Well you have given me plenty of ideas thanks ladies ...
Oh and Heather72 mmmmm Sardines on toast sounds um my kida girl......have to get me some tomorrow.....
I often have leftover of whatever we had the night before, just heated up to ridiculous. The girls at work laugh at me.
Massive amounts of vegie soup is a brilliant fall back - make a big pot (no potatoes though) and freeze it in single size servings, then have it with multigrain toast. Packs in so many nutrients, and truly is delicious.
Baked beans on toast is great too.
Corn Thins with Avocado (sometimes I add tofu for extra protein) or Hommus (I make my own)
Miso soup with udon noodles, silken tofu and wakame
Roast vegies with couscous or brown rice
Pasta cooked in vegie broth when I'm home and feeling crummy.
When I'm out and about... well, it's a bit hard. Vegan food that's not pre-prepared salad in Brisbane. I take my own... Or head to a cafe where I know the people working there and get them to sort me something out.
Audax - those lunches sound really yummy. What is wakame? I saw packet wakame soup in the supermarket when I bought miso soup and wondered what it is. I've never cooked pasta in vegie broth just in water. I assume the taste is different. When you say broth, is it quite thick or more like stock?
Today's lunch for me is jacket potatoes. I put them in the slow cooker over night. This morning, I grated some cheese and chopped up some spring onion. Put them all in my lunch box (separate compartments) I already have sour cream here at work. Will just reheat the potatoes and slather with dairy products And make sure I have loads of vegies tonight.
(The Brewer diet I'm trying to follow recommends 3 baked potatoes a week - something about the nutrients in the skins? - plus loads of dairy and at least 100g of protein a day)
Wakame is a seaweed product. You buy it dried and it reconstitutes in hot water. It's the green stuff you get floating in your miso soup. When I make miso, though, it's from fresh miso paste, then I add the wakame after it's cooked.
Pasta in vegie broth is good. I usually just chop up celery and carrot and boil them up then add pasta, and eat it as is. If you wanted to use tortellini or another filled pasta, you could, it's delish.
Frozen spinach cubes are a great wayt o add extra vegies to everything - the Heinz cubes are tiny and so easy to use. You could put two on each of your jacket potatoes. Also works added to any pasta sauce or broth. And voila, there's one more vegie counted towards your 5 a day.
