Today's dinner was pasta, two zuchinnis (we're in full zuchinni season here, they're dirt cheap!) in Dolmio's pasta sauce and a bit of bread. These pasta sauces have been on sale at asda, two 500 gram jars for 3 GBP. I'm a big fan, because there is nothing in these sauces which wouldn't be there if I made them from scratch.
You may notice this is a little carb heavy for me. I've noticed when I go vegan, to drop the cheese out of meals really knocks out a lot of the fat/calories. The rest of my work days usually look like this:
Breakfast: 08.00 - coffee in the office
09.30ish - cereal in the office. (I keep Bran Flakes in my desk drawer)
Lunch: 11.30ish - lunch in the office. Lunch is usually a leftover dinner. So when I made the above tonight, I made enough to have a second, smaller portion which will be tomorrow's lunch, usually with a side of salad, but sans bread.
Dinner: 17.00ish - tonight's dinner was the above.
19.00 - tonight a small bowl of cereal (again, focusing on the carbs a bit more than usual to keep the energy up--not normal when i'm my normal vegetarian self).

Looks good, though I avoid store-bought sauces.
I recommend the NYT series by Martha Shulman:

After overcoming initial skepticism, I tried out her "Polenta With Zucchini and Tomatoes" and was very pleasantly surprised.
Ralph: Thanks for the tip, I see she has some interesting artichoke recipes--the artichoke being something I still need to master.
