I ate the "nothing but" snack from the vegan box. In a word? Weird. Can't decide if I liked it or not. I mean, here's nothing to not like. But nothing to like either! Anyone else had a dip in yet? I did a wash load with the soapnut tablets and they performed really well.

That food looks amazing Opal Lily wow oh wow.
I am not a veggie or a vegan but I am a non meat eater and I havent eaten meat or poultry in over 20 years as my body cant process it properly so I am severely ill if I eat something containing meat meat stocks meat protein etc.
I do eat a little fish but no shellfish as again I am allergic.
And I am also lactose intolerant so I dont eat a lot of dairy and I have to take dr prescribed calcium and vit d tablets.
I did have to go vegan for 3 months to completely rid my body of dairy but I admit I had to supplement my diet with eggs and a bit of fish.
I use alpro soya cream in my 1 cup of coffee a day and lactofree semi skimmed milk in tea when I fancy a cup.
I can have some cheese but I have to be careful so I mainly do green days with some EE thrown in.

A good place to hang out then. Opal_lily has cooked some amazing dishes! I'm very impressed by the dedication. All presented so beautifully. It's like looking at restaurant food!!!

This is a lovely vegan dip using tofu in place of yoghurt or cottage cheese.
It makes loads and loads just whizz it all together adding extra seasoning
If the beans aren't vegan I am sorry I cant check 100% as I dont have a tin to hand.
You can use silken tofu as well.
It is free on SW

That looks really good!! Does it keep well in the fridge?

It lasted either 3 or 4 days I can't remember. It might last a week but I dont like to keep fresh food that long just in case although I would happily eat open cottage cheese on the 5th day.

Great idea - the beans are definitely vegan and free, I buy them sometimes (I also buy the Yutaka tofu - so much cheaper than other brands in the supermarket)

I'm going to try it. I think it might be good for a taster night too, with carrot sticks

I have stumbled across a great page about a clean eating vegan Girl, she blogs her food etc, it's called funeral for my fat. I am starting to sway more towards clean eating whilst staying within SW boundaries although I may have to tweak one or 2 things to make my diet clean but will see how I get on

I love buckwheat! I often add a stock cube to itbl for flavour. Nice thrown in a salad or as a side with roasted veggies xxx

I sometimes use pearl barley in risottos instead of rice and I've used bucket wheat and millet in the past it's nice to mix things up. I also make pasta sauces using butternut squash or broccoli cooked down with onions, garlic and herbs till they drop and go sauce like and then top with cheese x

Great idea for a thread Lickthelid! I turned veggie 24 years ago but over the last year or so have started eating a bit of tuna. Which of course means I'm not a 'proper' veggie any more. Naughty maybe but it works for me so cant knock it.
It's great to have somewhere we can share tips, food etc. I drink loads of cows milk but I didn't realise almond milk was so low in syns - I've ordered some with my tesco grocery order today. Hope it tastes ok!
