posting this here because i don't think this is what the vegan comm is for

i've already cut out most meat because of the price, but I consume a lot of dairy, particularly for protein, like cottage cheese and greek yogurt type stuff, and cheese and milk

i've been convinced that the dairy industry is evil

my problem is i'm allergic to:

lentils chickpeas peas soybeans all tree nuts peanuts

so like my protein options are basically grains, black beans and kidney beans. also pretty much every vegan alternative product contains this stuff. in particular I noticed that pea protein is being used a lot in stuff that used to have soy in it, which is even worse for me. soy sauce is ok because the protein is processed out.

anyone have any advice? dealt with this themselves? i can't really just make the same thing over and over again because i'm feeding my family too.

i already have a very good vegan chili I make and veggie soup, also I like salads but fresh vegetables are pretty expensive here.

Gluten gluten gluten. Eat seitan. Fantastic protein source. It's expensive in stores so you should make it yourself.

You might also be able to eat mycoprotein / Quorn. I used to get it in food service ("Molly's kitchen" brand), idk where it's sold to consumers.

Also I think it should be fine to post in /c/vegan "looking for recipes that don't include XYZ".

Washing flour to get gluten is kind of annoying, you can just buy "vital wheat gluten" to start with. But yeah. There are many recipes but the process is roughly the same: take gluten, make a dough, bake/broil/steam/boil. You have to add seasonings, either in the dough stage or cook in a broth, or it'll taste like weird unleavened bread. Here's some good links:

nice i just ordered some. expensive but not so expensive that i cant give it a try and see how much 2kg of vital wheat gluten yields. thanks!

Good luck!! If you decide you like it, you can get wheat gluten in bulk (55lbs) from bakery supply stores.

I can't think of much but seitan, sunflower/pumpkin/hemp seeds and seed butters. Mary's Test Kitchen has a series of "Will it Tofu?" videos wherein she makes tofu with various seed and bean sources.

darn, i was afraid of that

anyone at least have some good recipes that don't include my allergens?

It’s tough, your allergies are pretty much all of my staples. Recently I’ve been getting my recipes from the book Appetite for Reduction, I think there should be some ideas in there for you. There’s a Yam and Black Bean soup that was really good, and it looks like it falls in line with your requirements.
