@jakedduck don't know if this info will be old stuff to you and others that are suffering trying to eat food that tastes good and easy to prepare. It took me a long time but with the help of the internet but know that changing what we eat and how has to be a permanent change. First the grocery store has pre cut fruits and vegtables vegan version of mayo - Vegenaise !ow sodium and low fat. In freezer compartment are chopped versions of many veggies no sodium my newest discovery was plain cauliflower rice. Now I make my own. Online on the search bar enter "all recipes " this enormous website asks what are you looking for enter what you want to make or research. Online or on TV there are multiple cooking shows entire what type and press enter. Since my food issues jump around by issues I started with Vegan recipes to get a base of understanding. I do eat chicken and salmon but wasn't raised with a healthy variety. Also the key to me besides easy is very few ingredients usually 3 - 5 covers it. Of course you know that pasta comes in whole wheat lentil chickpea pea protein greens. etc and ancient grains are highest in protein quinoa farro couscous. And monk fruit is a natural sweetener. I recently made vegan .mac 'n cheese honestly and am going to make seiten soon. Start slow it's doable just takes patience.

Good ideas, @lolaemma!

“....changing what we eat and how has to be a permanent change.” I absolutely love the direction you are going in and the fact that you are actively thinking about and following the process of your research. I tried chickpea pasta last week and the brand Banza was excellent. I was also surprised at a purchase at Whole Foods this weekend of their brand (365) plant based cheddar...a cheese alternative. The nutritional facts seemed similar to regular cheese with few ingredients and it actually tasted like cheese. It melted well on a veggie burger for my plant based food day. I also love mashed cauliflower and found a frozen version that has simple ingredients also.

May I suggest again that we all read labels when we shop. Too many of “vegan” and gluten free products are not healthy at all. Know where your food is sourced if possible.
Keep up the great adventure.
