In my pre-vegan days, I loved sliced deli turkey and cheese sandwiches. I have missed being able to throw together a tasty cold sandwich when I'm in a hurry or it's just too hot to cook.

Today, I splurged at the grocery and bought Tofurky peppered deli slices (which are a pastrami style) and Violife smoked provolone slices. I added some mustard and sliced onions, and I am pretty darned happy with the result.

@Callender Girl Awesome-good to know that is tastes pretty good. I love hearing about experiences others have with some of the 'fake' meats and dairy products as I am not too picky, but hate to buy a whole package of something if it just isn't good.

Got some cranberry orange Abe's brand mini muffins yesterday, yum, perfect with my cup of tea this afternoon.

Made the youngest some french toast this morning with corn starch and water instead of eggs, maybe not the most nutritional but she gobbled up 3 pieces with her blueberries :)

I can relate! Before I went vegan, I LOVED lamb kebabs. Junk food, but delicious. Since going vegan Ive tried so many vegan options but none were quite right- I have now found the best vegan substitute! And its healthy!
They've also made a new vegan coleslaw which is perfect, so I put it together in a wrap with some chili sauce and yum! So good!

So I admit, of late I have sunk into junkfood vegan patterns- which means too much salt and sugar and not enough vits!
My partner (also vegan) has been at me for agggges to eat better. I often skip meals too which just isn't good, yesterday he shared his homemade hummus recipe- and I copied a lunch he often makes. Except customised slightly because I didn't have all the ingredients.
Falafels, homemade hummus, bell pepper and olive salad, pasta tossed in vegan mayo!
YUM!
I did NOT expect it to taste that good!
So refreshing on a hot summer day. The hummus was incredible. I could literally eat it plain with a spoon lol.
I'm pretty proud of myself! Tonight I'm having left over homemade pizza with a mixed bean salad, very excited for it!

In the pursuit of better eating, I have been experimenting with lots of meal ideas- These are both big favourites! Baked potato with the insides mashed with a little vegan butter, then stuffed with blended seasoned kidney or black beans. A colourful salad, hummus, falafels, tortilla chips, coleslaw (vegan)- I really loved these! Perfect on a hot day too!

Yesterday I made these fried potato bites, which werent as healthy but still homemade from potatoes. They were so good! I'll probably make more soon and share the recipe/photos!

Hey guys.
I'm not vegan or vegetarian, I couldn't possibly give up milk or cheese or meat! But I am trying to cut down on eating too much bird meat. All the meat, eggs and milk I eat/drink is from my local shop (won lots of awards for animal welfare) and is organically sourced. I will not eat it if it's not organic. I've also done a school presentation on battery farming, it's disgusting.
