Thanks to my lovely daughter, we have now discovered tvp - textured vegetable protein. It sounds pretty strange as something to eat - kind of like a pipe or chemical or something. BUT, if you mix it with water, it amazingly has the texture and taste of ground meat. She made us a pasta dish with tvp, spaghetti sauce and spaghetti and it was delicious. We used more of it later in the week to have with tacos. I mostly was using refried and other beans with my Mexican food but the tvp with taco flavoring was so good, it will definitely be a welcome addition. This addition to our menu offerings is especially good because my husband does not like many of the other vegetable protein alternatives like tofu. He has become an avid fan of tvp since even though he doesn't eat much meat, it has been hard finding him other sources of protein.
Eat less meat
It might be a healthy treat
Cholesterol-free and a taste that's neat
Will help your heart and slim your bulky seat
And make you dance to the funky beat!
