My Vegan Mondays

“Eating what stands on one leg [mushrooms and plant foods] is better than eating what stands on two legs [fowl], which is better than eating what stands on four legs [cows, pigs and other mammals].”
A Chinese proverb, shared as Rule 24 in Food Rules.

Morning
Coffee and soy milk
Two bananas and a delicious nectrarine

Afternoon
Quinoa salad with tomatoes, cukes and corn
Couple pieces of bread (post-Italy, I am trying to lay off the carbs, but this was the irresistible crunchy-doughy French baguette variety—miam)
White nectarine

Evening
Soba noodles with edamame and sesame seeds
Wheat toast with raspberry jam
Tea

  2. Apologies for not being a better proof reader and having to delete myself above:


    Our day was vegan without trying...
    Morning
    Coffee

    Afternoon
    Coffee
    Tea
    Scone

    Evening
    Tomato and Avocado sandwich
    (the bread is made by two men from France who opened a real honest to goodness French bakery here.. there is a God)

  3. Ohmigoodness, Candice - that's a lean diet! Though, must point out, probably not totally vegan as the scone probably had dairy, but that's an impressive day. A tomato avocado sandwich sounds heavenly...

  4. I admit to not having a healthy diet.
    I eat when hungry but sometimes coffee and a pastry will suffice.
    We don't eat red meat anyway so that is easy but the vegan part, knowing what else there is to cut out could be a challenge.. for a lazy person such as myself :)
    Next week I will try to remember at the beginning of the day and avoid the dairy :)
    Avocados are Everywhere here, every where.
