lunches and kids

[Guest guest]

Here is a few things I pulled from the archives that should help you with

lunches and with Vegan feeding of kids >:)also...do you have a microwave

available for lunch?

if not do you have a problem with many dishes that you could fix in a

container and take with you and eat cold.

 

Tanaista

 

enjoy...starts off with sandwich ideas, goes to links, then magazines, then

feeding kids book and link info, and then 2 more quick things for lunch or

breakfast

 

 

-From the archives

" The Vegetarian Lunchbasket " book? I thought you might like >it for the

kids. Some thoughts (not from the book) are a sandwich with >walnuts, cream

cheese and apple slices on pumpernickel bread, or a cream >cheese sandwich

with asparagus pre-cooked). Also, my food store sells >different flavored

humus that I enjoy.

-there was also several recommendations for the Vegetarian lunch box

 

-Tanaista

Snack my ex used to eat and I got from my sister years ago 1 slice Wheat

bread 1 half avocado spices or salt to your taste Peal the half of the

avocado and take the skin off...spread it like peanut butter on the

bread...sprinkle the herbs, salt whatever one it and eat....also recommend

brief broiling or toaster oven to heat it... is an excellent quick snack for

adults or kids...little fatty but very healthy and yummy >

 

sandwich suggestions

cashew butter and sliced peach

cheese coleslaw and caraway seeds

banana honey and flaked almonds

apple butter w/ raisins or banana (I love apple butter, peanut butter,

banana

sandwiches)

apricot jam banana slices and walnuts

cooked lentils mashed with onion and curry powder

mashed banana , grated carrot, sprinkling of coconut

cream cheese and lightly crushed strawberries

 

walnut bread by diamond is wonderful for sandwiches

 

A quick easy sandwich for you...

 

Baguette (thin loaf of French bread)

Mozzarella cheese

Sun dried tomato

Tomato

Fresh Basil

 

Slice a baguette in half. On each side of the baguette,

,place slices of tomato, some fresh basil leaves, a few thin

slices of sun dried tomato and one or two slices of

Mozzarella cheese. Broil in your toaster oven for a few

minutes until the cheese is melted. Mmmm!

- - over 1,000 Vegan recipes...

http://www.ivu.org - International

 

The best ones are the " Quick and Healthy " series from

Prevention magazine. They come out quarterly. The recipes

are " regular food " and not super-fancy nouvelle cuisine

(which turns my family off). Very few expensive or

hard-to-find ingredients. A fair selection of vegetarian

meals, too.

 

a cookbook that's full of quick and easy

recipes. It's called " Athlete's Kitchen " and is written by

Nancy Clark. The book is written for athletes who wish to

improve their diet. However, it seems as if the meals are

applicable to everyone.

 

2 Magazines that I recommend are " Vegetarian Times " and my favorite " Veggie

Life "

2 lunches from the archives

My favorite lunch is a whole wheat tortilla, a smear of eggless Mayo, sliced

up red bell pepper, cucumber, avocado, tomato, lettuce, sprouts,....etc. Get

a big tortilla!! Or two!! Sometimes I use salad dressing and have a salad on

the run.

 

 

two very quick related

Date Shake 1 1/2 cups almond milk 2 frozen medium bananas 6 large dated,

fresh or frozen, seeds removed Place milk and fruit in a blender. Blend

until thick and creamy. If you like a thinner shake use 1 1/2 bananas. (I

like to add ice too.) Almonnaise 1/2 cup raw almonds 1/2 to 3/4 cup water or

soymilk 2 rounded tsp. soy powder ( optional) 1 tsp. nutritional yeast scant

tsp. garlic powder 3/4 tsp. salt-free seasoning or seasoned salt 1 - 1 1/4

cups safflower or sunflower oil 3 tbs. lemon juice 12 tsp. apple cider

vinegar Cover almonds with boiling water and allow to cool slightly. Slip

off skins. Have all ingredients handy. Place almonds in blender or food

processor and grind to a fine powder. Add half the water or soymilk along

with the soy powder, yeast, garlic powder, and seasoning. Blend well, then

add the remaining water or soymilk to form a smooth cream. With the blender

running on low, drizzle the oil through the whole in the blender lid in a

thin stream until mixture is thick. Keep blender running and add lemon juice

and vinegar. Blend on low for 1 minute longer, to allow mixture to thicken

to desired consistency. Refrigerate tightly sealed; this will keep 10 days

to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Yields 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Get the book! It is

definitely worth the investment! God bless, Shelly, ND
