My name is Blake. What did you have for brkst, lch, or dinner?
Today was:
Breakfast: A chopped apple, banana, one tbsp walnuts, one tbsp raisins, 3 tbsp vanilla yogurt and 1 tsp cinnamon all mixed together.
Snack: some chickpea crunchies
Lunch: a pear and some noodles in peanut sauce
Dinner: a home made bean burrito with a whole wheat wrap, kidney beans, spinach leaves, and salsa and some applesauce
Dessert: some ice cream.

Ate a lot today lol
I just had the best smoothie ever. 
1 banana
3 dates
1tsp flax meal
a bit of soy yogurt
soymilk
Dates are amazing.  They add so much sweetness and its fine because its natural!  Next time I'll omit the yogurt. 
Oh, and last night I made an amazing pasta salad.
1tbs red wine vinegar
2tbs agave
3tbs olive oil
1tsp salt
pepper
brown rice pasta
kalamata olives
diced tomato
slivered almonds
some green onion

It was so simple and satisfying with some butternut squash. 
Breakfast - Fruit salad and Soy cappuccino. Lunch - Porridge with rice milk and dried cranberries and various seeds. Dinner - A pizza made on pita bread, with a vegan pasta sauce and lots spinach, red onion, sweet corn and peas on top, and some garlic oil drizzled over it, and some cracked black pepper. - It was amazing!
Just had a lovely meal! I was experimenting with chickpeas and I head or something called chickpea mash so I worked on making my own recipe and it was very good.

1 can chickpeas
2 cups spinach leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced or crushed
1/2- 1 cup sliced baby portobellos
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp pepper
few leaves fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp celery salt
1 tsp nutritional yeast


Sautee garlic in olive oil until browned and add mushrooms and sautee for a few minutes until also browned.  Add spinach leaves and cook until wilted, then add the chickpeas. When the chickpeas are cooked and soft, start mashing them with a fork.  You don't have to mash them completely, just so most are smushed, but the mixture is still chunky.  Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until it's warm and combined.

It was very good and a pretty light meal. I had half for lunch and half for dinner!
For breaky I had_
Organic instant oatmealOrganic apple butter - 1 spoon (organic apples, organic grapes)Organic banana - sliced1/2 cup rice milk 
Its quick, easy, & gives me a bit of energy for the morning. Slow cook oatmeal is the best but this is just very quick. 
I am printing all of your ideas. Thanks for sharing. smiley-kiss.gif

I don't know why my text is all squishing together. I've tried to edit it but it wont let me! Sorry!
Hi all! I'm pretty new here but am currently reading Alicia's book and am diving right into being a very flirty superhero vegetarian vegan person (ok, i'm a little everything right now).

Dinner tonight was quinoa with a little vegetable broth at the end, dried cranberries, thinly sliced green onion, a little seasalt, and topped with over-roasted butternut squash cubes (s&p, evoo)- and splash of balsamic vinegar to top everythng off. A little sweet, salty, and sits gently in the tummy. Yum!

I'm a big foodie and threw this together on a whim with what I had in the fridge and it turned out pretty tasty! I'm sure there's room for improvement (and certainly substitutions!) so your comments and suggestions are welcomed. :)
Breakfast- bagel with tofutti cream cheese.

Snack- Fruit cocktail and veggie crackers topped with roasted tomato hummus.

Dinner- I loooove making "Beef-less tips fajitas." They're quick, easy and delicious! Had it for dinner tonight... and yesterday night :)

Gardein Beef-less tips, taco shells or tortillas, lettuce, tomatos and whatever other veggies you'd like to throw in there and top it with tofutti sour cream!
For dinner I had an Indonesian feast!
I don't know if anyone here is familiar with the traditional Indonesian kitchen, but here are the dish names...

Nasi goreng, Sayur lodeh, Sambal goreng telor, Saté sauce & a baked banana and (!) fresh baked emping on the side .... it was ridiculously good!
hi everyone.. I would adore input on how im doing.. although was a hetic day :)

Morning I had oatmeal with soymilk.. Lunch was a large baked sweet potato with sea salt , pepper and a little vegan butter..  Dinner was steamed veggies and 2 soy ice cream bars :) Sounds non exciting.. but it was perfect for me.  I jogged 8 miles.. I hope  gave my body enough.  I worry about that.

I see very little protein; the soy milk and soy ice cream are processed forms of soy, not the best choices. Try adding whole grains, beans, tofu, miso, tempeh, sea vegetables, fruit. Some olive oil, flax seed oil or freshly ground flax seeds, or avocado will provide healthy fat and keep your skin and hair healthy. Freshly ground flax seeds and chopped walnuts on your oatmeal will add Omega 3s, and oatmeal tastes great with almond milk. Nutritional yeast or marmite for B12.
I hope this helps.
Thanks so much!!  This is exactly what I needed to hear :) xoxox
