Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I just had to share my first successful educational experience with vegetarian and vegan diet styles. In honor of world farm animals' day, I volunteered to make breakfast and lunch for my fourth grade class and the other 8 fourth grade teachers at my school. My menu had tofu eggs, hashbrowns, and slices of tofurkey with mixed fruit for breakfast. The kids RAVED! They were fighting over the grapes Lunch was nachos with tofu crumbles, salsa and guacamole, mac-n-cheez, spinach dip with broc and carrot dippers, veggie dogs, and lettuce wraps with sauteed mushrooms, baked tofu, carrot sticks, sprouts, and a creamy sesame dressing. The teachers all were busy during lunch, except for 1 brave soul . The kids came back for thirds and fourths! Before we went to Health class I showed them the cartoon " Doreen the Downer " and " The Meatrix " . After Health, we came to eat. While I was serving a small group, a few of the kids went back in my room and wrote Thank You's on my white board. One of them read " I love plant food " ! I started to tear up when I read that one I just had to brag to those of you understand this achievement. Thanks for letting me toot my own horn Cassie " life's a garden, dig it!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 What a great selection of food and I'm so happy to hear how about your introduction to all these healthy foods to these kids. They will never forget it. I bet they would love the recipes to take home to their parents, so they could make them for them again. Congratulations and good job!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 This sounds so great....what you did! I just talked to a teacher who has a hospitality class. She and her class may help me with a catering job for a club I belong to. The class will do basically whatever you ask, in our case desserts. They dress in black and white with white gloves, arrange the tables elegantly. They buy the groceries and charge only half. I thought it would so neat down the road to get them to do something vegetarian. Jerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
