be a better vegan

I ate three square meals, all of which wear delicious, nutritious, and thoroughly vegan. For lunch I had some of the soup I made with the armful of dumpstered greens (five ready-prepared packs of cabbage, leek and broccoli plus several packs of asparagus) I brought home from work, which ticks the environmentally-friendly box as well as the animal-friendly one. Dinner was more greens (I have a shitload to use up now :P) with mashed potatoes and fried tofu. Yum! I also had three servings of homemade chocolate cake and soya cream. Who cares if it’s nutritionally invalid, it was gorgeous.

To quote a wise woman, “Nom nom fucking nom.”

;)

Should prove rather useful, hopefully. Today was pretty good compared to usual, I prepared two proper meals for myself:

Lunch: Tortillas with onion, green pepper, carrot, beansprouts and mixed pulses

Dinner: Homemade soup (lentil and potato with leftover onion, carrot and pulses thrown in) with wholemeal bread

I also tried oat milk for the first time, which is simply wonderful in tea. I’ve been snacking on salted peanuts lately (I want to include more nuts in my diet so it’s a start, right?) though I noticed my occasional eczema flared up a bit so I’ll need to keep an eye on that to see if there’s a correlation between the two. TMI?

I’ve also been invited to a cupcake-making session by the lady who hosted the wonderful potluck I attended on Saturday. Which isn’t really being a healthy vegan, granted, but I reckon it definitely means being a better one. :P

I’ll crack out my copy of Plant Based Nutrition and Health to get some specifics, but basically I want to stop eating so much shit. I’d like to start cooking more and make packed lunches to take to the office (or, occasionally, get some vegan soup from the nearby deli) instead of having horrible (yet heavenly) chips at least once a week. Yeah.
