Lately I brought Soya Milk into the house. I've not had a glass of milk in decades and try to avoid it as much as possible. When I do have something with milk I sound like I have a mild head cold for a few hours. So far I've tried Soya Milk in:
Coffee
Tea
Oatmeal
Cup Cakes
Cereal
Mashed Potatoes
I've loved it in everything! I was a bit wary baking with it, but they have a version of single cream that is Soya based and it work as a substitute to butter milk.
Since I've been on my own brand of diet from December 30th 2011 I've taken to veggies as my lunch choice on the weekend and using them as a large portion of my dinners. This means I'm eating healthier and I'm eating foods that I really do love. Peas, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato, corn, brussels sprouts and green beans. Yes, I said brussels sprouts. I love them!
With this added veg and Soya infusion into my diet I could really see myself as a veggie. Though I will admit a nice cheese burger may be my downfall ;) Bacon actually was my downfall on the six days I was a veggie and it took me 2 hours to realise what I'd done. So maybe I'm just a bad vegetarian?
Though I do like the idea of being a vegan, there is a lot of thinking about what you're eating that would come into play and let’s face it. I'm lazy.
I have found some really great recipes that are easy and vegan. My vegan chilli for instance.
Vegan Chilli:-
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin green ready to eat lentils
1 tin baked beans
1 tin chopped mushrooms
1 tsp chilli powder (you can adjust this to taste)
Pour everything into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Then simmer for about 10 minutes.
Makes about 4 to 5 servings.
You can have it with rice as well but I find the lentils make the chilli heavy and nothing more is needed.
