New to the group...recipe questions...and recipe to share

[Guest guest]

Hello. I am new to the group. I have 2 boys ages 6-1/2 and 8. We became

vegetarian when my older son had troubles digesting meat...and now we are

healthier : ) My older son has lots of food allergies...gluten, casein, corn,

garlic, onions, ginger, citrus, grapes and more.

 

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do with kidney beans and navy

beans (the only 2 beans my son can have) with minimal ingredients. We are

getting so tired of chili (kidney beans, salt, pepper, cayenne and freshed diced

tomatoes for my boys...I use chili powder for my husband and myself) and refried

navy bean tortillas (yummy...but a change would be nice). Again, we cannot have

garlic, onions, or canned tomatoes (they have citric acid which is from corn or

citrus). We are eating these recipes all the time and could really use a change

: )

 

Also, does anyone have any ideas for quinoa??

 

Here is a recipe that my son had this morning...he LOVES them! I'm not sure of

the source, sorry...I got it from another :

Almond " candy "

1 cup ground almonds (the original recipe called for almond butter...but I think

it is less messy with ground almonds)

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 tbsp vanilla

 

Mix together, form balls in glass container, freeze, eat and enjoy! They store

well in a plastic freezer bag in the freezer. Just don't take them out with

you, especially if it is warm...the coconut butter will melt to a liquid state

and I'm sure the " candies " could get quite messy! : )

Kidney beans are great just in the crock pot with some chopped up fresh tomatoes

and pepper. Quinoa- boil 2 cups vegetable broth (you can use water too if you

can't find broth without onions) and 1 cup quinoa. Chop up some mushrooms and

any spices you like and add those. Boil about 15 minutes. I cook this a lot for

my dogs and I always end up stealing a bowl for myself.

With the navy bean burritos, you could try using some spanish rice in there too.

I'm sure you wouldn't be able to use the pre-packaged kind since it probably has

onions, but still you could find a recipe online that doesn't have them. The

beans and rice and Morningstar Farms Chik'n strips in a tortilla makes a really

filling meal. You could also try soft tacos with the beans, some type of

seasoned crumbles, lettuce, and tomatoes. Those are good. I made a pot pie

yesterday that doesn't have any of the things you said your son has problems

with (except I'm not sure if cream of mushroom soup has onions, but I'm sure

there would be a suitable replacement). Let me know if you'd like the recipe. It

was waaaay too good.

WRT veg stock....it's easy to make from scratch, which

means you don't have any " wrong " ingredients, and then

you can freeze it in small containers and ice cube

trays so that you have it always conveniently

available for any recipe.

You could look into some Indian recipes as Hindu's (and Hare Krishna's) do not

eat onions or garlic for religious reasons. We don't eat any onions or garlic

either and there is a spice i Indian markets called " asafoetida " or " hing " you

can ask for to replace the garlic and use " kalonji seeds " for the onion. They

taste great and don't carry the effects of onions and garlic.

 

Check at Krishna.com or a local Hare Krishna temple for cook books that are

vegetarian and no onions, garlic, or mushrooms.

I had the hardest time finding kidney bean or quinoa recipes that

didnt contain at least one of the ingredients your son can't eat.

Almost all of them I found had onion or garlic. But, here is one

quinoa recipe and also, I was looking for vegan crepe recipes for

myself as I just got a crepe pan for Christmas and came across a

gluten free crepe recipe so I thought I would add that in too. Both

recipes are from vegweb.com.

 

Banana Quinoa

 

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

 

1/3 cup quinoa

1 ripe banana

1/4 cup raisins

pumpkin pie spice (to taste)

maple syrup (optional)

 

Directions:

 

Bring 2/3 cup of water to a boil, add quinoa, stir. Bring back to a

boil, then cover and simmer 15-20 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, use a fork to mash the banana in your bowl. When the

quinoa is cooked, simply mix it with the banana mush, and add the

raisins and spices.

 

This is usually sweet enough for me, but if I'm in the mood I will

drizzle a little maple syrup over the top.

 

Serves: 1

 

Preparation time: 20 minutes

 

Delicious Gluten-free Crepes

 

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

 

1 cup brown rice flour

Ener-G Egg Replacer for 3 eggs

1/4 to 1/2 cup water (My Dad guesses. He says he goes by

consistency. The crepe batter

should be smooth)

1 to 2 tablespoon of oil

 

For the topping:

rasperberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc. any of these will

do.

your favorite nuts or nut butter

maple syrup

 

Other topping ideas:

vegan cream cheese

jams or jellies

 

Directions:

 

Mix together 1 cup brown rice flour, Ener-G Egg Replacer, oil, and

water in a bowl. Pour a small amount of batter in a frying pan, and

cook each side throughly. Crepes should be slightly golden brown

when done. Topp with nut butter, fruit, and maple syrup. Yumm! This

is a great meal anytime! Enjoy.:-)

 

Serves: 4-6

 

Preparation time: 10 mins.

Just don't take them out with you, especially if it is warm...the

Kim,

 

perhaps for a change you could make a pasta salad using a brown rice pasta (I

have had

luck with tinkiyada brand) and the beans, as well as any other veggies your son

can eat

(celery, carrots?).

 

best,

karen
