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- vegan cooked breakfast and a soya coffee.

L- a Greggs vegan sausage roll. Husband was very impressed he found it. It was ok.

D- soup tonight, feeling rough and all I can face.

@Jolonglegs it depends what you mean by best - oat milk I think tastes the best in tea but it’s too creamy to have as a latte so therefore subs well in baking to replace full fat milk. I get flax milk for the kids smoothies for extra nutritional boost and I tend to have almond milk in lattes. I use soy creamer for my at home coffees but otherwise we don’t use soy milk

L: steamed broccolini tossed in tahini and lemon
S: iced oat milk latte
D: tempeh scramble, a handful of dates, 3 ginger biscuits and a cup of tea

Was all going so well!!

B: Apple
L: Bulgar wheat with broccoli, garlic and tofu fried in sweet chilli sauce, topped with walnuts and pumpkin seeds.
D: big plate of salad, and two crumpets with flora buttery.
S: 8 squares of Green and Black's dark choc, bowl of Alpro custard and an Alpro caramel pot.

B- toast and soya flat white
L- vegan chilli almond milk 'cheese' sandwich
D- herby wedges and M&S plant based mushroom pie

B: mushrooms on toast
L: leftover ratatouille
D: stuffed marrow with lentils and vegan cheese.

I use oatly barista.

Yas! I need the inspo!

B: ....coffee
L: hummus, pitas, alpro yoghurt, blueberries
D: will be puff pastry pizzas with red peppers and salad
Vegan melt in the middle puds after!

Oh wait I totally missed out the two crumpets with marmite!

Oh I tried the new Linda McCartney Peking Duck thing btw, don't recommend.

Porridge

Wrap with falafel and hummus and crisps and grapes and a banana

Jacket potato, beans, cucumber, vegan sausages

B: Bran sticks with Oatly chocolate milk, glass of pineapple juice
L: Mixed bean salad, two crumpets with Flora buttery
D: Veg curry
S: Bananas and custard, apple, Alpro caramel pot, five squares of Green and Black dark choc with peanut butter on top... sounds like quite a lot when you write it all down! In my defence, I went on a 40 minute run this morning!

Oh and I also made:

1. My Christmas cake (veganised an old recipe by swapping butter for Flora, and egg for egg replacement; this is my third year in a row of this vegan cake and it's lush)
2. Three jars of mincemeat (veganised a Mary Berry recipe by swapping butter for coconut oil, we shall see how it turns out)...
3. A large jar of raspberry gin liqueur for BIL's Xmas present.

Nice work @LeftieLovegood
