Tanya veg head for18 years

[Guest guest]

thanks,

 

These are really good ideas. I usually cube up some extra firm tofu and throw

it in with some simmering sauces of various flavors and cook them. My daughter

used to love it plain and would not eat it with flavoring (crazy). With my son

I have come to the conclusion that he will not be as easy. I really love the

idea of making it into nuggets or mixing it with yougert.

 

thanks

 

Tanya

I usually use 1/2 tofu and 1/2 ricotta in the bean and pasta slop.

have served the tofu to you son.

Sometimes it is the texture that can cause little ones not to eat

it. I often freeze the tofu to give it a chewier texture. Also,

I'm sure you know that tofu takes on pretty much any flavor it is

mixed with. You can blend it with other fruits or yogurt to make a

smoothie or you can freeze it into popsicles too. You can also cut

it into slices and coat them with some corn meal or wheat germ, bake

them in the oven and you will have tofu nuggets - with some dipping

sauces, he may like those too. Just some suggestions. .. :-)

Good luck,

Michele

> Hi my name is Tanya I am 31 years old and I have been a vegetarian

for 18 years now. I have 2 children, one is 10 and the other is 2.

Both of my children are being raised vegetarians. We eat eggs and

dairy we get our eggs from my sister (she has no roosters). Both of

my children are raised with the teaching that we do not need to

survive by pointlessly killing animals to survive. Our technology

and advancement in our knowledge of nutrition has provided us with a

fantastic opportunity to live a healthy lifestyle -meat free-. When

my daughter was 7 I decided that I had provided her with all of the

information that I could and I started to allow her to make her own

decisions regrading her meat eating. At 8 she decided to try a

peperoni pizza and she loved it. then she wanted to try chicken and

she loved it. I was devastated, but I supported her. I did not

want to do what my parents did to me when I decided to become a

vegetarian and freak out.

> Luckily my husband and I had a deal from the beginning. He can

eat meat and I will not judge as long as I am not expected to buy,

touch or cook it. So while my daughter was going through her phase

he did all of her cooking. luckily her phase only lasted about

three weeks. I find it a struggle to provide my son with enough

protein he is only 2 and the Doctor will not allow him to eat nuts

yet, and he HATES tofu. The pre-packaged vegi sausages he will eat,

however they are filled with sodium and artificial fillers. Maybe

someone has some suggestions for me.
