i usually just eat a bunch of fruit and drink black coffee in the morning. today it was a mandarin orange, a gala apple and a banana. for lunch i'll have toast with avocado and a spinach salad.
see the "what's for dinner?" thread for many great meal ideas.
breakfast - cooked millet with coconut oil, flax seed meal,maple syrup, and cashew butter, and a spinach,pear, and chia seed smoothie.
morning snack - rice cakes with tahini-miso spread.
lunch -butternut squash soup and sprouted grains toast with mashed avocado.
afternoon snack - apple cinnamon walnut uncookies.
We haven't had it yet, but for dinner we're having kasha with caramelized onions, roasted root vegetables, and sauteed collard greens. And yay! for dessert a little blueberry hand pie.
No way I could fast until 1:00! I'm impressed by the will power there!
Not sure what's for dinner (although I think it will involve kale and a butter lettuce/cucumber salad), but I have some orange-pecan muffins baking in the oven...yum.
Breakfast: Optimum cereal with vanilla soymilk, coffee with soymilk
Lunch: Leftover Bulgar Adzuki bean chili with vegan cornbread & earth balance. Oh and some macadamia nuts
Snack: handful of toffee peanuts (aka peanut crack)
Dinner: barilla plus pasta with alfredo chreese sauce and sun-dried tomatoes, with broccoli, garbanzos, kalamata olives and onions, garlic, evoo, and thyme on the side. And garlic toast (made with freshly baked rye bread! OMG!)
Dessert: tiny slice of the vegan coffeecake from 3 nights ago. So good, even if it was just a nibble.
lunch: grilled cheese (Vegan Gourmet) on cracked wheat bread
snack: Luna Bar
Dinner: falafel sandwich with eggplant, potato, and all the fixin's (this was good)
Yesterday was much better:
Breakfast: plain soy yogurt with mango and flaxseeds
Lunch: grilled cheese, baby carrots and cherry tomatoes with dressing, sliced pear
dinner: afghani potato bread and hummus, kiwis
: I had a vanilla latte (soy milk) this morning, for lunch I had some rice noodle soup. For dinner I think I'm going to try to eat just some pasta with sauteed onions and mandarin oranges.
organic coffee with soymilk frothed in the Vitamix
Hemp Plus granola with rice milk
a Trader Joe's Vegan Chocolate chip cookie
a few apple slices
Lunch: leftover Veggie Gumbo with brown rice (recipe from Vegan Planet) with Louisiana Hot Sauce. This came out great--love the okra, must grow some this summer.
And I will probably have another cookie in a minute(hey, it's Saturday!)
Dinner: No plans yet, but DH has requested a repeat of African Groundnut Stew, from The Voluptuous Vegan--really delicious recipe!
I had a momentary burst of energy so I made a lemon poppy seed loaf that has tahini, sesame seeds, flax seed and apricots in it. Looking forward to having some with a cup of tea when it's done.
I've had two wraps... one with refried beans (I'm on a refried beans kick), mashed roasted potatoes, and salsa, the other just with refried beans and salsa. Apple juice, and a lot of watermelon!
Here is my refried beans recipe...
2 large onions
2 tbs soy sauce
4 cloves garlic
1 large can dark beans, rinsed well
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/8 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
I puree the first 7 ingredients together, then heat the oil in a cast iron pan. I fry the bean mixture about 7-10 minutes, stirring every now and then. This is great in wraps!
Breakfast: green tea, barley flour and flax meal pancakes
Snack: fruit smoothie with almond butter, flax oil, raw chocolate nibs
Lunch: minestrone soup, later a Think Organic choc/coconut bar
Dinner: root beer, sweet potato fries (VWAV), Christacular's yummy split pea patties, and a big salad with raw veggies and pine nuts. Yum!!
