Ooooh Rocky Road. My daughter makes the most delicious vegan rocky road for any treat days for me. Gluten free and rich and quite dark. It's sooo good. I might start hinting for my birthday next month. Just in case she thinks I'm sick of it.

L. Jack Monroe's lentil, spinach and lemon soup. Cucumber and mayo sandwich.

Everybody's food is making me feel quite hungry 😊

@Estrellente, here is the sticky rice tray bake recipe. It's from the green roasting tin. Also freezes well in portions

150g Jasmine rice
400ml tin coconut milk
1 tbsp soy sauce
2.5cm ginger, grated
1 clove garlic
300g squash, peeled and 1cm cubes
300g broccoli, cut into small pieces
30g toasted cashews

Dressing
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
2.5cm ginger, grated
1 red chilli, finely chopped
Fresh coriander, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 180 fan
Mix rice, coconut milk, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a small roasting tin and top with the squash. Cover tightly with foil and cook in oven for 45 mins*
Add broccoli, re-cover and cook for 15 mins more. Toast cashews on an oven tray for 10-15 mins
Mix together dressing ingredients, adjusting soy and lime to taste
Tip dressing over hot roasting tin ingredients, scatter with toasted cashews and serve hot

*split the cooking time according to how long you like your broccoli roasted. I like mine with a 35/25 minute split. I also like with steamed broccoli instead of roasted

B: Chopped fruit with jam and peanut butter on top
L: Homemade soup (potato, onion, kale, brocolli, garlic & beetroot)
D: Bistro salad bag w/ toms, cucumber, capers, artichokes, seeds, mushrooms, freefrom cheddar & onion
S: Frys strawberry cream, deliciously ella salted caramel cups

And my evening snack will be Applewood smoked slices on toasted sourdough 🙂

I was just thinking about your sticky rice earlier OP, so thank you very much indeed! That has lots of my favourite things in it, I’ll definitely be trying that :D

B. I had planned a berry smoothie and nuts but it wasn't very nice today so i ate the nuts then i had toast and lime marmalade.
L. Roast veggies from last night (garlic/carrots/beetroot/onion) whizzed up with the leftover Chipotle marinade from the tofu last night and made into a soup. Delicious. Couple of slices of gf baguette .
D. Half sausage and olive pasta and half cauli and brocolli 'cheese' bake with Engivita. Sounds like a weird mixture but it was really nice.

Im currently fasting on 2 meals a day.

Breakfast- lettuce and spinach salad, with avocado, curried chickpeas and buttered mushrooms.

Dinner: Wicked Kitchen sausage And veg pasta, with half plate of broccoli

Had some carrot sticks and hummus and a cheeky packet of Aldi’s Pickled onion monster claws for snacks in between!

Chickpea flour fritatta with mushrooms and tomato

Sandwich with aldi plant coleslaw and a sliced aldi not-chicken burger

Pasta bake with garlic bread

B- peach avocado Brazil nuts

L - chickpea salad with sweet corn, tomato, cucumber, red pepper and pine nuts.

Rocky road

D - not sure yet

B: Most of the contents of my wonderful vegan box from The Vegan Kind, love delivery day!!!!
L: Massive salad with all kinds in plus fava bean protein pieces
S: Dates dipped in peanut butter. Galaxy vegan oat milk drink. And shortly i will have some dorsey nutty muesli with dried tropical fruit on top. And maybe some more toasted sourdough 🙈

Dorset not dorsey haha!!!

L: big bowl of overnight oats, oats soaked in rice milk and eaten with alpro plain yogurt, lots of seeds, raspberries and a chopped peach
S: 3 plums, sandwich made with 1 slice of white bread spread with naturli and filled with slices of yellow tomato and black pepper
D: quiche with new potatoes, green beans, broccoli, peas and half a beefsteak tomato

This threads making me hungry!

I've also just devoured a bowl of cereal with oat milk and am about to start on the mixed nuts.

B: Strawberries, blueberries, coconut Alpro yoghurt, granola.
L: Hummus, Spinach, Mushrooms and Tomatoes on Sourdough toast
D: Veggie curry (onion, tomatoes, courgette, peppers, green beans, broccoli, spinach, sweet potato and chickpeas - basically everything that needed using up!) followed by hazelnut and chocolate ice cream.

I definitely want to try the sticky rice too!

B: peach, melon, nuts, seeds, alpro yogurt
L : chickpea 'tuna', hummus, salad, beetroot, sun dried tomatoes, those crispy bean things (can't remember the name)
S: cherries, ritter sport, rhubarb and custard sweets (smaller portions so progress!), pistachios
D: baked tofu rolled in nooch and spice mix. I thought it was going to be like southern fried chicken. Spoiler : it was not. Also french fries (root veg and potato kind) and steamed carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and cauliflower.

@Wannabefarmer

Now am craving greek food! Gigantes, dolmades, olives. Yum yum yum.

Every single post on this thread has something i like the look it's great for inspiration!

Ooh can I join in please? I'd love some new ideas.

Yesterday I had a coconut milk iced latte in the morning. Then my vegan kind lifestyle box arrived (favourite day of the month) so I had a packet of corn chips and a few chocolate covered "honeycomb" bits.

For dinner my 11 year old made us open tartlets with jus rol vegan puff pastry, tomatoes, violife cheese and vivera plant shawarma with butternut squash wedges. They were absolutely gorgeous and my DH who usually will not eat a meal without meat had the same and said they were great! 2 wins in a day :)

@cricketmum84

Welcome! Yum how good was this months lifestyle box! Well, its always amazing! Im like a child after Santa "has he been has he beeeen!" An my box is there waiting for me!

@Wavescrashingonthebeach I had the sweet chilli corn chips for lunch. Yum! And the dr paw paw balm is coming in handy for the MASSIVE mozzie bite on my leg 😂

Tonight's dinner is a pasta bolognaose made with the meatless farm mince and home made garlic flatbread that are made with self raising flour, soya yoghurt, fresh garlic and mixed herbs, rolled out and cooked in a dry frying pan.
