[jamboxrock]

breakfast: two whole grain flax waffles w/ blueberries & syrup

snack: spoonful of almond butter

snack: peach soy yogurt, banana, diet coke

dinner: two riceless sushi rolls w/ carrot, cucumber & avocado, veggie lo mein

snack: two soudough pretzels, then I tried to make a green tea milkshake but either the tea was too warm or the rice cream was too soft or there was too much liquid or my blender doesn't quite chop ice, but I ended up with a sweet cold green tea vanilla-y drink which was nice too I guess...

Well, I got the Puffins the other day, and now I can say they're totally irresistable--like vegan Cap'n Crunch! Omigod!

Puffins from Barbara's bakery are puffy, crunchy ready-to-eat cereal; I've never had them. I always get the Shredded Spoonfuls instead.

[pavotrouge]

We have Puffins here too, only they are called different... I love that Capn' Crunch pirate!

today so far:

1 apple

1 banana

3 pieces of chocolate

2 sandwiches with tomatoes, sprouts and tapenade

8 stuffed wine leaves

1 depressed-person-serving of spaghetti with garlic, chilli and olive oil

[jamboxrock]

Yeah, Puffins ARE like Cap'n Crunch. It's been sooooooo long since I had the Cap'n that I didn't even consider that comparison.

yesterday...

breakfast: oatmeal w/ blueberries, ricemilk & agave nectar

lunch: lentil soup, pita & hummus

snack: a peach, smoothie (banana, mango & pineapple)

dinner: half a huge calzone (wheat crust, mushroom, onion, green pepper, broccoli, spinach & marinara), beer

a very healthy day! proud of myself. well, except for the beer... also a whole day without caffeine, which I'm trying to lay off of. I did get a massive headache though.

[BlackCats]

4 pieces of wholemeal toast with soya spread and marmite

Oven baked baguette with soya spread

Crackers

3 glasses fizzy drink

Chocolate bar

Vegetable Korma made with an entire can of coconut milk.
It was lush! I added broccoli, carrots, red chilli pepper and tomatoes. I also threw in handful of nuts and raisins. It was so yummy. I simmered it for about 2 hours and the sauce was so lovely and thick.

Swedish glace vanilla ice cream and two bananas
Green tea

[Gorilla]

coffee with soya milk

tofu burger with salad and vegetable chips
large piece of mocha cake

now i feel sick and don't want any dinner

[nervine]

its the tofu, seriously

i just had tempeh, red bellpepper, cucumber and some nuts

[Gorilla]

what's wrong with tofu? tempeh is much worse

[nervine]

from what iv read all soyproducts are very bad unless they're fermented in some way like tempeh and soysauce

[Gorilla]

i haven't read anything that's convinced me about unfermented soya so far. tempeh is one of the most vile vegan foods i've ever eaten

[nervine]

haha, but it's really lovely when u fry it in some olive oil and drown it in worchestersauce! actually i wanna marinade it in worchestersauce next time.. hmm

[tipsy]

Puffins are slowly taking over the world!

[RMS]

I love this thread! What great motivation for eating well! Which I didn't, really, but that said . . .

Breakfast: hemp waffle, strawberries and apple slices, two bits of GimmeLean veg sausage, and coffee with soymilk.

Lunch and dinner: a mashup of tomatoes, zuccini, orange bell peper, onion, garlic, and nutritional yeast simmered until a thick stew, with red lentils and quinoa added. So good!

Snack: half a vegan brownie . . .

That other half is NOT safe . . .

And I've been trying to (and succeeding at) drinking 10 glasses of water a day. I find it really keeps my anxiety in check.

Dinner yet to come....

dinner - cold pizza with peppers, artichoke, olives etc, peach, strawberries, another 2 muffins cup of tea
snack - water...and either a chocolate ginger biscuit or my 4th muffin

and dinner of course but not sure what that'll be.

[Yogini]

I just made a fantastic oat risotto. The recipe came from Yoga Journal, but I improved it by omitting the cheese garnish and adding mushrooms. Yum.

[Cherry]

All oats and no rice? Like porridge with mushrooms?

[Yogini]

Yeah! Trust me, it was good! It was shallots and garlic sauteed in Earth Balance, oats (toasted beforehand), veggie stock, pine nuts, reduced sodium tamari, lemon juice, and mushrooms sauteed in olive oil thrown in right before serving.

I do a similar dish but less fancy: toasted oats, soy milk/veggie stock combo, peas, carrots, Earth Balance, nutritional yeast, tamari, and cayenne. Oats are really good for you. These dishes are fast and hearty.

[pavotrouge]

today so far:

1 banana

4 chocolate chip cookies

2 bowls ratatouille with chickpeas + rice

[Cherry]

Hmm. Sounds like it could be nice Yogini (but without the mushrooms - yuck yuck yuck).

confession: I just ate 2 chocolate ginger biscuits AND a lemon muffin. Ooh dear. I've got too much of a sweet tooth at the moment.

[Yogini]

Hmm. Sounds like it could be nice Yogini (but without the mushrooms - yuck yuck yuck).

Well, yeah, if you don't like mushrooms. I adore them!

[Gorilla]

2 bags of crisps

6 hash browns with tomato ketchup

Chocolate bar

Lunch: 1.5 cups of leftover tomato, zuccini, lentil mash. At least ten choc. chip animal crackers.

Snack: a handful of minty dark choc. pearlies . . .

I blame the training I'm taking. It's in the middle of nowhere Queens and there's no fridge. Queens makes me eat chocolate.

By all means, post Aphrodite!

[BlackCats]

RMS - Weird I posted something the other day about animal crackers. I keep hearing about them and wondered what they were?
So I assume they are always sweet crackers like biscuits?

[bryzee86]

and update to what i've eaten today: had another baked chocolate and PB stuffed banana (whoops). we had wholewheat pasta with sauerkraut, carrots, onion and garlic in a vegan cheesy sauce. This was followed by applesauce and soya yoghurt drizzled with maple syrup.

p.s. aphrodite - animal crackers are Orgran organic, wheat free, sugar free (and imho taste free but sawdust full) little biscuits shaped like animals.

[RedWellies]

I seem to recall Cadburys made/make biscuits in the shape of animals with one side coated in chocolate. Were/are they called Animal Crackers? I had those as a kid.

Oh, I guess they're not the same.

[BlackCats]

No I don't think thats what they are called - but I know what you mean RW - they came in a box and were shaped like animals. I used to like them - it was like animal-shaped choc-covered on one side biscuits.

I'm talking about animal crackers they always mention them in American films? Maybe they are what you said Bryzee?

I don't know why its bugging me so much...
