D: Thai soup (mostly squash with some carrot and sweet potato) with crusty bread and naturli and a couple of puff pastry fingers brushed with soya milk/nooch before cooking
S salt and vinegar kettle chips, a couple of lazy days millionaires crispy bites

B: posh coffee and dark choc rice cake (weekend treat!)

L: porridge and fresh fruit

D: peanut Tofu with cauliflower rice

Pudding/treat: choc brownie

I'm on a diet too so all this was within my 1,200 daily allowance and had choc twice!

Yesterday I had homemade beetroot and Kale Wellington with roast carrots and Broccoli - amazing!

@Mummyoply beetroot and kale Wellington sounds great. How do you cook the veg for the middle?

Yesterday
L: Richmond sausages, baked beans, hash browns, mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, slice of sourdough toast
D: miso aubergine/tofu/kale traybake with rice and broccoli
S: handful of salted cashews and 3 dates, chipsticks/sensations and chocolate (Tony's chocoloney 51% dark with almonds and sea salt, which was not very dark and lovely)

That sounds good Mummy recipe?

B. b.t.w. it's always yesterday's (a good memory exercise! for me). I baked some eating apples for an experiment the day before, they were delicious plus a tiny bit of leftover smoothie.
L. Fried Ceps and grated courgette with spinach and onion. Ceps are amazing fat mushrooms that you only get here in autumn when it has rained. We had some in our field last year! I must go and look soon
S. Picked at Ella nut balls, Planet Organic truffles and figs.

It's really good, I roast the veg (beetroot, butternut squash, red onion) with garlic, thyme and sumac. Once roasted - add puy lentils and cooked chestnuts. Make kale pesto then assemble into the puff pasty :-) I make mine like a bit of a sausage roll shape and they freeze really well too. I also put sumac and fresh thyme on top just before cooking - it's really tasty!

Sounds amazing @Mummyoply

Thanks for that Mummy it would make a good vegan dish for Christmas.

B. Fresh pear\soaked linseeds and figs and lemon smoothie
L. HM. Minestrone with ryvitas
Sn.. Spelt toast /yeast flakes, cucumber/ sandwich
S. Rice flour, almond milk semolina with carob and molasses

B: tinned grapefruit, spiced porridge with soya milk, sultanas and seeds
L: wholemeal bap with tomato nut roast, rose harissa pesto and Mayo. Chipsticks
D: stew made with shroomdog 'chorizo' sausages, carrots, celery, mushrooms and dumplings. Served with peas and broccoli. Pudding was a slice of the tiramisu iced fudge by vegan richa. It was okay, but tasted too much of coconut for my taste

@IJumpedAboardAPirateShip @ppeatfruit I do have this for my Christmas dinner! It's delicious, I don't make it too often to keep it as a special treat! And because it's very high in calories- I have a full one on Christmas Day but only half the rest of the time

We’re hoping to fly home for Christmas and my brother and his family to join at my parents’ - normally I’m the only vegan but he and his wife have converted this year so I’m def suggesting we do this @Mummyoply

Yesterday we had friends over for lunch and it was massive:
Nibbles: dried olives and rosemary covered nuts, crisps with romanesco dip
Main: shepherds pie and green beans
Pud: Apple upside down cake and vanilla ice cream

I def overate because it was so tasty but then was too full for any tea 😆

@IJumpedAboardAPirateShip I serve it to guests for Christmas dinner and it always goes down well. Even my meat eating husband likes it 😃. Made in advance it can be frozen for a couple of months, freeze before cooking the pastry and defrost before cooking.
