I will be starting up again....just been busy with a very hectic schedule which leaves me no time exercise let alone eat properly. I enjoy your posts Nikina - you give me inspiration to carry on....please could you share some vegan recipes....  

So nice to see you back, Helldenn, and thank you for your kind words! Usually it's just replacing dairy and eggs in recipes (we have already excluded meat and use meatless alternatives like soy chunks and Linda McCartney sausages, etc.). Some things are just so simple like this soup my hubby makes, which is just a 500g bag of brown lentils, about 3 decent sized carrots and a head of cabbage cooked up with vegetable stock. He usually sautées the onions with garlic before adding all the other ingredient and you can add some other spices too. He usually blitzes it up, but we don't have a food processor yet, but I really like the texture of the veg like this. There are so many recipes online too so you just need to type the word vegan in front of anything you can think of making and usually there would be a few options. All the best on your continued journey!!! xxx 

when I first saw this early in my day, I saw beets on oatmeal for breakfast and decided to withhold comments. now that it's later in the day, I'm okay with this meal. LOL 

Lol Kat!!! I have heard of savoury oats, but that would be quite a stretch for me - as much as I love oats and beets - never the two shall meet. It is funny when you do a double take on some people's meal pics though 'cos things can look so strange sometimes - was thinking I should have written more of a description.  

oh, I'm dumber than a brick before my first coffee. more words would not have helped. lol
