    Bit uninspired for next weeks plan

    Mon- tofu scramble with various salads and spicy potatoes
    Tue-butter bean stew with vegan chorizo
    Wed-falafel wraps with coriander hummus
    Thur- leftover butterbean stew with added veg
    Fri-Cooriander hummus , artichoke and apricot kernal pizza with salads
    Weekend- lentil dahl with apricot kernels and either roast veg or salads

    Breakfasts will be either , porridge, soya yohurts plus fruit or soup
    Lunches will either be salads with some sprouted stuff and beans or soup
    Snacks, fruit, veg or raw crackers with vegan cheese

    Everything is homemade apart from the vegan chorizo and cheese, not really motivated to bake or cook that much so keeping it simple this week

    Thanks, like all of my cooking its very improvised. Basically its just a base of red onion,garlic,celery with tinned tomatoes and puree .carrots and whatever veg ie peppers,broccoli,courgettes then the beans and some spices. Got some vegan chorizo too so its almost like educating myself to how to cook with meat and what flavours and textures compliment it!
