[Kobanidaughters]

New thread for all the deliciousness!

@AlmightyBob that all sounds amazing - glad you had a lovely day and happy Mother’s Day everyone

@AlmightyBob the samosas look amazing, and that aubergine curry sounds absolutely delicious. I haven't heard of Zaika, might add that to my cookery book wish list lol. And I'm sooo glad that you enjoyed the tiramisu, respect for eating it for breakfast

B: porridge with stewed rhubarb, chopped hazelnuts and seeds
L: purple sprouting broccoli, leek and lentil bake. Dates
S: mango
D: GRT minestrone and crusty bread (cooked by DD14)

Today was picky until dinner: banana, cashews, dried figs, rich tea biscuits, orange bran muffin (halved the sugar and it wasn’t good!), cucumber and tahini

Then DH decided to cook udon in a homemade dashi miso soup and make agadeshi tofu. Then we had an apple pie a friend made to congratulate us on our citizenship!

B. Half a pomelo some figs and finished the smoothie
L. cooked esp for me for MD steamed cauliflour, peas with shallots'garlic, (fresh green) Marinaded tofu fried.
Sn. mint chox\almond chox,

L: mango, GRT minestrone from last night with nooch and seeds (but without the chilli oil or pine nuts as at work)
S: Apple
D: wholewheat noodles with black bean and green pepper sauce, purple sprouting broccoli, green beans and fried tofu. Sauce was frozen leftovers and worked so well I think I'll cook some for the freezer, DH had sweet and sour while me and DD had the black bean

Fast day:
L: chickpea salad
D: lentil bolognese over green beans

And a ridiculous amount of tea and and coffee to distract me from starvation

Kobani Have a look at the Paul Mackenna way of eating which I'm on (on the weight loss site) with Coconut, and BreathMiller it's good, it doesn't involve fasting or CC or weighing of food!

B. HM Smoothie; pears, pearjuice\soaked dried apricots\lemon\ground linseeds.
L. HM dish with cauliflour\pasta\pea\ white sauce\ green garlic and shallot.
Sn/S . Finished it with spelt crackers and yeast spread

L: leftover pizza
D: quinoa with roast cauliflower, spring greens, roast parsnips and tahini sauce

Got to listen to my pal mckenna CD today.
Sunny here today and first outdoor bootcamp starts, dragging my teen though she is 100x fitter than me. X

Thanks @ppeatfruit but I’ve actually tried paul McKenna on 3 different occasions over the last two decades and it just hasn’t stuck or gelled for me, not sure why. In all honesty my weight is vanity pounds not full on weight loss so I find 5:2 simple and easy to jump in and out of - I just ate quite a lot at the weekend so I think that made me hungrier yesterday. Would def be better to just be more mindful but as yet that hasn’t managed to break my psyche and upbringing around food.

Very excited about my meals today though!

FD here, so

L: chickpea curry
D: tofu, stir fried with green beans, broccoli, garlic/chilli/dash of soy

L: rice and beans/veg
D: jacket potato with baked beans topped with engevita as I went for a long walk and ran out of time and inclination to produce anything else. Simple and delicious.

L: soyrizo scramble with spinach, cabbage and yellow pepper
D: veggie and chickpea tagine
S: apple slices with almond butter

That's interesting KobanI but as I usually say we're all different and different ways of eating suit us too. I'm on and off it, it suits me (esp. the on and off bit!) When you get to my advanced years it creeps on sooo quickly!)

B. Yesterday's smoothie with a half a pomelo
L. Leftover curry and rice with tofu yoghurt and molasses for dessert
S. 3 slices of pumpernickel and pnut butter with shallot\lettuce\endive salad

Another FD here

B: protein shake
L: Egyptian black bean soup
D: healthy Bosh Sri Lankan curry with a few cashew nuts

Totally @ppeatfruit I like the idea of PM so I’ll probably attempt it again at some point in my life - right now just want to look my best for DH’s 40th at the pool

L: proper miso soup (home made dash I from scratch and everything) from Vegan Japaneasy
S: leftover apple pie and some pistachios
D: aubergine and tempeh with cumin and rosemary on a baby leaf salad with orange and balsamic dressing

B. half a pomelo. finish of smoothie, walnuts and figs
L. Gently fried large mushrooms with garlic and onions on spelt toast
S. Steamed cauliflour on pumpernickel .

I bought this Anna Jones book, not vegan but can be tweaked interested in the food waste etc she writes about. Will report back.
B overnight oats with almond butter
L lentil soup and crackers
D sticky rice with butter beans and sweet potato
Snacks dates, crackers and a digestive.

Xxx

(Elf here, I've name changed)

Love the look of that book Coconut - let us know how you get on with it.

B: Overnight oats with frozen mango, dried apricot and almond flakes
L: Toast
D: Chickpea and spinach curry with spiced mash

Ooh @Coconut80 that was the book DD14 gave me for Mother's Day! From what I can see, almost every single recipe has a vegan alternative and I love the way she writes as she was a guardian regular for quite a long time. I haven't had chance to read it much yet, but am planning to

B: oats with soya milk/yogurt, blueberries and seeds
L: curried neeps and tatties soup with crackers
S: Apple
D: black bean chilli, rice, avocado, Mexican Sweetcorn, beetroot and cashew sour cream

Part Were you channelling Burrrns' Night with your neeps and Tatties? I always forget that night!

B.half a pomelo, pear, figs and walnuts scraping of smoothie
L. Curried leeks and cauliflour with quinoa crackers.
S/Sn went a bit off piste with orange choc, oaties and biscuits.

B: toast and marmite
L: vegan ham sandwich
D: leftovers. We've been a bit successful this week on using everything in the fridge, so I'm struggling to work out what to do with a smallish portion of leftover curry, half a punnet of cherry tomatoes, some spring onions, and a butternut squash that's been sitting in the fruit bowl for a while but still seems okay. Probably roast the squash and tomatoes, dump it all on rice and call it a rice bowl.

I like the way Anna Jones writes too I've read about food waste and eating seasonally in her book so far. I've menu planned 3 dishes from her book to try next week and I will report back. Have a food filled weekend everyone, I'm still no choc on dechox xx
