Vegetarian Challenge, Days 4, 5 and 6
Apologies for not posting each day: I came down with a cold, seems like a stupid time of year for it.
Day 4
Breakfast: cold Milo
Lunch: leftover cannelini bean salad (me) and egg and salad sandwiches (Dave)
Dinner: vegetable soup
After work, we went to the bi-monthly Green Drinks run by Wilma from O2, and had such a good time we didn’t leave until about 8pm. By the time we got home we were starving but didn’t want to cook. Normally that’s the sort of time that we’d get fast-food at a drive-through, but we did the right thing and had soup at home instead.
Day 5
Breakfast: muesli
Lunch: steamed vegetables with rice
Dinner: pumpkin, feta and rocket pasta
Dave usually makes this pasta with lamb as well, but we thought we’d try a meal we’ve had before and just subtract the meat.
Day 6
Breakfast: cold Milo
Lunch: salad with cheese
Dinner: potatoes, green beans and egg
Another Peter Berley recipe - I’m less impressed with this one. It tastes great, especially with the balsamic, mustard and thyme dressing. But it was fiddly and time consuming to make, so I don’t know if it’ll be added to the regular recipe list.
Tomorrow is the last day of our little challenge. We’re going out for dinner at a place that’s supposed to have a good vegetarian menu; then I’ll post what we’ve learned this week.
