Delicious, what is tempeh 'tuna'? And "orange seitan"? They sound good. Could you provide a recipe, please? :psmooch:

[Delicious]

Dear Phoenix, I will provide a recipe :) It will have to be later though as I need to sign off. I promise won't forget! (Thanks for the affection...I need it right about now!).

[Phoenix]

Dear Phoenix, I will provide a recipe :) It will have to be later though as I need to sign off. I promise won't forget! (Thanks for the affection...I need it right about now!).

I have not forgotten! I am in the final leg of my finals and will be done after this weekend! I'll get to it, I promise!
No problem, Delicious. :) Best wishes for your studies - hope all goes well.

[Tigerlily]

Healthy enough? I eat a lot of snacks. I get hungry every 1-2 hours...does that mean I have a fast metabolism??

* Means organic, trying to get more organic foods in. Sadly, it's not even near all organic. It's just so expensive! Hopefully it will be cheaper in Toronto (more demand).

Breakfast
1 buckwheat waffle* with syrup
1 piece of sprouted grain toast* with fruit spread (naturally lower in sugar than jam)
Cup of tea

Lunch
Crispy fried tofu* over rice with soy sauce and plum sauce

Afternoon snacks, not all at once
Salad: baby greens*, tomato, red pepper, green onion, Italian dressing
Bowl of fruit salad
A couple of squares of dark chocolate*
Half a coconut bar*
Bowl of dry cereal

Supper
Veggie burger* (well, partially organic) with mustard
Cup of soup

Evening snacks, not all at once
Cup of tea
And...more food which I haven't figured out yet. I feel like a baked potato with vegan sour cream!

I'm really committed to eating healthier so I will post my daily meals here to help me see what I'm consuming and if anyone wants to give advice, post away!

Also had about 4 tablespoons of pasta sauce while preparing everyone else's dinner (sauce made of jarred pasta sauce, tahini, pureed kale and olive oil). I'm having a cup of chamomile tea next.

[thevegantwins]

I've been eating at least 1 or 2 meals a day that are raw. And I lost 7lbs since last Wednesday! :yea:

Breakfast today: raw hummus (this (http://www.thenakedvegan.net/showthread.php?p=39175#post39175) recipe) spread on raw red cabbage leaves, cup of tea w/ soymilk, banana

Anticipated eats for rest of day:

Snack: tea, kiwi, tangerine, pear

Dinner: green salad w/ red pepper and olives, spanikopita. I'll probably have a bite of the chocolate cake as well but I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake.

[Gliondrach]

Well done on the weight loss!

[Oracl]

I've been eating at least 1 or 2 meals a day that are raw. And I lost 7lbs since last Wednesday! :yea:
:cheer: Excellent! I really think that eating a high percentage of raw food is the key to weight loss (if this is needed) and then maintaining a healthy weight. :yum:

[thevegantwins]

Breakfast: fruit bowl w/ 1 tangerine, 1 banana, 1 medium apple, and about 8 grapes of which 4 were pilfered by my children. Tea w/ soymilk

Snack: Salad made w/ cucumbers, green beans, sun dried tomatoes, olives in a homemade vinagrette. Yerba mate tea.

Lunch: bowl of homemade soup consisting of homemade roasted vegetable stock, kale, green beans, and rice noodles. Also had about 1/2 cup of leftover homemade mujadara (lentils and brown rice w/ carmelized onions :yum:).

Snack: tea w/ soymilk, raw 'pasta' (thinly sliced zucchini marinated in olive oil, salt and lemon juice topped with marinara consisting of pureed sun dried tomatoes, tomatoe, basil, garlic, salt and olive oil), 2 organic hard candies (for my throat) and 1 dark chocolate earth ball.

Estimated Dinner: Can't think of what to have. I'll probably make grilled vegan cheeze sandwiches using the rest of the Cheezly I have for the kids and Mr. TVT but I'm not in the mood for that. Maybe steamed green peas and baby onions.

Actual Dinner: 1 bowl of kale, some raw and some baked. 1 piece of Ezekiel bread grilled w/ olive oil and sliced Cheezly. Later: 1 bowl of corn flakes w/ soymilk, 2 hemp pretzels and 1 bite of chocolate cake. Not the best night. :(

[dreamer]

What's Cheezly like?

[Gliondrach]

Are you still feeling under the weather, TVT?

Did you get the Cheezly in a food parcel?

[thevegantwins]

What's Cheezly like?
Definitely the best vegan cheeze I've ever tasted though I never tried scheese. Melts wonderfully.

[thevegantwins]

Are you still feeling under the weather, TVT?
:agree: Yes. Still congested and really tired but I'm dragging my ass to work.

Did you get the Cheezly in a food parcel?

:no: I ordered 3 packets from Vegan Essentials a few months ago. They sell the mature cheddar and mozarella now. It was pricey and while I did enjoy the Cheezly, I don't think I'll order again. I'm over any need for vegan cheeze.

[Gliondrach]

I haven't had any cheezly for over a year. I got sick of it. I might try some again.

[dreamer]

I know what you mean...I've had some Follow Your Heart "mozzarella" in the freezer for a couple of months because I just haven't wanted anything "cheesy." Maybe I should try cheezly if it makes a good sandwich...that's the only thing I've craved since becoming vegan--a grilled cheeze sandwich w/o any cow suffering:thumbsup:

[thevegantwins]

[Enchantress]

I think I shall have to make sure I put some more food in my tummy today :eat:.

That plan didn't work out too well.

Three small snack balls I made out rolled oats, peanut butter, chopped dates and orange juice.
One clementine.
One cup of rooibos tea.
Steamed peas and carrots and one spear of steamed broccoli.

Edit: I had a Linda McCartney pie too. So that's a bit better.

[thevegantwins]

That's not alot of food, Minxy. Have to keep up that vegan energy!! :strongman:

[Gliondrach]

That plan didn't work out too well.

Three small snack balls I made out rolled oats, peanut butter, chopped dates and orange juice.
One clementine.
One cup of rooibos tea.
Steamed peas and carrots and one spear of steamed broccoli.

Edit: I had a Linda McCartney pie too. So that's a bit better.

One whole spear! Are you sure you're not overdoing it? :whistle:

[Enchantress]

Eating only one spear of broccoli wasn't really my choice, my family had scarfed the rest before I got to it.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my attitude towards food at the moment :s:igh:. I end up feeling greedy and worrying that I'm going to balloon if I eat a "normal" amount.

[thevegantwins]

As long as you are eating primarily whole foods (fruit, veg, nuts, rice etc..), your weight will be fine. It's the processed crap that puts on the pounds. Both myself and a friend have been eating alot of raw food, including alot of nuts which are high fat/high calorie, and we aren't gaining weight, I'm actually losing.

[Gliondrach]

It's not greed to eat the food you need.

I just made that up.

[thevegantwins]

Morning: grapefruit, 2 slices of watermelon, apple, cup yerba mate tea, cup darjeeling tea w/ unsweetened soymilk, 1/2 avocado

Dinner: veggy burger, baked potato, spinach

Snack: salt & vinegar crisps

[thevegantwins]

I decided I wanted the kids eating more leafy greens. Sarah loves sauteed kale and garlic but Ben prefers raw veggies. They've been getting about 1/2 cup a day of either raw swiss chard, raw kale or raw baby spinach and it has been going over very well. They already eat raw carrots, cucumbers, celery, apples, oranges, avocado, bananas, grapes, cherries and pears. I wanted to increase their leafy greens. I'm so glad they like that food. I think alot of their joy in healthy eating is that they see me and Mr TVT eat the same. They also aren't poisoned by television commercials where vegetables are non-existent with kid meals.

[Gliondrach]

Good work, TVT.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Almost end of day, so EDITED...

Mmm, I'm a rather pig-ish vegan, so my lists of food might get quite long... :P :D

Woke up to two 'Rusk' biscuits, which I dipped in Soya Milk - they were yummy!

I also drank some Strawberry Soya Milk, which I found out that I don't like, so more fool me! And a little glass of Cranberry Juice!

For lunch I had some New Potatoes, a raw Carrot, and a roast Parsnip...and I had tomato Ketchup with the Potatoes, because I am a ketchup fiend!

I washed this down with a glass and a half of water, and followed it up with a chocolate Soya yoghurt. Yum!

Four-ish...

Gobbled down a few forkfuls of an Innocent Veg Pot, which I am savouring, as it is delicious!

With it I had half a cup of Lemon and Lime Tea, which was nice and warming!

Five-ish...

Apple and one and a half glasses of water...Mmm.

Six-ish...

More water, plus Soya Banana-Milk, which kicks butt!

Seven Thirty...

Gave in to wild side and played with mother's blender...perhaps not the best idea in forever, kitchen may never recover :P I made Strawberry and Banana Smoothie with Soya Milk; 'twas yummy, but perhaps too much banana and too little strawberry. I had about half a glass, before getting a terrible idea in my head, which was that it'd go amazingly well with Coco powder in it - which it didn't, so don't do that :P

Was so depressed about ruining the lovely smoothie that I had to go finish the Innocent Veg Pot - which was yummy, and drink lots of water. Woo.

Methinks that may be it for tonight...

[Gliondrach]

For din dins I will have either toast or my usual veggie stew. This will be spuds, carrots and Brussels' sprouts. And the new gravy powder I used for the first time last week. It's called The Natuarally Good Vegetable Gravy Powder. I stir it in after the veggies are cooked. Very nice.

[gabbles]

That gravy is delicious. It looks very light when you first stir it in but it darkens after a few seconds.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm.

Banana, water, and 20ml of Acai Berry Juice for breakie.

Apple for a snack

Ten water biscuits dipped in Weightwatcher's veggie soup for lunch...yumm.

Soya Chocolate yoghurt for a snack. Mmmm.

Small Bowl of Rice with Tomato Ketchup for din dins.

Two Rusk biscuits dipped in Hot Chocolate (Made with Soya Milk!) for another snack. Yummm.

A Wheatabix thingie for more snackage. No snacky fruit left but bananas, and methinks I shouldn't have one before bed as they might make me a tad bit energetic...

Not much fruit and veg today *sad face* But had lots of lovely cool water all the way through ^_^

[Gliondrach]

What - no cuppa?

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Nahh. Hate tea >_<

Except for fruity tea. Mm. May have fruity tea later now I'm thinking about it :P

I should probably admit that I do actually make tea...in order to dunk biscuits into it, because that tastes okay :P Ha! As long as I'm not drinking it :D

[Gliondrach]

You don't like tea?!!!!!

I love it. :hungry:

Chamomile is nice. With soya milk added.

What happens to the tea you dunk your biscuits in?

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Nope. Never liked it. I'm...actually one of these really, really annoyingly fussy people.

No way! Not the dreaded Chamomile! :P My brother and mother love that stuff, but I can't stand it :P Haha. Never tried it with Soya milk though? Maybe it tastes nice with that...I'll have to try it sometime, Soya milk seems to work wonders with things for me at the moment :D

Um...I'd like to say it goes to some wonderful cause, but unfortunately nobody I know likes sugar-free tea with soya...so it generally ends up down the drain...

But hey! At least I don't spit it at people! :D

(..though this is subject to change if people don't get off my poor vegan 'how do you get your calories' back...)

[Gliondrach]

Soya in chamomile takes away the bitterness or sharpness. I forget which as I haven't had it without soya for years. Soya also improves the taste of nettle.

Some people deserve having tea spat at them.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Hmmm, might try it then :D Though I'll probably procrastinate over doing it for ages...because I'm sad like that. Total whimp, even in the case of trying new things :P

Mmyes. This is true indeed. Those who make millions in the fast food industry for a start. If I ever see one, I'll grab some tea and get spitting ;)

[Gliondrach]

I'll give you an alibi.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Haha, thanks!

PETA should make it a campaign: The spit on people that make money out of murder campaign! ...though they'd come up with a far more snazzy title I'm sure!

I saw somebody on the boards use the words 'corpse chewer' to describe omnis yesterday, and laughed my arse off for the following hour or so. What a genius way to describe them...


Mm, I suppose here I should actually write something relevant to the thread, so here goes:

Today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice. Water. Vitamin Pills (Yay)

Late breakfast of a banana

Lunch was eight cute little water biscuit cracker things with a slice of fake burger cheese stuff, and a mini nut wafer thingie :D

*Insert drinking of water*

Annnd just got home and had a scrumptious glass of strawberry and banana smoothie made with almond milk - why have I never had almond milk before?!?!?! It's lovely!

Umm, might have more to eat later, probably, perhaps, mmm.

[Gliondrach]

I'll be having veggie stew soon-ish. I'll put the onion and potatoes in the pan to cook first. After about 5 minutes I'll turn the gas off and leave them to continue cooking in the hot water. Then I'll add a carrot and some Brussels' sprouts and turn the gas back on for 5 minutes. Then stir in some gravy powder. I will then spread marg and tahini on 3 slices of wholemeal bread and make sandwiches with the stew mixture. I eat the remainder of the stew straight from the pan. Saves on washing up. I just need to wash the pan, and the wooden spoon I eat the stew with. The plate that the bread was on just needs the crumbs dusted off and it'll ready for toast tomorrow morning.

Then I'll have 3 Brazil nuts and some raisins, and an apple. And 2 cups of Earl Grey tea with soya milk.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Yummm, veggie stew sounds good! I must seriously work on my cooking skill(z) which, at the moment, are equal to simply heating things up in the microwave; and sticking faluffle under the grill. Oh, and rice; rice, I can do :D

Mmm. I'll add corn on the cob with some spread and ketchup to my list, since I just had that for din dins. 'Twas delicious. Methinks my daily intake of ketchup, however, is very possibly equal to my five a day at the moment, so I should probably have a ketchup fast or something :(

[Gliondrach]

Or you could make your own with some freshly pureed cooked tomatoes, a dash of vinegar and whatever else it needs. Probably a bit of garlic and olive oil.

I learnt to cook and to darn my own socks at an early age. I'm prepared for anything.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm. Yes, this is probably a good idea :D

Ah...I am not prepared for anything. I lack skills in all areas, and it is likely that I shall never, ever be able to darn a sock :P

[Gliondrach]

Darning socks is very therapeutic. I used to belong to the Vegan Sock Darning Circle. We would meet in each other's houses and sit around talking and darning socks.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

That actually sounds rather nice :P

But methinks I know all I need to know, which is how to make hot chocolate, and shop for food :P Darning socks may have to come later in life.

I can actually knit and sew...but badly :P Haha. My mother dispairs of me and tells me how bad a house wife I shall make *sigh* Maybe I should marry someone who makes a lot of money (no need for sock darning) and eats raw (no need for cooking). :D

Mmm, must now add vegan hot chocolate and two rusk bickies to my list of food for the day. Couldn't resist the high calorie soya goodness...

[Gliondrach]

I've heard on the grapevine that someone is developing self-darning socks.

Stew nearly ready.

[gabbles]

Darning socks is very therapeutic. I used to belong to the Vegan Sock Darning Circle. We would meet in each other's houses and sit around talking and darning socks.

How do I join the Vegan Sock Darning Circle? :D

[Gliondrach]

It no longer exists.

It was disbanded after a bitter dispute between two factions of the circle. It all started one evening when we were darning and discussing the role that occult societies have played in world history. One faction claimed that Hitler had been influenced by the Thule Society and the other faction claimed that he had actually been a follower of the Order of the Golden Dawn and that he was also heavily influenced by the writings of Annie Besant. The discussion became heated and things turned nasty. Darning needles can be lethal weapons and some of us needed hospital treatment. I escaped with just a couple of stab wounds to my rear, sustained when I tried to flee up the stairs to safety.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm. Today.

20ml Acai Berry Juice
Water
Breakfast: Piece of Wheatabix
Water
Cranberry Juice
Lunch:Bowl of Rice absolutely drenched in ketchup...need to stop with that shizz.
Water
Dinner: Several celery sticks dipped in lots of chunky peanut butter...mmm. And a Banana.
Water
Water.

Nom. Nom. Nom.

[Gliondrach]

I like peanut butter. Haven't had any for ages. I like eating it straight from the jar with a spoon.


Today, toast for each meal but for dindins I made them into bean sandwiches. And had a beetroot with them. I've also had three apples today and quite a few hazlenuts, almonds and raisins. And tea, of course.

[gabbles]

Not much veg there Gliondrach.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm, peanut butter is rather good indeed. Am not totally sold on eating it straight out of the jar though :S I think it's best with lovely nutty brown bread...mmm. But it's good with celery, I have recently discovered :P ...though to be honest, anything tastes good if you can dip it in something else...or once it becomes the dip FOR something else :P Teehee.

[Gliondrach]

I quite like it on bread but not on toast - unless it's with a banana.

[Gliondrach]

Not much veg there Gliondrach.

No. I had a veggie stew a couple of days ago and plan to have another tomorrow - Friday.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

I quite like it on bread but not on toast - unless it's with a banana.

With a banana? Interesting O_o Never tried that :P

[Gliondrach]

Yes, a sliced banana and peanut butter sandwich. The banana is sliced, not the peanut butter. And the bread is sliced, too.

And banana on toast. But it's better on toast with tahini.

[Vinnie]

Banana on toast. :yum:

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm, might try that.

Discovered today the wonders of Rivita - used to taste gross to me, but apparently they now kick ass. V happy with discovery. Had V.sad day as friends taunted me with custard cream biscuits (which I used to LOOOOVVVEEE) so finding Rivita goodness made me all happy on the way home.

....kinda wondering if they're RAW? Am thinking of doing the thirty day challenge, and perhaps changing lifestyle again - just want to see the look on my mother's face :p

Mmmm.

Foodwise, today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice

Brekkie: One Wheatabix thingie

Lunch/Snack: Salad made of chickpeas, sweetcorn, lettice, cucumber, and tomato. Yum. Plus water. Mm.

Snack: One peice Rivita (woo) with vegan cottage cheese on top. Mmmmm and a half. Rediculously nice. Kinda think I have a massive love of rather bland foods, maybe, I am the only person I know that can eat that stuff...like ricecakes too...Yumm.

EDIT:

Dindins: New potatoes and ketchup...nom.

And hot chocolate. Mm. This is possibly the best vegan-friendly hot chocolate I've made. I've used Soya milk, Almond milk, and this time I used rice, which I think goes best with the brand of hot chocolate cocoa stuff I've been using :p

[Gliondrach]

You can't beat Rowntree's cocoa. I've had two cups today.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm, that might be the stuff...I will find out later, but am too lazy to walk all the way through the music room to the kitchen to find out at the moment :P

No hot chocolate today though...am trying to do an all raw day. Want to work up to 30 day challenge :P...hopefully...

[Gliondrach]

Music room? Is that the one next to the library, down the corridor from the billiard room, just below the butler's flat and directly above the wine cellar? Or is it the one opposite the ballroom? Couldn't you ring for the scullery maid to bring it?

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Ahh, not quite, and the maid's off today...

...I jest...I jest...

Every single person in our family is musical, so it made sense to have a room dedicated to the art :p It's supposed to double as a guest room; but I'm the only one that has people to stay. It's soundproof so when I have sleepovers they stick us in there and nobody can hear us from the outside. It's kickass.

We DO have a celler, actually, which we recently discovered :D (It's a new-ish house) but we don't use it... ...and I, personally, have a library...but it's basically the m-room attic stuffed with tons of books (I've been collecting since I was a little kid :p)

It sounds kinda big, but it's actually a rather small house >_>

[gabbles]

An attic and a cellar. I'd like to have them.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mmm, they're nothing special. I once had a pal who got his whooole attic to live in. It was kickass. But the best part was that we were also allowed to play in his celler, which was filled with different shelves of food...it was all dark, and quite cold, but we used to think it was this massive maze (we were quite young and small) in a castle or something - or the minator's maze!! 'Twas fabulous.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm, foodwise today:

Breakfast:
20ml Acai Berry Juice
Glass of water
Pear

Snack:
Apple

Lunch:
Three peices Ryvita lightly spread with vegan cottage cheese (YUM!)
Glass of water

Snack:
(Kid's) Planet Lunch Squeezable Fruit thingie-ma-jig; Strawberry and Banana Flavour - was amazing. Like Yoghurt, but vegan-ified.
Glass of water.

Snack:
Apple

That's sorta it so far today...tried to eat a date earlier. Have now discovered that dates...are disgusting. Ew. No wonder I haven't eaten them since I was a tiny-weeny child. Was rather dissapointed, since other people seem to love them long time.

[Gliondrach]

Mmm, they're nothing special. I once had a pal who got his whooole attic to live in. It was kickass. But the best part was that we were also allowed to play in his celler, which was filled with different shelves of food...it was all dark, and quite cold, but we used to think it was this massive maze (we were quite young and small) in a castle or something - or the minator's maze!! 'Twas fabulous.

That must have been good. I had derelict Victorian terraced buildings to play in. Until they pulled them down.

[Gliondrach]

Not much food there. I hope you have something substantial for dindins.

I should make a veggie stew but I can't be bothered.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

That must have been good. I had derelict Victorian terraced buildings to play in. Until they pulled them down.

O___O That sounds fun :p

Shame about them being pulled down! I love old buildings, they just look fantastic! Plus it's just so interesting to see how people lived in the past! I always liked going to older buildings and pretending I was from the different eras, ahahaa.


Foodwise:

Mm, snacked on a few peices of sweetcorn when I was making a salad, but was rather dissopointed to find they weren't as nice as the normal green giant bits I get...but these were raw, so meh...I'll adjust. Hopefully they'll taste awesome in the salad I made for this week!

Also had half a (massive) bowl of porridge made from rice milk and very cheap oats, aha. 'Twas really nice, actually, but I was surprised to find it so filling! Think I will make a half portion next time, since whole portions are apparently H-U-G-E(!) and just eat more fruit if I'm still hungry afterwards. Was wondering if anyone else makes porriage and puts anything in it, or on it? Maple syrup or raisons or something?

[Gliondrach]

In one old house I found a gas mask from the War. I don't know what I did with it. We used to take floor boards, chairs, settees and doors from the houses in the days leading up to Bonfire Night.

--------------

I had toast but I put slightly cooked tomatoes on top with cheezly and extra virgin olive oil. I cooked the tomatoes in a little bit of water until they were soft. The water had almost disappeared.

Porridge is nice with sliced banana. Raisins are nice, too. Or a few chopped nuts.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Oohh, awesome :p Gas masks are rather groovy - well, I mean, it's a shame we had to/have to have gas masks in the first place, but they're still really interesting.. :D

...Oh Em Gee: Bonfire Night! Almost forgot! I love Bonfire Night! Can't believe it's so close!

Yum! Sounds good! And I shall try porridge suggestions at some point...I have some raisons and nuts and bananas around here somewhere...

EDIT:

Mm, Sundays are weird days with a 'real' lunchtime. V. Annoying. Also, am trying to cut down on carbs, since I've been eating a stupid amount of them, oh dear...

Today so far (all raw so far! :D):

Brekkie:

20ml Acai Berry Juice
1 Glass Water
A Pear

Lunchtime:

One Piece Melon
Bowl of Strawberries (Love, love, love)
Banana (Latest obsession)
2 Glasses of Water.

Was going to make it all into a smoothie with Rice Milk...but am trying to be as RAW as possible at the moment...also...don't have much Rice Milk left and kinda want hot chocolate later (v.un-raw, but I'm easing myself into it :p)

Snacks...

Handful of nuts. Oh, how I have missed fatty-rubbish :p Yum..

[Gliondrach]

I'm a high carb - especially starchy carb - man. That's most likely what made us into modern humans. Even more so when we learnt to cook tubers and other starchy things. Many human groups have extra copies of an enzyme gene variant for breaking down starch into sugars. Many more than do apes. It's usually the meat eating specialists, like Eskimos, who don't have as many copies.

I had a veggie stew today. Two small potatoes, one large carrot, six medium Brussels' sprouts and one tomato. With three slices of bread and tahini. Some raisins and three Brazil nuts. Two cups of tea with soya milk.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

I'm a worried about my weight sorta girl :p Haha.

Veggie stew sounds delicious ^_^

[Gliondrach]

It was very nice. I especially like the stew sandwiches I made with the bread.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Oooh, stew sandwhich sounds good...though sorta like soup sandwich :p

Mmm, today:

Brekkie:
20ml Acai Berry Juice
A Pear
Mini cup of water

Lunch:
Some Salad (made with mixed beans, mixed greens, sweetcorn, and, er, cucumber...think that's it) - it was pretty crap actually. The beans and sweetcorn were cheepo, and kinda gross >_< Boring.

Snack:
Half a mini bag of Japanese Rice Crackers...turns out they were a tad bit spicier than the usual ones I get, so not good, not good...
2 Glasses Water

Dinner:

Bowl of Strawberries
A Banana
1 Glass Water

YUMMY! <3

Snack:

2 Glasses Water
And pigged out on Sweedish Glace Soy Ice Cream, right from the tub: Yum Yum Yum, this is what being a teenage girl is about, chomphing Ice Cream whilst watching mind-numbingly boring television, and worring about how much weight I'm going to put on because of said scrummy, yummy ice cream...while somehow not caring...until..dun dun dun...tomorrow when the scales reveal all! :p ....

[gabbles]

Doesn't the stew leak out of the sandwiches?

[Gliondrach]

No. I'm careful to leave out the gravy when I put the veggies on the bread. Gone are the days when my shirt front could tell the story of my eating habits.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm, college days suck, especially today, they totally interupt my amazing 'eat whenever you fancy it' plan...

Mmph.

B:
20ml Acai Berry Juice
An Apple (no Pears left... :()
One Glass Water

L:
One Glass Water
2 (rather large) Mushrooms dipped in Tomato Puree

S:
Handful of Mixed Nuts (turns out they taste great even when being shoved down speedily between lessons :p)

D:
Bowl of Strawberries
A Banana
One Glass Water

Mmmph.

S: Pigged out on almost an entire tub of vegan-friendly chocolate Ice Cream. Not sure if it was worth it...feel vvv.sick :p

[Gliondrach]

Just toast, nuts, raisins and apples for me today. And tea.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

20ml Acai Berry Juice
One Apple

One Glass Water
2 Ryivita
One Glass Water

Vegan Friendly Chocolate Ice Cream
One Glass Water.

Nom. Having a bit of a fat day. Mmmm. No more Ice Cream left though, so no more temptation :P

Mmm.

A Banana dipped in Soy-Custard for dinner
One Glass Water

Mmm.

[Gliondrach]

The same as yesterday for me, so far. Might make a veggie stew later. Or tomatoes and cheezly on toast.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mmm.

Today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice
One Glass Water

Whole Melon (yes, a whole one...)

Last of my Strawberries (*sobs*)

Bowl of Soy-Custard

All washed down with five glasses of water...

[Gliondrach]

Was that for breakfast or the whole day?


I had slightly cooked tomatoes with cheezly on toast yesterday. Tahini on the toast and olive oil poured on top. I was half-way through it when I realised I hadn't put any cheezly on.

So I had the same today and made sure the cheezly was added. I had 5 Brazil nuts, 6 almonds and some raisins afterwards. About 87 raisins.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Whole day. I don't really do 'meal times' usually. I just eat whatever, whenever...

Drinking five glasses of water for brekkie would probably be the death of me...

[Gliondrach]

You must graze like a monkey. :rofl:

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Well, we do share some traits :p


Mm. Must add lovely vegan-friendly hot chocolate to my list. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!


...

Today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice
A Pear

One Piece Wheatabix

Ketchup (am actually addicted, and weird...)

1/2 Cup Rice with Ketchup...mmm.

Massive mug of Hot chocolate. - Feel rather ill now :( methinks I had too much >_<

[FatPassionFishPoet]

20ml Acai Berry Juice
Water
A Pear
Pistachio Nuts
Water
Seaweed Crackers (possibly best food ever)
A Banana
Strawberry Water
Grapes
Water
Hazelnut and Almond Rice Milk

[Gliondrach]

I had veggie stew yesterday. Very tasty. :yum:

Will be having slightly cooked tomatoes and cheezly on toast soon. Lots of tahini on the toast and extra virgin olive oil on the tomatoes. And then some nuts and raisins and a couple of nice cuppas.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

How like real cheese does Cheezly taste?

[Gliondrach]

I haven't had any real cheese since years before you were born but it tastes authentic to me. And I let my neighbours try some a few years ago and they thought it tasted like cheese.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Hmmm, I need to get hold of some...I used to love cheese...a tad bit too much... mmm.

[Gliondrach]

You'll be able to get some at Chez Heather when you go there. I think she owns the company that makes it. It'll be in the cheeze pasties, if they have such things.

On day, I'd like to make a cheeze flan. With tofu in place of egg. A cheeze and tofu flan, with that nice crumbly pastry. All I need now is an oven that works.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Ooh, I had no idea O_o Well, next time I go, that'll be the first thing I eat! :p

Cheezly Flan sounds amazing....if you make one, you'll have to post the recipe :D

Mmm, me, today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice
Water
Strawberry Water
Soy Spaghetti Bolognese
Water
Slushy
Few bites of Vegan Cupcakes
Half a Banana

Feel so ill....bolognese sooo good, but soo much of it, was sooo filling xD Aha.

[Gliondrach]

Feel so ill....bolognese sooo good, but soo much of it, was sooo filling xD Aha.

Serves you right. Moderation in all things. Except good things. And things you don't want to be moderate about.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

It was good though! And not the sort of thing you want to be moderate about!

Plus it was from the kids menu xD So it wasn't even supposed to be big...but it was...massive bowl, v.silly :p

[Gliondrach]

I'm going to make my famous slightly cooked tomatoes with cheezly on toast that is spread with tahini, soon. I wonder if Heather M. would be interested in the recipe? It could be a winner there.

[gabbles]

I tried it. Quite nice. I think I'll try lightly sauteeing the tomatoes. :chef:

[FatPassionFishPoet]

I think she would be :p ...if it tastes good?

Have tried Cheezly! Discovered that it's the cheese my brother has been using (he's allergic to milk) and I had no idea! I wasn't overly impressed, to be honest, but I think if you put it on toast, or into something, it'd taste good...mm..might try different types of the stuff....the Edam one looks good :D

Mm,
Food, today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice
A Pear
Mini Pretzals
Seaweed Crackers
Pistachio Nuts
Grapes
Piece of Pinapple
Some Choclate Cupcake
Lots of Water

Mm.

[Gliondrach]

Cheezly's nice on toast. Or in cheezly and onion sandwiches.

Your cupcakes will have all gone soon.

Will be having my famous cheezly and toms on toast soon. Need to finish the cheezly off because it can get mould on it after it's been open too long. I wonder if the mould would make it like those cheeses that have mould in them?

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mmm, will try that soon :p

Really actually want to try fake bacon sandwiches too O_o Apparently they're really good...

...I know :( But I LOVE them...I must steal the recipe...
...or just find an excuse to go back over to Brighton and get some more :p :D

Ew. Nooo, mouldy cheese is not good!

[Gliondrach]

Don't health food shops sell these fake bacon slices and chicken things?

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm, I do believe so. We're going to go searching for them down town tomorrow, so we shall find out :p I think I've seen them in Sainsburys before...or maybe Tescos...luckily both are pretty near with Holland and Barrett right in the middle, so we can look in all three :D Dad and I are thinking of trying to make the ultimate vegan breakfast sandwhich/bagel with Tofu/Bacon/Mushrooms/salady bits/etc. Yum :D Maybe he'll end up converted to our ways...or at least the vegetarian way, since giving up kitKats might be just a little too much to ask :p

Mm. Food today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice
Water
Half a Banana
Mini Pretzal/Seaweed Cracker/Pistachio Nut Mixture
Half a Banana
Water
Bits of Pinapple
Bit of Cupcake (only one left now...might cry when it's gone...)
Hot Chocolate
2 Rusk Biscuits
Water

Mmmm. Love food.

[Gliondrach]

Just toast for me today. And some nuts, raisins and apples. And cups of tea. And one of cocoa.

I tried the fishless fingers once. When I was a young lad, my favourite meal was fish fingers, peas and mashed potato. I used to cut the fish fingers into small pieces then mix everything together in one lump. I tried that with the fishless fingers. They weren't bad - but not very fishy.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

They weren't bad - but not very fishy.


Haha! That's almost exactly what my mother said :p

Mmm, food, today, am being a pig ...not even any fruit :o:o

20ml Acai Berry
Water
Vitamin Pills
Glass Chocolate Soy Milk
1 Rusk Biscuit and Hot Chocolate
Mini Pretzals
Chocolate Milk
Water
Strawberry Water
Fake Sausage Roll (so, SO good!)

...not necessarily in that order, methinks. Can't quite remember. Bloody yummy though :D

Just realised that Acai Berry is fruit. Woo. One a day. Score.

Totally emancipated all my vegan 'crap' from the main kitchen today, I practically have my own, which is pretty awesome :p Will fill it up tomorrow on Shopping Day(!) :D :p Excited.....

[Gliondrach]

Is the ersatz sausage roll a sosmix one?

You really need to have the occasional cuppa.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mmm, maybe? Sounds about right. 90p from Holland and Barrett? Aha. Those ones :P Was taking advantage of their buy one get one half price scheme today!

And NEVER! Hot Chocolate only...

[Gliondrach]

I was in Holand and Barrett. I didn't see you there. Bought two jars of tahini. But I always buy two jars to save me going too often.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Ahhh right :p

Aaha, I usually buy less of everything so I can go MORE often! :D Ha!

Spending way too much money at the moment though...plus the BIG shop is tomorrow :D

[Gliondrach]

I try to avoid going to town on Saturdays. Especially as Christmas approaches.

Had tomatoes on toast for dindins. Wish I'd bought some cheezly.

[gabbles]

Thick lentil soup and bread for dinner. :yum: And two bananas.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Mm, I usually try to, but it's kinda difficult to me. Plus dad was going over to work today, so I thought I'd hitch a lift to the next town over and look round the massive Sainsburys. They've stopped selling my favourite vegan mint chocolate in Tescos, so I'm hoping and praying that this Sainsburys might still sell it. If they don't, you may see me on the news, getting done for murder.

Mmm. Seriously good shopping this morning, might end up eating strawberries all week though. Treat box now absolutely stuffed. Mmmmm.

Went to an Oriental shop on the way into town to get lovely hair stuff, and discovered how AMAZING it is! So many vegan things! And SO cheap! And I finally found Coconut Milk in there! Brilliant! Am going back down later with enough money to stock up my cupboard with awesome Asian foods...YUM! So excited! My kitchen is pretty much full to bursting, but I couldn't care less...food. Is. So. Good. They even have vegan mock duck! Woo!

Mmm, foodwise today:

20ml Acai Berry Juice
Vitamin Pills
Chocolate Soy Milk
2 Bites Chocolate Cupcake (almost all gone now, noo! Methinks another visit to Brighton is due!)
A Fake Cornish Pastie (Holland and Barrett kick ass - love sales!)

Mmm, I'm going to assume now that I'll eat Strawberries, Banana and Seaweed Crackers for dinner, washed down with water and plenty of Alcohol. Yum, and horrah! for two parties per night.

Is anyone having Hallowe'en-type food today? Pumpkin soup. Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin sandwiches.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Haha, that sounds amazing!

Not moi, but I did buy a pumpkin! Must work out what to do with it very soon...perhaps roast pumpkin tomorrow? Or pumpkin soup...mmm.

[Gliondrach]

I've never had pumpkin.

And I haven't had much to eat today. Will have some toast and marmalade soon.

[gabbles]

It's nice as soup. With black pepper.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

I shall suggest that to mother :D She has taken on the task of working out what to make with it - if I tried it'd be a shambles...

Mm, last night ended up having:

Couple of Strawberries,
Seaweed Cracker, Mini Pretzal, Pistachio Nut Mix,
Bite of a 'Naked Bar' - 'Twas Gross,
A Fortune Cookie,
A Dairy Free Chocolate Bar,
Couple of spoonfuls of Kiwi,
2 Borbons
2 Glasses Water,
Smirnoff.

Was rediculously hungry all night >_>

So far today:

Small piece of Porkless Pie,
Vitamins,
20ml Acai Berry,
Chocolate Soy Milk,
Water,
Hot Chocolate with 2 Rusks dipped in it.
Handful of Mini Pretzals
Water
2 Oreos
Mmm.

[Gliondrach]

The cupcakes must have been all eaten now.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Nope! One bit's still left! :p

[Gliondrach]

It won't last the night.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

It did ;)

Not much else did though. Had massive cravings all evening and banished them by eating myself into a stomach ache. Ouch.

No more un-vegany cravings though this morning, so it's all good :]]

Having a dairy-free choco bar for breakfast probably wasn't the smartest idea though.

[Gliondrach]

I had a bowl of my famous stew last night.

Just toast today. And nuts and raisins.

[gabbles]

Porridge for breakfast. Then two apples.

Tomato and lettuce sandwiches at midday.

More sandwiches later. Two bananas.

Rice and vegetables for dinner. Some nuts.

[Vinnie]

I had some lentil soup. Home made. Gabbles would like it.

[gabbles]

Yes I would. I had some today. Some left over for breakfast.

[Gliondrach]

Veggie stew yesterday. Tinned tomatoes on toast later this evening.

Felt peckish, so just had two apples and am now munching some hazlenuts and raisins.

[gabbles]

Tofu, potato and rice mixed together with olive oil, coriander powder and pepper. Flattened and lightly fried. With peas, potatoes and carrots. :hungry:

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Just have to say that I had the yummiest wrap earlier!

1 wrap filled with lettace, tomato, cucumber, and falufel (sp?) ....so good...

oh, and I had some ketchup with it, because I'm obsessed, and it tastes SO GOOD!

And I mixed fak-o cottage cheese with the rest of the falufel, because that's also delicious :p :D Wooo....

Ordered a couple of Twilight bars, Jokerz bars, and buccaneer bars earlier from the vegan store, and I am SOOOOO looking foward to trying them....


Must. Calm. Down.

[Gliondrach]

Breathe deeply and think calming thoughts.

[FatPassionFishPoet]

Have calmed down now ^_^ Have lived off cereal today though, which probably isn't good O_o

Have to say though, just read 'Skinny Bitch', and my views on food and life in general have completely changed. If I wasn't vegan before reading it, it certainly would have made me a vegan, I'm going to reccomend it to absolutely everyone now...

[Gliondrach]

slightly cooked tomatoes on toast with margarine, tahini, cheezly and olive oil.

[Harley_Quinn]

I feel like I eat more than everyone else o.o lol
I try to adhere to a very "natural" way of eatting - (though I think in essense everyone does lol) - as in - I'm not counting calories or whatever fad diets are out there - just limiting the amount of processed foods and pretty much eatting HEALTHY (I mean a vegan diet is pratically healthy as it is - but of course there are plenty of vegan things out there are aren't quite so good for you - ex: potato chips). I also eat when I'm hungry - and not STARVING hungry - but like hte first few pangs of hunger - and I don't eat till I'm ripping out of my pants - just about 70-80% fullness (which is actually a custom that is praticed in Japan) So I eat lighter meals - but throughout the day

Today's Food-Ness:

Breakfast - Chinese Pear with Almond Milk and Cereal (I'm trying to cut back on cereal - a lot of it has a loto f refined sugar in it - but I have BOXES of it lying around and I'd rather eat it then throw it out)

Snack - Rice Cake with Jam

Lunch - A little less than one cup of brown rice with some smashed up avocado

Snack - Toast (Whole wheat) with some lettuce and tomato on top

Dinner - Seitan (2 slabs) with my veggie casserole (1 cup) (tomatoes, onions, scallions, eggplant, zucchini...and I'm pretty sure I'm missing another veggie or two in there lol)
