Trader Joe's sells dark chocolate covered almonds rolled in sea salt that are just delicious. I decided on the bar instead because I have more restraint with it for some reason. If that box of almonds is anywhere in sight, I will devour the whole thing. :D

Today:
Orange; vanilla soy latte
Sauteed onions and green peppers with spaghetti sauce over basmati rice (it's a leftovers day); salad of romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, green olives, grape tomatoes, pepperoncini and red onions topped with Italian dressing
Dinner will be spicy tempeh sandwich on a roll with lettuce, caramelized onions and pickles; hummus and carrots

Unfortunately, I am the same and can never keep chocolate or goodies at home.:(

For some reason, I am good with a big bar of chocolate. I will have a square or two a day and that's it. But those nuts ... oh, they are so good. When I bake, I take most of the goodies to work and save a couple for me. :) I can't keep them all in the house, either.

I'm fine with plain chocolate and can keep it for ages. It's milk chocolate that drives me crazy.:(

Awww. It took a while to not miss milk chocolate. But now I so prefer the dark.

Had my regular smoothie for brekkie
Lunch: Salad with avocado
A cliff bar
Dinner: Turmeric and garlic millet with cauliflower in parsely & tahini sauce (a sort of experiment that turned out really deliciously)

Then I topped it all off with one of my lovely maple syrup hot chocolate drinks.... all my tensions just faded away :)

Wheat toast with Earth Balance and peach mango jam
Homemade trail mix: Vegan semisweet chocolate chips, almonds, walnuts and raisins
Spicy tempeh over a salad of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, pickles, olives and pepperoncini topped with a Vegenaise-based spicy dressing
I'm still on the fence about dinner. Maybe soup of some kind.

Wheat toast with raspberry jam (I am trying to get through a very dense loaf of wheat bread I made. Must tinker with the recipe to get it a bit softer, but I hate to waste anything, so toast it is :D ); tea
Spicy tempeh sandwich on sprouted bread with lettuce, caramelized onions, pickles, Daiya cheddar shreds and Vegenaise hot sauce dressing; potato chips
(I'm totally carbing out today!)
I'm not sure what I'm having for dinner. I just recently bought the cookbook Isa Does It, so I may try another recipe from it. The spicy tempeh I have been eating was an Isa Does It recipe. I am loving that book.
For dessert, I think I am going to make peanut butter-banana ice cream. I want something cold for my scratchy throat. :D

Nom! I'm out of peanut butter so no peanut butter-banana ice cream for me :-( I will have to live vicariously through you, @PTree15!

Breakfast: Tomato black bean soup & garlic sprouted grain toast
Snack: Apple slices
Lunch: Rice noodles with puffed tofu, oyster mushrooms, and green beans sauteed with green curry spices
Dinner: Coconut Red Curry soup with stewing tofu, eggplant and bok choy

P.S. I posted a new recipe on my blog if anyone wants to check that out: http://www.marystestkitchen.com/vegan-baked-black-bean-falafel/

What is puffed tofu, Mary ? I'm intrigued.:p
 
Shyvas, I think puffed tofu is deep-fried cubes that are lighter in texture on the inside. I don't know whether I've described that properly, but I find them mostly in takeout Chinese dishes, like fried bean curd and broccoli.

I see. I have already deep fried tofu but it didn't come out puffy - just crispy.
 
I've never made a tofu burger. I use mostly black beans or kidney beans for my veggie burgers. I will have to try a tofu burger, though. I think I would like it.
