to get the proteins you need you will have to research combining beans, legumes, and grains.
dishes that have beans and rice can be varied many ways. also beans and corn for a Mexican twist. check out quiona, a high protein grain. and the many forms of dahl with lentils and dried peas in the wonderful Indian and Nepali cuisines.
with out dairy you will ned to amp up other foods for calcium and iron. Go to the wonderful dark green leafy veggies. the iron is better assimilated when the greens are cooked. and again you get these elements from beans.
will post a couple of recipes below,
Nan
