what is a vegan to do????
any help from seasoned vegans would be appreciated. I am on a clear liquid diet today in preparation for a colonoscopy. I am soooo hungry!!!! I am getting what my family calls hangry! Hungry and angry! LOL
I have had a gallons of water...well not gallons but close...and I tried to have vegetable broth but it really was not clear....my big problem is I need something to take the shakes I get when I NEED PROTEIN!!! I am glad that in a few hours, I will be heading to sleep....but it has me wondering what to do in the future if I ever need to be on a clear diet again.

I bought a new cookbook
quick an d easy Vegan comfort food
my first recipe to try was
TUNA CASSEROLE
TUNA: 1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans
2 teaspoms dulse flakes
1/2 cup water
CASSEROLE
1/4 cup nonhydreogenated margerine
1/2 cup diced white onion
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups of oat or soy milk ( I used soy)
1/12 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
11/2 cups frozen peas
2 cups of cheddar vegan cheese
12 ounces penne pasta cooked according to directions
To make the TUNA: put garbanzo beans, dulse flakes and water n a small sauce pan over medium heat. cook until mixture begins to boil, reduce heat, simmer until all the water is absorbed.
CASSEROLE:
preheat oven to 400F
melt margarine in medium stokpot, add onions and cook until tender about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in flour, add oat/soy milk,salt and pepper. cook,stirring frequently until sauce begins to bubble and thicken,
Add peas, chickpeas, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and the pasta. Mix throughly.
Put the mixture in a casserold dish. sprinkly with the reamining cheese, bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
YUMMY!!!!
I put everything together on a Saturday night, threw it in the crock pot to heat , instead of using hte oven...and took it to a church fellowship dinner. It was a hit!
