Quote  |  Reply

Hey guys...sure this is been done already but just needed some lunch ideas so I thought this might be fun...

 Today I had a Brown Rice Salad (courtesy of Vegetariangeek...thank you it was yummy!), Brown rice, black beans, corn, spring onions, some ff italian dressing and tabasco (love spicy)

 How about you???

pilotkita,

i just took a look at the recipes and that looks yummy!  may have to try that out.

i love the chili at Natures Table, anyone with a recipe that taste similar??

I had a tortilla with spinach, tomato, some feta, a quorn cutlet and a few sprays of that salad spray-- raspberry (: I also had some ranch quakes and an apple, which equates to about 300 calories.

Hey thanks for all the tips! I'll definately have to try to find time to make some things the night before so i get a lil more nutritional things in my diet at lunchtime!
I had orzo broccoli pilaf and a salad with raspberry vinaigrette.  :)

I have been making tofu wraps

I use firm organic tofu,chopped celery, green onions,black olive, sweet pickles, mustard, light mayo, 1/8 tsp herbs de Provence, fresh ground pepper.

Rolled in a whole grain, low carb wrap. About 1/2 cup per serving.

Mix and store in refrigerator.

 

There are soem excellent recipes on here that im definately going to try!

I had a vegetable Chilli yesterday with a pitta bread

Half a baba ganouj whole-wheat wrap and a mixed greens salad and 1/2 cup three-bean salad on top for protein instead of salad dressing.

Todays going to be a clean out the fridge day,

so i'm having left over brown rice salad (added some feta to it), and lentil soup

 having hummus and pita later...cant wait!

I love clean out fridge day! it's usually Fridays for meSmile... I end up eating the wierdest combinations...

SUBWAY - TURKEY SANDWICH ON WHOLE WHEAT Laughing WITH LOTS O PICKLES AND MUSTARD ITS MY FAV
i had hummus and sliced cucumbers on whole wheat bread. not very exciting, but i need to go to the farmer's market tomorrow lol

So i didnt make any lunch today...woke up late =(

so its either going to be the lean cuisine-sante fe rice and beans,  OR subway - veggie delite

 

i had leftover whole wheat rotini pasta with tomato sauce that i mixed in morningstar grillers crumbles..... nothing very exciting :P  for breakfast i had a morningstar sausage patty with cheese on a mini whole wheat bagel.... that tends to be my typical breakfast.... lunch though... sometimes i bring an amy's meal... or i'll make brown rice with veggies and maybe morningstar chicken strips... obviously i'm doing a good job keeping morningstar in business!  i like some of these other ideas... they sound healthy and "different"... i think i'll try some!!! thanks :)

I had a spinach, mushroom and goat's cheese tortilla that I made up in order to use up some oddments in the fridge (see recipe). It's about 400 calories and nutrional grade B. It was also nice and warm given the gales blowing outside!

Yesterday I drained and marinated some squares of tofu and button mushrooms in some low sodium soy sauce, fresh grated ginger, minced garlic, orange juice and a few red pepper flakes for about an hour...browned 2 minutes on each side and then used some marinade to saute some fresh baby spinach and served over some brown rice...It was delicious!!! and so easy to make and it made the whole house smell yummy! :)

Saturday I made some vegan pancakes with a little Bisquick, mashed banana, soymilk, walnuts and chocolate chips...Had the leftovers this morning in the microwave for 30 seconds...Yum!

today has been pretty bad (better than a bad weekend though)

we went to Earls sandwich in Downtown Disney and I had the Caprese Sandwich, which i'm sure was a million and one calories.  oh well

I had Amy's frozen lunch--Brown rice and veggies, it was delish!
Hey Everyone! I have been trying vegetarianism for about a week and today I had my first falafel sandwich and it was so delicious. I had it in a whole wheat pita with hummus, pico, spicy sauce, falafel, and whatever the yummy white sauce on top is. I am definitely going to have another one before the week is out.

Quorn Hot Pot.

I'm not sure if you have this product in the US.
