When I first became a vegetarian I did it slowly, and used replacements often, as I became more comfortable with just veggies, grains and legumes I gave up more and more of the fake meat products. I use seitan and tofu every week but only if I am busy or it is a special occasion do I use fake meat. Swapping vegetables…

We play games (scrabble, boggle, bowling, Wii), go for a day hike at some near by parks or ride our bikes (usually to a bar)

This said I need 92.5 oz a day!!! (non-drinking days:drinker: ) and if my diet is healthy (which it is on non-drinking days:drinker: ) about 20% will come from food, so I should drink about 74 ounces of water per day!!! I aim for about 10 glasses on MFP tracker. :bigsmile:

I ate super fast last night so this is a pic of lunch today. The filling is taking over my soft taco shell and that is 1/4th of an avocado. This was the most delicious taco I have made at home!!! The veggies were okay.

hummus, Sprouted grain tortillas, carrots and cucumber, coffee are my daily vegan foods, oh and some sort of granola bar on the weekdays. Every week I eat basically the same dinners: taco night, giant salad night, vietnamese take-out night, snack plate night (olives, crackers, hummus, loads of veggies, maybe some cheese),…

I definately reccommend joining the vegetarian and vegan groups on this site, then you can make friends and see what else people are eating that are similar to your own dietary choice. I eat vegetarian with only some cheese and eggs (I had a very hard time giving up eggs while completely vegan b/c my family raises chickens…

This sounds like a good and easy and sounds like what I am going to do for dinner tomorrow...I will be cooking with seitan for the first time....any suggestions

I havent cooked something new for a while so tonight I'm having Taco's made with Field Roast Chorizo vegan sausages, mushrooms, onions and red peppers...topped with avocado!!! I'm also going to roast some cauliflower and broccoli

I am also a newbie to cycling and have called it biking a lot. I have learned that motorcycles refer to themselves as bikers more that bicyclists do. There are some very serious riders in Louisville, KY and I don't pretend to be even in the same relm as them. I ride my bike to and from work, bars, grocery store and every…

I have hummus and veggies almost everyday... Oasis brand hummus has the best flavor (in my opinion) and lowest calories. Veggies I dip...carrots, celery, cucumber, peppers, cherry tomatoes.... There is a full kitchen where I work and so I don't have much prep...just bring the veggies, clean them when I am ready to eat, and…

Last night I had homemade veggie hand rolls...they were so easy and perfect for just one person. I prepped all my ingredients and sat down to dinner and assembled each roll, one at a time. Japanese Burritos 3 sheets of Nori (apparently you toast this over the stove for a minute) left over brown rice 1/5 block of tofu -…

I am closer to 1500 or 1400 (if i am a good girl) and my diary is completely open... you can even see how badly I did this weekend :devil:

A beer and tatertots...an offer of one of those always ends in a YES!!!

Tortillas - they are delicious and handy for eating hummus and cheese or eggs... They make a meal better. and sadly :drinker: Alcohol... I drink WAY too many calories.... a goal of mine over the next few weeks is to cut it down and out!!!!

I was thinking the same thing this morning... some how I had lost motivation and wasn't working out. It felt like the only time I had for free time I was saying " I need to workout, but don't want to..." I just turned it around and made myself do something at the gym or outside for 20-30 minutes and instead of saying "I…

I also have a job that keeps me in my seat for more than 6 hours a day. I like to do arm circles, tree pose at the copier, calf raises, lundges or squats. I set an alarm to go off every hour that reminds me to stop and move for 90 seconds. I work in a small building and there isn't a lot of space so most of it happens at…

Love this website and catalog.... http://bounce.titlenine.com/ Best Bra's EVER!!!

I had to look it up on Urban Dictionary..

stuffed bell peppers with the Flax seed Tempeh I sauted an onion, tons of mushrooms and the tempeh (crumbled it into the pan), I added to it some Braggs and other seasonings (think taco flavors) then for color added some frozen peas... I stuffed that into two red bell peppers that I had hollowed out and baked for 15-20…

I'm going to start wearing a rubber band and snap myself when I am hungry!?!?!? Or when I am hungry I will do sit-ups, YEAH RIGHT!!!! Good stuff!!:devil:

My mom will put a frozen artichoke in ANYTHING but the best thing I have ever had it in, suprisingly, was spaghetti sauce!!! She didn't even chop them up, just let them simmer in the pan with everything else. (this made it easier for her grandsons to pick around them) I like to put them in with some roasted vegetables...…

Luna bars are usually sold individually in the "health food" section or supplements section of a grocery store... they are DELICIOUS!!!! blue berry bliss tastes like a blue berry poptart, and the Lemon Zest tastes like girl scout cookies, the chocolate covered coconut is like an almond joy!!! they run about $1 per bar,…

I will be making this tonight... it is sitting in the fridge ready to bake!!! Ingredients: 2 cups (uncooked) whole wheat Penne 5 cups of pasta sauce (I made mine from scratch with lots of chunky mushrooms and onions!) 1 - 15oz container of Part-skim Ricotta cheese 1 tbs. fresh rosemary (or basil) 2 tbs. garlic (minced) 2…

I make a vegan soup every week to have for lunch throughout the week. This weeks soup is "beef less" vegetable soup vegetable bouilon, herbs, potatoes, peas, corn, kale, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, diced tomatoes and Lightlife crumbles Another good one is Pumpkin or butternut squash with kale and corn... I like to make…

My typical breakfast: (I eat this almost EVERY day) drop 1/5 of a block of tofu in a non-stick skillet, using a spatula break it up some (I stick to larger chunks) -sprinkle: a little tumeric for color, cumin, pepper, and liquid braggs - cook for about 5 minutes stirring so all sides get a little brown. - roll up in a…

My favorite bread is the Early Bird Multi-seed bread from Whole Foods. It is a whooper at 150 calories a slice but it is packed with poppy, sunflower, flax and other seeds that are totally worth it. Plus if I want a sandwich the slices are thick enough that I can carefully slice the bread in half and make two thin slices.…

Although I don't love the picture (everyone who is on a diet could use support - hence MFP) I feel there is no right or wrong to what you eat and no matter what you choose to eat, someone is judging you for that choice. You are the only judge that should matter so if you don't want to hear other's opinions, don't ask for…

I am also new to vegan, but vegetarian for longer and remember teasing my younger sister when she was a vegetarian about 5 years ago. But recently I have learned so much that I apologize everytime I see her. Last month I went to Wisconsin for a family reunion and as we were driving through the middle of nowhere I started…

I shop at whole foods all the time. The salad bar is the best when I dont feel like cooking and dont want to go out to eat. When that deal from living social came out I bought the max (2) and had my boyfriend get one!! They were gone in a week. Usually we get produce, hummus, bread, tofu, cereal and milk, lots of canned…

I start my day with a tofu scramble on very seedy bread or a tortilla or almond milk with some protein powder and Kashi shredded wheat I have two snacks per day and they are always a protein and a fruit or vegetable. (ie. hummus and carrots, apple and almonds, protein powder and 1/2 luna bar) Lunch is usually a soup or a…
