HI Tannis!

I'm a home-schooling mom of two (9 & 7 ) and we've been vegetarian for

12 years... vegan for 3... the kids have never had meat. When you

realize how much hidden protein is in your food, you will be able to

relax. =) Just check labels.. and if you don't have a label, (for

things like fresh foods or whatever.. ) check at www.nutritiondata.com

where you can type in a food and see just what a label would look

like.. how much protein, calcium.. et cetera! =)

 

what kinds of foods do you and your family eat? WHat are your

daughter's favorites?

 

Welcome to the group! =)

Jenni

Hi Jenni,

 

So nice to meet another homeschooler. I'm going to bookmark that site you

gave, I think it'll help me relax a bit.

 

As far as my daughter's favorite food, she would really still eat meat.

Yesterday she gobbled up way to much meat at my sister's. She does love fruit

but

is now already sick of apples.
