I am eat Vegetarian Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes...
I can briefly explain the construction
1 Wash tomatoes thoroughly and cut
taze-domatesli-vejetaryen-makarna-yapimi
into 4 pieces.
2 Throw the tomatoes into the blender.
3 Chop onions and garlic as thinly as you like.
4 Add basil, mushroom, carrot, pea, corn, green pepper according to your wishes.
5 Pour oil into the pan and cook as much as you can and serve it over the pasta.

Bon Appetit ;)

Here is my leftover chocolate mousse. It got a bit bashed on the journey home, but you get the idea. It is loosely based on a low-carbified version of the following recipe. The orange version might be good for Christmas. It is very rich so little portions are best.

Looks yummy, there is a great recipe also low carb choc mousse on www.dietdoctor.com. Only three ingredients, the recipe is so versatile if you freeze it for one hour, you then have a choc icream instead two things in one recipe off you go happy cooking or non cooking in the kitchen I should say.....mix and put in fridge or freezer what could be easier.

People whose attitude says "Me, my opinion, my desire is greater and more important than anyone else"

And to whom the principle of ahimsa is a closed book that they refuse to open because it would make life more difficult for them.
I see it's been a while since anyone posted here, but I've found some useful ideas in other peoples' posts. I thought if we (or just I) started posting here, others might get a few meal ideas too?

B. Half can of cherry tomatoes on one slice of wholemeal toast with engevita flakes sprinkled on top plus a re-heated leftover vegan sausage. Followed by a banana. Two mugs of black coffee, no sweetener.
L. Spicy hummus, large handful of baby salad leaves with a garlic olive oil dressing, 5 cherry tomatoes, fresh carrot chopped into sticks to be dipped into the hummus. Followed by strawberries and large dollop of Alpro vegan coconut yogurt (my fave at the moment).
Dinner will be: Lentil cottage pie with mashed sweet potato/ordinary spuds topping (I don't take much topping), with peas and broccoli. Dessert if wanted will be blueberries and the coconut yogurt. My husband will have ice cream 'cos he loves the stuff.

Drinks are either water or rooibos tea - usually about 4 glasses of water and 6 mugs of the tea. I love the stuff - no caffeine, aids digestion and tastes nice. I don't put milk or sweetener in the tea.

Just to clarify @WuTwo, are you vegetarian or vegan?

In the context of this thread, it makes no difference whether someone is vegan or not. It is open to all vegetarians (which includes all vegans), and posters are requested not to derail the thread with discussions of non vegetarian eating.

This is the original post on the thread, which clarifies things nicely:

Tell us what you have eaten today ..

This is a forum for vegetarians .. So please no meat references ..
A Vegetarian is someone who lives on a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits with, or without, the use of dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish* or by-products of slaughter.

I'm vegan, which is why I posted here about food.
