What We're Eating / was Hi group

[Guest guest]

More things I've been eating: Today's lunch was a fruited spinach and arugula

salad

followed by a Spicy Millet dish (adapted from a couple of others, cooked in a

crockpot)

with Madhur Jaffrey's recipe for Green Beans With Tomatoes (Indian - what a

combo, eh?

LOL) and spiced steamed chard. We followed it up with Strawberries With Oranges.

I had a non-cooked food day today unfortunately. :-(

Was hoping to make another stuffed acorn squash but got too home/was too hungry.

I'm behind a bit with this (and maybe nobody's interested - but for newbies at

veg*nism

and at what to eat when veggie, you never know, it might help. So here goes:

 

Yesterday lunch was beanthread noodles with tofu and various veggies out of the

crisper -

you know, celery, onion, garlic, ginger root, bok choy, green pepper, snow peas,

mushrooms plus some sliced bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and - oh yes, bean

sprouts. Nearly forgot the beansprouts! I kind of sauteed them in a little (very

little) liquid,

and then added the tofu which I'd cut into cubes and marinated in the usual

bunch of stuff

(reduced sodium soysauce, ginger, garlic, chilies). The beanthread noodles

(maybe you call

them glass noodles?) just had to have boiling water thrown on them while the

other things

were in the pan, then drained and tossed in the mix. You get the idea. (And

there's a

photo on my blog http:beanvegan.blogspot.com)

 

Supper was soup etc. And breakfast? As usual, steel-cut oats (soaked overnight

but not

cooked) with some dried cranberries, a smoothie of blueberries, banana, soymilk

and

spirulina, and a slice of whatever 'breakfast' bread is being eaten that day -

it was banana

bread

Oh and did I add salad and fruit fruit fruit to yesterday's menu? Nope, didn't

do that.

Shoulda! Can't live without either anymore.

Your lunch sounds delish, as does your morning smoothie! And yes, I believe we

commonly call them glass noodles down here. :-)

Well, there are photos of it - and of yesterday's lunch too - on my blog at

http://beanvegan.blogspot.com

 

Yesterday it was quite a little smorgesbord (do I ever spell that correctly?) -

as you see -

but today it was lunch out for the rarest of times. We went to Zen Gardens which

is entirely

vegetarian and almost completely vegan (non-vegan items carefully marked so that

you

don't make an error and the wait staff are careful to _assume_ vegan unless you

say

otherwise! What a change!!!).

 

I had Enoki Mushroom Balls - which were not fat-free or particularly low fat,

since they

come briefly deep fried. They're wrapped in seaweed and in a sauce that is very

good -

and all sitting on a bed of steamed baby bokchoy, so that one gets so very many

good

things (except for the oil - but hey, once in a long while, eh? LOL) all on one

plate.

 

Supper was soup - but I'll leave that very successful experiment for tomorrow's

post

 

What are the rest of you eating?????? Come on - I need ideas, guys!!!

 

Love and hugs, Pat
