Hi there...gosh, I really have my difficulties with posting a reply...that ...SORRY, I messed up...hope this time I get it right! Anyway, re The Protein issue~Living in the southwestern region...it is so easy...gosh, we have beans in every way imaginable...I cook a huge amt. of "the bean of hte week" in a pressure cooker(old fashioned way works too if you're unsure of them!)and cool, freeze quantities of them in zip lock bags, and do the same with a huge pot of rice, ~there is always something quick to eat...nutritious, tasty and inexpensive to boot!
We Always have a variety of salsa's on hand, some baked tostito's corn chips (no fat!) some guacamole is great, and if you need or want, some non fat grated cheese...makes a delicious meal! We've lived on these for YEARS...we surely are not lacking for nutrition value! The cooked beans can also be sauteed in a bit of olive oil & garlic...added to pasta, to up the protein content...enjoy!
