...4.22...what I ate in a day...as a vegan...

...I took my vitamins with some hibiscus tea that I'm trying to use up...just still trying to use up some of my tea stash...it's gotten out of hand...apparently I'm willing to buy more tea than I'm able to drink...haha...

...then for breakfast...I made half of an everything bagel and spread on some Violife vegan cream cheese...

...for lunch I used some of the weekend's garbanzo beans...some nori and pickles to make a sort of deconstructed vegan tuna salad...and I ate the last of the vegan bread Amy and I got at the chocolate shop...incidentally...they used to make a vegan dark chocolate...but when I asked about it they said that all of their chocolates now have a 'trace' of milk in them...not sure what that means...if they used to make sure that there was no trace in the dark chocolate...or if they are actually adding a trace of milk now...anywhoo...he said that the only vegan item they had right now was the french bread...so I got two loaves of that...he also said that I could call ahead and they'd make some vegan chocolate if they knew I was coming...so that was super nice...

...I found this packet of spinach/artichoke dip lurking in the back of the cabinet...not even sure when I made the first packet...before Christmas maybe...and it's out of date...but I mixed it up with some vegan mayo and tofu anyway...

...and used it as a dip for some crudites for a snack...and it still tasted really good...

...don't know if I've mentioned it before but Thursday is our garbage pickup day...haha...so we often go through the refrigerator and try to use things up before we take the trash out for the last time for the week...so that's what this odd hodgepodge of foods is...leftover noodles...leftover rice and beans...and leftover collards also from the weekend...and I'm happy to free up all that space in my fridge...haha...

...and finally before bed...I 'used up' the last of the box of bran flakes...the Man doesn't like the 'crumbs' that are left in the bottom of a bag of cereal...but I couldn't care less...I just dumped those in a bowl and topped it with some homemade vegan blueberry yogurt...and that made a nice bedtime snack...

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

~Have a lovely day!
