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

...for breakfast...I had a pretty large bowl of homemade soy yogurt...with a generous handful of bran flakes...and some blackberries from the freezer...the packet was labeled "Jam"...but they never made it into jam...haha...
...then lunch was just a bowl of leftovers...pintos...and some Griddler-ed Brussels sprouts and sweet potato...
...then I still have a few 'symptoms' from my recent cold...and the Man is still in his first week...but I think I've not been eating the best...so I thought a big plate of veggies was in order...so I 'fried' some cabbage...it's not really fried at all as I don't use any oil...and very little water...at this point I take out the Man's serving as he says he doesn't like it 'burnt'...
...haha...no one would want truly burned cabbage...but I do cook mine just a little bit longer...and you have to be really careful NOT to burn it at this point...so...just when it starts to stick a little bit and the bottom of the pot shows a little bit of carmelization...I immediately take it off heat and put the lid on it...I love it this way...I think it's more tender and a little bit sweeter...(and I think I ought to say little bit again...wink!)...
...so then...of course...I fired up the Griddler...and used Grandma's Veg-O-Matic to slice some uniform pieces of carrot...
...and potato....
...added a thick slab of tofu...and that made a delicious supper...I put A-1 on the tofu...
...and then we were sitting around in our recliners...ha...and the Man said some chocolate chip cookies would be good...
...so I got out this "Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies" recipe from my binder...it only makes about 6 cookies...which is perfect for us...now that Our Airman is not here to eat them up...
...but this was his favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe...and I'm going to send it over to him in the next package going to Japan...he used to have it memorized...and when he was in elementary school in North Dakota...he'd come home from school and make a batch...and then eat half of the dough...haha...vegan cookie dough is ok to eat raw...and then we'd bake whatever was left...
...so...the Man prefers just a few chocolate chips and a lot of cookie...and I'm pretty much the opposite...so I guess you can tell whose cookies are whose...haha...
...baked those up on my favorite Pampered Chef cookie baker...
...and we had those for a delicious snack...I mixed up some chocolate almond milk to go with mine...I made a quart but didn't drink it all...so I'll have leftovers today...

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

~Have a lovely day!
