Mmmm, sriracha!
I will be eating lots of leftovers. I went out to eat twice over the weekend.
I have leftover Mexican (a salad topped with brown rice, refried beans, guacamole, mango corn, onions, hot pepper and pico de gallo).
For dinner, I will eat the other half of my veggie burger and the rest of the fries.
Right now, I'm having iced coffee and rice cakes with peanut butter.

Pear, cinnamon, banana, macca & tahini smoothie - yum!

A kale & veggie salad with a turmeric & apple dressing.

A banana and some "Fig-a-licious gluten free vegan tart" for snack (I am so chuffed with this one - a new recipe creation, it's so delicious!)...

And dinner still to come... yey! My husband is taking me out this evening, so something deliciously vegan that I didn't have to cook myself to follow. Can't wait.

That looks awesome, Trinity!

Today:
Clif Builder protein bar, soy vanilla latte from Starbucks
Orange, banana, apple
Not sure about dinner yet. I think I want a veggie burger of some type with a nice salad and some roasted potatoes.
Banana-peanut butter ice cream for dessert if I have room. :D

Oh today has been such a bad food day...I mean, unsatisfying. Been too busy and just snacking to stave off hunger

So far I've had
- toast with peanut butter and molasses
- toast with kidney beans and vegenaise
- some wasabi seaweek snacks

I've cleaned and cut up a leek...but am debating what to do with it.... It's a snowy day so might make soup. Snow on the first day of "spring." How ironic.

I have to try that toast idea. That sounds delicious!
 
I'm apparently in some sort of time-warp groove where I tend to have something dinnery for breakfast, and something breakfasty for dinner.

Breakfast: brown rice cooked with the rest of the green lentils I cooked earlier this week, some ground flax seeds adding some omega-3 fats, garlic, fresh broccoli and parsley added at the end, and a bit of Ragu vegan tomato sauce (I'm pretty sure it was vegan... I read the label...). Water to drink.

Lunch: I did a small test recipe of a vegan cookie I'm inventing: all-purpose and whole wheat flour, soybean oil, sugar, grated fresh apple. I ate a few of them- okay, this was more of a snack- my breakfast was very substantial! I burned off some calories by walking to the library.

Lunch/dinner: while I was baking cookies, I also finished baking some butternut squash which I hadn't baked long enough the first time around (there weren't many cookies so there was plenty of room). I'll have some of that, and I dunno what else.

Anyway, with a bit more recipe-tweaking, I think my cookies will soon be ready for company (and probably healthier than most commercial brands).

I had a (super fun) weekend of really junky food + lots of faux meats so I'm a bit sick of it all. Back to simple food for the next little while.

Breakfast: Oatmeal + blueberries +almond milk + a bit of chia seeds
Lunch: Brown rice with beans, shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, with sesame garlic ginger dressing
Dinner: Chinese yellow coconut curry with edamame, broccoli, carrots and potato

I had a rather junky but fun-food weekend as well, so today it's back to fresh and whole foods.
Half a grapefruit, handful of walnuts, tea
Salad of spinach, carrots, beets, broccoli, onions, kidney beans and corn topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Dinner will be a chickpea flour omelet with spinach, olives, Daiya shreds, tomatoes, red peppers and hot sauce.

All these delicious healthy meals guys. How cool.
I am in one of those - 'I really fancy something different, but I don't know what to have' kinda moods!
I think I want some vegan pakoras, but I really don't feel like figuring out how to make them.

That sounds really delicious - how do you make it?

I have to find my recipe, but I basically saute all the veggies in a little bit of olive oil until they are crisp-tender. Then I mix the flour with some spices (sometimes Italian seasoning, other times cajun-type spices) and soy milk and pour it over the veggies in the pan and sort of shape it into a big pancake. I cook it until it gets firm and a little fluffy. I flip it to get both sides browned. Then I put the Daiya on top and let it melt a little. Transfer to a plate and top with hot sauce.

That good - I am sure I can whip something up along those lines. Chickpea flour is really great.
Thanks for sharing.
