Vegan no,4 What we eat every day !! Everyone welcome

[ppeatfruit]

Hello newbies, regulars etc.

B. Ground almond, apple, apple juice. filtered water soaked dates smoothie I have them at room temp when it gets cold.
L. Ryvitas with normal spreads and salad.
Sn. Spice cake (hm) with warmed almond milk.
S. Steamed cauliflower and celery with Tamari, olive oil in a bowl.

I was completely vegan for 7 years and have recently had to have a bit of a rethink - it wasn't protein that was a problem, it was calcium & vit D. I was really quite unwell. Returning to the vegan fold (and this thread) after a few months off, and this time I will be much more careful with supplements.

Today will be
Toast and marmalade
Don't know about lunch - I'm batch cooking this afternoon so I'll probably grab a banana while I cook
No-Catch "tuna" arrabbiata pasta bake

I’ve started taking Vit D, after 10years in perpetual sunshine I reckon my levels are now taking a hit in british winter

I had some Heck vegan chipolatas for breakfast today - very nice and £2 for ten on offer in Asda atm.
im going to make my next bean and sausage casserole with them as they’re ‘firm’

Just a quick post to ask how everyone's coping with the problems (heating etc). We're deffo in the right place, the Fr. Govt have a better attitude to people's difficulties. Oh btw Domestic I discovered Chocoloney when I was there, YUM YUM ! A bit too almondy though, you certainly feel like you've eaten some chocolate when You've had it!!!!

B. Lemon soaked figs and apples with apple juice up to room temp (I can't bear really cold stuff when it'a cold out!)
L. baked celeriac, butter nut squash, with a mushroom bake, I made it after thinking I'd make mushroom burgers and then did a short cut ! (we've discovered that the council have restarted a mushroom farm along the road from us so we bought a lot in the village market last week). We live on a hill that's basically honey combed with caves. Chocolate buttons for dessert.

Supper, I made a Christmas crumble (using the oven a lot)! It was nice with quince, apple mixed with my own mincemeat and topped with apple\walnut topping. It was good esp. because I put little lumps of marzipan in the apple mix.

Sorry I said a quick post didn't I. xx

Oh I forgot I usually put linseeds (ground or soaked) In my smoothies talking about vitamins , those are very good for vits and minerals. as is fresh lemon (it contains more Vit C in the peel and pith though so I chop it ALL up and soak o|n.)

Hello lovelies, I'm back (I haven't been away geographically but my laptop has been used by DH whose own laptop has broken) he needs it for his work. It's amazing how much work can be done in the house when I'm not on here!!!!!

Anyhow I hope everyone had a good Christmas, it's always interesting to see what vegans eat for Xmas dinner!! it was just us because the kids couldn't come due to illness and the weather, strikes etc... Things don't seem to be as easy as they were, do they? We couldn't get Brussel sprouts here for some reason

Xmas lunch for me was;

Smoked tofu slices with cranberry sauce.
HM Chestnut stuffing then my one non vegan sin is one piece of organic turkey (blushes) but I made veg. onion gravy and separate root veg. with mashed cauliflower .
HM Xmas pudding and mince pies which were an experiment made with yeast and almond butter. plus HM mincemeat that had been soaking for too long in Marsala to remember. I also made almond milk custard for it.

I hope you're all okay btw.

Hello @ppeatfruit! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🥳
Good vegan Christmas here - Christmas roast was a Tesco wicked fake turkey thing, vegan pigs in blankets, nut roast, braised red cabbage, roast parsnips/potatoes/carrots and sprouts. With cranberry sauce and gravy, of course. And homemade tiramisu for dessert (domestic gothess recipe)

Plenty of lovely food and treats otherwise (some of which will keep me going through January and possibly even February lol). Homemade highlight was Meera Sodha's Christmas baklava which was in the guardian weekend before Christmas. Absolutely delicious (and easy) and will definitely be repeated

B. O\N soaked fresh ginger\figs\whole lemon, pears and fig juice\filtered water.
L. H/M Whole rice with mushroom\onion\garlic, grated carrot/cucumber/shallot salad. 70% dark choc. Then choc tofu dessert
S.2 slices of spelt toast with yeast spread and pnut butter spread and a shallot.

That baklava sounds good, recipe please Domestic. Good to hear from you . I'm trying to be green by not linking !!

Happy new year everyone!

I find it hard keep up with the daily thread, but would anyone be interested in a "what's on the meal plan this week" thread? I tend to plan meals weekly.

Happy new year! After falling off the vegan wagon spectacularly last year I’m back on it with veganuary.

B - porridge with frozen cherries & almond butter
