Ben and Jerry’s Non Dairy Coffee Caramel Fudge

Last night, a friend had given me a small jar of a spicy lentil curry soup, but it wasn't enough for two servings, so I used that as a base and added a little more veggie broth, coconut milk, raw cashews, cannelini beans, fresh cilantro, chopped curly kale, a little more seasoning (curry/cumin/turmeric/black pepper/dulse flakes) and served it over mung bean noodles.

Peanut butter toast and a banana for breakfast

I cooked some potatoes and butternut squash in the slow cooker last night and had some of them both this morning. Put the rest in the fridge to keep.

Then I went out walking, stopped at the farmer's market, and bought apples: 3 varieties I've never had before... well, I haven't had a Northern Spy apple in YEARS, so it's sorta new. I've started making a list of all the varieties I've tried; it's up to 23 now.

Avocado rolls

A quick and easy lunch: white beans I cooked myself in my crock-pot, mixed in and re-heated with microwaved instant white rice, fresh collards, and a drizzle of vegetable oil. (I had pretty much the same thing for lunch yesterday, but without the oil... it wasn't quite as tasty, but was probably healthier and still quite good.)

Cooking right now for later:

carro,t potato and thyme soup

fried rice with red peppers and vegetarian "meat" strips, chinese 5 spice and soy sauce

homemade choc and banana brownie drizzled with an orange sauce and served with greek yoghurt and honey

I haven't had breakfast yet so dinner last night was broccoli cheese soup with whole wheat crackers. My son hated it (he doesn't really like broccoli yet) but everyone else loved it.

Oatmeal with fresh apple, cinnamon and a little soy creamer.

Mixed leaf salad with red pepper, cherry tomatoes and spring onion with a honey and wholegrain mustard dressing

Veggie sausages with fried onion and a leek and potato bake with a cheese, breadcrumb and smoked paprika topping

Fresh pineapple

Breakfast was kind of strange. I had rolled oats and a Golden Delicious apple, which wasn't strange at all... but then I had about 1/3 of a veggieburger left over from last night's dinner to go with it.

An Amy's tofu scramble wrap, they're pretty good!

Amy's American burger between two thick slices of homemade French bread with a swipe of chipotle Vegenaise. It was awesome!

Homemade chilli with lots of beans and spicy chipotles!

Chili rellenos, refried beans, corn, and Spanish rice

Lentils and rice. Apple and pineapple.

Sauteed Swiss chard, mustard greens, sweet onion, red bell pepper, and mushrooms, seasoned with a little coconut amino/garlic powder/dulse granules.....served with butternut squash fries, seasoned with garlic powder/rosemary, and steamed fresh broccoli drizzled with fresh lemon juice.

So many colors, textures and delicious flavors in your meal. Vegan food is so much more interesting than a meat-centered diet!

Half a key lime Daiya cheezcake. I'm not a fan of Daiya fake cheese but this was awesome!

I had my mom's homemade vegetarian chili! It was made with carrots, veggie sausage, mushrooms, and 5 varieties of beans. It is so hearty and filling, that I forget that there is no real meat in it! Nothing beats mom's home cooking. It paired well with rose dry wine
