is a 'day off'
Tea + 2 x hobnobs
Dinner will be some sort of rice noodle + tofu and veg soup (at least that is what it looks like - taken out the freezer, poor memory)
Water when needed

[Back-Space]

Can you just eat them the way they are, or do they need to be prepped? I'm a bit of a picky eater so I don't eat much Maybe if I could make a dip for my potato chips...

[felix_amborosa]

Avocado and vegemite on toast is delicious...nom nom nom. Or using mashed up avo as a spread on salad sandwiches/wraps with plenty of beans

[twinkle]

If you get a good one they're passable as is, but they're kind of bland. They're more of a texture food, though the flavour can be really good with other things.

[Back-Space]

I'll have to pick one up then I walked all the way to the grocery store today but decided on some grapes and apples instead. And I looked for onion rings but couldn't find any I'll have to go to the other one tomorrow and see what they have.

[veganwitch]

Hi VW

(I'd also like to express my love of avocados!)

green tea
lentil soup
garlic toast
espresso w almond syrup
salad with broccoli, carrots and hummus
grilled cheese and tomato
French onion soup

[TXvegan]

Avocado lovers unite! My 2 year old thinks it's the best food ever.

Breakfast today was a Lara bar, Cherry Pie, and a cafe au soy. I am so happy that Costco sells them in a multi-pack.

Lunch is a treat, as I normally eat at my desk, but today's special is loaded vegan chili dogs at the vegetarian restaurant in town, so I've convinced a colleague to go.

Dinner will be stewed aubergine, tomatoes, and onions over brown rice.

[veganwitch]

Hiya Moondance !!!

French onion soup

Did you make that yourself?? That was one of my favorite soups...Mmmm!

[RubyDuby]

yes, homemade. I can't stand canned soups anymore for some reason and it's hard to find vegan restaurant soups around here.
It's my bf's favorite so now that soup weather is here I have a feeling we'll be eating it a lot!

Homeade soups are where it's at. Trying to get my lazy self around to making some. My man made a homeade vegetable soup recently but I've been buying store bought.
You wanna point me in the direction of that recipe??? Or did you just wing it?

[RubyDuby]

It's kind of just winged or wung but basically slow cook a coupla chopped vidalia onions in a little olive oil, covered over med heat until caramelized. Then add a splash of vegan worcestershire sauce if we have it (which we almost never do so I just use soy) and vegetable broth. I use the Better Than Beef bouillion. Then add a tsp of sweetener (brown sugar here)and salt & pepper.

[Back-Space]

I had a bagel with some margarine, I'm going to get some fruit in a few minutes, then thinking of hiking down to the grocery store again 6km one way. It'll be enough exercise for the week << I love the new cross-eyed smilies by the way

[RubyDuby]

I live 4 doors down from the nearest grocery store, but the thought of cleaning the snow off my car is too daunting to think about. You are ambitious!

Thanks, sounds simple enough. Did you put the bread and cheese on top?? That's my favorite part...lol.
Right now getting off the couch is too daunting to think about...haha.

[RubyDuby]

The bread and cheese is my favorite part too! When there happens to be Daiya in the fridge I might throw in some croutons and cheese on top, but never as good as the baked restaurant version! Usually we just eat it as is. Lazy.

Lol, I'm laughing in Alberta It's still like -10 out which is warm enough to walk around all day. I used to live in London, Ontario, and they've been snowed in for the past 2 days We've got lots of snow, but we've also got blue skies and clean street Suckers.....

[Back-Space]

Oh and I gotta ask. How does the vegan cheese taste in relation to dairy cheese? I was thinking of buying some, but it's quite expensive. I tried a veggie burger once thinking it may taste relatively the same as a real burger(back when I was an omni) but I had to soak the thing in ketchup to finish it

[RubyDuby]

I haven't had cheese in almost 6 years, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It really depends on the cheese. I like FYH vegan gourmet cooked, but not so much raw. Daiya is delicious. Everything else is pretty gross.

[Back-Space]

I was eating broccoli the other day, on its own, and I couldn't help thinking how much better it would taste with some melted cheese. And I'd love to make a pizza, especially if the cheese tastes good. Then I could make it when my family comes over

[RubyDuby]

Someone I know who recently went vegan hates Daiya on pizza. She used too much and it went all watery. She does love it in sandwiches, etc. I think it's really good on a pizza, just don't overdo it, and put the toppings on top of it.
