Today's Vegan Menu (2016)

[PTree15]

Hummus with celery and carrot sticks; vanilla soy latte from Starbucks (a reward for a stressful morning at work after our computers were wiped clean and re-imaged, which meant reloading all of my backup files; the transition was not seamless, lol)
Quinoa and chickpea pilaf with olives and hot sauce; steamed green beans; sauteed Gardein beefless tips with barbecue sauce
Dinner will be a seitan pepper steak stir-fry with onions and green peppers over brown rice.
Chocolate mousse with fresh raspberries for dessert
This menu is short on fruit, lol.

I also really enjoy a seitan, pepper and onion stir fry served with brown rice.

That will definitely be on the menu if we ever get to dine together.

Today was a lost day, food-wise. I was actually too busy at work to eat! And I skipped breakfast, lol. I usually at least have some fruit or something.

I always like the sound of your meals. You make sure to plan ahead and include lots of different ingredients to make everything seem so appetising.

I wish I could find Gardein products over here as they are delicious.

Thank you, shyvas, I do enjoy variety. I, too, love Gardein products. They taste good and are so easy to prepare when I don't have time to make, say, my own seitan or nuggets. I even like the black bean burger, which is something I typically make myself, but in a pinch, the Gardein ones are pretty tasty, and they have a little bit of spice in them.

I agree, Gardein have a vast range of delicious products. My favourite are the lime & chipotle tenders.

Seitan is very easy to make as long as you have the right ingredients on hand. Furthermore, you can slice it and freeze it.
