Gluten Free Soy Free and Hungry.

Okie dokie so for medical reasons, I now cannot tolerate gluten or soy. Or the walnuts and flax I mentioned on the other thread. 

I AM SO HUNGRY.  I am so tired of eating beans. If I do not eat a decent amount of protein with my main meals I get hungry again like an hour later. I know most foods have some protein, but I get realllly hungry unless I include beans or nuts.

Does anyone have any ideas on creative things to do with beans or really filling meals with a lot of go power? Particularly breakfast. :-\

When I get that way I eat more Quinoa, which is a complete protein like soy is.  I also make sure that I am having Rice or something along with my beans to get more of a protein punch.  Seeds are good too, like chia, hemp!, sesame, etc.

Wow..... I didn't even know they made hemp powder.  I'm really new to hemp.  Bought my first thing of hemp milk last week.  I'll have to try more quinoa....I keep forgetting it's got protein.  I keep thinking of it as just a carb.

yeah quinoa is good for breakfast too, add cinnamon, vanilla, raisins, pureed pumpkin or sweet potato, etc.

Ohhh fufuberry i feel for you i cannot have soy, gluten, nuts, and many other handy vegan things. Since you seem to be very exasperated with beans i would try some new gluten free grains like quinoa, teff, amaranth, differnent rices, ect... Also lentils have become a favorite of mine since coming here they cook much quicker than brown rice and are very versitile. I think lentil tacos will be on my menu forever :p!.  I do use flax often in baking but not so much in everyday foods so avoiding that ist actually too hard. Like GFVegmom said there are lots of other option out there that do similar things i just bought some chia earlier this month and im loving it! Seeds are also a great way to add protien to lacking dishes pumpkin is popular though i can thave them myself I prefer sesame, flax, chia, and sunflower.

Good gluten free soy free vegan breakfast foods are -
Brown Rice Farina (basically cream of rice): you can make it in large batches and refridgerate it for about 4 days before it starts losing its flavor. I like mine with rasins and cinnamon, orange marmalade, or maple syrup.

Homemade Granola: I use certified gluten free oats, flax seed (which you can replace with nuts or other seeds), chia seeds, sunflower seeds (raw and toasted), and i sweeten it with honey (i know not vegan bur easily replaced with rice syrup or just brown sugar), raw sugar, and brown sugar mixed with a little water and a  touch of grapeseed oil. I toss all that in the dehydrator (i like softer granola) overnight at about 95 - 105 degrees depening on how wet it is and viola :)! You can put the temp higher if you want to keep checking on it so it will be done faster or just put it int he oven as low as it can go and check frecuently. I also like to add dried cranberries to the mix. I generall combine the granola with puffed millet and puffed rice.

A good premade cereal i had (though im not sure if its flax free) is the Maple Buckwheat Flakes  i believe from arrowhead mills. 

Arrowhead mills also makes a great gluten free pancake mix. I like to toss some berries in the batter :). Just be sure to listen to the directions when it says DONT stir after a certain point lol.

For dinner type things i would try a pilaf. Maybe toast some millet and almond slivers to add to wild rice? I tend to do just fine with mostly veggies though i do go through an occasional protein phase so i dont have a ton of ideas, sorry :(. Hope some of it was of help though :).

I just made Snobby Joes, (from Veganomicon, the recipe is on  the PPK website), with GF  Cornbread from Gluten Free Goddess  http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2007/12/skillet-cornbread-with-green-chiles.html I just used brown rice flour instead of sorghum and omitted the chilies. It is sooo good.

There is a recipe for almond cheese pizza on this site. I've made GF, Soy free Lasagna with the almond cheese recipe. It was fantastic and filling. You can add whatever veggies you like. I put mushrooms, spinach, red peppers, onions, garlic and chickpeas. Tinkyada brand lasagna noodles were what was available to me.

I agree with the quinoa as breakfast suggestion, it is delicious with pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup and some nuts and dried fruit. I like adding some almond milk and tahini as well.

Buckwheat, (whole), can be cooked and eaten like oatmeal. It is nutrition packed and tasty.

Hemp hearts are awesome, filling and can be sprinkled on anything.

Green Smoothies are fast to make and full of lasting energy. (So I have a vita mix...). Coconut milk in smoothies is delectable...

Home made granola bars are great if you can tolerate oats. If not, there are other flakes too that you could use. Fill 'em up with hemp and other goodies and yum!

Dragonfly's Bulk Uncheese Mix is a handy thing to have around for filling you up. It's great on steamed veggies, potatoes, pasta, in casseroles, with salsa as a queso dip...

Lentil Tacos are a quick and filling meal too, especially with guacamole and dragonfly's. Try the Taco Seasoning on this site that was submitted by summerrr, it is gf and tasty.

Have you checked out the Food Allergy Survival Guide? It's full of info and recipes. I especially like the Beannaise, which is a soy free vegan mayo. I add it to purple potato salad.

I hope you find something that helps.  :)

Thanks so much for the ideas guys!! I am definitely going to use more quinoa and I have a copy of the food allergy survival guide, but haven't played with the condiments much, so I'll give that beannaise a shot!

I hope you like the quinoa and the beannaise comes out well! For condiments San-J makes alot of food gluten free things but you still have to look out for soy. Good luck!

If you can get red lentils, they are good for breakfast too. Cook them up with seasonings and maybe some veg*n bullion cubes, till they are creamy and smooth, and eat with quinoa or brown rice.

For breakfast I usually microwave a small potato and top with hummus. I love blackbean hummus for this. Filling and protienful. Sometimes I add about half a teaspoon of miso, next to the hot potato, then top with the hummus.

millet is good and simple.. rice of course.. or vegetables to fill you up (potatoes, pumpkin, parsnips,.. anything with P i guess :)
Nuts if you like any.. cashews, almonds, peanuts....pine nuts.. pistaschos..
One of my friends in berlin usually cookes different vegetables and then makes a cassorrole with different sauces and but its in the oven. Making a fresh salad to go with it.. lettuce or cabbage witih some other vegetables or fruits and then a simple dreassing.
