i love to toast dark bread and then eat it with honey, sliced strawberries and some fresh mint.

or quickly heat some nutbread and eat it with bree, slices of apple and honey.

bread with banana, sugar and some drops of lemon juice makes a great snack too.

Good call about the wraps. All I'm eating for lunch at the moment is falafel-wraps with yoghurt in them.

I eat toast about every other morning with my eggs.

My daily breakfast is three eggs, scrambled, sometimes mixed with salsa and a tiny bit of cheese.

And coffee with cream.

falafel is the best meat replacer ever, when it's the right kind. i now go to organic shops to get it, since they don't have any decent kind in the regular supermarkets (my parents are in charge of the groceries and they dont have the ime to go to any other shop)

All you need is mozzarella cheese, sliced veggies, olive oil, pita pockets, and a grill. Brush the pita with oil, layer on the veggies and cheese, and then grill until the pita is crisp, the veggies are tender and the cheese is melted.

Ingredients
1 pita bread round
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 tablespoons pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
Your choice of veggies

Directions

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Spread one side of the pita with olive oil and pizza sauce. Top with cheese and mushrooms, and season with garlic salt.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Place pita pizza on grill, cover, and cook until cheese completely melts, about 5 minutes.

Sounds so good.

three eggs a day? that's what my nutritionist told me to have in one week! and i can have more eggs than non-vegetarians for some reson (don't remember why exactly)

oooh la la!

sounds great!

so many good recipes in this thread! i will have to report back monday night.

Yes, it's not easy to find good falafels. You're also right that they don't make you miss eating meat at all.

My physician told me it's fine. Since I work out everyday, she said it's a great way to add protein (which helps muscle tone).

The worry over yolks is hype. Eggs in the morning also take me all the way to lunch. If I don't have them, I'm starving by mid-morning and then I resort to eating junk like donuts.

With eggs I find that I prefer frying them using butter, rather than oil.

butter makes everything taste better.... even if you're english.

ok then, im not working out every day (unless you count stressing and running around as a real workout) so i guess i'm better off with my muesli-yoghurt-apple breakfast :P

and sarramkrop: i never miss eating meat since i became a vegetarian because i didn't like meat at all. the problem with me is that i hate the texture and taste of most meat replacers (they try to be like meat) so i usually have nuts or beans in my dishes.

Ha ha. Yeah. A little butter is fine.

a bit of salted butter with chocolate sprinkles on bread. mm.

I use a lot of Good Eats recipes. Today I made Potato and Leek soup. I'm also known to make a damn fine pizza, but I use boxed crust.

And yeah, butter makes everything better. I use like 1/4 of a stick to make 2 friend sandwiches .

I require the flesh of living beings!!!!!!!!

I knew that I should have specified further than" :(:(:(" and her dislike of meat.

she'll eat meat, sometimes (just not often). thinking about my earlier post made me fear a new fascist meatless regime.

HALP!

<<((("now to get gg out of the house while I "help" mi sancha make fish taco."))

I've got some tv dinners in the fridge.

Maybe I'll have one for breakfast.



And then drown myself in my tub. /angst

Sure, I'll probably have lost all will to live after finishing only the mac n cheese side.

your pestilences--

here's something i made for lunch today (easy as fuck)

1) a small red onion, cut in 2 halves lengthwise, then flat on the board and across to make very thin half-rings with it.

2) put in a non-reactive bowl or tray. add some vinegar. usually i use red but this time i had to empty a bottle of balsamic. then i supplemented with (gasp!) apple cider vinegar. it doesn't really fucking matter-- just splash with vinegar-- as long as it's not white distilled vinegar (good for washing windows and doing laundry) you should be fine.

3) cut about 4 tomatos. i get rid of the seeds. round slices are nice but whatever works. i chopped it small.

4) add some basil. i always have dried basil at home so i tossed in lots of it.

--

at this point you can let it sit for 20 minutes, add olive oil, and eat. if you want more substantial stuff, proceed.

--

5) after the onion has mellowed (20 mins?) take a couple of cans of chunk white tuna, drained of water, work in your hands to break it down and toss. add more olive oil.

6) eat with a nice lettuce (romaine, red leaf, etc), a good bread, and the wine of your choice.

easy and fucking delicious. soak your bread in the glorious elixir at the bottom.
