Simple for me....dry toast and a little sorbet and almond milk. Between my sore throat, nausea, and stomach upset....and my partner has to have a colonoscopy on Wednesday and starting yesterday through today he can only have very low fiber bland food. no nuts/seeds, no fruits and vegetables, no beans, or whole grains/bread. LOL that's practically my whole diet. I have been feeding him white rice, potatoes, white toast. He's been complaining he is starving. He doesn't know just how much worse it's going to get, from someone who has been through this. Tuesday he will have to drink magnesium citrate and take electrolytes and stool softener to clean out his colon and won't be able to even have his bland food, only broth, clear liquids/juice, popsicles. And we have to travel Wednesday to the Twin Cities for his procedure as he refuses to see anyone up here. Sighs. What a crazy first of the year this is.
Wow, that sounds like a lot of prep. When I had my colonoscopy, I only had to fast the day before which consisted of clear liquids. I am such a whiner when you don't let me eat real food, lol. Did you not want to be around me then. Of course I had to drink the citrus of magnesium the night before which is really gross.
 
I have a lot of white beans so I will use those when I make the sausages for the first time. Call me crazy, but I will also be leaving out half of the spices because I really don't like most spices. There will be absolutely no sage, thyme, fennel, or smoked anything, Lol. I have no problem with salt pepper onion and garlic. Paprika is fine. Little bit of turmeric is OK. Absolutely no oregano. Haha...they will most likely be the blandest sausages on the planet and I will probably love them!

I so want to make that recipe using some tofu and processed mushrooms instead of beans with lots of rosemary!

That is strange because of over here you have to do the diet for a number of days. However, the liquid isn't as awful as the former one and you drink less of it. I wonder why the prep is so different ?

Not sure. I do know that some people do need to do several days because a one day fast doesn't work for them. A co worker went to have it done, twice in a few weeks time, but was sent home because she wasn't "cleaned out" enough. She ended up needing to do a three day prep before it finally worked. I've been very lucky. I've had three so far, over the years, and the one day has been sufficient.

I've made regular seitan a few times and always used tofu. I like the way it enhances the texture of it.

It is the same standard prep that they give everyone. I thought that it was strange that my cousin had a different one and she is also in the US.

A bowl of leftover Boston style baked beans with seitan plus a slice of hot non dairy buttered granary toast with Marmite.

Berries with yogurt/cream and stevia for dessert.

How much tofu do you put in? I have never done that.

Tonight's dinner is going to be soup, I think. I have cabbage, carrots and onions and potatoes and some leftover black beans, so I'm going to throw everything in the pot for a nice veggie soup. :D
 
A huge bowl of leek & sweet potato soup served with a drizzle of olive oil and a huge sprinkle of lemon pepper. This must be one of my most favourite soups ever.

A few chocolates for dessert.

A yogurt for dessert.

I was thinking of adding some of the seitan sausage to my soup as well. I have two in the freezer. :D

This is not the exact recipe I used because I did not use soy or chickpea flour (although it sounds good) but it was very similar and was definitely one of Bryanna Clark's recipes.
