Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Hi, I'm new here. What do your children eat at school? My daughter eats a vegetarian diet at home, but she eats meat at school b/c I don't know what to make for lunch. She doesn't like PB & J or veg burgers... she likes " real food " but they won't let her use the microwave to warm it up... Thanks Anna Macknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 > What do your children eat at school? Anna, My son is 6 and has been going to public school for several yrs. We also don't have a place to heat up food in the school. I've managed to find wide mouth thermoses. I put soups, noodles with tofu or tempeh in that. Also we send soy hot dogs. All sorts of beans with rice or millet or quinoa. Avacado spread are great or chunks or avocado in a salad. My son is a big fan or raw veggies and dip. Broccoli, carrots, green beans, pea pods, jimica. I've sent pot stickers, and veggie egg rolls. Wraps are a great thing as well. You can put raw or cooked foods and buy whole wheat, sun-dried tomato or spinach wraps. His other favorite is nori rolls. The prep. is the hardest part of that. We've even used corn grits in place or rice. The las thing is a cold tofu salad or tempeh salad with soy mayo and veggies mixed in. Peace, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 You could make her a sandwich with Tofurkey, or some other fake meat. Will she eat cold pizza or a cold bean burrito? My kids have developed a liking for Veggie Subway sandwiches (during our kitchen remodel and I add Tofurkey to those (we order with no cheese). So I was thinking you could buy that type of bread and make a Subway-type sandwich for school. I do that sometimes with hummus, Tofurkey, mustard, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber, but mostly they get PB & J cuz I'm too tired in the morning to do anything else!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Could you put things into a thermos for her? Soups and stews would certainly work that way. I don't have that option because dd (6) won't eat " mixed " foods. At least she's willing to eat soy yogurt or pb & j. When it's a bit colder and I think she needs a warm lunch, I'm going to try pasta in a thermos bottle for her. - " Anna Macknight " <macknighta Monday, September 23, 2002 11:15 AM School lunches?? > Hi, > > I'm new here. > What do your children eat at school?
