Soy is Another problem

Soy is in SO many foods that people are NOT even aware of..

and personally I LOVE   stuff like tofu, etc... so I hadn’t really paid much attention to the fact its a problem for many.. both my daughters had issues with cows milk as   kids & since at that time goats milk was too expensive we switched over to soy.. eldest tried using cows milk for a number of years (she’s a cheese lover) but has gone Back to soy

Before I go any further I would like to make a comment on MY OWN feelings on the subject of SOY.

Recently a lot of people have been up in arms about how bad Soy is for you…. Am sorry, but a number of nations including Japan and China have hundreds of YEARS of eating soy products & they are doing quite well. For myself I prefer to NOT get on the semi-hysterical bandwagon..

I can remember not so long ago, when even eggs were supposedly the worst thing one could Ever eat.. so, yea… so I don’t plan on getting in That parade. nor am i interested in arguing about it. its an individuals choice..

In point of fact (as an example) the Earliest known reference to soy ‘sauce’ in English was by the Englishman John Locke in 1679.

I realize tho there those who CANNOT eat it. That is a totally different issue. As many of us LOVE Asian foods this seemed to be a conundrum, UNTIL…. I found this info.

You CAN make your own non soy Soy Sauce Substitute!!!! I definitely plan on experimenting with this idea for my own self as I REALLY need to cut back on salt.. there are even Miso substitutes..

this should be a really interesting ride… 

A reminder!!! Soy Sauce ALSO generally has wheat products (yep, we dealing with wheat allergies too)

this site has a number of substitutes both retail & homemade. be aware some of the products contain Other allergins such as wheat.

Have also found a product called coconut aminos is supposed to be a good soy sauce sub  but   its somewhat Pricey (averaging at least $7 per smallish

bottle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTPgpciAWdE

a Recipe i plan on trying/Tweeking: its soy based ‘buffalo’ cauliflower

Here is what i found on MISO – my fave is miso soup   https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=soy+free+miso+soup+recipe  — a NOTE here. the video seems to have little or no talking and they use a pressure cooker to cook the garbanzo beans.. dont be put off by that. they can just as easily be done on the stove top

Miso is more “complicated’ to make than un-soy sauce but its certainly worth taking a look at

there is also a barly/garbanzo miso that is for sale on the net.. i havent found a home recipe as yet. this sounds rather good to me but we wont be using it at the wedding.           

We have a barley allergy

Besides, for the Wedding, soups are probably going to be a No Go.. mentally I keep picturing over 150 guests slopping soup from buffet to table and I get the shudders.. lol
