Congrats!

I work full time, have 2 children and find that if I don't wake up early and get exercise out of the way things pop up later that sidetrack me. But it's so hard for me to get moving at 5:30 AM ! 25-30 minute workouts are my friends (Beachbody T25 is one of my favorites) ! On weekends my husband keeps them busy so that I…

Anyone looking for a yummy option at Starbucks? The Hearty Veggie and Brown Rice Bowl is really good.

Try the Happy Cow website. It always helps me find veggie friendly restaurants.

Breakfast - Banana, Lunch- Vegetable Soup, Dinner will need to be on the go so I'm planning on a Subway Veggie Delight sandwich

Breakfast- whole wheat wrap filled with sliced bananas, peanut butter and flax seed. Lunch- Leftovers: Vegan Picadillo with rice Dinner-??? I have been sitting in traffic for two hours! It usually only takes a half hour to get home. I guess I will see what I'm in the mood for when I get there . Definitely not in the…

Anyone else live near White Castle? They are now offering a vegan Black Bean slider in addition to the veggie slider. I hope to get there soon and check it put.

I have used it as a ground beef substitute in chili.

Just made this vegan banana bread. Yummy! http://www.isachandra.com/2011/11/marbled-banana-bread/

You always make you oatmeal look so yummy!

That's amazing! I have to make that for my youngest son. He loves monster cookies

Hi! I'm also a vegetarian trying to transition to more of a vegan diet. Feel free to add me!

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 !

I am making some vegetable soup to eat throughout the week. Monday: Gardein Mandarin orange chicken over salad Tuesday- Vegan Picadillo Wednesday- Pasta with Cauliflower Alfredo Thursday - Curry Friday- My niece's Sweet 16 Party Saturday - Will depend on how much I eat and drink at the party !

Breakfast- Toast made with Ezekiel bread and Earth Balance spread Lunch- Amy's Frozen Dinner Dinner - Not sure yet.....

You're doing great! I have 15- 20 lbs to lose. I'm thinking that I will see how I look after the 15 and see if I need to keep going.

It seems like we all have problems growing cilantro !

Looks yummy!

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.

Thanks for directing me to the thread on air fryers. I'm going to seriously think about the Philips. I use the oven a lot and it would be so nice not to hear up the house in the summer.

No breakfast today- no desire to eat with my sinus headache. Lunch- 6" Subway Veggie Delight Dinner - Not sure. Still not feeling very hungry. I'll see what my family is in the mood for and work around that. I'm looking forward to shopping tomorrow and start working through all of the recipes that I saved to Pinterest.

Those cookbooks look great. Can't wait to hear how the recipes turn out!

Does anyone have an air fryer? Do you think it's worth it? I have so many cooking gadgets I don't want to spend money on something I'll end up not using.

I love to plant basil. Then I make pesto all summer long! I tried to plant cilantro since I use it in my guacamole but didn't have any luck with it.

Breakfast - Banana Lunch- Art Vandalay Jr. Burrito from Moe's. With a flour tortilla, rice, black beans , veggies and guacamole it totaled 404 calories. Not too bad. Dinner- Its my wedding anniversary! Will be going out for either Indian or Japanese (our local restaurant makes really creative vegetarian rolls). If we go…

Congrats!

Thanks for sharing that! I'm in the city all the time and never heard about it. Added to my list of places to try

Wow! These all look delicious! For lower calorie vegan recipes I would recommend the cookbook "Appetite for Reduction"

I heard the Chicago Diner has amazing vegan food. I hope to eat there someday
