Can we please have a 'What I ate today' thread, vegan style?

[LeftieLovegood]

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.

B: toast/naturli and marmalade
L: Flatbread and hummus
T: veg cottage pie
S: eggs salted caramel cake, vegan boulangere pain au chocolate, crisps and more hummus

Oh dear autocorrect. Obviously not eggs on the vegan board. Oggs

B: porridge with sultanas and chia seeds
L: spicy lentil, spinach and potato stew with soya yogurt and beetroot, satsuma
D: this lush Buddha bowl minimalistbaker.com/sweet-potato-chickpea-buddha-bowl/ (but in our house it serves 2 not 3)
S: choc orange nakd bar, slice of Christmas cake

And I've just had a Cleo's peanut butter cup pack. Best vegan equivalent to reeses that I've found. Eye wateringly expensive (I buy them in packs from eBay) but that helps me eat fewer

Banana and marmite sandwich?🤔 I think I might have to try this👌

Yesterday
Toast with strawberry jam.
Chickpea tuna salad sandwich with sainsburys vegan coleslaw.
Bean on toast with nooch and chillies on top.
2 satsumas, an apple, cashew nuts, packet of prawn cocktail crisps, 3 oatie biscuits.

Yesterday - fakon sandwich on wholemeal pitta, Greggs vegan roll. Greggs vegan doughnut. Jackfruit curry with toasted pitta and soy yoghurt and mint raita.

Today - costa coconut latte, costa smoky ham and cheeze vegan toastie, watermelon slices later this afternoon and then out for tea tonight so either mushroom and tarragon pie or fishless fillets and chips!

Could I ask a question please? It's my ds 5th birthday in march and after going round in circles I've decided to do a party at home for him. I think a lot of the parents will stay. Probably about 10 children coming.
Want to make sure there's something for the parents to nibble on while the kids are earing. What shall I put out for them? Thanks!

@jess3817 the one snack that seems to really wow non-vegan guests with me is curry pinwheels. I just use a sheet of puff pastry, spread some curry paste on it, finely chopped red onions, finely chopped coriander (I use Tesco frozen), roll up, slice, place on baking tray and bake for about 12-15 minutes. I also do a marmite & vegan cheese one and sundried tomato and olive but it's the curry one that really goes down well.

Redpriestandmozart wow they do sound really nice! Will be making those 😁 thanks!

Today has been

B: porridge with sultanas, chia seeds and soya milk
L: spicy lentil soup
D: Chinese New Year feast of mini spring rolls, sesame toast, Linda McCartney duck pancakes (which we call fuck pancakes ), steamed green veg, sticky shiitake mushrooms and rice. Almond magnum for pudding

@jess3817 I have an awesome ginger cake recipe that I'm happy to share if you'd like to also offer something sweet

L: avocado on toast
S: garlic spread with some crackers and cucumber
D: vegan Burns! Cullen skink, haggis, rumbledethumps, sautéed spinach, cranachan and shortbread, a lot of whisky

PartTimeDomesticGoddess yes please that'd be great, thank you.

@jess3817 it's the only recipe I still cook in imperial measurements as I've never bothered to convert it. It keeps well (certainly over a few days) and freezes well. It's also excellent with custard for pudding. I make this in 2 loaf tins so you could easily do a half qty if you wanted, and I've never adjusted the cooking time to do that. My mum makes it in a tray bake type tin (she's been making it since the late 70s, it just happens to be naturally vegan ) and I've written below what the original recipe says for tin size.

11oz self raising flour
3 tsp ginger
1 tsp bicarb of soda
1/2 tsp salt
8 fl oz hot water
4 oz margarine
4 oz Demerara sugar
8 oz golden syrup

Heat oven to 160 fan. Sieve flour, ginger, bicarb and salt into large bowl. Place remaining ingredients in a saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until margarine has melted and sugar has dissolved.
Add the contents of the saucepan to the flour mix and mix together really thoroughly, ideally with a mixer.
Bake in a lined shallow tin, 11" x 9" for 45 mins.

B/L: vegan fry up of hash browns, shroomdog sausages, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes roasted in chilli oil, spinach and baked beans
D: cauliflower macaroni cheese from the jack Monroe book Vegan(ish) which was lush
S: Christmas cake, bacon frazzle type crisps and a small handful of salted peanuts

Satsumas
Small bowl of mixed pepper jalfrezi after I had batch cooked earlier
2 LM sausages, new potatoes and broccoli

PartTimeDomesticGoddess Thankyou! Love ginger cake - haven't had any for years.
Yesterday
Beans on toast.
Cheese salad wrap with chillie sauce.
Veggie pearl barely stew with dumplings and mustard mash.
Bournville chocolate buttons. 2 satsumas.

Today
Cheese and onion toastie.
Scrambled tofu with about, cherry tomos and spinach.
Packet of chicken walkers crisps.
Dinner will be meatball subs and onion rings .

That gingercake looks lovely. I love things that just happen to be vegan.

L: veggie noodles, sriracha, lime juice, soy
D: Roast veg (cauliflower, carrots , peeper, whatever is left in the veg drawer) mixed into basmati rice, fried onions cumin seeds, garam masala etc to make a kind of biryani. Chutney and red onion and tomato salsa.

Today I had

L. Potato & leek soup
D. Black bean & sweet potato Enchiladas

60oz water, 2 Yorkshire biscuit teas, and a lovely big frothy coffee

D - sautéed mushrooms and spinach on sourdough toast
S - iced fruit bun

B: overnight oats with raspberries, blueberries and mixed seeds
L: aubergine and chickpea stew with pine nuts, beetroot and a satsuma
D: shakshuka (always do mine with spinach and capers) made with silken tofu for the eggs and crusty bread
S: nakd choc orange bar, grapes, sweet chilli snack a jacks

Seeing as you're all brilliant cooks, was wondering if you could help me? Having a family get together. 11 of us. 6 vegan 5 not, but they're brilliant and will happily eat whatever I make. It'll be on a Sunday lunchtime. Can't be spicy as my nan is 93 and cant take it😂wich is fair enough.
Things we've had before
Various roast dinners and stews.
Pies. Quiches. Different pasta dishes.

Any ideas gratefully received 👌

Just made the slimming works version of tomato soup which is lovely

2 tins of chopped toms
1 tin of baked beans
1 tin of carrots
3 picked onions
1/2 pint of veg stock

Simmer for 20 mins then liquidise when cool enough. Really nice.

jess3817 The Bosh mushroom and nut wellington is pretty easy to make. It serves 4 so you would need to make 3.

What's for dinner lads? I've gone on another mad diet. Was planning on salad for dinner again but I'm just SO hungry. Will get baguette and tofu on the way home and make a scramble mayo and lettuce sammich with capers 😋
