My Vegetarian Diet Day ? 5 21/07/12

      Here we are back  again. Once more writing this a day late so... started off with still nothing in the cupboard but managed to do a good shop later. Went a little over the top in the fruit and veg department but hey ho will have to eat it all now. Can i really lose weight eating as much fruit and veg as that???? Bought a strange fruit tea bread at a community celebration over the recreation ground which is surprisingly tasty, didn't get the recipe apart from it has a half pint of tea in it. Odd!


  Breakfast

      1 Banana
      1 Vegetable samosa

  Lunch

      Apricots and nectarine
      1 Wholemeal bread sandwich
 

   Brie, beetroot, tomato, onion, sweet pepper

  Afternoon tea

       2 slices of home made fruit tea bread mmmm

       1 peach yoghurt, live

  Dinner

      2 slices of pineapple

      2 slices of honeydew melon

    

      Traybake with sunflower oil

before

  

Potato, carrot, mushrooms, red onion, bell pepper, garlic 

after

mmmmmm!

 

  Supper

 

      1 slice of home made fruit tea bread

      Apricot

 

      Well there you have it. The beetroot i got vacuum packed and pickled myself, adding chilli flakes, black peppercorns and black cardamon seeds, I forgot that i had already spiced my vinegar and the beetroot is quite fierce but tasty. All in all a good days eating.

 

               Careful with your pickling and enjoy your food.

   Looks like i am eating a lot of Brie, the only easy munchy in the fridge, will have to think about that.
   Yes, there are a lot of noodles in my diet, I hope that is a good thing. I am trying to cut out bread products as my main carb. Noodles and potatos are replacing, though i have now finished that bag of spuds. Don't normally buy reds but have enjoyed them and they haven't sprouted as quickly as whites normally do.
   Would type more but i am involved in a long winded and irritating internet 'chat' with my mobile phone providers. Wishing I hadn't had so much coffee today. Grrr.

   Have fun people and whatever you are eating today, remember to appreciate it.
