(Link) The idea is simple, just do a quick post saying what you ate at your last vegan meal. I know some people will just be following the menu plan, but others of us will probably be pursuing our own ideas. Threads like this are a good source of ideas.

That doesn't seem like much breakfast but I was having an early lunch at my favorite vegan restaurant. Lunch; 2 Sprout Wraps - They are awesome, I could go there and just eat sprout wraps as fast as they could make them. House salad and Ramen soup. All of it was totally YUM. I actually ate too much, was totally full by the time I left, but it was incredible. Fortunately for me it's not close enough to be really convenient or I would probably gain weight eating there too often. Not sure what dinner is going to be, right now I'm not remotely hungry. May just have a salad or some steamed veggies. Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

Susan Levin Joined: 12/26/09 Posts: 1191	RE: What I ate vegan today... Posted Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 9:46 PM I'm always amazed how easy it is to make red lentils. I buy them in bulk and keep them in my freezer all year round. Tonight I came home and threw a cup of lentils and a cup of wild rice into a pot and boiled them together until they were done. I put some spices in it and presto - a healthful dinner with minimal cleanup. My favorite kind of meal! Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

Posted Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 11:39 PM Today's vegan foods: Breakfast: fried potatoes with ketchup Lunch: Vegan sushi (avocado rolls) Dinner: Pasta with a very garlicky spinach pesto (a little oil, a LOT of garlic, some frozen spinach, and a bit of vegan pesto I froze last time I made it. Very good.) Serene Vannoy, Oakland, CA -- My daily Kickstart blog: http://serenecooking.livejournal.com/tag/kickstart

Posted Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 4:12 PM So far today, I had miso soup with tofu that my partner taught my kid to make. It was sweet of them to take care of me (I was having a rough morning). My lunch is going to be non-veg, and I'm not sure about dinner, but tomorrow, look out! Serene Vannoy, Oakland, CA -- My daily Kickstart blog: http://serenecooking.livejournal.com/tag/kickstart

For lunch, I had Anasazi Bean and Kabocha Squash stew. I used the recipe in The Kind Diet, which uses Black Soy Beans instead. I was out of them, so used Anasazi this time. Either way, it's a great recipe. Delicious!! For dinner, we are having lentils and greens, salad, and citrus fruit for dessert... and champagne!

Wild4Stars Joined: 12/27/09 Location: Florida Posts: 832	RE: What I ate vegan today... Posted Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 8:12 PM I made the soup. Didn't really use a recipe. I can tell the basics of what I did. I had 3 small, organic sweet potatoes that I had forgotten and realized they needed to be cooked. Peeled them and put them in a pot with: Veggie broth, about 2 cups 2-3 garlic cloves some cut up onion, probably about 1/4 - 1/2 cup Italian seasoning, about a tablespoon Covered and cooked it until the potaoes were good and tender. Removed the cover and cooked it down until there was only about a cup of broth left Put all of it in my VitaMix and blended until smooth. I had a very good sized serving and another is in the fridge for another day. It was pretty thick, so you could blend it with more broth if you like it more soupy. It could be done with any blender, I have even done it with a handheld since the potatoes are so soft after cooking. I know everyone thinks of sweet potatoes with marshmallows and brown sugar, but they really are good cooked with more savory seasonings! Sorry I couln't be more specific, I often cook that way.

Posted Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 8:52 PM (I cook that way, too, and I can't stand sweetened sweet potatoes. One of my favorite ways to eat them is just roasted with seasoned salt and pepper.)

Do you have a recipe for the black eyed peas or did you just wing it? For dinner I'm having black bean salad with whole wheat pasta, lemon and a bunch of parsley. It's nice and refreshing.
