No effin' whey!
I keep meaning to try the chickpea cutlets. You gave me the recipe and I have it sitting there in another tab on my web browser but I *still* haven't gotten around to it.
A chesnut and mushroom pie with a baked sweet potatoe and sauteed mushrooms. Diced raw fennel for a starter.
Red berries and a soya yogurt for dessert.

Lol, so many options. I love it when people ask me "what" I eat as a vegan. I will go on for a good 10 minutes unless they stop me.
Tonight I am having vegan pizza and maybe some beer. Dessert will likely be those awesome bourbon cream cookies that my Secret Santa (AeryFairy) sent me. I am trying not to eat them all in one sitting.
Deep fried tofu with leftover wholwheat spaghetti and steamed sweet potatoes and bs. Grated carrots.
A persimmon and kiwi salad for dessert.

Last night was whole wheat (cheese-less) pizza with a base of Thai green curry sauce topped with shallots, garlic, mushrooms, green bell pepper, spinach and caramelized banana

I went to a local Mexican restaurant with my friend. They have a lot of vegan options, and can make vegan substitutions on pretty much everything on the menu. We got the vegan enchilada special, a blue corn tortilla filled with spicy tempeh crumbles, daiya cheese, scallions, avocado and I forget what else. It was topped with salsa verde and tofutti cream cheese, plus we had sides of rice and black beans, blue corn tortilla chips and salsa.

Sounds good! I've tried to make dumplings before, but they came out heavy lumps.

I used this recipe: http://tofu-n-sproutz.blogspot.com/2012/02/vegan-chicken-and-dumplings.html
For my dumplings, I used white all-purpose flour, shortening (I have Earth Balance brand), unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of soy, apple cider vinegar, and I threw in the optional chives. I think I've read that part of the key to dumplings is to put the lid on once you've got them all in the pan, and don't open the lid at all until they're done. I dunno if that's really the key, but I did that and they were great.
In the chik'n part, I used the optional sliced mushrooms, and subbed in fresh green beans for the frozen peas (Husband doesn't like peas, and I've currently got a lot of green beans in the fridge.) I had a large shallot, so I threw that in, too.

I will try that recipe, thanks. I kept opening the lid the entire time probably. It's been cold here, so I would love to make some chikken and dumplings.

Tomorrow (today for Freesia) is New Years Day, so here is a US southern tradition to bring luck and prosperity in the New Year--eat black eyed peas!
The practice of eating black-eyed peas for luck is generally believed to date back to the Civil War. At first planted as food for livestock, and later a food staple for slaves in the South, the fields of black-eyed peas were ignored as Sherman's troops destroyed or stole other crops, thereby giving the humble, but nourishing, black-eyed pea an important role as a major food source for surviving Confederates.Today, the tradition of eating black-eyed peas for the New Year has evolved into a number of variations and embellishments of the luck and prosperity theme including:Served with greens (collards, mustard or turnip greens, which varies regionally), the peas represent coins and the greens represent paper money. In some areas cabbage is used in place of the greens.Cornbread, often served with black-eyed peas and greens, represents gold.For the best chance of luck every day in the year ahead, one must eat at least 365 black-eyed peas on New Year's Day.Black-eyed peas eaten with stewed tomatoes represent wealth and health.In some areas, actual values are assigned with the black-eyed peas representing pennies or up to a dollar each and the greens representing anywhere from one to a thousand dollars.Adding a shiny penny or dime to the pot just before serving is another tradition practiced by some. When served, the person whose bowl contains the penny or dime receives the best luck for the New Year, unless of course, the recipient swallows the coin, which would be a rather unlucky way to start off the year.The catch to all of these superstitious traditions is that the black-eyed peas are the essential element and eating only the greens without the peas, for example, will not do the trick.
Popular Ways to Serve Black-Eyed Peas
Even most avid fans of black-eyed peas will concede that enjoying the flavor, frequently described as nutty, earthy and buttery, is an acquired taste. Whether to enhance or disguise the flavor, depending on your point of view, there are several popular ways to serve black-eyed peas, other than as a simple side dish..." http://gosoutheast.about.com/od/restaurantslocalcuisine/a/blackeyedpeas.htm
