So, we're planning to bring chili queso with chips using hubby's veggie chili and the not-cheese sauce. --Deb R

Morning: smoothie with frozen banana, light soy milk, carob powder, flaxseeds (golden ones this time), date, honey, and ice. Mid-Morning: 2 slices whole grain sprouted bread with honey and a drizzle of sesame seed paste Afternoon: sweet and tangy Indian (???) cauliflower and green beans with chickpeas, served over whole grain couscous Evening: Big salad with chopped BBQ seitan and BBQ sauce/balsamic vinegar dressing; mashed potatoes Snacks: whole grain pretzels and dried fruit (1 serving of each) Bought some gorgeous and small (which is rare) green and red cabbage so I plan on making a nice big pot of sweet and sour cabbage with kidney beans to serve over whole grains. Should last me for 4-5 days (since I'm single and don't have a family to feed ). Djuna

My big plans for the weekend include going to Outback for dinner tonight (baked potato and steamed veggies without butter or oil for me! And a beer...) then we're getting pedicures. Girl's night out. Tomorrow... playing video games on my new PS3. I'm a bit of a geek... \ So, today. Still doing Mary's mini (though wasn't too strict about it this week). I did manage to lose a couple of pounds during the 5 days, so I'm happy with that. b: hash browns with broccoli (ran out of spinach), no oil. s: nothing! Didn't have time. And I'm hungry now. l: baked potato topped with lots of veggies, and about 1/2 cup of split pea soup. s: not sure. I have a lovely apple and a banana. d: see above. Don't forget the Nut Brown Ale!

Posted Friday, January 28, 2011 at 3:18 PM B: cinnamon raisin oatmeal L: black bean patty, green salad D: leftover Asian soup, salad or steamed veggies Does anyone know what the vitamix diet is? My daughter went back to college and was asking? I know about the machine (which I don't have), just wondered if there was a specific menu?

I am having oatmeal for breakfast sweetened with a brown rice syrup instead of sugar. Lunch - don't know yet. It will be some sort of veggies as I am having lunch at my Moms. Dinner - I don't know yet. Probably a wholemeal wrap with whatever fillings I have in the refrigerator. By the way my Mom is 83 and still loves to cook for the family. She has always cooked my food away from the meat the rest of the family eats and respects that I was vegetarian but becoming vegan may be a little more of a challenge for her, as eggs and cheese are often in recipes she cooks. I think my solution will be to take some ingredients and leave there (like Orgran vegan gravy mix) so its on hand. I can hear someone suggesting I cook and take food to her but you dont know my Mom. She is not Italian but could be in the kitchen. She still wants to cook for her family and is lucky enough to be healthy enough to do it. I believe I have eating at home sorted. It's eating out thats my challenge and what I need to work on. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates.

Probably a wholemeal wrap with whatever fillings I have in the refrigerator. we're doing wraps too - hubby should even now be making up the 'tunot' or 'mock tuna' and getting ready to make the flour to make the tortillas Quote: I think my solution will be to take some ingredients and leave there (like Orgran vegan gravy mix) so its on hand. Maybe you and mom can do a little shopping trip sometime so she can see where in the market certain things are and then she'll have them there at her house without you transporting it(your 'treat' of course) or she'll know where to find them if she runs out and she's planning to have you over to dinner. I love grocery shopping with a friend if there's no time constraint - time to chit chat and explore new/different foods (because invariably someone else's 'everyday' food has something new to me and vice versa). --Deb R

We often do garden centre trips together and have a lot of fun - don't know why I didnt think of a grocery trip. I have also just completed the kickstart survey and signed up for the April kickstart. Already looking forward to it. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates.

The "beanaise" came out well too, so we'll be using that for other things (cole slaw for example). I went grocery shopping and checked with him to see if he wanted me to buy more tuna for him. He said "as long as we have the not-tuna, I'm fine, don't need more tuna" Good thing we bulk ordered garbanzos and white beans at the co-op! --Deb R
