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??
Oh my goodness, how scary! I got nothing against people from Sweden, but swedes... ugh... I don't care if I never see one ever again!
I always request Asian Veg meals when flying, especially with Emirates. Qantas have a habit of screwing up and "losing" my vegan meal every time I fly with them. Once they offered me a green banana and a bottle of wine as compensation for a lost meal. Um, no thanks!
Enjoy the snow!!
Ooh, I made TVP spag bol last night for DP, and he didn't even notice it wasn't meat! Haha!
Sorry I have been so quiet. I hope you are all well.
cherished, I am going to make your crackers - yum!
snuggly, I hope you are recovering well. Your polenta sounds awesome. I made your sweet potato barley dish again this week. I love the cruelty free shop.
NaNa, sorry to hear about the fire. Bloody hell! That is crazy. I am glad you are all OK.
I have been craving a green curry lately, so DH made one tonight. It was soooo hot, but delicious. The kids wouldn't eat it that hot so they had something else. Since having kids we have toned down the spiciness of our food, although our kids eat spicier food than many adults we know. Sometimes I just crave a hot curry!
I have had a few Sanitarium 'Not Burgers' lately. They have changed the recipe and left out the milk. Yay!
snugbug you lil' jet setter, hope you're having fun at the snow
NaNa I have no idea how to cook with or use citric acid, I guess that's why you are the chef and I am the amateur hehehhe Hey I drove past soul food the last Sunday! we were gonna go there for dinner but they were closed so we went to that cafe paradisio place instead at the resort around the corner...
Alisha nice to hear from you hope you enjoy the crackers! and I am gonna have green curry for lunch as reading about it made my mouth water hehehhe. It feels like summer up here too, I am actually gonna sunbake on the deck today while I read a book
Krys, peach & Kaz where have you girls gotten to? Hope you are doing great xo
Snuggly I am soooo green with envy! Which resort are you off to? I actually dreamt about the snow last night. Miss it so bad!(DP and I are huge keen snowboarders) waaaaa
Cherished-How did your herb jungle turn out??
NaNa- Gotta love tvp spag. Tastes so good, but man it does BAD things to my bowels!
Aliash- Good to see you back. How good are the not burgers?! We had them in salad wraps for dinner on friday. Yummy with soy mayo and avo. I have always been a big spicy food fan, but since BF I had to tone it down so Im weaning myself back onto it slowly...
Last night DP made a pasta salad for dinner. Its Dad night sundays so he has to cook which is nice as Ive become a bit of a kitchen power tripper since being SAHM
