Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hello! I joined this list a while back but never posted. Then because of all the other lists I was on, became overwhelmed and took myself off this list. I'm back wanting to find some dinner ideas that are more vegetarian for my protein needs. I'm not vegetarian completely but feel better when I eat a vegetarian dinner as it is easier to digest. I need a lot of protein so do the vegetarian burgers work for people or not? Some have brown rice and oatmeal added to them so can that count as a brown? I can add cheese and such to make up the protein but the ones I have seen have some sort of sugars in them. Does anyone use a certain brand that works good and where are they purchased? I have a Coop in my area but not a whole foods(although we are getting one in 2008...yay!). Costco carries a gardenburger that I love the taste of, just don't know if I can have it once I'm through the steps...on steps 2/3 at the moment, tightening up. I've seen others with no sugars but the texture isn't as nice for me. I understand that Kathleen doesn't recommend too much soy unless they are in menopause so I'm not sure if that limits me...I am in premenopause. I'm also on a fairly tight budget and I'm hoping to learn how to do the food on a budget in a day or two with the class. I think I would have to eat an awful lot of beans and rice to equal the protein amount so I'm not sure that is doable. Thanks in advance for any tips/ideas.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi, Terri, Welcome to the list. I am fairly new here, too, but I have a few ideas for you. First, since you like the idea of the garden burgers, go with the one you like best - regardless of the sugar content because you do not need to start thinking about taking out the sugar until Step 7. Eat food you enjoy. If you like the Costo burgers, buy those and put cheese on them to boost the protein content. Even if the garden burgers have oatmeal in them, it would not be much, so you would need to eat a brown with that. I can totally relate to how you feel better when you eat more vegetarian. I like to eat beans because they are cheap, convenient and versatile. They also are very filling and a good source of fiber. When I eat beans as my protein, I eat almost 2 c. to get my 24 g of protein. Add a brown and a green to that, and that is a lot of food! It's great! And, I am not gaining weight. I can telll you how to cook beans to drastically reduce the gas problem. If you are interested., let me know, and I will post it. Here is one meal option that jumped to mind when reading you post. I got this idea from this fun restaurant in Portland, OR call The Laughing Planet. Put some brown rice (1/2c - 1c. whatever you need) in the bottom of large bowl, A pasta bowl works well. Put some beans on top of that. 1 c. of beans (such as black beans or pinto beans) has 12 g of protein. To boost the protein content, you can put some cooked chopped chicken or some cooked ground beef on top of the beans. Sometimes I like to put some grilled vegetables on top of that. ( Trader Joe's makes a good frozen red/green/yellow pepper blend called 'Melange a Trois' that you can roast in the oven.) Then put some shredded cheddar cheese on top of that (1/4 c of shredded cheese has 6 g of protein), and microwave for a minute or so until hot. Top with some salsa, if you want, and that is a cheap and easy meal. You can make large quantities of the indgredients ahead of time and store them in the fridge, so you can get multiple meals from it. Let us know how things are going! -Lynn Terri Fast <jrfast3 wrote: Hello!I joined this list a while back but never posted.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi Terri! I'm like you; I'm not a vegetarian but feel that my stomach doesn't always want a lot of meat. One of my favorite vegetarian foods is quinoa. Have you tried it? It's a seed that you boil for about 15 minutes. It has so much protein I sometimes use it as my protein and have beans for browns! I also like to cook quinoa and red lentils together to make it taste more. My favorite vegetarian meal is oven-baked zucchini with quinoa. I make it like this: Slice zucchini/squash and fry for a few minutes. Put in an oven pan with some chopped or sliced tomato (or any other veggie you like). Mix feta cheese with some cream (I've used cottage cheese too), garlic and fresh basil until you get a runny paste. Put this over the veggies and bake in oven for about 20-30 minues. Cook quinoa with some red or yellow lentils (they will be your brown) for 15 minutes, add salt and pepper and maybe a little butter if you want. I sometimes eat this with bacon, but usually quinoa and cheese covers my need for protein.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi Terri, I'm new to the veg list myself and not a vegetarian anymore either, just tired of meat and wanting to include more veg options. My own personal favorite it a large baked potato with veg chili, cheese, and cottage cheese on it. :-) 1 cup chili is about 12g protein and 1 cup cottage cheese is about 21g, then a oz. of cheese for 7 and you're up to 40. The trick is finding chili with no msg. Best bet is to make your own. And the potato with skin is a brown, of course. My other plan is to mix Restore into other veg recipes, like mac n cheese or cream sauces over pasta, using ww pasta, of course.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi, Another way to reduce gases and increase nutrients is sprouting the beans. Follow the soaking steps to reduce gas. Then spread a towel on a flat pan, an put the soaked beans. Rinse your beans twice a day until tails start to grow. The cooking time is reduced and the beans have a different texture, but virtually no gasy build up. Peace Blessing & Joy (PB & J) DeannaAOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi, everyone, Here is how I cook beans to reduce the gas problem as much as possible. It is basically soaking the beans twice before cooking. Soaking will leach out the substance that causes the gas. Rinse beans under running water. Add to a big pot and fill 3/4 way with hot water. Bring to a boil, and let it boil 2 mins. Then, turn off heat and let it sit for an hour. Rinse beans again under running water. They will have expanded quite a bit, so I ususally rinse them in batches - maybe 2 or 3 c. at a time. Rinse out the pot well, too. Return the beans to the pot, fill with cold water, and let it soak again at least 4 hours or overnight. Rinse again in batches and rinse out pot. Put beans back in pot with fresh water and cook until they are soft. Make sure you cook them until no hardness or grittiness remains because undercooked beans are hard to digest and will produce gas. Rinse the beans well after cooking. Unused portions can be refrigerated 4-5 days, or frozen. I have found that freezing causes the beans to get mushy, so thawed beans work great for refried beans or a bean dip. Let me know if you have any questions. -Lynn Lucinda <lucindabush wrote: Lynn,I am always interested in learning ways to "drastically" reduce the gas problem in beans!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Easy cashew chili: Start with a base of your own homemade marinara sauce (I do this once a month and freeze for easy meals on busy nights). (or, if you are in a hurry, you can simply use canned tomatoes). Saute up some onions and garlic and peppers if you like them (you also can skip this step if your sauce already contains these vegetables, I like to get in as many vegetables as possible), add a cup or more of raw cashews (buy these in bulk, you can use the broken pieces, they are less expensive than whole), and stir with cayenne pepper to taste. Add in some pre-cooked kidney beans or black beans (I also keep these in pints in the freezer, or you can use canned, drained beans, but rinse to remove extra sodium used in packaging.) Add your marinara sauce (or canned tomato), and if you use processed foods, you also can throw in a package of Morningstar Farms grillers crumbles (I am not fond of this; it tastes like what I remember meat tastes like) for more protein. Simmer and serve over whole wheat noodles, or brown rice, or any cooked grain, with a green salad. Variations: you also can throw in some fresh or frozen corn and/or top with grated regular or soy cheese Satina <dharmaworker wrote: Hi Terri,I'm new to the veg list myself and not a vegetariananymore either, just tired of meat and wanting toinclude more veg options.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Actually, I haven't found that to be true. In fact, I never used to have issues with beans, but now, if I eat beans too often, I have a lot of distress. I have better luck with beans I have cooked myself. I soak them in hot water, then rinse well before cooking. But I still have to be careful about how often I eat beans. Allison Gail Shapiro Mar 8, 2007 8:09 AM Re: Needing some dinner ideas!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I have read that if you aren't getting a lot of fiber in your diet, and then you eat a lot of beans which are a high source of fiber, it takes awhile for your body to adjust to all the fiber. Also, I have noticed that it's not always the beans that upset my stomach, but sometimes it's all the spices and onions that are the culprit. -Lynnalschacht wrote: Actually, I haven't found that to be true.
