Spiced Carrot and Celery Soup Colourful, lively and warming. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 teaspoon of curry powder 6 medium carrots, roughly chopped 4 large sticks of celery, cut into pieces 2 pints/4 cups/1200ml of water seasalt to taste Fry the onion and garlic in the oil for a few minutes and then add the curry powder and stir to release the flavours. Add the carrots, celery and water and cook gently until the vegetables are tender. Whizz up in a liquidiser/blender until smooth and add salt.

Posted Monday, January 24, 2011 at 8:33 AM b: the usual cereal, plant milk l: black bean patty, ketchup and homemade pickles (no bread/bun), and a side of veggie slaw d: spinach and beet green vegan quiche s: apple, banana And, I'll probably have another snack after dinner, not sure what but something yummy and fun. Tomorrow should be "fun" (not) prepping for colonoscopy (routine, nothing suspected but I'm 'of an age' and my dad's sister is a colon cancer survivor). Makes me really nervous to think about only juice and vegetable broth (and water) all day - I'll be obsessively checking my blood sugar levels all day for sure. Took the day off so I don't have to deal with that and being at work, driving back and forth, etc. --Deb R

Posted Monday, January 24, 2011 at 10:16 AM Well, now that the 21 days is over, I'm going to do a "Mary's Mini" for a few days (for you McDougallers out there, you know what I'm talking about). b: hash browns, no oil, spinach s: banana l: baked potato(s) smothered with steamed veggies s: McDougall soup cup, maybe an apple d: baked potato(s) smothered with steamed veggies (different veggies than at lunch). The idea with M'S M is to get back to basics and simplicity. Pick one starch as the basis of your meals, plus veggies to take up about half your plate. And do that for EVERY meal for as long as you do the mini (I am doing 5 days, M - F this week). It gets boring and a bit blah. So, after a couple of days you don't eat so much. It is a little "mini" diet. I'm doing it because I gained a couple of poundes during the kick-start (too many good recipes!) and need to get back to basics.

The carrots are shredded and the celery is sliced.. it is definatly spicy. It is really good for how simple it is. I am sure i put way more carrots and celery in it. I shreded too many carrots and I had 3 additonal stalks of celery that needed using.. So i had 5 cups of water instead of 4. I like a thick soup. so here is the fixed up recipe. Spiced Carrot and Celery Soup 1 large onion, chopped 3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 heaping teaspoon of hot curry powder 6+ medium carrots, grated 4 large sticks of celery, sliced pieces 4-6 cups of water Sautee onion & garlic in water for a few mins. Add curry powder; stir to release the flavors. Add the 4 cups water. Then add enough carrots and celery to make a hearty soup. If you have a few extra chopped veggies or it’s too spicy you can add more water. Taste and adjust. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until the vegetables are tender. (abt 8 min) Use a stick blender to wiz some of the soup to provide a thicker base. Recipe inspired by: http://www.veganfamily.co.uk/carrot.htm

Posted Monday, January 24, 2011 at 6:35 PM haa haa i made the chili mac.. it was wonderful. thanks lisa for the encouragement.. we were sitting at the table sweating eating it..since it is below zero outside, any heat was welcome heat.. then i made corn muffins.. we liked them.. i used 2 cups corn meal 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup unsweetened soy milk 4 tsp baking powder 3 Tablespoons honey just mixed it all together... put in muffin tin..(silacone) Baked about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. They are corn tasting..medium to heavy density.. to the point of being lightly chewy. You could probably leave out the honey if you wanted to. the only reason i added it was someone told me honey makes things lighter and keeps baked goods from going bad a little longer.. I can't say they are sweet, but they are good. We are keeping that recipe and would make them the same way again.

Posted Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 6:27 AM Today was a rough start to the week - I had some car issues that fouled up my whole day! I ended up having a slice of regular cheese pizza at night out of pure frustration, and I got very sick to my stomach. I was lactose intolerant before the kickstart, but now that I've "cleaned" my system in a sense I think putting that much dairy back in my body was a really bad idea. So I'm starting over again for Tuesday B- toasted bagel with earth balance L- leftover chili mac D- slice of cheese-stomach pain inducing pizza Check out my blog as I do the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart! http://vegamorphosis.blogspot.com www

Posted Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 7:15 AM OH LISA... ouch.. i feel for you.. reminds me the other day kg and i were going into the supermarket. Right beside the supermarket there is a pizza place.. wow it smelled delious.. we started talking. saying pizza smelled really good... then we realized it wasn't pizza we were smelling ...it was garlic... it was more like warm garlic bread... we can have that! and the urges went away.. it was more like a shoulder shrug.. oh well... you know i think it might have helped some newbies that we shared the urges and that we are not all perfect.. i am glad we did...

Posted Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 7:55 AM So true, because I've made cheese-less pizza and it's just delicious! It's all about the sauce/seasonings and veggies for me. Last night out of pure frustration and no time to cook - I gave in to the take out place. Big mistake! I actually feel like I have a hang over today if that makes sense. I was up all night with stomach pains. Just awful. Back on track today. Check out my blog as I do the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart! http://vegamorphosis.blogspot.com www
