Snack - Crispy Rice Bar

Dinner -  Lasagna.  This is the first time I have tried to veganize  this dish.  I microwaved onion and a log  of my chrizo spiced TVP sausage and added in tomato sauce and paste, oregano, basil and parsley.  For the cheese layer, I used tofu sour cream mixed with whole wheat bread crumbs and the Daiya vegan cheese.  This was a better tasting cheese than the other 2 that I have tried.  It  was not so great by itself, but in the pasta dish it melted and there were no bad tastes.  I layered it in the same manner as traditional lasagna and topped in with nutritional yeast.  I thought that the final product was good, but could be improved on.  Silken tofu might work better than the sour cream.

Snack - dried apricots.

TVP sausage

Breakfast - Tofu Scramble with 3 slices of chorizo spiced sausages.  The tofu was scrambled with olives and onion.  The sausages were made with reconstituted textured vegetable protein, a variety of peppers, silken tofu, red wine, salt and pepper and rolled in rice flour.  They were served with the lemon tahini sauce.

Lunch - Veggie Burger on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle relish and ketchup and a bag of potato chips

Dinner - Falafel on pita with lettuce, tomato and tzatziki sauce.  The vendor put the sauce on the sandwich before I could stop him.  (Tzatziki is made with yogurt.)  That ended up being necessary.  This was the worst  and driest falafel I have ever had.  I could not have choked it down without the sauce.  Even the pita was dry and crumbly.

Snack - split a bottle of wine with Tommy and had some olives and tortilla chips and hummus.
