Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 I obviously have a variety of soy products in my pantry at all times - initially they seem more expensive, but usually they go a long way. For example, soy crumbles are about 3.00 per package, but one package is equal to 1.5 lbs of ground meat. I always have some on hand and can make a quick filling for tacos, burritos, nachos, etc. TVP is also a great idea (as someone already mentioned) - add to your favorite pasta sauce and you have a very filling and good for you sauce. And pasta is CHEAP! Plus soy protein, as with any protein, will fill you up longer! Garden buger patties are a must have - there are so many kinds so she should try a few to see what she likes. One of my favorites is hummus - I use soybeans, rather than garbonzo beans. I make regular or red bell pepper - add it to a pita, top with some spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, sprouts, whatever you like. Great lunch and inexpensive. Black beans are also a favorite here. My 3 year old eats mashed black beans on torilla chips at least once a week for lunch. I do add a little bit of cheese to his. They are great on chalupas, with shredded spinach, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, and yogurt (instead of sour cream). We love soynut butter, but it is not the cheapest thing - about 4.00 per can. Peanut butter is much more affordable - we just do not like to give it to our little ones quite yet. Well, hope this gives her some ideas. Please feel free to browse my website for the recipes for the Mexican " beef " filling, hummus, and other quick & easy ideas.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Hello everyone Soy crumbles sound a lot like something called 'Ground round' by Yves products..do you have Yves products in the States? I am from Cansda. It comes in pacakges that are about a pound of hamburger. My hubby and I had Hamburger Helper for the first time in 10 years (is that a good or bad thing?? ) All the major grocery stores (Safeway, Superstore) usually have a selection of Yves products (and others) in the produce section (even here in Saskatchewan!) linda --Original Message Text--- jennifer Holt Fri, 22 Feb 2002 20:25:44 -0800 (PST) WOW!!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Sorry I am just now replying! Soy crumbles are a meat analog, or substitute, usually found in the produce section of major grocery stores and the refrigerated section of health food stores. They are a great subsitute for ground meat (usally ground beef or turkey) and work well in pasta sauces, mexican " beef " fillings, meatballs, etc. You can also find other meat analogs to use in place of chicken and beef strips (for fajitas, casseroles, pot pies, etc). An alternative is to use TVP or TSP, which is a dried product. Textured soy or vegetable protein, usually found in health food stores and online, are used to make meatballs, patties, meatloaf, ... and you can add them to soups, stews, pasta sauces...You can find crumbles and chunks. You need to rehydrate them first - you can just follow package directions. I have a page on my site for suggested places to shop for soy online at http://www.cookhealthy.org/shopsoyfoodkitchen.html The places I suggest all carry soy products and other food items great for ethnic cooking - mexican, asian, italian, just about any type of ethnic cooking - they have great selections of seasonings, etc. Local places to look for soy would be health food stores (sun harvest, whole foods) and some of the larger grocery store chains. Where do you live? You can always check out company sites and most will have a store locator for you or places to find their products locally. Chances are in one soy product is carried at a grocery store, you will find other soy products! Hope this helps!
