I like reading your food journal because you eat mostly healthy, but include some treats too.

I kindof fell off the wagon lately & ate like crap for a few weeks, lots of processed carbs, but I'm making a comeback. I got a ton of fruits & veggies yesterday.

Do you buy your peirogies or make them? I've been having a hard time finding vegan ones.

[pamela]

Thanks Lisa! I don't think I could be very happy if my diet was only healthy stuff all the time, and I think I've found a pretty good compromise. I mean, if I manage to choke down 10-15 servings of f&v a day, why the heck shouldn't I be allowed to eat dessert?

I find when I fall off the healthy wagon I feel pretty crappy too. Good for you getting back on.

I buy my pierogies. There are a few vegan kinds where I am, and these ones are not cheap but they're very delicious. They're also an excellent vehicle to force myself to eat more kale!

[tommybricks]

Thanks for teh recipe. I'll let you know how it goes.

[bpmojo]

I had fake shrimp at a veggie chinese place in austin last year........no bueno, no bueno at all, but mabye you got a better kind?

Idk they were just rubbery and a slight very fake shrimp taste...I'm not really into fake meats at all and never really loved shrimp thou.

[hsorlando]

All your food sounds so yummy. Does it take a long time to prepare your meals? Personally I hate the kitchen, and am not very adventurous.

I've never actually eaten a real shrimp in my life, so I can't really compare. My dad says he likes the fake shrimp even better than the real shrimp. I like them on their own merits. I've tried another kind once that wasn't as good as these ones. I'm not really big on fake meats either but I like having a few of these on occasion.

Thank you. I spend more time in the kitchen than I'd care to, but I see it as an investment in my health and well-being. Last night's dinner took maybe 45 minutes to prepare. Breakfast and lunch don't take much time at all.

I cheat a bit and use prepared things sometimes. For example, I buy these little cans of curry paste for $1: http://www.maesribrand.com/Can.htm and they are very authentic. Mix it with some coconut milk and voila! I do spend a lot of time making smoothies, but they're good value for the time spent, nutrition-wise.

The real killer is dishes... we don't have a dish washer (I never have) so I feel like I spend half my spare time doing dishes.

[lisaanddini]

The chef is never supposed to do the dishes!!! Thats a rule at my house, we take turns cooking & whoever doesn't cook has to clean up after.

Since I quit the seafood, the smell kindof grosses me out. I'm fine with faux chicken, turkey, or beef but I think it will be a while before I try fake seafood.

What kind of truffles are you enjoying so much? I need to get some!
