Solo Meals

I'm trying to eat vegan or at least meatless three days a week now, which means I can pretty much eat whatever I like versus having to make meals to suit my guy's tastes (he doesn't suffer; I cook a separate meal for him.) I like these days so much I may increase them to four or five in the future. Anyway, here is everything I ate on a typical meals-for-me-only day:

Breakfast: 16 ozs. of sugarfree cranberry juice, a banana and a toasted everything bagel thin (about 1/3 the size of a regular bagel) with vegan cream cheese substitute. I usually just have juice and fruit, but I needed to use up these bagels before they go stale.

Lunch: Orange sugarfree sparkling water, four vegetable egg rolls and a cup of organic microwave white rice.

Dinner: Cherry sugarfree sparkling water, a bowl of my homemade veggie bean soup, a small romaine salad, and another toasted everything bagel thin with plant-based butter spread (normally I would bake some rolls to go with the soup.)

It's not very exciting, I admit, but it's fairly healthy and light. I'm going to make and freeze some more veggie bean soup once I clear some space in the freezer, as it's nice to have for my solo meal days.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
