Hi Jill, this is such a great question! I replied to it in another post, here – http://bonzaiaphrodite.com/2011/09/what-i-wednesdays-just-another-end-of-summer-standard/

Hmm, I’d never considered a veggie stock cracker. What an interesting idea! I’m going to play with that . . .

Look for the pulp cracker recipe coming next month!

I’m glad we went, but . . . the company was much better than the falafel. =)

Sooooo did you get the Vita???

I’m still tweaking it, but look for it next month during MoFo!

Hi Lizzie, I’ve been buying the rice cakes. I’d love to try to make them! But for now, the Lundberg Family Farms brand is really great!

You’re not alone, Jill. I’m the same way. I get hungry about every 2 hours, can usually make it to three. If I’m at four, I’m very shaky and nauseous. A smoothie is a nice snack for me but it doesn’t tide me over as a full breakfast. I don’t understand how people have just three meals a day. Even eating every 4 hours, I’d reckon my lunch would be at 11 and then dinner would be at 3 PM!

One thing about me though is, after dinner, I’m done. I can usually make it to bedtime without the shakes but not during the day. I must eat frequently. Oh, and I get full quickly. So I get full quickly and hungry quickly. I’ve been like this ever since I did Weight Watchers 6 years ago. And I wasn’t vegan then. Prior to WW, my eating was disordered. So, maybe that has something to do with it. I feel hunger very acutely now and I’m vegan and eat, not perfectly, but pretty decently and always trying to improve. I think I’m just built hungrier! :)

As always, it all looks lovely…what I can never figure out, though, is why I need to eat a ton more of food than the blogs of people who eat similar diets to me? Okay, so part of it is just that I like the pleasure of eating, so maybe that’s the reason sometimes, but I’m actually quite thin, and the only exercise I get these days is walking and chasing around my 2 little kids…but I get hungry! Breakfast, for example, is a big smoothie (maybe 3 c) with veggies, 1.5 c. fruit, flax, chia…and then I need a snack an hour later (like, a lot of nuts, plus veggies, plus dip…) I know it’s not malabsorption due to Celiac disease, for example (I already know I have it and stay way far away from gluten)…I feel very healthy, just darn hungry every hour or so!

While I LOVE to eat, my grocery budget would like it if I could be satiated with a salad until the next meal time arrives. Did you used to require a ton more food?

And I second the request for what to do with leftover veggie pulp.

I love the idea of making crackers from leftover pulp. Can I do this with the remains from making veggie stock? I’d love a tutorial on making those.
