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.

I'm jumping into this thread as I'm seriously lacking inspiration in my meals and I have such fussy kids!

Yesterday was -
B (fasting) peppermint tea
S cappuccino and coconut chia oat biscuit (several)
D leftovers - garlic rice, kale, wicked kitchen chorizo sausage
S Aldi beef flavour veggie puffs
T jacket potato, mashed avocado with lime and tomato, houmous, rocket, Swedish glace cinnamon ice cream

I cook a great easy vegan Mac n' Cheese do you want the recipe wejammin?

@ppeatfruit yes please!

@ppeatfruit ooh, me too please if you wouldn't mind?

L: lunch pot with one of those pouches of ready cooked quinoa which I mixed with tomatoes, roasted red pepper from a jar, capers, roasted tenderstem and artichoke hearts and a lemon, parsley and chilli dressing with chopped preserved lemon. Am not sure I like quinoa that much and it took a lot to make it taste nice 😂
D: M&S spinach and white bean ravioli with HM tomato sauce (made by DD14), oven roasted Mediterranean veg from the freezer, nooch and garlic bread
S: 2 dates, satsuma, grapes, graze cocoa and orange oat square, handful of wasabi rice crackers

B: fucking delicious vegan apple fritter donut from my FAVOURITE place in Los Angeles washed down with an iced oat milk latte - god I’ve missed these pleasures!

I haven't really done much IF at all since lockdown, mostly due to work being beyond mental, and it's caught up with me as my jeans have become more snug than is ok
Have decided to try a low calorie 16:8 variation for some of the week (and probably try to do 16:8 the other days) and see how that goes. With that in mind, today looked like

L: small portion of chickpea, spinach and tomato curry
D: huge plate of veg (carrots, squash, cauliflower, broccoli, peas, green beans and Sweetcorn) with a Tesco nut cutlet thing and lots of gravy

Going to be a miserable few days for me because I just had two tooth implants so I’m going to lurk rather than have you poor people deal with me reporting cashew yoghurt ad infinitum

L. Kholbrabi curry with spelt toast
Sn. some of my tofu choc chip icecream.

@ppeatfruit yeah I prepped a huge bag of lentil and veg soup but it needs to be thickened and blended as I’m struggling with any kinds of consistencies. Attempting very mashed up banana today and hopefully by tomorrow can attack the soup. DH bought me my favourite Sicilian pistachio ice cream and the teeth on the side of my jaw that Hasn’t had surgery are too sensitive to deal with the cold

Thankfully this is the last in a long line and will hopefully mean eventually I can chew on both sides of my jaw again!

I have discovered black salt so I am having lots of 'egg' salads (I really missed egg).

So today I had a tofu, vegan mayo, tumeric and black salt salad wrap.

Avocado salad.

I'm not well do appetite isn't huge at the moment.

@IJumpedAboardAPirateShip for you (or should it be ) I also have dental issues, so understand the issue of not being able to chew on both sides 🙈

L: jackfruit jambalaya
D: Sri Lankan curry with peppers and butternut
S: cucumber sticks with salt
