I guess by now you guys on here know some of my preferences.

Scrambled tofu with bacon, rye bread with Mett and red onions, Camembert on apricot jam. Plus one of my favorite coffee mugs pictured.

ETA: the "bacon" got good and crispy this time.

What is your scrambled tofu recipe/strategy? I have a lazy vegan child who really needs to start cooking more.

I made a fusion out of several recipes. I don't weigh or really measure anything to the t. Here is my personal keeper:

- tofu, one 200 g block (not too firm but not silken tofu, you might need to experiment with available brands)

- some red onion rings

Fry that in a bit of oil. Then add

- turmeric, about 1 tsp and a little bit of hot Water and stir until the tofu is yellow.

- white almond butter, about 1 tsp (I use the one with European almonds, it has a slightly less sweet taste)

- soy skyr, about 2 heaping tsp

Stir around again, then add

- nooch, lightly cover the whole mass in the pan and add a bit of hot water to make it creamy and stir some more

- add the magic dust last: kala namak to taste

ETA: I sometimes add mushrooms to this. With the nooch you might need to find your favorite as well. Nooch varies in taste - big time.

Interestingly enough my husband asked me for my recipe as well today 😂 (I'm going to teach him the recipe when he comes over next weekend).

first meal of day: biscuit, eggs, some of my homemade "moon cheese" (there was a thread about it yesterday and of course i had to make some!)

now, i don't know why i continue to make 2 eggs whenever i feel for egg's because 90% of the time i just end up eating one of them, but there you go.

426 calories, and all the cheese and 1/2 of the rest.

Went to Vegas for a few days, feeling lazy to get back into cooking and meal prep so eating "quick" things for the past 2 days. I hope I can snap out of it and keep learning to cook lol.

For Breakfast, I just had 36g of Catalina Crunch Cereal in chocolate banana flavor (110 cal, 6g fat, 14g carbs, 11g protein) with 1 cup of cashew milk (25 cal). It is one of my favorite quick ways to get some Protein in. I ate it all. Wish I had bananas to put in it. 20221101_133141.jpg

I encouraged my vegan child to cook today instead if only eating vegan convenience foods. She made the bruised kale salad (I made the Beans and sweet potato) She still ate the vegan chicken but I’ll count this as a win and hope for the best when college begins.

How this salad came out to 500 calories is insane! I’m blaming the quorn meatless nuggets (vegetarian not vegan as they have egg whites in them). Even so, I’m at 1300 calories for the day even with “ice cream” for dessert.

Thursday’s chicken enchiladas (I ate half of one) and then I made bread that I forgot to tent so the tops got extra toasty. Turned a couple slices into toast with cashew butter. (Ate one slice). Friday the kids had Pasta salad and I packed pintos and rice for my work lunch.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
