I love that soup, never would have bothered had it not been recommended but so tasty and quick

I had that last night, lush for something so easy! I doubled the spices, it was lovely and buttery! :drool: Too much lemon juice though. Deffo on the faves list tho

Arabian Lentil and Rice Soup.

I was going to make that until I saw there were carrots in it - love them raw but hate them cooked. Made this instead - Eggplant & Black Eyed Pea Curry | Post Punk Kitchen | Vegan Baking & Vegan Cooking
not enough taste IMO so added a couple of stock cubes, cumin, coriander and garam masala. It has curry powder in it which I don't usually buy but bought some for this but still added to it and in the end it was very good - another comfort food.

 

[ermintrude]

Yeah they all look pretty easy to make and not many ingredients, think I will have to seriously whack the spices/flavours up on most of them! You usually do on American recipes tho'

Love the pink plates

 

[systema]

Pots (especialy bowls) and things with plugs on are my weakness - oh and books!!!

Got these from Ikea and they also do them in Turquoise which may find their way into my bag if I can find an exuse to go up there again.

Dinner plate - deep plate - side plate and sudae glass/drinking glass.

It's difficult to make food sound delicious when typing what you've had for breakfast, lunch and dinner so your pics certainly bring the dishes to life....yum. I gave up meat 2 years ago but I still eat fish and I use quorn products and I still cook meat for my oh and kids although it's a lot less often now because they eat fish and quorn, beans and lentils too.......great diary!!!

 

[systema]

Thank you.

I started doing the photos because friends would say what on earth do you eat if you don't eat meat, they thought I lived on cheese sandwiches so when I came on here just carried on with it and it keeps me on the straight and narrowish.

Now they have my photobucket page they can see for themselves and it is quite funny as now they ask for veggie curry if they are coming round to eat.

My hubby eats meat but he is quite happy to eat veggie a few days a week as long as it is currry which suits me.

 

[Keldelacoe]

I'm the same with being vegan I have all my meals on Facebook as well as my diary.. If I don't post a meal for a few days ppl start asking if I'm ok lol. I find it helps keep me on track though

Went in Asda last night to get some yoghurt and came out with 4 of these 187 mls each.

Fancied a glass of wine but if I open a bottle the top never seems to go back on but these were brilliant - 4 for £5 on offer - and had a bottle with dinner last night for 7 syns.
