[Guest guest]

hi julie,

welcome!

that's great that your son is so open to new foods and

veggies! lucky you.

there are some fake meat products out there that seem

too much like the real thing. veggie hot dogs, veggie

breakfast sausages, veggie burgers, veggie meatballs,

veggie pepperoni, etc.....

i don't eat too many of these products, but my husband

likes some of the morning star farms stuff (chik

patties, veggie dogs, breakfast strips)and the boca

sausages. he has been known to grumble about other

foods i make. lol. he can't/won't cook, so if he has a

problem, he knows where the peanut butter and bread

are!

 

what are some of your favorite dishes?

 

hope you enjoy this list...it's wonderful,

susie

Thanks for the ideas for meat look alikes! I don't know if the meat and

potatoes husband will eat them, but it will at least give me something to

suggest.

 

I enjoy mushrooms, spicy foods and anything chocolate! My son's favorites are

cheese dip, macaroni and cheese, fruit in every shape and size and celery with

peanut putter and raisins. Here's a recipe for stuffed mushrooms that I really

love!

 

4 ounces cream cheese

8 ounces Pepper Jack cheese

1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

a lot of mushrooms, maybe a pound or so, 2 " or bigger, smaller ones for an

appetizer or large ones for a main dish

 

Melt the cheeses together in the microwave

Stir in the breadcrumbs. The texture should be slightly sticky, but not gooey.

Add more breadcrumbs if necessary. Place on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and

bake until the mushrooms are soft, about 15 minutes.

 

This recipe is super fast and easy.

 

Here's another one that I really like too.

 

1 can of vegetarian refried beans

8 ounces of pepper jack cheese

tortilla chips or wheat crackers

 

Melt the cheese in the microwave. Add the beans. Heat and stir occasionally

until the mixture is heated throughout. Use as a dip for chips or crackers.

 

This one is also super easy and quick.
