Guest guest Report post Posted June 17, 2008 That overnight tricky sounds really good, I think I'll try it tonight. I have a container of some steel cut oats that have been just sitting around. I have always been too impatient in the morning to wait for them to cook, and defaulted on the instant kind. I don't really like the instant, but I would add so much to it to try and give it texture, like ground flax seeds and wheat germ, protein powder and cinnamon that it covered it up. But with the overnight method, it sounds like I can have the best of both worlds, tasty and quick! -Angela , " cinziatre " <cmarchesani wrote: > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted September 3, 2008 Welcome, John! <<waving>> It's great to see you here. We love our veggies and grains and beans and lentils and....so much good stuff out there to try <smile>. To get some idea of what might interest you, I'd suggest checking out some old posts -- see if any subject lines jump out at you. If you want to check out the protein values of various veggie protein sources, click on the Files link to the left of the message area of the list. There's a file called List of Vegetarian Protein Sources. I think it's really helpful. In that same Files section there's also a folder of recipes. I haven't tried any of these. They also might give you some ideas. And of course you're most welcome and encouraged to post questions and recipe ideas!

Guest guest Report post Posted September 3, 2008 welcome John! I like bean based lunches myself but I am careful as my body needs non- vegetarian proteins. But I do like my beans, its the variety. so my favourite is bean and tomato stew, or redbean thai curry for example. theres a paste we can get in UK - sharwoods green or red Thai. I brown some onions and veg, add red kidney beans, thai paste and coconut milk, thicken with ground almonds and its very nice. I do find it a challenge getting the protein grams so when eating this way I'll have some greek yogurt or feta cheese for afters. mosaic , " john wilson " <radiantjw wrote: > > Hi everyone- > I am here b/c I was invited by mosaic and i'm interested in learning more about veggies > and grains, heck and protein. > I've had a very meat heavy ...well let me slow down...i've had a very bland i would say food > plan for awhile. > So, i'm here to learn about fun adn exciting things to do with food, maybe with an > emphasis on learning more about vegs and grains. > Well, thanks for inviting me over mosaic. > > john > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 3, 2008 Mosaic- that sounds wonderful! I love thai flavorered things. since being on the program I've resisted thai food b/c of MSG warnings and all that. Of course mostly I hear about msg with chinese food. anyhow, i'm alot less afraid of food now anyway and i've learned to trust my body's instincts pretty well. Beans have always beena staple of mine. recently I cut back on them b/c of some digestive problems. but i really love them so I want to see if possibly certain types of beans are easier on my system than others. recently i had some garbanzo beans and had no ill effects. I love the sound of your thai style bean dish. I want to try it out! -John , " mosaic " <mosaic58 wrote: > > welcome John! > I like bean based lunches myself but I am careful as my body needs > non- vegetarian proteins.
