Posted Monday, September 5, 2011 at 4:31 AM I started similar threads on the other Kickstarts I was a part of. It can be a great place to get ideas for your vegan meals and snacks! Everyone who feels like it...please post what you ate vegan today! Some of us are following the Kickstart menu closely, others are using it partially, and some are DIY vegans! It really is inspiring to see what others are eating; it helps to remind you that you aren't alone in this journey...AND you may get great ideas of new things to try! September Kickstart Goals: Walk/bike daily, keep up with forum, 100% low-fat vegan experimenting with maximizing FLAVOR! www

Posted Monday, September 5, 2011 at 4:37 AM Plan for Day 1: Breakfast: Soaked oatmeal with strawberries and dates. Snack: Sprout Salad with Grape Tomatoes Lunch: Dr. McDougall Soup Cup Dinner: Green salad, mustard-coated squash steamer bowl, steam-sauted potatoes. Don't laugh at the Sprout Salad! It is one of my favorite summertime treats! We have "The Sprout Sisters" at our farmer's market, and they make an amazing assortment of sprouts each week. This week, I have 3 bean mix and daikon radish. I love daikon sprouts! They taste just like radishes without all the fussiness of topping and tailing. I get a nice bowl of combined sprouts and top generously with orange and red grape tomatoes. If you get a tomato in each bite, there's no need for dressing; the tomato covers that!

Posted Monday, September 5, 2011 at 8:08 AM For breakfast: Rice, black beans (from scratch), homemade salsa and onions and peppers. Haven't really planned the rest of my day, but the confetti couscous salad will be in there as well as curried lentils (recipe from the garden of vegan) YUM!!Will probably cook up either kale or collards (from my garden) with red onions (Christina Pirello) or both versions. and I have fruit also. So that is basically going to be my day... Kathy

Posted Monday, September 5, 2011 at 3:06 PM Well, I haven't had much today other than breakfast, OJ and sparkling water but last night we made pizza dough in our bread machine (we got it free on Freecycle as we've made a pledge not to buy anything new) and when the dough was ready we divided it into 4 portions, rolled each out into a circle and filled them with pesto, daiya mozzarella cheese, marinated artichokes, green olive slices and peppers and tomatoes from our garden. Then we folded them over, crimped them shut and popped them onto a pre-heated pizza stone at 375 for 20 min. They were the best calzones I have had in a long while and since the dough was mixed, kneaded and did the rising in the bread machine it took almost no work except chopping the veggies. And even better, because we made 4 we have 2 left over for lunches or another dinner later this week. Easy, vegan and gets us out of cooking a second night. What's not to love?
