Hi Karen,

 

How do you get your soy " meatballs " to stick together? I tried using the

veggie crumbles, but the " meatballs " would not stick together.

 

Thanks

Kerri

Hi, Diana--

 

I'm not sure it's really possible to have *no* carbs,

but there are lots of *low*-carb dinners. Are there

particular ingredients you would like to work with? I

could foward on a few SBD recipes if you give me some

general idea about what you like.

 

I don't like cooking big elaborate meals, so I tend to

rotate between a few tried-and-true staples:

 

--Stir-fry with veggies and baked tofu or seitan (vary

the ingredients/sauces to keep interesting)

 

-- Bean/soy meat chili or soup

 

-- Curry: chickpea, spinach, other veggies

 

-- Big salads with beans

 

-- Pizza made with Portobello mushrooms as the crust;

lasagna with portobellos standing in for the noodles

 

-- " Pasta " made from spaghetti squash with tomato

sauce, sauteed veggies, soy " meatballs " , soy parmasean

 

-- Scrambled tofu omelettes with soy sausage (I

sometimes like to eat breakfast for dinner!)

 

-- Lettuce wrap sandwiches with soy meats/soy cheese

(butter leaf lettuce works well)

 

-- PM snacks: nuts, avocado, hummus

 

Hope this starts you off well...

The gravy I make is really simple - a pile of yeast,

with enough boiling water whisked in to make a thick

cream sort of sauce. Then I add about 1 TBSP of

flaxseed oil per serving. (Sorry it's not real exact -

I make up stuff as I go along.) You don't cook it at

all, the boiling water provides all the heat you need,

and if you're going to serve it later, wait to add the

flaxseed oil until just before you serve. It's kind of

nutty and cheesy, and my daughter and I eat it on

pasta, veggies, potatoes, tofu, whatever. If I want to

make the extra-healthy version, I put a bunch of

turmeric in too (like a tsp per serving), which makes

it look kind of like cheese sauce.

That sounds good. What does tumeric do to make it more healthy? Sorry, trying

to catch up with what is in what. With a toddler, I am just now becoming more

concerned, especially since she is really picky.
