Eden's Black Soy Beans are good, you can make chili with them. Don't
remember if you have a gas stove in case of power outage. TVP is good in
chili, too, if you aren't too wary of soy. You can also cook it like
oatmeal. Are you familiar with Quest protein bars? Too late to order them
probably but they don't have most of the bad things most protein bars have.
I think some of the drug stores may have them, try RiteAid if your have
them. There are two types, the natural ones don't have the Splenda but I
like the others best, I nuke them for about 40 seconds and they taste like
fresh baked cookies/brownies. I eat one for breakfast every day as I am in
no shape to cook when I first get up. And they keep me satisfied for quite
some time. Could you possibly learn to drink your coffee black? I started
on black coffee, then went to college and started putting cream in to cool
it so I could drink it in a hurry but I have gone back to plain black
coffee.
