I have so many recipes saved! You can follow me if you like. It's under Jodie Parente. This week I think that I am going to try Vegan Picadillo, Cauliflower Alfredo sauce, a soup and a curry. I would like to also try some mason jar salads.

Breakfast- two 8 grain waffles and strawberry jam

Lunch- a cheese, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, and pickled onion sandwich on 21 grain bread, and an organic lemonade my husband brought me back from the local health food store.

Snack- half an Amy's apple pie.

Supper- An Italian "chicken" cutlet I made from white beans, gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, and an entire can of string beans.

Lemonade! I have a couple of bottles of completely natural Fentiman's Rose Lemonade in my fridge but I'm saving them. I had originally bought them for Easter and didn't get around to drinking them and they're too nice for regular everyday drinking.

I tried brie the other day and it was nice! I didn't really eat enough of it to know whether my IBS would stage a protest (results inconclusive because of my period) but I'm hopeful. If not, I'll just eat small amounts of it on a crispbread.

Curried potatoes are pretty much my favourite vegetarian dish, I could eat them all day everyday.

I had a square of my favourite dark chocolate with orange pieces and almonds while I was making dinner. It's quite funny because I was hungry and since that realisation I have shoved a small crustless quiche, two portions of veg, chocolate, a ricecake and a 1.5 scoop of protein powder shake and a cup of rose lemonade tea (Taylor's brand, so darn good) into my body. Definitely not hungry now! Just gotta get working on my water now. Been slacking as I woke up late today.

Breakfast was the usual; porridge, latte, water. Lunch was a sandwich, with not sausage sausage and a caramel with dark chocolate sprinkles yoghurt, tasty but very sweet, and then I had a protein shake and a dark chocolate with orange rice cake before my piggy sesh just now. Oh and sugar free lemon and lime water (1.5l). I walked to the shop and treated myself while I was buying more steam bag veg.

Planning on having my first meat dinner in a week tomorrow but I'll probably bury it in veg. I'm out for lunch so I'll see what I can grab. Read: sushi.

Breakfast: Steel cut oatmeal with cranberries and almonds
Lunch: the crusts of my daughter's PB sandwich and we shared a tropical smoothie
Dinner: I made tacos with lentil "meat" so delicious. Topped with guacamole, cheese, greens, and plain Greek yogurt.

Not really hungry today as I'm in a lot of tummy pain but I've already got my day planned whether I like it or not.

Breakfast is the same as always, a&c porridge, but today I used vanilla almond milk over hazelnut milk -- I have a stash of nut milks and I go by sell by dates as to what I open next. It was pretty sweet after the hazelnut milk which is sweeter than regular almond milk so I felt kind of high on sugar. Today was my last latte for awhile. I did an experiment and it's what's bloating me and making my tummy hurt. I'll go caffeine free for a couple of weeks and reintroduce it as a sporadic thing.

Lunch was an orange vanilla yoghurt with dark chocolate sprinkles and a granary loaf - seriously the best most interesting wholegrain/meal bread there is - with my sausage not sausage filling. Protein shake afterwards with a dark chocolate orange covered rice cake.

Dinner I'm making my own pizza with a tortilla wrap. Might make it vegan, might not. Will probably have sweetcorn and peppers on it. Will have another protein shake and rice cake after and a square of dark chocolate with orange and almond pieces while I cook. Can you tell I like chocolate and orange? Funny because I don't like oranges or orange juice.

I've been craving comfort foods this week (for me that is warm, fatty foods) instead of fruit and greens. Hopefully that turns around soon !

And I have been the opposite! LMAO. Not wanting to eat anything too heavy, but already have everything planned for this week so it is what it is. The next 2 weeks I am going light and easy on the tummy as much as possible.

And I round out the trifecta because I just want to eat! GIMME ALL THE FOOD.

Yesterday ---
- Breakfast: PB2 peanut butter, sliced banana, and chia seeds on 2 slices of toasted Ezekiel Sprouted Flax bread.
- Lunch: 6" Veggie Delite sub on white w/ no cheese. I also had about half a bag of Lay's potato chips (guilty).
- Snack: My husband and I experimented with Minimalist Baker's "Vegan Cheddar & Chive Biscuits" which were super good but also pretty indulgent for just two.
- Dinner: Baked falafel with cucumber salad and vegan tzatziki.

Today I'm eating the same breakfast, leftover falafel for lunch, and attempting to make Beet & Quinoa burgers for dinner
