Thought it would be interesting to share what people eat... I am in need of some menu ideas...

Whenever it calls for brown rice and vegetables in the same meal, I add in some soy sauce, crushed red chili flakes and chopped garlic for flavor.

For the garbanzo beans, I add indian chana masala (comes in a box at major grocery stores or indian grocery), spicy ketchup and fry some onions in cooking spray.

I also make a salad of chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, lemon juice and a dash of splenda, salt and chili powder.

I always add spicy salsa to my egg whites.

Hot sauce....hot sauce....and hot sauce.

I found that sauteed mushrooms, onions, roasted red peppers, spinach and other things went well with brown rice and balsamic vinegar.

I don't think my daily menu will help adding any excitement to your diet because I mainly eat oatmeal, yogurt, fruit and veggie soup! But I have perfected fried rice for dinner! I take 2 cups of brown rice that I made the day before, heat it up in the microwave with chopped frozen onions and frozen peas and carrots. Meanwhile, either "fry" up some tofu or scramble some eggs. Add the rice and flip around for a few minutes until it's all heated. I add a touch of soy sauce. I made this last night and added a veggie burger - it was pretty good!

[Mrs. Ladybug]

how do you make your vege soup?

[GoalDown50]

My main menu consists of oatmeal, yogurt, fruits and veggies as well... For dinner...i usually eat brown rice with some veggies. But last week i made stuffed green peppers (look in the recipes section for the list) and it was soo yummy! Even my fiance's parents loved it!

Mornings I either have oatmeal with cinnamon, a fruit smootie (made with vanilla soymilk ,lowfat yogurt and frozen fruit, or a fruit salad and a cup of herbal tea.

Morning Snack: is usually yogurt or hommade applesauce

Lunch: consists of leftovers from what I made for dinner (unless it was bkfast for dinner)

Afternoon Snack: carrot sticks or 2 rice cakes (made from brown rice)

Dinner: Can be anything from veggie stirfry, rice and beans (with some morningstar veggie meat crumbles), stuffed green peppers, eggwhite omlet with peppers, mushrooms, garlic and onion and morningstarr sausage.

I actually write down all the stuff I cook in my blog if you wanna check it out.
