Ah yes, another week has come and gone, I have a new set of food to eat until next week! ♥ And by food, again I mean no meat, fish, eggs or even dairy products! 😢
I should be sad but nah... not really. I'm doing this for health reasons and also, why not when it's the Lenten season? I'm fasting even if I stuff myself silly with veggies, tubers, legumes and... where are the nuts? 👀😆 Looks like I forgot to buy some. Although I did buy a pack of monggo (mung beans).
Clockwise from top left: Sweet potato, pechay and kamote tops (bok choy and sweet potato plant leaves), home made sambong tea (Blumea balsamifera), Shiitake mushrooms, wrapped bananas with sambong & 10-in-1 turmeric tea packs, kamote and pechay leaves peeping from a paper bag.
I wasn't able to go to the wet market yesterday, unfortunately. Could have bought more fruits but alas. Didn't want to go out of my way just to go there after a tiring day so I just shopped nearby. Bought everything from the grocery near where I live.
Anyway, for those who weren't able to read my first vegetarian meal post, here's what being a flexitarian means:

So far I have only suffered a little. Haha. Because I still get to eat meat or fish sometimes, I am not overly sad about this experience. Still when I cook/buy those, I only include them as little as possible.
Like yesterday, I mentioned I didn't buy any hamburger even though I was suddenly craving for it. 😂 Oh well. I ate spaghetti with some hotdog slices instead. Then a tuna pie for take out. Haven't eaten that yet so maybe I'll do so tonight. 😆
This time let me share with you what I'm eating now and maybe until the next day. Hehe.
🌿 Today's Breakfast!
So what did I eat for breakfast? Well... I still had half of the last salad meal I bought online. Thanks to Foodpanda promos at least I didn't pay as much as I should. Payday vouchers ftw! (Sign up here if you wanna experience it too and get P100 off.)
Screenshot from Foodpanda PH. Of course the bacon didn´t even look like that. 😂
I added some turmeric rice and reduced the number of bacon strips. 😂 Oh and I also drank half a glass of soya milk. Yummm for the first meal of the day! 😁
🍌 Snack
Drank some of that Turmeric tea mix. Tastes okay. Not too bad at all...
Also while I was cooking my viand for the next meals (until tomorrow onwards), I had to munch on something. Ate a banana then resumed my food preparation. 😉
🌿 My Lunch
Today's viand (until tomorrow and beyond 😂 is monggo w/ kamote tops & pechay! 😆 For lunch I only added maybe 1/2 cup of turmeric rice with that. And that was it.
Tasty lunch! 😋
🍠Afternoon Snack
I also cooked the sweet potatoes I bought. This time it is the purple or reddish variety. Unlike more than a week ago, I had the yellow ones. Hehe.
🌿 Dinner
Well I might eat the same veggie viand + turmeric rice again. Perhaps I'll just eat half of the tuna pie too to make it different. 😆
Tomorrow I'll be cooking the other food I bought. Hehe. So far so good! I just hope I can keep it up until mid-April. 😅 After that I will hit the beach at a friend's hometown! Oh yeah!!!
Anyway that's it for me. How about you, how's your Lent going? What have you been eating?
XOXO,
