I'll start!

B: bran sticks and oat milk, glass of OJ.
L: Hummus and tomato toastie.
D: Stir fry: pepper, courgette, onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and Quorn chicken-style pieces, noodles and lots of soy sauce. First time I've tried the chicken-style pieces; they were on offer. Nice and low cal/high protein, but nothing special in terms of taste.
Snacks: apple, banana, bombay mix.

Well I might as well carry on!

B: porridge with banana and cherries.
L: Cheese and red onion toastie using Violife cheddar-style slices which melt beautifully! The bread was homemade to offset the processed cheese Grin.
D: Bean burger with homemade coleslaw, cucumber, gherkins and mushy peas!
S: apple, fresh fig x2, bowl of olives.

Yum, sounds great @witchy89! I love the Linda duck but never know what to do with it other than pancakes with cucumber and spring onions; will definitely try it in a rice bowl!

@LeftieLovegood oh I love it, try it in a noodle stir fry too! Delicious!! I really loved the chicken one but I think they discontinued it? I loved it in soups, or fried crunchy for Buddha bowls! I think they might have replaced it with a pulled pork version which is pretty good as well.

@witchy89 Ohh I've never seen the chicken one, shame as it sounds good! So many ideas, thank you! Always felt a bit suspicious of pulled pork but will keep an eye out for it.

B: oat milk cappuccino
L: wicked kitchen cauli pasty
D: roasted root veg and green lentils with spinach (from the Jamie Oliver veg book, I had it with almond 'yoghurt' instead of dairy)
S: dark chocolate and celery with hummus

@BrioLover - the more the merrier! Sounds like a tasty day (although I would die of starvation if I only had a cappuccino for breakfast!). Is the Jamie Oliver book any good?

Following for ideas as I love to host and a few friends and family members are vegan.
Tonight I made a Thai Green Curry with baby sweet corn, mange tout, peppers, onions and mushrooms. Served with jasmine rice. It was a practice for my sister's visit next week and none of the meat eaters complained. :)

@LeftieLovegood I'm not a great breakfast eater but yes I can understand that! I own a coffee shop though so a proper cappuccino each day is a nice start - we use Oatly Barista which is nice and creamy. Today we have a vegan choc and raspberry cake on so I'll be having a slice of that for my afternoon snack with a cuppa...

@LeftieLovegood forgot about the book! I've only just bought it so will make a few more things and report back! It gives a good first impression and allows lots of things to be veganised (through the suggestion of alternatives to paneer in a curry for example).
