As far as I know, all lentils and beans are great sources of protein but in order to maximise it, you should incorporate some nuts and seeds along with it. Chickpeas and tahini is a good example, so go the hommus!

Nothing interesting happening food-wise around here. I am plodding along with this bland-as-cardboard diet for a few more weeks until I either see some real improvement in DS's behaviour or I go completely berserk and have myself a little broccoli-tempeh-sticky-soy-eating binge. There's something that is still setting DS off, turning him into a silly, aggressive little boy, but I can't pinpoint it yet. Could be vegetable oil, though I don't use much of it. Or maybe it's the glutamates in peas... have to cut that out for a bit longer too. SO HARD!! And he's teething again and wants to BF a lot. Of all the times I could really use a whole mudcake to myself... hmm...

I did make a sauce substitute from red kidney beans, garlic and citric acid the other day. I don't think I love it, but it's the only way I can make this food bearable. This diet allows meat and fresh white cheeses and eggs, and all the vegetables I really despise, like swedes and celery and cabbage (without spices, anyway!) so I feel like my mind is turning to mush! It's really hard work to maintain it and still be BF and vego. But at least I can have coffee again, since it apparently has the opposite effect on hyperactivity! All this time I've been depriving myself of caffeine! Argh!
Sorry, I'm ranting... porridge brains. Does anyone have a recipe for tofu cheesecake they'd like to share??
