Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 welcome Karen quorn is really big news in the UK, you can get all sorts of products - but need to read the labels as ever, depending on your step. I love falafels - cant beat them wrapped in ww pitta. here is Jakimarys recipe - my addition is a big bunch of fresh coriander. I small fat red chilli 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp bicarb 1/2 tsp cream of tartar salt and pepper large tin chickpeas bunch fresh coriander. whiz it al up in the processor/ fry it in spoonfuls in oil its also my party piece - great to take along for new years or gatherings , with some dips. Chickpeas is garbanzo bean but Ive forgotten what American coriander is - I'll nip back when I remember! mosaic , " Karen Mc Donnell " <arwenavery wrote: > > HI > > Im not too big on soy products like tofu...today i used quorn sausages but > that could get expensive LOL...and im not a peanut butter person...but > thanks <smile> > > Karen Quote

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Hi Karen, Do you eat wheat? If you do, have you tried seitan (made from the protein part of the wheat)? You can buy it pre-made or make it yourself. I've done both, and I like my homemade better. It works well for me as a protein source and is low in carbs. I mention this only because I prefer " denser " proteins like this with a side of brown like beans or skin-on potatoes. If you want a recipe for homemade seitan, I can post mine here. I haven't yet tried quorn -- I really detest mushrooms, so I've been a little put off <smile>. But I do like tempeh, which uses a mushroom culture, so maybe I'd like quorn. ) cheers, Cinzia , " Karen Mc Donnell " <arwenavery wrote: > > HI > > Im not too big on soy products like tofu...today i used quorn sausages but > that could get expensive LOL...and im not a peanut butter person...but > thanks <smile> > > Karen > > > On 10/24/07, anna_ristow <Sunshine7 wrote: > > > > Hi and Welcome Karen! > > > > How about marinated tofu slices or peanut butter with bananas (or > > fruit if choice). > > > > Let us know how it goes > > > > Anna > > > > <% 40>, > > " K " <arwenavery@> wrote: > > > > > > hi > > > im karen and ive been doing the programme since january, im on step 3 > > > and im going back to being a veggie > > > im just after returning to uni as a mature student and im wondering > > > what i can put in a sandwhich for a good lunch? a sandwhich (or > > > wrap/pitta) is the best way for me to eat as i tend to have to walk > > > while eating (annoying but neccesary).Looking forward to getting to > > > know you all > > > > > > Karen > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote
