Today's Vegan Menu (2016)

[PTree15]

Your meals are always so appetising and healthy. Perhaps you should set up a vegan meals on wheels firm.

Lol, thank you, shyvas. If you notice, though, I don't always post my weekend meals, which aren't always so healthy. Plus, I'm usually away on the weekends visiting friends and family, when I seem to indulge a bit more than I do during the week.

That's what is all about - balancing healthy meals and a bit of indulgence from time to time. I also have some treats which aren't really what you would call healthy.

It is, and balancing it makes me really appreciate the treats. I'm lucky that I like healthy food . I know so many people who won't touch a vegetable. I can't imagine not eating vegetables. I love them so much.

Same here. I enjoy eating vegetables and whole grains. I also like desserts but actually don't enjoy over sweet stuff. I never add the amount of sugar stated in a recipe and usually add either coconut sugar plus a blend of Stevia and xliytol. (sp)

I, too, cut down on some of the sugar, depending on the recipe. I put in only half the sugar for my vegan chocolate mousse recipe. I really love the taste of chocolate, and it needn't be sicky-sweet.

Today:
Two oranges, vanilla soy latte from Starbucks
Lunch will be out, as my boss is taking out our department (there are just four of us) to Mongolian Grill, which has lots of options for vegans.
I will also be having a hefty piece of the chocolate peanut butter cake I made for the occasion.
Dinner will be something pretty light, as I think lunch will be my main meal today. I will probably have some leftover fried cabbage and maybe some steamed carrots, or perhaps a baked sweet potato with a touch of brown sugar and EB.

I've had a mish-mash of stuff today because I didn't have ample time to prepare anything last night:
Protein bar
2 oranges
Hummus with carrots and sweet potato chips
2 dill pickles
Apple with peanut butter
I'm craving Asian food. Might go out for Chinese, but if I don't, I have spicy peanut sauce in the fridge and I can have that with some noodles. It depends on how long work goes today/tonight.

Breakfast: my own salt-free whole-wheat bread, toasted, with some cooked pinto beans and steamed turnip greens.
Snack at work: some accidentally-vegan garlic bread, microwaved, and a persimmon. The persimmon was taking a long time to ripen, so I decided to eat it anyway even though it was still quite firm. It smelled faintly sweet. It didn't make my mouth feel furry inside, like I was expecting, but it was kind of crunchy and not nearly as sweet as it should have been. Maybe it was because it was imported from Spain and didn't ripen properly...

The rain in Spain makes growing persimmons for export a pain...

I think I want popcorn tonight.

Homemade granola (courtesy of a good friend!) with almond milk; iced coffee with almond milk
Orange
Salad of romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, cucumbers, green peppers, pepperoncini, red onions, green olives, walnuts and raisins topped with Italian dressing
Dinner will be Gardein fishless filets with tartar sauce and some leftover sides: mashed squash with maple syrup and brown sugar and fried cabbage and a glass (or two ) of red wine.

I ended up having banana-cashew butter ice cream last night, so I might have popcorn tonight.

Iced coffee with almond milk, apple
Spinach wrap with avocado, baby spinach, roasted red peppers, banana peppers, red onions, pickles and spicy mustard; carrot sticks
Banana with peanut butter
I'm undecided about dinner, though I have some leftover sides (mashed squash and fried cabbage) that I might pair with a black bean burger, or zucchini cakes or maybe some Gardein chik'n tenders.

I still haven't had my popcorn. I was too full last night.

 

[PTree15]

Banana with peanut butter, vanilla soy latte from Starbucks
Orange
Aloo gobi from an Indian restaurant near work; some work friends took me out for my birthday, which was really nice.
Not sure what I'm having for dinner; maybe some tofu quiche from the freezer, as I haven't had time to restock the groceries since returning from vacation.

English muffin with peanut butter and blueberry jam, tea
Banana-blueberry smoothie made with soy milk
Lunch will be a bean burrito with Daiya cheddar shreds, red onions and hot sauce and chips and salsa
Dinner will be chickpea cutlets with mustard sauce, steamed broccoli and leftover EB mac and cheez
I'm sure there will be some Ben & Jerry's ice cream in there for a snack or dessert. It's all I can do not to eat an entire pint in one sitting.

[PTree15]

So work got in the way of my making the risotto, so I'm hoping to try last night's planned dinner again (I ended up having a chickpea cutlet with carrots, broccoli and leftover EB mac and cheez because it was quick and I was starving!)
