...4.29...What I Ate in a Day...as a Vegan...

...I had made a big cake of vegan cornbread the night before...and I had about half of it leftover...
...so I had a delicious bowl of 'Cornbread and Milk' for breakfast...it's just cornbread...warmed and buttered with Earth Balance...then crumbled into a bowl of cold almond milk...then the whole thing gets a good dowsing of salt...I love Cornbread and Milk...and I don't usually have it for breakfast...but it makes a good one...the slight sweetness of the milk...juxtaposed against the warm(-ish) buttery saltiness of the cornbread...it's good anytime...

...we always called it 'Cornbread and Milk' when I was growing up southern-country...but the Man's family always said "Milk and Bread"...I guess they didn't need to differentiate the cornbread part of it...because that's the only kind of bread you put in milk...right...haha...
...I had a gala apple and some pecans for a snack later...
...then for lunch...we're still trying to use up all of those staples we kindof overbought at the beginning of the pandemic...and this box of sloppy joe mix was still in the cupboard...
...so we mixed that up...
...and had it on toast for lunch...it was really quick...and good...
...and then dinner was ...some grilled tofu...nice and smoky...topped with A-1 sauce...and fried cabbage and stewed potatoes on the side...delicious...but nothing special...

...what did you eat yesterday?...

~Have a lovely day!

    1. Hi Beth,
      ...I think it's a 'southern' thing...or maybe an Appalachian thing...it's good though...

  2. We were sailing for two days straight, so my appetite was not much. An apple, some Oreo mint cookies and some Cheetos crackers. And a bunch of unsweetened tea. We're back in the USA as of about 3:30pm today, all is smooth and we'll each well tonight! Love, K

    1. Hi Éphée,
      ...these pre-packaged sloppy joes were good...and I don't think there's anything at all wrong with ramen and taboule...

  4. I think of 'bread and milk' being an old fashioned supper for children, of wheat bread cut into cubes, with warm milk poured over and sugar sprinkled on. We never had it as children, but I read about it in story books, so found out how to make it from old recipe books. It's quite bland but nice if you're feeling ill (and someone else makes it for you! Too much effort to make without a microwave if I'm the one feeling ill!).

    1. Hi Lyanne,
      ...I've also read about that type of milk and bread...but we never had that here...and cornbread and milk is not (as far as I know) sweetened...I put salt on mine...
