Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Keeping your children as vegetarians over the holidays is your choice Liz, Remind your mom who gave birth to those kids. Im sure when she was raising you, she didnt let other people tell her what to feed her kids. Becky ---- Elizabeth Jackson 3/20/2007 8:59:58 PM Easter " meats " and family confrontations Easter is soon approaching and it's our first holiday as vegetarians. Traditionally our family has ham and ravilois for Easter dinner. Also, our family recipe for meat sauce contains Italian sausage and steak meat. I have tried out the MorningStar Farms meat and really like it, can't tell the difference. Do they have " ham " that tastes real? What about " sausage " ? Also, I've told my mom that we're transitioning to vegetarian diets, but she still insists on feeding the kids meat when they're with her. She will be cooking the meal this year and I don't want to offend her by bringing dishes for my family to eat and her cooking a vegetarian meal is not an option. I haven't told the rest of my family, and I don't think that my sis and her bf will be so understanding. (They live in CA's central valley where livestock production is a way of life.) The bf is especially rude and prone to bad jokes and deep insults. For DH's family meal, it won't be so tricky, his mom always cooks way too much food and there's tons of people, so no one will notice four people not eating meat. What do I do? How do I keep from hurting mom's feelings but stand my ground on doing what's best for my family?
