I guess it sounds like grain based salads with tofu and beans might be the way to go, biggest problem is obviously the time factor but if you can find a spare hour to cook up a massive pot of rice then just chop a load of veggies and add a couple of tins of beans in the mix you could store that in the fridge and just fill a lunch box as you go. Hope other than the food thing and your fibro playing up your ok and having a blast in London xxxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750566575420501632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123881308570553564.post-25386009757387426372011-12-05T17:07:55.680+00:002011-12-05T17:07:55.680+00:00Sorry your feeling so frustrated, that does sound ...Sorry your feeling so frustrated, that does sound so difficult having to avoid so many foods! This comment may not make a lot of sense as I've got 2 children running around me, but off the top of my head...<br /><br />Your comment about salads made me think - I never eat traditional "green" salads, but love carby salads. My Mum used to make a tasty rice salad with raw mushrooms, spring onions and coleslaw (can you make this dairy free?). I also love quinoa salad with roasted squash etc -Peas & Crayons has a recipe that I'm planning to make for Christmas which is basically curried quinoa salad with cranberries, roasted bns and roasted cauliflower.<br /><br />What did you buy at Wholefoods? Can you recreate that at home? Although from your Twitter feed you seem super busy, so I'm guessing you also don't have a lot of time for cooking!<br /><br />Protein i'm not much help with as I rely heavily on eggs & dairy. I love marinated and then grilled tofu though, you could add that to carby salads too.<br /><br />I hope you get lots of other suggestions and start enjoying food again. Take care of yourself too, you've had lots of changes recently, you probably need some time to adjust so don't beat yourself up for having to rely on eating out etc xLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750376299218627319noreply@blogger.com
