How do you make a vegi taco salad? Saw someone else post about it recently and wondered how you would make one? I've never heard of it before!

I use a meat substitute ( so sorry about the spelling) like tofu, or vegie ground round and use taco seasoning when cooking it ( when using tofu I freeze it first and then I once thawed I remove all water I queeze it like a sponge I prefer the texture that way....I add tamari or soy sauce to the toffu to add a bit of flavor and color to it) I just put it on a salad and voila veggie taco salad!

Uless you count 1 Mr freeze the small ones and a hand full of chips follow by some pop a few sips.
Diner

then another couple of handfull of chips with a few sips of pop.
no water
today
Breakfast
12 grain bagel
coffee
lunch
1 frozen meal kong pao chicken from VH didn't check the calories it was a last minut choice (if you call craking open the freezer and grabing a box with out looking a choice)
snack
1 sm coffee
1 cup of cherries.
Diner
thai wraps (chicken , lettuce, some cheese, red pepper in a whole wheat bun with a bit of spicy red pepper sauce)
about 2 cups of cherries.
snack

Thanks Xe!
So the weekend was a wash veggies burger, home made poutine (fries where made from real potatoes and baked into oven not fried) Chiness food on Sunday.....The only up side is that I ate a tones of veggies on the burger and had lots of veggies in the chinesse grub. Also drank lots of water and danced for 2 hours straight on Saturday evening hubby had to go help out his brother and I stayed home with the kids and got bored so I turned on the I pod and danced.,...my legs are really feeling still today!
breakfast today
bagel toasted with a tiny bit of butter
coffee
no morning snack....I forgot to take my break
lunch
2 slices of vegie pizza left over from thurs we are now all out for a while!
2 cups of mixed fruits red and green grapes and cherries!
diner
chicken breast
with some potato wedges
some more grapes
I know I will get hungry later I made a salade to eat with diner but was too full to eat it so that will be my snack so I get some veggies in there
I want to find a easy recepie for hummus I don't like the store bought and it would be a great lunch with some veggie sticks!
in other good news I got asked to work one extra week!
I need to go if I want to go for my 3 KM walk / run!

I dropped off the van at lunch at our usual mechanic across town from where I work...they where supposed to drive me back to work but I got there on ther're lunch break no one was there so I walked back to work wich left me very little time to eat...not that I was hungry after spending the morning xeroxing in a very hot room I drank 4 X 32oz of water between 8 - 12 so food today is a little weird!
Breakfast
12 grain bagel toasted with butter
coffee
lunch
a couple of handfull of chips while walking
about 2 cups of cherries
snack
90 cal pack of caramel crispy mini's
diner
4oz chicken breast
2 cups of sauteed mixed vegies ( peppers, mushrooms, oignions, zuccinni and another vegie who is like a zuccinni but yellow can't think of the name)
exercise....I walk across town at lunch in tongs sandals ...the payless version of the shape ups...my legs are not liking me much this evening!
I will do some crunches and some weight lifting after this!

Hey Xe
I think on sunday it was a mixture of being over tired and stressed about money ( still haven't gotten my first pay check) and the heat!
Once I ate the crakers I felt better until the junky super that is!
