Teen vegan lunches

[Guest guest]

I completely agree with Melanie - pitas are so fun and easy to make. You can

use anything. I have a cookbook called The Teen's Vegetarian Cookbook by

Judy Krizmanic. Great easy meals.

Also - hummus, black bean dip or tofu slices (bake or saute tofu in a

sauce and use for sandwiches - can do bbq, tamarii, curried etc. Have a

variety of nut butters on hand for variety.

I like BBQ burgers.

1/2 bottle bbq sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 TBPs oil. 8 oz tempeh. Send bread and

this in reusable container.

Also many pasta dish are great cold. Wheat noodles with a peanut sauce -

well heck so many optioms with pasta. Saute veggies and tofu and you have a

fantastic meal.

Soup in a thermos is easy. Try to plan lunches according to what you cook

at home and it will be easier on you.

Fresh fruit, veggies, crackers, popcorn, soy/rice milk as extras.

 

Just some ideas

Rachel
