Yep. I know soy is somewhat controversial, particularly the processed stuff, but sometimes the belly wants what it wants! We tend to eat more of it in the warmer months as we eat a lot more salads & obviously potato/pasta/legume/pumpkin salads are pretty much off the table so frankenchook or soysage it is Marinated tempeh is on the menu too but is not quite as quick or convenient.

B: chilli/chocolate/coconut flour flat bread with butter & a creamy coffee
