First is The Happy Herbivore cookbooks. All of her recipes are simple and most use only a few simple ingredients. I have used her mock tuna and no beef broth recipes a lot. The second is the cookbook Isa Does It by Isa Chandra Moskovitz. While these recipes can be a bit more involved, I have not tried a bad recipe yet and I love her tempeh meatballs and her pancake recipe! I don't like the taste of fake meats or cheese so I tend to stick to beans and grains. I especially love chickpeas and lentils because they are so versatile.

It is a little shop about 4m wide by 5m deep, with general health food stuff. They have a peanut butter nut processor on the counter where you pay, and just do it for you, or you take one of the 5 or so tubs waiting to be sold. The use by date was October this year, so I got 2 to save on fuel getting another. Maybe one day you can do an exchange to Canberra in Australia, and go shopping here! How about a house swap, and I could check out your lovely region?!

PBS (U.S.) had a show on last night about poor children in America, and it was heart-breaking to hear these kids talk about being hungry while opening a can of vegetables for a meal. Or going without. Yes, growing children need more protein than we do, but *any* food is better than none. Lentils and beans go a long way towards staving off hunger.

Our teen son eats far more protein than us and often, I give him some of mine. There are various websites which allow you to check the nutritional content, including protein, of most foods and it's interesting to see which non-meat foods have high iron/protein content. Fortified cereals are a good start for growing children as they contain iron, various vitamins etc. Minced beef can be bulked out with breadcrumbs and egg to make burgers, and it can be bulked out with chopped vegetables, tinned tomatoes or passata, and lentils to make bolognese, chilli, meatloaf etc, all of which are quite filling. We are meat eaters and I tend to stock up when it's half price and cook all of it at once which saves on power, portion it up and freeze it. Also, I buy yellow sticker meat. Stir fries are also an excellent way of making a little meat stretch a long way by chopping it up finely and stir frying it with vegetables, and serving with lots of rice or noodles.SusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-89642709436594481672014-07-23T08:33:59.102+01:002014-07-23T08:33:59.102+01:00Oh dear, that sounds like a nightmare, Vicki.
