I woke up very early and I'm hungry even though it's not even 10 am yet. I just made soup. Carrots, cabbage, yellow bell pepper and leeks with vegetable stock and a can of coconut milk. I have leftovers for tomorrow. I had a bowl with a buttered roll.
The last of the mole style pumpkin & black bean chilli with a huge sprinkle of lime & chilli seasoning/yeast flakes.
Mixed berries with extra blueberries/soya cream/stevia.
A mug of bramble & blueberry infusion.
I just found out that I can slice zucchini really thin and sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and cook in the air fryer...zucchini chips...sooooo tasty!
A salad ; gem lettuce, grated carrots, red roast peppers, strips of marinated, spicy air fried tofu, vinaigrette/pumpkin seeds/yeast flakes.
A couple of toasted coconut & almond butter delights.
A mug of bramble & blueberry infusion.
Thank you for asking, we did. It was very quiet as we aren't allowed to visit family (all of our families live out of town) and so I spent most of the day cooking and then we ate it in about 15 minutes flat.... so I don't think I will go to all that work again for Christmas. Loved the Gardein as always but the dressing was not the best I have ever made and the root vegetables had too much moisture in them. I think I will keep it simpler, as I love bread and gravy and so instead of making dressing I will just have extra bread and extra gravy. The mashed potatoes were great, so they can stay on the menu and I will do root veggies again but will make a smaller amount and will likely do it ahead of time so the whole day isn't spent cooking. A special dessert would have been nice, yet we were so full and I was so tired from cooking that it wouldn't necessarily have been appreciated. Simnett Nutrition made a great "sweet potato pie" on his channel last week and so maybe I will try that for a Christmas treat.
All day my honey kept saying.... why are you working so hard? it was a good point... and maybe a more thankful Thanksgiving would be snacking all day on fruits and veggies and some other treats (read... potato chips) and just enjoying time together instead of cooking cooking cooking. It is a holdover from turkey eating days as you couldn't have just turkey on its own and so you had to make all the sides that support that horrible habit.
I am thankful that we are well, I am thankful for this forum, I am thankful that I can chose the foods we eat, I am thankful we have now been vegan for 4 years.
