Sausage rolls: oat flour, mashed potato, chia/sunflower flour, pasta sauce, Italian herbs, salt. Cooked gently in a very small amount of peanut oil.

I made what I'm calling "Quorned beef stew". It's basically a corned beef stew, but in place of corned beef I've shredded and fried some Quorn vegan burgers with onions and a little bit of green chili. Instead of the usual beef stock (bleugrgh) I used Vegan bouillon and a dollop of yeast extract! then in the pot added chopped potatoes, carrots, and onions, and left it to simmer for aaaages.

I'm sick at the moment with a cold, so was am in need of some comfort food.

I also made some aquafaba meringue kisses last night. I added cocoa and orange essence to make them chocolate orange. The cocoa may have weighed them down a bit because they are more like coins than kisses, they are super yummy though. The whole office is crunching through them. :)
 
Sandwiches:

Sourdough bread filled with lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrot, my homemade vegan sausages, mushroom, and a sweet mustard sauce that was also homemade.
 
Tofu, potatoes, peas and onions in my favorite Maya Kaimal Madras Curry Sauce. I get at least 4-5 large servings out of it (and if cooking for others, I could probably dress it up to 6-8 servings with bread or side dishes). This is opposed to the 3 servings the jar says you'll get. I'm like HA HAHA HA no, not for 6 dollars a jar. I add a little water because of the frozen peas, and oil due to the onions, which I guess thins it out. I love making a pot of this stuff, though I think added up it's a little more pricey per portion than making my tofu curries with red paste, canned coconut milk, stewed tomatoes, and tumeric.

Mmm curries.
 
A salad with lots of romaine lettuce and this locally made tofu "egg salad" (it's vegan) which I think is spectacular. And a smoothie after with frozen bananas (always peel your bananas before freezing, folks, otherwise prepare to freeze your fingers and use a very sharp knife), chocolate coconut milk, and a spoonful of almond butter.
 
Brunch was a combination of noodles, homemade hash browns and fries, leek, celery, tomato, soaked pumpkin seeds, broccoli and seasonings.

Brunch today:

Scrambled chickpea with sauteed mushroom and green onion (the growth of the onion plant - from my garden), seasoned with salt, turmeric, black pepper. I did use a little oil to saute the mushrooms.

and

Hash brown sandwiches - Whole wheat bread, hash browns, Cos lettuce, tomato, pickle slices, salt.


For breakfast I was not hungry, so I just had coffee with raw sugar and Tahini milk.
 
Popcorn tofu wraps with co-op vegan ranch.

As someone who has made my requisite buy in to the co-op and shops the minimum to get a small monthly and yearly discount, I'm going to request they bottle and sell the ranch. I think it's too free of preservatives to sell in big bottles, but I'll recommend small amounts be sold in the deli like house made hummus.

I had lunch with some former work colleagues at Gobi Mongolian Grill. I had all kinds of veggies and some rice noodles stir-fried with sesame ginger sauce. Delicious.
