Aaand of course there's technical difficulties on the first post back! Well, for some reason blogger won't recognize that my photos are photos so I'll just have to describe what I ate, no time to draw!
Breakfast
A bowl of Lowan Wholefoods Swiss Musli (to which I added some chia seeds) with soy milk, and a glass of orange juice.
Lunch
A bowl of Amy's Lentil Soup which as I have said before, looks like vomit but tastes like awesome. Get on it.
Dinner
2 1/2 hot dogs with fried onions and mustard. We used Sanitarium Rosemary and Sage sausages and normal hot dog rolls from Woolworths.
Snacks
A cup of decaf tea with soy milk and an apple. Also some Glucojel jelly beans and some leftover pasta salad from the local fish and chip shop. As far as I can tell this is vegan.

Back by popular demand!
Hello everyone, and welcome back me! I have had a few people chastize me for not writing on this blog anymore and so here I am, and I apologize for being gone, dear readers.
Here's what happened:
Well, first I was quite sick. Then it was the last manic weeks of the uni semester where you suddenly realize that you're not at all prepared for your final assignments because you've spent all your study time blogging and doing other non-uni related things. Then the blissful uni holidays arrived and, well, then I was just lazy. That's the truth of it, sorry.
But now I've been spurred back into action by those who were brave enough to stand up and say "Hey, so what happened to your blog? I used to read it, like, everyday." Naww you guys...
Happy eating :)

Breakfast
A bowl of Uncle Toby's Plus Omega 3 with soy milk, and a tub of Goulburn Valley peaches in mango puree. I ate this light meal and then went for a big run!
Lunch
A tin of Heinz English Recipe Baked Beans, which I scoffed, without photographing, while cleaning the house.
Dinner
A Linda McCartney Vegetarian Country Pie with chips and Ahh! Bistro Chip Shop Curry Sauce (imported from the UK). Oh my god I can't get over how tasty these pies are! They are the best pies in the world! I could eat them all day every day and never get sick of them! And the pastry tastes so buttery! They are the best pies I have had in my life! Now I just have to find somewhere in Adelaide that sells them so I don't have to keep paying for postage... The Chip Shop Curry Sauce was also nice. We saw it in an imported lolly shop and decided to give it a try. It was quite tasty!

Breakfast
Fruit toast with Nuttelex, and a cup of ginger tea.
Lunch
Leftover take-away stir fry (veggies, tofu, rice vermicelli noodles, and black bean sauce).
Dinner
Went to TGI Fridays at Marion and ordered the only vegan thing on the menu, tomato pasta. I assumed that the pasta didn't have egg in it because otherwise I'd have nothing to eat and I'd ruin everyone else's nice dinner. So I assumed it would be vegan, it probably was. But then when it came they had put cheese on the top! What was I to do? For the aforementioned reasons I ate it. If I didn't eat it I'd just have to sit there starving while everyone else ate and I'd make them all feel awful for eating while there was nothing for me. I guess all you can do is try, at least it was vegetarian. Though come to think of it, Parmesan cheese is not vegetarian. Sigh... Because of this I'll tag this as 'Questionable Restaurant Vegetarian Food' because, to their credit, they didn't say it was vegan, they said it was vegetarian, which it is not either! The restaurant was nice though, next time I will just have to ask for no cheese.
I also had a Tropical Mai Tai cocktail.
And then a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri mocktail, didn't want to have too hazy a night!

Breakfast
Wholemeal toast with Nuttelex and marmite.
Lunch
Macro Wholefoods Organic Quick Oats (I took a measuring cup with me to measure out the water!), a tub of Goulburn Valley Peaches in Mango Puree, and an apple Leda bar.
Dinner
A takeaway stir-fry with rice vermicelli noodles, tofu, and veggies, in a black bean sauce. I also had a medium fries and cheeseburger with no meat and no cheese (love those pickles!) from McDonald's. I couldn't take a photo of these though as I had to eat them while walking. I only have 2 hands you know!
Snacks
Almost a whole block of Eskal Noble Choice dark chocolate with mint. God this was amazing! It had little crunchy mint bits in it!

Breakfast
A toasted poppy seed bagel with strawberry jam, which I forgot to take a photo of before I ate it. Sorry everyone, it was a public holiday and I was having a leisurely morning.
Lunch
Hot chips and sauce at IKEA.
Dinner
We had dinner at my mum's house. It was homemade tomato and coconut soup with sourdough bread with Nuttelex. I also had 3 cups of tea with soy milk.
For dessert there were ANZAC biscuits. I ate nearly this whole plate.
Snacks
A little packet of Golden Days Sesame Snaps.

Breakfast
I didn't take a photo and now I don't remember! Maybe a toasted bagel with strawberry jam?
Lunch
Leftover minestrone soup which I forgot to photograph in my rush to get to work.
Dinner
Homemade pizza on a pita bread base. I had pineapple, capsicum, mushrooms, and Cheezly Mozzarella cheese. This 'super-melting' cheese didn't seem to melt! Even when we put it under the grill! It was still nice though. Like the Edam, very mild flavour though, could barely taste it! I still feel like it added something to the pizza though, maybe it was purely psychological...
Snacks
A whole block of Sweet William chocolate.
A cup of warm soy milk with a teaspoon of golden syrup.

Breakfast
A toasted poppy seed bagel with Nuttelex and strawberry jam, and a cup of decaf tea with soy milk.
Lunch
Minestrone soup, very warming on a cold wintry day!
Dinner
A wintry dinner as well! A Linda McCartney Vegetarian Country Pie, peas and carrots, and sauteed leek mashed potato. As the name suggests, to make the mashed potato you simply saute the leeks and then mix them into your mash. These pies were amazing! I can't even begin to describe how great they were. I bought them online from Vegan Online, but I've heard that South Australians can purchase them at some Foodlands.
Snacks
A little packet of Golden Days Sesame Snaps.
Some Leda Chocolate Rum Balls.
A bowl of Kellogg's Sultana Bran with soy milk.

Sauteed Leek Mashed Potato Recipe
A lovely spin on boring old mash.
As many potatoes as you will need to feed the number of people you have, cubed
As many leeks as you will need (I find that 2 leeks work well in mash serving 3 people), sliced
Margarine, I use Nuttelex
1. While your potatoes are boiling, start frying your leeks in a generous amount of margarine. Fry until soft.
2. Drain the potatoes, return to the saucepan, and add a big knob of margarine. Mash and mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Mix the leeks in with the mashed potato.
It looks fancy, tastes good, and it's easy, what more can you ask for?

Breakfast
A toasted poppy seed bagel with Nuttelex and apricot jam.
Lunch
A slice of toast with Cheezly Edam Style cheese. I thought I'd give the number 1 brand of vegan cheese another go, maybe it's better melted? Maybe it tastes better and has less of a grainy, pasty texture? It was awesome! This cheese is definitely meant to be melted! It's flavour was fuller, more nutty, and scrumptious. Still a very mild flavour though so I think it works better on something plain like toast rather than on something with other flavours that would easily overpower it. It melted and bubbled just like dairy cheese and though it was still kind of paste-like it was much more enjoyable because it was 'melted'. If it was still grainy, I couldn't tell because of the toast. Verdict: vegan cheese, made for melting, not for biscuits. Can't wait to try the super-melting mozzarella on a pizza!
Dinner
Honey soy stir fry made using a Coles stir fry mix and my homemade Best Honey Soy Sauce, honey-free of course, and rice. Very delicious and, I like to think, very healthy.
Snacks
A whole packet of Bonvita Rice Milk Chocolate bunnies. They were so silky I just couldn't stop!
One little Sweet William chocolate bar. Well, it always starts with one anyway...

Best Honey Soy Sauce Recipe
Everyone loves honey soy sauce so why should vegans have to miss out because of cruelty to bees? I invented this honey soy sauce recipe to solve this problem, and it is heavenly. Screw using it in a stir fry, just drink it!
2 heaped tbs golden syrup
2 1/2 tbs soy sauce
1/3 cup boiling water
1. Put golden syrup and soy sauce into a heatproof jug.
2. Pour in boiling water and mix until golden syrup is completely dissolved.
Easy-peasy! I haven't got a photo of the actual sauce itself, it's just kind of brown and boring, so here is one of a lovely honey soy stir fry. Make it, your taste buds will thank you.
Happy eating! :)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
This is a recipe I got from The Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.
Dry egg replacer to the equivalent of 3 eggs
6 tbs water
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup castor sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 1/4 cups self raising flour
1 tsp bi-carb soda
1 tsp salt
1-2 cups dairy-free 'milk' chocolate (i.e. not dark chocolate)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional) - I have not made them with nuts
1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees C and line a baking tray with baking paper. I highly recommend you do this as the first time I made them I didn't use baking paper and they stuck like crazy.
2. In a food processor or blender, whip the egg replacer and water together until it is thick and creamy. Then, in a large bowl, cream the butter, castor sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla essence. Add the egg replacer mixture and thoroughly combine.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, bi-carb, and salt. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the wet mixture until it forms a dough.
4. Mix chocolate chips and nuts (if you're using them) into the dough.
5. Spoon out onto lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
As mine didn't turn out because I didn't listen to the recipe and line my baking tray, here is a lovely picture from the book of what they should look like: scrummy.

Breakfast
A toasted poppy seed bagel with Nuttelex and strawberry jam, and a mug of Vitasoy Soy Milky chocolate milk (best chocolate milk EVER!).
Lunch
Macro Wholefoods Organic Quick Oats with coconut and brown sugar. When I mixed the oats and the water together, I also mixed in some dessicated coconut. Then I microwaved it until it was cooked, stirred in a bit of soy milk and some brown sugar and voila! This was soooo yummy!
Dinner
Spinach, tomatoes, and chickpeas with rice.
Snacks
Some Arnott's Jatz with Maggie Beer Spiced Pear Paste.
A nut mix composed of raw almonds, raw cashews, and dried cranberries. I ate about 120g! I couldn't stop!

Breakfast
I was in such a rush to get to work that I didn't take any photos! I had Kelloggs Sultana Bran with soy milk.
Lunch
As I said, I was in a rush to get to work. I had a tin of dolmades that I got from the supermarket and a big container full of grapes.
Dinner
We went out for dinner at Pure Vegetarian, located in the central markets. Despite its name, the place is actually vegan and serves yummy and really cheap Asian food. I also love the atmosphere of the markets on a Friday night. I had the 3 choices meal: rice/noodles (of which there are two choices of each), 3 choices of main, and a free soy drink (warm or cold), for only $8.20! I chose rice noodles with fish, sweet and sour gluten, and a tofu and bean dish. I also had a spring roll. The soy drink was delicious and so creamy! I had mine cold.
The actual reason we went to eat at Pure Vegetarian though, was because of their amazingly awesome and delicious sago pudding. It's only $3.20 and I recommend you eat in rather than take away because then you get this to-die-for sweet syrup and coconut cream poured on the top. Don't be alarmed by the glow-in-the-dark appearance, just eat it and experience heaven. This was Jeff's first time at Pure Vegetarian and he loved the sago pudding too. They also do a black sticky rice pudding which is really nice.

Lunch
Some grapes, 4 salada sandwiches with Nuttelex and marmite, an Aribar, a Leda bar, and a tub of peaches in mango puree.
Dinner
A foot long veggie delight sub on multigrain bread from subway. On it I had lettuce, beetroot, tomato, cucumber, carrot, salt and pepper.
I also had a medium fries from McDonald's.
Snacks
Some chocolate chip cookie dough (which was more like a batter!) from a batch of cookies we were making for a friend of mine.
A glass of soy milk and some of the broken pieces of cookie that we created before we realised that a) we should have listened to the recipe and bought baking paper, and b) the problem could be solved with canola spray. They were delicious though and the recipe can be found here, just make sure you use baking paper!

Breakfast
Macro Wholefoods, read 'Woolworths', organic quick oats (which are not as nice as the Freedom Foods ones but they are cheaper) with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Lunch
Pasta with a supermarket bought sauce that Jeff made for me.
Dinner
Burritos made using a burrito kit. We used baked beans and poured the seasoning sachet into that, then cooked off some of the liquid. In my burrito I had beans, capsicum, tomato, corn, lettuce, salsa, and Cheezly Edam Style cheese. I have to say the vegan cheese was, yet again, a let down. Though you could grate it, its texture was actually more like a paste and it felt grainy in my mouth. Also, it really didn't add anything to the meal flavour-wise. I am overall underwhelmed by what is regarded as the best vegan cheese brand. I have a super melting mozzarella still to try so maybe that will be better. Hopefully.
