What did you eat today? (13)

[veganwitch]

Aren't those delicious? I bought Twilight, Jokerz, Buccaneer, and Mahalo bars for my husband for Christymas, and then made him share

OMG...I can't stop eating them! I found them at a health food store that is an hour away from us. So I bought 4 of each kind. My hubby only likes the Mahalo ones. He thinks the others are too sweet, so more for me!!!!!!!!

couple of glasses of very vanilla soymilk
2 clementines
ww pita bread w/ spicy garlic hummus

Blueberries- The cheese cake was nice..v sweet and the topping was probably the nicest thing about it...the base and the dairyfree filling was a strange texture..base very moist and strange taste.
Think I will try to make my own to compare.

So far today I've had:

B- Jalapeno Houmous on toast, coffee with soy milk
snack: 10 Walnuts and more coffee
Lunch: carrots, green pitted olives, cherry tomatoes, baby gem lettuce and more Jalapeno houmous

For dinner I'm planning to have some mashed root veg and mango and passion fruit dairy free chesse cake after with a cup of tea using rice milk.

Thanks for the report Interesting, was the base a biscuity base or was it pastry? Glad you enjoyed it, I may do what you're doing and make my own instead. It's great that there's dairy-free cheesecake commercially available though. I've had the quiche made by the same company, basicly the savoury version of the cheesecake and it ws nice, but again the base was strange.

Today

Breakfast: Cinnamon and raison bagel with peanut butter and raspberry jam

Lunch: In my bento- Leftover blue tortilla with refried beans and salad

Snack: Bag of Hunky Dory salt and vinegar crisps (sent over from Ireland)

Dinner: Leftover mashed potato with broccolli, baked beans and mushroom paté

Snack: Mr Kipling apple and blackcurrant pie (which is, surprisingly, vegan!), Plain yogurt with half a chopped banana, agave syrup and cinnamon. Amaretto chocolate mini-egg (Lidl are getting in Easter stuff!)

Drinks: Water, strawberry soya milk, coffee with soya milk

[BlackBow]

I had a sandwich with Italian bread, pickles, lettuce, mustard, ketchup with lay's potato chips.
Very yummy!

[Festered]

I've been boring today too.
Breakfast-coffee with creamer.
Lunch-huge garden salad with balsamic dressing and vegan mayo
Dinner-stir fry with a few noodles mostly just veggies mushrooms stock and chilli spicy sauce
Snack-popadum and pesto.

results from potato waffle investigation:



Twinkle: I'm pretty sure what you're referring to is like the smiles, but in the shape of a waffle? If that's the case, you're right. I've never seen those here.
I am excited to try the smiles though! I've never had them before.

[veganwitch]

^^^ I've never tried the smiles either. I've had those waffle fries, but didn't Twinkle say they go in the toaster? I thought they'd be something different??? Do those smiles go in the toaster???

[Risker]

The smiles look about right, they're basically just mashed potato formed into a grid shape. You can cook them in the toaster but not sure it's a good idea if you don't want grease build up in there. They're usually fried or grilled (broiled).

[BlackBow]

I LOVE smiley fries! I have been eating them for years, ever since I was a kid. I never knew they were vegan
until I went vegan. They are delicious! They can be cooked in the microwave, deep fried, or in the oven.
But I make them in the oven because they taste the best that way. Set the oven for 450 and put
them in there for about 7 minutes and they're done. So yummy

[veganwitch]

^ Thanks for the cooking tip. I'm going to get some smiley fries over the weekend

Blueberries - It didn't seem biscuity or pastry to me..more like spongey and fell apart really easily..but yes good to know it can be brought commercially if you need a quick fix. not sure I would like the quiche version..I haven't tasted a good cheese substitute yet but to be fair I'm a new vegan.

Heya Rooey, now I'm curious about sunflower seed milk! Is it nice? Do you make it yourself or do you buy it?

[Rooey]

I made it myself, Blueberries! I got my 'milk' maker device out which grinds everything up and makes it for you It is quite nice, and you can always add sweetener if you need it.

[veganwitch]

Wow is that real?? I've never heard of anything like that! The closest thing I've had is vanilla rooibos which is gorgeous

Oh, it's quite real alright. I found it at a health food store. Now I wish I bought more than one. I can't get back there till the weekend so I hope they will still have it. I think it was leftover from Valentines' Day. The company is The Republic Of Tea
