eating

Sooo, I don't normally talk about food, because I don't normally pay that much attention to it.  I eat sort of pathetic meals, bake when I feel a sugar craving, and generally just don't care about it all that much.

But I'm a little over a week into a crazy food purge, and I'm spending all my time cooking, grocery shopping, looking for recipes, and I think y'all probably have some good suggestions.  As it happens, I have a dairy allergy and am hypoglycemic.  Which means for the next two MONTHS, I am not allowed to eat:

-sugar (of any form, including honey or maple syrup)(stevia is OK)
-dairy (duh.  my mom briefly tried to convince me that goat cheese was OK)
-alcohol (this is making parties significantly more awkward at the moment.  I feel like there should be some sort of hump, or I'm going to start filling beer bottles with water just so I have something to hold)
-caffeine (surprisingly, mornings aren't actually that much worse)
-juice of any kind
-dried or tropical fruit of any kind (that's the end of my banana days)
-I MUST have protein with every meal.  I've begun putting soya protein in my oatmeal (hint, add some unsweetened apple sauce to hide it a little)

You would think this would be horrible (especially if you know how many of those hazelnut lindt chocolate bars I go through...), but it's been sort of great.  I am never hungry, low on energy, light headed, and I never crave sugar.  I am cooking all the time, which means I'm eating waaaay healthier.

I had no idea how hard it was to avoid sugar!  I even had to replace my soy sauce - seriously, there is sugar in EVERYTHING.

In any case, does anyone have suggestions for good food (ok, I'll admit, specifically things that taste like chocolate) that I might be able to make?  I really love baking, but trying to find recipes I can eat is tricky.
