The pics are great! These could be in a cook book! Awesome job!

Thanks y'all. It was fun and delicious! Except my parents, the Proteinaholics, came. It was after all their son's bday...and I had to hear the smirky remarks like "where's the beef?" Smh. That's just disrespectful and in my own house! Well, I need to let go, forgive, and move on though. My husband and I know what we're doing and that's that. Only the ignorance (uneducated) will start a fight or say stupid things.

That is too bad. I understand that the WFPB way of eating is not something everyone wants to do, but they should just support your decision and at the very least keep their opinions to themselves.

Sometimes we just have to exercise our patience muscles.

Mine are running short, but I've got to tap in the grace that the Lord has for me to use on others. lol

I can relate!!

Some people definitely require more grace. Thank God for the extra measure that is given to us just for times such as these.

I bet the food was enjoyed by everyone!!

Based on my reading he said I believe 47g for women and 60 for men but I would have to look that up. He also provides a formula to use.

Makes sense. I used both my ideal weight and goal weight times 2/3 and then 4/5 and kept coming up with figures in the range 49g to 62g ... so your 60g for men seems about on par!

Thanks.

Now that I've learned to make different lentil dishes, I too, am enjoying them.

Yes, lentil meals are not normal in Australia but I started adding lentils to Soups and stockpots years ago. They are great value as good filler and very good nutrition.

My wife and her mother have a few dishes that are centred on lentils.

I must aim to incorporate more post-surgery.

There are so many variations of recipes to use with them. That's why I enjoy it more. If it were just one recipe that I did and didn't adventure off to try anything new, I'd probably grow sick of them.

i guess you can say that with any food, but since I went wfpb, I've been more adventurous. 😊

Today a coworker was telling me how tired he is due to stress. He's got high blood pressure, etc. I said, "hey, if you change your diet, you could help yourself a lot!" He says, "Tell me what I have to do and I'll do it." (Rubbing my hands together...yay!!) I told him to either eliminate or reduce his consumption of meats and eat salads for lunches and dinners (he doesn't have time to cook--always picking up something) and always have some fruits and veggies to snack on throughout the day. I also sent him a few videos from nutritionfacts.org regarding blood pressure and diet.

I hope he does it and sticks to it. I talk with him most days, so I'll be following up. I want to hear how much better he feels.

Yesss, I love to see people passing it on!

Man, you've really taken off with the tofu! I still haven't made any...and as I don't feel well, haven't made any dinner this week really. Except a kale salad with cranberries, feta, red onions, with some dressing and a few cheese tortellinis. It was delicious. If I can just get over this achy feeling, I'll be up to doing something new and hopefully the tofu! I need to find that parmesan one you did...

Was reading a Pound of Cure this morning. I've had it way before the Proteinaholic came around in my life. Funny how I can finish a larger book, but this one seems to be taking a very long time!

lol I discovered I really like tofu now that I know how to prepare it correctly.

The cheese tortellini sounds yummy 😋

Now that cooler weather is here it is casserole and Soup time. Looking forward to trying some new recipes.
