Foods my teenagers like

[Guest guest]

I used to be a food columnist and newspaper chef, so my boys aren't

picky eaters, of course they love typical foods like pizza, spaghetti,

burritos, my 16 year old loves minestrone soup. My problem is that here

in Wyoming it's practically mandated that you eat meat, and they want

to fit in...we're from Los Angeles, and it was definitely easier to eat

healthy there, it's also much more expensive to eat vegetarian here.

Restaurants are difficult too, you're pretty much stuck with salad and

a baked potato. I'm trying to find some fun new foods to interest them,

and definitely need some recipes for entertaining that omnivores won't

be 'suspicious' of!!! (Why are people afraid of vegi's? and Tofu?)

Hi there...I'm not afraid of veggies but I am not crazy about tofu LOL go

figure.

Anyhow something you can try for your boys and even your friends if you have

a whole foods or trader joes around you is...morning star farm chikn

nuggets, I have given them to meat eaters and they didn't even know...and also

something new I came across that is great for parties and get together's is

taquitos with mock meat, you would never know...I forget who manufactures them

but

they are in a yellow box.

Also try substituting recipes with meat for mock meat, that's how I started

out...now the stuffing and casseroles I make for holidays are all vegetarian.
