Day Three of the 30 Day Vegan Challenge

I was dreading the day I'd have a hangover during the vegan challenge, I didn't expect it to be this early on but a couple of drinks with some old work friends turned into dancing like a goofball until 4 o'clock in the morning!

My head was pounding this morning, I couldn't lift it off the pillow until early this afternoon. Usually, when hungover, as soon as I can crawl out of my bed it's off for a round of McDonalds for the housemates and myself. But today, it was a trip to the supermarket for baked beans. Luckily, I love beans on toast. Naturally, the boyfriend wanted bacon which was my worst nightmare during this challenge. Everyone drools at the smell of bacon! But... I resisted! 

Another of my hangover problems is I simply can't stop eating! Today was no different. Dinner was a nice big portion of vegan spaghetti and meatballs nom nom nom. I have to say though, I did miss the cheese but I'll get used to that eventually.

Food Diary:

Lunch: Beans on toast

Snack: Crisps and dip

Dinner: Spaghetti and meatballs

If you wanted to know how I made my spaghetti and meatballs, here's how:

This is a recipe for two portions.

Ingredients:

Soya meat free meatballs - as many as you want! I had 5 per portion.

Spaghetti or noodles (make sure they're vegan, obviously)

One onion

A handful of mushrooms

One clove of garlic

Two portions of frozen spinach (I love this stuff, you can chuck it into any tomato based sauce to add another one of your five a day but you can use fresh spinach if you prefer)

Mixed herbs

Black pepper

Chilli powder

Pre-heat the oven and cook the meat free meatballs

Boil your water for your spaghetti or noodles and start cooking them.

When they're cooked just drain the water and leave them until your sauce is finished

Whilst those are cooking make your sauce...

Chop one onion and a handful of mushrooms

Fry the onions and mushrooms with a clove of garlic (crushed)

Defrost a couple of portions of frozen spinach 

Chuck in a tin of chopped tomato's and your spinach

Season with black pepper, a teaspoon of chilli powder, and a teaspoon of mixed herbs

Let your sauce simmer on a low heat until your meatballs are done

When your meatballs are finished boil the kettle and pour over your spaghetti to get rid of the starch and to heat them back up again.

Chuck it all together, and dinner is served! Enjoy!
