New thread for a new year!

60oz water, 2 Yorkshire biscuit teas, a green tea, and a coffee

[AwkwardSquad]

What recipe do you use for your nut roast, @Redpriestandmozart?

[Redpriestandmozart]

@AwkwardSquad

Ashamed to say using a leftover Tesco substitution from Christmas, had it last year and it was acceptable. Sorry, no recipe :(

[Lozz22]

Heinz tomato soup with rice mixed vegetables and Italien seasoning all mixed together. Tea will just be the left overs but with tarragon this time

[AwkwardSquad]

No shame should be felt, @Redpriestandmozart, always good to get recommendations! Nut loaf can be a bit of a pain to make too.

[AwkwardSquad]

I hadn’t made it for years but then came across a tasty and reasonably straightforward recipe, so I’m considering branching out into other recipes... not actually done anything about it yet though

[Redpriestandmozart]

@AwkwardSquad what recipe do you currently use? It's been a few years since I made one from scratch, but always open to new ideas :)

[AwkwardSquad]

It’s this one thinlyspread.co.uk/chestnut-cashew-nut-vegan-christmas-roast/ (keep scrolling to get to the actual recipe)

It works best if baked in a bundt tin.

I altered the spices a bit - half a teaspoon or so of urfa (smoked chilli flakes), teaspoon of freshly toasted and ground cumin, and only one teaspoon of paprika.

[AwkwardSquad]

Today I had muesli etc with blackcurrant coulis, and tofu scramble with small portion brown pilau for lunch. Then a couple of pistachio macaroons and some tortilla chips in the afternoon. Spinach and ricotta tortellini with pesto, parmesan and rocket for dinner, followed by a pear. And probably another macaroon.

[onlyhereforthefood]

B- cinnamon porridge with almond milk
L- pret chicken, broccoli and brown rice soup & an egg and spinach protein pot
S- packet of sunbites, a plum

[Muckycat]

B- fat free yogurt with frozen raspberries, seeds and a satsuma
