Whoops

Speaking of SOY i spilt it ALL OVER MY LAPTOP so I have been away for a while
I'm feeling GREAT on this IBS diet! You dont need the gross details, but at least its bearable to stay in an unventilated room with me now.

So yes, reviews... Haves a few

Soy Life Soy Yogurt - Vanilla and Peach&Mango
Overall - a little more exy than normal yogurt, no-where near as 'soy-y' as I thought, this tastes a bit like diet yogurt (except its FULL of sugar) that is a little off BUT NOT IN A BAD WAy. Just no yogurt tang or creaminess. It makes a good subm especially seeing as its got a fair bit of calcium. It was tasty enough. I had it plain, in overnight oats and on this morning's breakfast pizza (more about that later)

Australian Eatwell Chickpea and Spinach vegetarian sausages
Oh how i miss sausage sizzles - a tube of unidentifiable meat encased in a white nutritionally empty piece of fluff, drizzled with a sugar and sodium packed sauce. No seriously, I loves it. But its better healthy! These tasted pretty good. A bit dry and they dont have that outside case so they tend to fall apart. Last night I put them and some onion (and mango kabobs!) on the griller, witha little fry light on baking paper, and had with a little bit of sauce on wonderwhite high fibre bread. YUM. Tasted like sausages, with a more 'earthy' tone. I had them microaved today on cous cous and not as good. But edible and filling. Also a little exy compared to sausages, so wait until they are reduced (happens often in little stores as not many veggos around) I want to try thr sweet chilli next!

So Good ice-cream caramel
YUM. I love soy. They boy even said its edible. Wish there was a real swirl of caramel and not just colours... and some calcium. Once again exxy. more cals than grams each as usual. 40g scoop is a good little treat.

I'm struggling to keep up my calcium. Any ideas peeps? Other than lots of soy milk? Esp in snacks. Also have to use up some peaches

Log
B- Breakfast pizza - half a pita topped with soy yogurt, cherries, mango, peaches and sprunkled with Just right. Messy yummy.
L - Veggie sausages on cous cous with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and pineapple. calcium orange juice.
S - The boy will make a smoothie, putting in my friendly ingredients first (banana, watermelon, mango, peach) and I will stir in a little soy yogurt. He'll then add kiwifruit, rockmelon and yogurt to make an awesome treat for his poor mouth which is lacking 4 wisdom teeth.
D - @ wagamama and the first solid food the boy will have since de-wisdoming. I will have the Yasai yaki soba assuming the cals about 600 (altho its only 4.5 points. I dont see how this can be when the tama rice is 16.5, wish they had cals up!)
S- So good caramel ice-cream. WHY DONT YOU ADD CALCIUM SANITARIUM. Can only have a little so I can fit in Special K and glass of Soy life hi cal+ milk.

Does anyone know any good calcium fortifed cereal that goes well as a snack (vogels is good but its like eating twigs.) I wish they fortified their clusters!
