Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi Donna, I'm new here too. I'm in transition, I'm cutting out meat but still enjoy eggs and cheese once in a while. Have you ever tried any of the marinated/baked tofu products (they're usually right next to the regular tofu)? They're more " edible " if you're turned off by the texture of tofu (I'm not crazy about it right out of the package but I HAVE used the extra firm in a stir fry - my husband didn't even notice!). If you freeze it then defrost it changes the texture, and I'm starting to experiment baking/marinating my own. There are also frozen products (crumbles, veggie burgers, chicken like products (Quorn is one brand), and TVP-textured vegetable protein (I just learned about it here! Got some yesterday and plan to try a meatless loaf this weekend!). Or you can blend silken tofu into a smoothie (I like it with almond or soy milk, fruit, sometimes almond butter, rice protein powder, good protein there too). I also love quinoa (has lots of protein) and am trying other grains. And my favorite bean is the garbanzo (chick pea). Check out the recipes, there are TONS of great ones (and I mean TONS!).

Without liking tofu (can't get past the thought of it) I feel like my choices are limited. Looking forward to getting lots of ideas and encouragement. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
