I'm back!

So, I'm back, with some of today's (and yesterday's) eats.
Starting with last nights dinner, polenta salad sandwichy-thing. I had one more slice of bread than pictured.
Couldn't give enough love to my favourite meal ever, the one, the only PORRIDGE, which I have had in the exact same way for the last two days in a row.
 
1/2 cup of oats + water
with cinnamon and brown sugar
(I mixed it after this)
And here is today's lunch, which is actually a variation of yesterday's lunch, which was a calzone with canellini bean filling. These were hummus filled mini calzones!

 They were so tiny. The little thing on top that looks like a love heart is actually the letter V, for vegan. My mum put that on so she would know which ones were hers, and which ones were mine (hers had meat in them).
I haven't had dinner yet, but I can tell you I am having a stirfry of vegetables, perhaps with tofu if I can ever figure out how to cook it.
My snacks today were: 1 banana, 1 apple.
:) Love.

Apologies.

This past week, I've barely MOFO'ed.
I'm sorry about this, but it's mainly because I've been embarrassed by how badly I've eaten.
So, starting tomorrow, I will post EVERY MEAL (almost).
This will hopefully get me back on track with healthy eating, because in the last week it kind of went out the window.
I feel sick, and gross.
And horrible, and sad.
):
Vegan hugs.

Suprises.

Sometimes a small suprise really makes your day.
Today, for example, I had quite a normal day (apart from having a bad stomach bug for two hours).
And then I find out that my omni grandparents/mother want to go out to the local pub/restaurant for dinner. I was more than a little apprehensive about this, because I highly doubted that there would be anything for me to eat, other than maybe a tiny salad. But we went, and when the waitress came I told her that I was vegan. She said she could speak to the chef and see what options there was, and I repeated that I didn't eat meat or dairy, or any other animal products. I felt bad about that, but I've heard stories. She said she understood, then about 5 minutes later came back and said that they could make a spaghetti with steamed vegetables, and that the spaghetti was not made with egg. I ordered it, thinking it might be plain, but at least it was a safe bet.

About half an hour later, when our meals came, I saw this wonderful pile of spaghetti, with all these beautiful cucumbers, beans, asparagus and artichokes! It was so delicious, I kid you not. I was pleasantly suprised, and left with a happy tummy :)
So that, plus some chocolate soy ice cream, is what made my day. Have you ever had a pleasant suprise like this when dealing with an omni restaurant?
Oh, and also! I'm making vegan cupcakes for my grandpa to take sailing this weekend. Any suggestions? I'm making them, not telling him they're vegan until he comes back and tells me how delicious they were!

Okay, so I have a problem..

I'm a snack freak.
I buy snacks, and then try them, and love them.
Too much.
So I finish them off, justifying it to myself because otherwise I'll be tempted by them forever.
Does anyone else do that?
Sorry about my bad MOFOing, I have had no time/camera, because my grandparents are getting their house painted. Their house = my current abode.
I ate so well today, until those tiny animal chocolate biscuits.
-Facepalm-

Las Vegan.

I don't have any pictures today, because Fridays are my busy "I have time for nothing" days.
Breakfast was porridge, lunch was green salad with chickpeas, but dinner.

Dinner is another story. My mum and I decided to go try out Las Vegan Bakery, which is a vegan restaurant here in Melbourne. I wasn't sure what to expect, but OHMYGOSHILOVEDIT.
I would eat there so often if I lived in Collingwood. I have no photos of the meals, but I ordered the Chilli non-Carne calzone, and mum ordered the Roast potato calzone. We both shared the hand cut organic fries and a salad bowl.
Best meal I have had in a while.
I highly reccommend this place. And welcome to my new followers/readers!
:)

Technically day three.

Today is my second post for mofo, but it's technically the third day of it....
Oh well :)
I actually took a photo of my breakfast.
Porridge, my absolute favourite food.
Lunch was fruit salad.
I found this when I went to a wholefoods shop in the city, and had to try it.
I'm not sure how healthy these are though :/
Dinner was a green salad with chickpeas.
 Send me healthy recipes to try, my pretties!
I swear I've gained about 10kg since I've moved in with my grandparents. It's probably because I haven't gotten into a routine. But I feel like I have now, exercise wise. I do the exercise bike twice a day, for 25 minutes, and sometimes do a little walk up the street. I try to do 100 sit ups.
On a non-food related note, I had two SACs (tests) today. Woahhhhhh.
I don't think I did very well in them, but oh well. They were my second last International Studies and Literature SACs ever!!
:)
I will now sit and await comments.

Hey, mofo.

So, this morning I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast which consisted of porridge (oatmeal) and a banana.
But I actually took a photo of my lunch.
It tasted better than it looked, and you couldn't see the yummy torn up mountain bread I had with it.
It is also the easiest meal to prepare.

Chickpea Curry (amy-style).
 
 I also took a photo of my dinner, which was 3 mini homemade veggie burgers, two pieces of spelt bread, and some polenta fries.

I'm living with my grandparents at the moment, and finding it really hard to find easy healthy recipes, as I'm trying to keep healthy. Any suggestions? 
:)
