I don’t know about you, but I always find the first few days of a shiny new project to be the easiest. Those are the days when I have the most energy and enthusiasm for whatever it is I’m excited about, even when I don’t know much about it. Actually, that’s the fun part: the finding out and researching.
So these first few days of Lent have been quite easy. I haven’t craved anything; my food is still tasty and filling; there’s a plethora of yummy-sounding recipes out there, just waiting to be discovered.

I feel hungry sometimes, of course I do. Usually about four or five hours after a meal, which is about right and the same as before. I don’t really trust all those diets which claim to make you never feel hungry again. Hunger isn’t something to be afraid of. You won’t starve by waiting an extra hour or so before your next meal. In fact, you should feel hungry at meal-times, otherwise you won’t enjoy your food.
And the wonderful thing about this plant-based eating is: I get to eat lots because it’s mostly all vegetables. Fruit for breakfast, veg for supper.
It’ll be interesting to see if it continues to be as easy…
This looks delicious!
It is, and so very easy to make! We made far too much, and have been eating it for the last couple of days…
Oh, it was! We made too much and ended up eating it all weekend. Really easy: boil up your chosen veg in veg stock and blitz with a blender until smooth. Season to taste and stir through with preferred cream (we used coconut).
This looks delicious, but I know just what you mean about being hungry. I always have some low calorie matzo crackers to snack on. It’s a lot like eating old envelopes, but it keeps me away from cake 🙂
They sound like the biscuits my friend and I had in Sweden. Think rich tea, but much blander. And useless for dipping in tea.
That sounds like them! They’re just flour mixed with water and baked to a crisp. I tried making my own once but it was a total disaster… It’s just easier to buy them I think!
