Today's Vegan Menu (2013)

[shyvas]

Welcome, spottygiraffe! I, too, am in that food-obsessed club. And the bread was indeed delicious. I made what my mom calls "Poor Man's Cake" for the people who do my hair. It's basically a spice cake with raisins, but it's almost as dense as a bread. They went nuts for it at the salon, which made me very happy. Now I want some for me, though, so I might make that, or a gingerbread, or maybe an apple dessert. Decisions, decisions.

Today:
Vanilla soy latte from Starbucks, orange
Pasta with spicy peanut sauce
Pretzels with hummus
Vodka lemonade (this is so delish)
Dinner will be roasted carrots, roasted rosemary potatoes, steamed spinach and a chickpea cutlet with dijon mustard. I'm also thinking of making mac 'n cheez for a side as well, but I probably should forgo that since I had pasta for lunch.
I also want hot chocolate. I want everything today!

Indulge ! We all have those kind of days, PTree.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm very happy to have found this place. I have already learnt not to read this thread when I'm hungry I am drooling at the thought of the spice cakes with raisins and gingerbread.

I made a version of Nigella's Norwegian mountain loaf for lunch using soy milk - it was seedy and really dense. It only took an hour or so from start to finish and was delish. Need something sweet now though -I feel a batch of vegan mince pies coming on.

ETA: Ok, I have to make that loaf. Boy, does it sound hearty and tasty!

Mmm that raisin spice cake sounds sooo good right about now.

Yesterday, I made some rather poor food decisions. It was a sitting around watching tv type of day too.
Breakfast: english muffin sandwich with fried tofu and yves bacon + leftover pizza
Lunch: potato chips baked with daiya cheese and sriracha
Dinner: half a pizza. Oh, not half a slice. Half a PIZZA loaded with daiya mozza and pepperjack, yves pepperoni, shallots, greens, and nooch. The dough was from a can.

You won't regret it! I used millet, wholemeal and buckwheat flours.

Dinner tonight was lentil & spinach curry with an avocado chocolate pud afterwards
