Meat-eater mom needs help for vegetarian dd
Julie Stauffer
Hi all,
Adriane (11) has decided to no longer eat meat due to ethical considerations
(of course, she still sells her animals for slaughter. Hhhmmm. But she is
figuring out her morality and priorities and I want to support her.)
Anyway, we live in the heart of cattle country and know no one who doesn't
eat meat. I worry about her getting enough protein while we are still
learning about this kind of diet.
I know several people on the list are vegetarian or their children are.
Would y'all mind emailing me some recipes that your kids like? For the past
week, Adriane appears to be living on a particular soy-based type of Ramen
noodles and pineapple, along with a smackeral of Halloween cookies. She is
not averse to animal products, such as milk or eggs, that do not require the
death of the animal.
Julie--who thanks you in advance

Julie,
a couple of good books you might consider reading are "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins and "The Mad Cowboy"(I think it is) by John Lyman.

Julie!! I'm so sorry! I remember getting this message and thinking that I
would have to answer it and then, well, then, well.... who knows what
happened! But what didn't happen is me answering your question!
I do have a great book to recommend. It's called "Kids Can Cook:
Vegetarian Recipes" by Dorothy R. Bates. There's a section for parents
called "How you can be sure your child's vegetarian diet is nutritious," by
Suzanne Havala, M.S., R.D, F.A.D.A. There are lots of great, basic recipes
that are vegetarian and can be veganized (no animal products whatsoever)
for kids who want to do that. The recipes are geared for kids to do the
cooking, but I like to use the book myself. Here's a link to the book at
Amazon. The ISBN is 1-57067-086-2, and it's published by the Book
Publishing Company.

(you'll probably have to paste this in since it'll probably wrap).
Here are other links vegetarian/vegan recipes on the Internet:
http://www.vegetarianrecipe.com/default.asp
http://www.veganoutreach.org/starterpack/recipes.html#Hummus
http://www.vegkitchen.com/Veg_pantry.htm (Good information about basic
staples and other things to have on hand). There's also a link for
kid-friendly recipes.

I hope these are helpful for you!

Hello.
My family and I eat a lot of "fake meat", which is soy or wheat based
but has a similar texture and flavor to different meats. Morningstar
Farms makes a great line that should be available in the freezer
section of larger grocery stores. You can just substitute these into
your favorite recipes, and they are high in protein.
My pediatrician also recommended that my children eat an egg a day,
which will supply plenty of protein and iron. French toast is always
good for days when an egg just doesn't sound good.
Finally, toss some black beans in with many of your favorite dishes.
They go great in spaghetti sauce, with rice, or fried tofu.
Good luck!
