Not eating but shall be in the next several minutes... whole wheat folded pita spread with roasted red pepper hummus, threw on a few leaves of baby arugula & pieces of tomato, then three ripped-in-half homemade falafels, more tomato.... I'm all set. (I'll get snacky sticks & ranch in a sec)

And it's pretty much like I envisioned on the drive home.... LOL -- That was my last piece of foil, though....

Leftover mole chili with sliced seitan plus granary baguette and plant based spread.
White grapes.

A quick snack of hummus, Triscuits, and a slice of Chao....



I like this hummus way better than the Sabra of the same flavor. This was also on sale, so I got two... one for here, one for Jer's.

I brought home from work some very colourful mixed beans that the cook had added some herbs to (delicious) and some boiled new potatos and salad. I'm going to buy some spinach and cucumber to add to the salad. I usually add sunflower seeds, mint and lemon juice to my salads as well. Last night my wife and I snacked on Oreos, one packet mint and one packet double cream, while watching the second series of Lore. Not healthy I know, but we deserved the pleasure!

I'm going to have a lazy lunch ; guacamole with Sub grain lime and multi grain tortilla chips from Sprouts. These are my favourite tortilla chips.

Vanilla flavoured Alpro ice cream.

I'm invited for lunch tomorrow so will make a mince and lentil cottage pie topped with sweet potato and cauliflower mash.
I also have a bottle of organic red wine to bring along. Everyone is going to make a dish and bring some plonk.

Cold ASK vegan cheese pizza with mushrooms, artichoke & Olives. Mmmm my favourite pizza.

 

[silva]

I roasted some delicata squash and potato wedges.
I didn't care much for the squash, but both my sons did. I kinda hate it when others like things I don't....
The fries were delicious! I used some za'tar seasoning on some and it worked! I'm quite liking that stuff!

OK, kiddos! I figured it was now or never for trying those Lightlife chickpea/red pepper slices I bought on discount... so I made a sammich.

Two things right off the bat... they didn't smell like deli meat/cold cuts. Good! They're not slimy either... always a plus. LOL

So... caraway rye bread, horseradish mustard, Daiya provolone, red onion, baby spinach, Roma tomato, & two mystery slices....






Took a bite & I did not notice any sort of "meaty" flavor (yay!)... I'm sure I would've picked up on that immediately, I'm pretty touchy about that ****. In fact, I'm not really sure what they taste like... I have a lot of strong flavors there... but I think if I make more sandwiches like this, with lots of other stuff, using those slices as "filler" would not be objectionable. At least they don't squish out of the rye bread like chickpea salad. LOL


@Amy SF -- You said to let ya know when I tried 'em....


Ready for bite two. If my opinion changes, I'll be sure to amend this post. LMAO

ETA:

OK, there is a chewiness I'm not terribly fond of... I don't dig chewy... but it's not too bad. I probably won't make a habit of getting these, though.

Leftover seitan & red pepper, Madras style curry served with basmati rice and sliced bananas.

I'm pleased that I have more leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.

I was going to have a cup of chai with vanilla almond milk but instead made some ramen noodles. They're Mama brand and have garlic, chili and seasoning. Not at all good but with this stuffiness they sure sound good to me
