Noodles with steamed lentils*, broccoli, barley sprouts, tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, garlic and salt.

I so love mushrooms! I had smoked portabella and oyster mushrooms, sauteed on a bun with fried onions and BBQ sauce, with a corn on the cob on the side. It was sooooo good!

If you have a smoker, I highly recommend trying smoked mushrooms. This truly elevates the flavour to a whole new level. Even a chip-can in your BBQ works just fine. I just use a cheap Little Chief Smoker by Luhr Jensen. I will try smoking some seitan in it soon. It should elevate that flavour to new heights as well. I am addicted to smoke. lol

I found some vegetable "meat" balls in Sainsbury's, thought I'd give a shot at spaghetti and "meat" balls. Went way better than I expected... Yeah, there's a lot of spaghetti because I had the munchies!

Looked photo worthy :p

Looks yummy.
 
Chocolate shake:

Rolled oats (as flour), pepitas*(as flour), cocoa powder, peanut butter, whole dates (cooked to soften), mixed berries and a little bit of sugar since I didn't cook enough dates, and water - well blended.

*soaked overnight

Last night was just ramen for one. My hubby and son had already eaten so I just had to take care of myself.
 
After the food I had for breakfast and lunch I was not very hungry for dinner. I also took a nap today and was not very active outside of a brisk walk around my neighborhood.

Oil free Popcorn with a flaxseed/nutritional yeast dressing and a bit of apple cider vinegar and salt.
 
Last night, I finished my vegetable fried rice delivery (without egg).
 
Chopped tomato salad with onion and parsley, some hummus, baked falafel, avocado, and a garlic dill hummus dressing.

After the snack I had today(3..4pm):

https://veganforum.org/threads/snacks-in-between-meals.2436/page-2#post-12978

my dinner appetite was pretty much killed off, which was a surprise. All I'm eating are a few munchies: some grilled corn with salt and a few beers.

Edit: I'm also losing weight again, which has stayed the same for many many months (I have some to lose, not much). Not sure why this is...I've stopped habitually using oil (often on popcorn or for extra calories when I'm rushed making a meal to prepare for work)...and I've also made roasted barley a regular addition to my morning coffee as well as a drink occasionally between meals. More B vitamins, better energy metabolism? Just the oil? I'm speculating...it could be combination of both.

Dinner last night was a random hodgepodge. Finished off the rest of the baked falafels I made earlier in the week, then had some chai-spiced peanut butter spread on a tortilla with half a banana sliced and rolled up.

Last night, I had spaghetti with a sauce of soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.


Edited to add: before and after dinner, I had a smoothie (the same one) from a juice bar featuring almond butter and dates.

Burritos for dinner last night: "Wholewheat" (the stuff I can find at the store is typically 50% for flat bread)wraps with pinto beans*, Cos lettuce, raw spinach, mushrooms and a sauce made from onions, garlic, sunflower seeds and salt.

*soaked overnight in wood ash, drained and washed and then cooked.

I have to ash...about the wood ash? What does this do? I'm not familiar with this method.

It adds minerals and alkalizes the water that the seed/grain/legume soaks in. It is a form of Nixtamalization. Traditional Nixtamalization uses heat and wood ash or lime (slaked lime, not the fruit), to add minerals and loosen the outer seed coat (of corn traditionally, as it makes Niacin much more available), and then is left to soak overnight for further absorption.

However, just soaking in water + wood ash does increase mineral intake into the seed/grain/legume. Corn may require heating in solution for Niacin availability, I don't know.

Look up Nixtamalization:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization

I use wood ash (not lime), and have found that simply dipping 2 fingers into a bowl of ash then inserting them into the water is enough to turn it alkaline using a ph test for the amounts I typically soak.

Edit: It's important to note that the grain/seed/legume treated in such a way has the alkaline water drained off after soaking and the grain is rinsed - so only the minerals the seed actually absorbs are ingested. The oxidized minerals in the water and sitting on the seed are washed off.
