Today's Vegan Menu (2015)

[Scorpius]

This! Stick some more veggies on there (I do NOT get your love of lettuce.. Lol! It tastes like nothing!) but you did good! I'm proud of you, girly!!!

Lettuce . . . haha.
Today I did 8 oz of a fruit smoothie with breakfast! It wasn't as hard as I imagined it to be. I just did it and it didn't kill me!

 

[Moll Flanders]

I like lettuce too. Mmm, especially iceberg even though people slag it off.

Breakfast: Cereal with almond milk and mint green tea.

Lunch: Spaghetti with leeks, broccoli and vegan cheese sauce. I will make extra leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.

Dinner: Not sure, I have very little food left until Wednesday payday.
I think I have dried red lentils, a couple of onions, a tin of baked beans, half a bag of oven chips/fries and a few slices of bread. I don't fancy soup as I've had it so much lately.

B: oatmeal, soya milk, banana.
L: leftover spaghetti and sauce with mince.
S: an apple
D: "Mexican" meal with tortillas, guacamole, filling made from seitan, onions, red bell peppers etc. Also brown rice.

B- Hot cereal and coffee with almond milk
S- A homemade banana blueberry yogurt muffin and a sweet potato chocolate chip cookie
L- Sweet potato, coconut and winter squash bisque, and a handful of roasted squash seeds
D- Spaghetti squash and a slice of beetloaf

Vanilla soy latte from Starbucks
PBJ on this awesome flaxseed bread. This stuff is the bomb toasted.
Hummus and carrots
Trail mix (almonds, semisweet chocolate chips, raisins and walnuts)
Banana-chocolate smoothie, orange
I think dinner will either be Daiya pizza with fire-roasted veggies or pesto with pasta and a side of steamed green beans...either one will be accompanied by some wine or beer, depending on which way I go.

As an ongoing thread, I wanted to create a place to share the vegan meals we eat each day. Feel free to include photos/recipe links if you are feeling sassy.

Yesterday my vegan menu was as follows:

B- Hot cereal and tea
S- Homemade whole-wheat apple carrot sunflower seed muffin
L- Baingan bharta (Indian eggplant curry) with some seasoned beans I resurrected from my freezer
D- Sunflower seed mac and cheese, using a scaled down version of this recipe: Sunflower Mac | Post Punk Kitchen | Vegan Baking & Vegan Cooking

Today my breakfast and snack are the same as yesterday.
L- Homemade coleslaw (red cabbage, carrot, shredded cauliflower and green beans dressed with lemon juice, vegan mayo, spicy mustard, soyaki sauce and spices) and a side of black-eye peas

Dinner is still up in the air. I am thinking a nice easy veggie saute with some nutritional yeast and a homemade veggie burger from the freezer.

What is everyone else eating??

B: Oatmeal with coconut milk, bananas, sautéed apples, mixed berries, chia seeds, and toasted almonds
S: Protein shake with pea/hemp/rice isolate, coconut milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and a banana
L: Roasted Buddha Bowl - roasted cauliflower/broccoli/chickpeas on a bed of quiona and slathered in homemade vegan cashew cheese-less sauce
S: Homemade protein bar
S: Kale smoothie
D: Sweet potato and black bean burger on a lettuce wrap with purple cabbage/carrot slaw.

YUM! Can't wait to eat today.

This was yesterday, I give myself 2 thumbs up.

B: Strawberries w/ .5 tbsp almond butter, 6 oz almond milk yogurt, 1 c cooked oatmeal, 8 oz cashew milk (I didn't finish whole glass of milk)
S: 8 oz hot cocoa made w/almond milk, coconut water popsicle
L: Sandwich on 2 slices bread w/2 slices soy ham, cucumber slices, carrot sticks, salad w/2 tbsp dressing, pickles
S: Gluten-free pretzels

Tea, chocolate peanut butter cake (yes, I'm starting with dessert, hah!)
Marinated Asian grilled tofu with the leftover veggies and rice from the Thai restaurant I went to the other day (this was going to be dinner, but I think I will have it for lunch instead)
I'm still on the fence about dinner. I might have zucchini cakes with roasted veggies or maybe pesto with pasta and some sauteed greens.

 

[PTree15]

Veganwhat, here is the zucchini cake recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups grated zucchini (or yellow summer squash)
1 cup fine unflavored bread crumbs
Equivalent of 1 egg (I use EnerG egg replacement), beaten
2 TBS melted vegan margarine
2 1/2 to 3 TBS of Old Bay spice (If you don't want it too spicy, go with just 2 TBS)
4 TBS flour
1 small onion, finely chopped

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Shape into patties. (You may need more bread crumbs if mixture seems too wet.)
Fry over medium heat in a mixture of vegan margarine and oil or broil until they start to brown lightly. Turn once. Drain on paper towels before serving.

I like to make a vegan tartar sauce to go with these. Just mix Vegenaise with some Asian hot sauce and sweet relish to taste.

Enjoy!

This sounds similar to my mom's, that I always loved. She used the Old Bay spice. Are you from New England? My mom is from Boston, moved to Connecticut when she married.

Yep, I live in Connecticut and grew up in Rhode Island. Old Bay has been a staple spice for years.
