Their Buffalo Wings are spicey little morsels I'm totally addicted to! www.gardein.com You may have seen Chef Tal Ronnen on Oprah, he uses these products in some of his recipes. He has a cookbook called "The Conscious Chef." You'll find some of the products in the freezer section, some in the refrigerator section. Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

Substituted one of the 3 cups of water with unsweetened organic rice milk, and used only 1/3 cup of raisins. My son and I woke up to warm, yummy, slightly chewy goodness. We added frozen organic blueberries to cool the porridge off, and he almost gobbled it all up before I even sat down with him! Thanks Doc!

cmarlow Joined: 01/04/10 Posts: 6	RE: Week 2: What I Ate Vegan Today Posted Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 7:43 PM Finding I'm eating similar things every day, but since I'm really picky and don't like to cook, I figure slowly I will find new things...at least I hope so! Breakfast: 1 cup blueberries w/agave 2 packets McDougall oatmeal (part at 7, other at 10-I teach kinder and am STARVING by this time even on the weekend as I get up at 5-even on the weekned) Lunch: 2 cups potato soup w/steamed broccoli thrown in Snack: Huge salad of organic mixed greens (make it in an 8 cup tupperware), with a big handful of each: red cabbage and carrots, lots of cherry tomatoes 1/4 red bell pepper, some cucumber, slices of zucchini, and the bad part...Newman's low fat sesame ginger dressing 2tbsp...it's the only dressing I like other than ranch so...and I don't need to lose weight-although I know no oil is better...baby steps Dinner: 3 corn tortillas, whole pinto beans, salsa fresca, a little guacamole, lettuce I think I still need to eat more as I'm really hungry by snack, lunch, snack, dinner and I have woken up hungry. I don't love veggies that much or fruit for that matter but I am enjoying what I have been eating so far. Anyone else out there the same?

Around 11:30 since I slept in since its a weekend. tofu scramble- It was amazing. Thanks to various people on the thread I started I knew how to get the water out. Then followed a recipe online. A bannana Glass or orange juice Two bread with Jam Forgot to grab food this morning to bring so I could have something to eat while reffing. Huge mistake. So hungry. After came home and right away made.... Dinner/ Lunch kind of.. A big huge plate of spaghetti. Im going to make something to eat since Im hungry. A salad sounds pretty good right now.

It was fantastic and so quick and easy. I served it with grape tomatoes and sliced tea smoked tofu (store bought). I can't say enough about the bok choy recipe. I'm already planning to make it again.
