I found a really good SF maple syrup that is low in carbs and calories. It's called Carey's. I'm going to try that, along with some chipotle as you recommend, in my next batch of vegetarian chili, PotterGirl! Thanks for the great ideas.

ohhhhhh..Thanks,i will have to find this syrup.....i often throw my chipoltle in the good processor really chop it up......with lots of Adobe sauce...it's so good TES......i love smoky in my chili

Went shopping at Whole Paycheck yesterday. Picked up a bag of raw hemp seeds. They seem fairly soft in texture compared to other seeds and according to the package contain a high amount of protein in a few spoonfuls. Anyone tried these? Any suggestions on ways to incorporate them into food?

i have not....i am because of the high protein...Google it...let us know how make out.

in Scotland and vegetarian food i am finding is far and few between..i am struggling to get my numbers on.....yikes!

Tastes nutty, good in yogurt or plain.

PotterGirl, I was wondering about that! When I was in England for a week, it was very difficult to find light vegetarian meals at restaurants (eg, entree salads, fruit, etc.). I was on a work tour and every restaurant we went to made me something like heavy veggie lasagna with bechamel. I hated to offend them bc they made it in advance since the tour guide told them there was a vegetarian, but I realized I could start ordering dessert plates--fruit and cheese--as my entree. that was a lot better!

Hope you are having a great time!!!

my husband wanted Indian tonight and i ordered a small appetizer of paneer....it was delicious..and the size was perfect. really amazing Indian. the Brits love their Indian food!
