Hi folks. I have had success in the past by cutting out the animal products from my diet. Honestly, my body liked that. I felt so much healthier. I didn't have any icky side effects, had more energy, and it cost less for me to cut out that expensive cheese, eggs, milk, and meat.
However, I've got a little issue that is making me wonder if I can do this. About 6 months ago I had some peanut butter and had a severe asthma attack. This was so weird for me because I've eaten peanut butter all my life and never had a problem. So I went to the doctor, got tested, and sure enough have an allergy to peanuts. So sad! I also am allergic to caffeine so I don't drink sodas or eat chocolate.
What options are out there for protein for people who can't eat peanut butter? I know there's tofu, which I had in a Chinese stir fry last night with veggies and garlic over rice. (It was heavenly and I'll be eating the leftovers for lunch today! My 4 year old liked it too!) Advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I do have a blender and a food processor but I don't have a dehydrator.
Also, do you have any kid-friendly recipes that I can make for my daughter to try? When she was a baby she refused to eat meat and cheese, but as she's gotten older she's fallen into the chicken nuggets and mac-n-cheese trap that her friends have. I'd like to come up with something new to try that she will like that's healthier.
Thanks in advance!
