Protein Sources

[Catherine]

I have never tried chia seeds. I have not come across a source for nut meat. I am using nuts in combination with other foods.
I made a cashew coconut milk gravy. It has interesting seasonings so it is tasty.

I have eaten tofu and I have seen tofurkey.  I don't do well with soya so I am avoiding it. I will try it again later.

Quinoa is bland, but mixed into a stew or with a good sauce it should be okay. I just tried it recently to see if I can eat it. Now I need to see if I can make something good with it.

I seem to have a real love for chickpeas. I love the taste and they are so useful in recipes. Hummus is good and I add it to soup. I also have a recipe for chickpea balls that have nuts and squash and they are fried and served with gravy and rice.

I am gradually coming up with recipes that I like, that I can eat and I can easily get the ingredients. 

The Spelt and Kamut I can get and I think I can get them in the form of flour. If I do my own baking it makes sense to use more than white wheat flour. I add some oat flour to recipes and get a better tasting biscuit or muffin.
I am experimenting and trying new things.

I do listen to my body. If I feel hungry and craving something I will listen just in case I am missing something.
